  1. its a free market world for god sake on Google Maps Creator Takes Browsers To The Limit · · Score: 1

    if you go to example.com and see no popup but a lot of nice coded hacks on your browser to make their service more productive, then you go to freeexamplesgratis.com and see the same hacks used to open popups. you just waste some 8 hours closing them and never come back to free..com, they die, their advertisers has to pay for the non-intrusive ad model from the polite example.com wich you uses exclusively now. everyone happy.

    what's so damn boring about intrusive ads and popups. close them, close the site that opened them and never come back.

    is it so dificult? ...now, about spam...

  2. warranty voided? on RFID Tags To Track Foreigners, Identify Dead · · Score: 1

    > VeriChip advocates argue it could help in these circumstances.

    uh? wouldn't exploding the device void the warranty?

  3. Re:bloat for KDE too? on KDE's future: Plasma & SimpleKDE · · Score: 1

    i agree with you.

    gnome is simply stagnated. no more preferences (i'd like to resize my windows with alt+LMB, please!) and lots and lots of futile memory eating crap.

    that's why i use exclusively ion3

  5. dupe on dupe on How Computers Work -- Circa 1979 · · Score: 1

    morse translation:

    - oooo o ooo oo --o = thesig

  7. Re:Close Window 'X' on Windows Longhorn Beta Screenshots · · Score: 1

    they win more money with that than you can think of. because the average user think of computer = windows.

    if they change too much, they loose their main appeal. they must be conservative.

    sad but true. I for myself, would start redesigning the keyboard and mouse. let alone keep any crap on todays UI.

  8. phishing! on Man Convicted For Hacking Xbox · · Score: 1

    screw those phishing titles! goddamit

    headline: mans arrested for giving out candies!
    TFA: the was distributing candies fillied with cocaine near a elementary school.

  9. Re:16000 formats?!? on Archiving Digital History at the NARA · · Score: 1

    "According to NARA's specifications, the system must ultimately be able to absorb any of the 16,000 other software formats believed to be in use throughout the federal bureaucracy"

    probably some versions of WORD are there. so they will need to run office macros to not hurt DMCA while extracting keywords on those

  10. in soviet russia.... on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    in soviet russia, people get more respect and privacy then in united states.

  11. Re:not trusting trusted people on Firefox Extension for Applied Social Networking · · Score: 1

    > Well, the thing is that I can trust many people I know with my life, but not with my computer.

    ...maybe if you stop stocking up all that weird pr0n stuff

  12. Re:Nice read and all, but... ...nice and All! on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 1

    > Yeah, I mean pure text/command line/keyboard only is great if you're a programmer. But I need a mouse for doing art/graphics

    You can edit SVG in jEdit (yep, it's a text editor)

    > much easier than having to tab 30 times till the correct hyperlink is selected in my browser

    I find MUCH easier to type "/" and then the link text. i don't have to scroll or look for the link, the browser does it for me. (unless you use IE or other mac crap. stay with mozilla and opera)

  13. Re:How about firefox? on Plugging Internet Explorer's Leaks · · Score: 1

    yah, and redering incosistence should be left to the comitees, right?

  15. Re:Anyone notice this tidbit? on The Nintendo Conference In-Depth · · Score: 1

    Nintend had a nice and cheap development kit for the GBA and gamecube. It was very clear that was with the weekend game designer in mind. But as soon as it appeared in stores in japan, it was gone. removed from the market

    The GBA was a simple cable, so it appeared in the korean black market prety soon. I belive that it's the base of the unofficial movie players, mp3 players and other nice stuff that appeared for the GBA.

  17. slashdoted on Enterprise Finale Airing Tonight · · Score: 2, Funny

    > Be sure to tune in to UPN tonight

    as usual, no mirrors mentioned. tsk tsk tsk

  18. firefox and torrents on Firefox Promo Videos · · Score: 1

    getting a torrent is way too much trouble...

    what about letting the browser treat it like another protocol?

    torrent://1.2.3.4/video1.torrent

    and the browser deals with loading the hash file and conecting to peers and all the hassle. so to me, it's just another download link...

  19. Ugly is relative... on Microsoft Demands Removal Of Longhorn Images · · Score: 1

    those folder icons reminds me a *lot* of Next icons. i find that way too early 80's to be any perty.

  22. word play on AOL: We're Not Spying on AIM Users · · Score: 1

    > He also says AIM communiques are never stored
    > on AOL's hard drives

    they use the bazilion CDs they have left.

    they were planing a second wave of "free internet" cds. but since the gov prohibited them on the basis of enviromental damage, they don't have to waste hard drives space for some 11 years.

  23. this text is dumb and alarmist on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 1

    AOL just is saying that "if you put in you email and interests, we can publish a page on our servers and send that crap to another users if they request"

    it don't mention messages, you bunch of dumb paranoids.

    after all, you don't post a message to aim, you send it specificaly to another user.

  24. dumb assumption on Women Leaving I.T. · · Score: 1

    if it was 40-some% and now it's 30-some% it could also mean that there are a increase in companies hiring man, not an exodus from the ladies side. Also, could mean an exodus, of course. ... maybe lots of porn sites broke in a retarded dot com effect

  25. virus patent on Symantec Patents Multiple File Area Virus Scanning · · Score: 0

    why they just don't patent the virus?

    100% of windows computers have virus, so they can sue anyone that uses windows and don't have a license for the viruses.

    They could outcame bill gates fortune since most computers would require an average 200 liceses each.
