  1. Re:Why is FreeDOS more expensive than Windows? on Dell Pre-Installing Firefox in UK · · Score: 1

    because maitaining a seperate SKU costs money, those machines have to be kept seperate from the identical hardware machines with windows otherwise cletus will be really pissed when his new com-poo--taar shows a blank screen then "no OS found"

    if Dell were to roll that cost out among all their machines they would be at a competitive disadvantage against companies not maintaining a seperate SKU without windows pre-installed.

    the last version of MSN messenger i saw didn't conform to windows standards either, it used a "web" style interface that bugged the crap out of me till i just stopped using it.

    7zip can be cranked up[ to recockulous levels, IIRC Half Life 2 compressed to 1.5 gigs with 7zip in ultra mode, which requires 384 megs of ram to compress

  7. Re:Deemed installs on Tennessee to Tax Software as Property? · · Score: 1

    most state governments couldn't collude a shovel and a dirt pile effectively enough to fill a damned hole so fat chance on using taxes to kill open source

  8. Re:CAPTCHA on Blizzard Banhammer Kills 18k · · Score: 1

    then again access to a full 3D engine would give better possibilities for a CAPTCHA than web pages

    it probably looks for certain very repititious patterns created by the script that a human could not duplicate even deliberately

    the point of nodrop purchase items is to provide a money sink, it also makes it imposable to easilly upgrade by just selling and trading up.

    mission critical isn't that bad. it means something that you are double plus fucked if it goes down. usually one of two things

    you may want to fix that link in your sig, it's going to an unpatched IIS 5 server and i just put sub7 on your computer

  18. sidestep the issue on How Would You Design a Captcha for the Deaf-Blind? · · Score: 1

    well, it would require more organization and centralization but if the world's major deafblind organizations got together and issues digital certificates to their members site owners could accept the certificate as an alternate registration and alternate login to bypass the captcha.

    sort of like handicapped parking rather than making all parking spaces accessable to handicapped people we set aside alternative places to park which require a basic form of authentication (tags and stickers) the internet lends itself very well to advanced authenication.

    actually you could call anyone's mother a filthy whore without fear, 'filthy whore' is a profane statement and would not be considered a statement of fact. if you said she was a prostitute without good hygeine you would be in trouble... unless, of course, it was true.
