  1. Re:Can't RTFA. Already /.'ed after just ONE commen on Next-Generation CAPTCHA Exploits the Semantic Gap · · Score: 1

    CGA itself is colour-blind. The picture is a dithered mess, but I doubt it wouldn't work in greyscale as well. Since it is composited of several images, if you have trouble finding the boundaries (and therefore the centre) of one, just pick another.

  2. Re:This is how I learn. on Practical Web 2.0 Applications with PHP · · Score: 1

    Blame that on MySQL, not PHP. It's a part of MySQL's C API: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-real-escape-string.html

  3. Re:screw driver - they do have screws in the case on How to Say Goodbye to Old Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the RIAA/MPAA would want to see how much file sharing the user was involved in. No amount of disgusting sludge is going to detract them (although the sludge might crawl away at the sight of a RIAA/MPAA lawyer -- there are some things even garbage can't stand).

  4. Re:Stargate Infinity, where? on Third Stargate TV Series Named · · Score: 1

    I *did* track it down and man, am I sorry.

  5. Re:I think the verb is the wrong one. on The Dutch Kill Analog TV Nationwide · · Score: 1

    Given the laws in this country, I prefer to say we euthanised it.

  6. Re:Which version is this... on Windows Vista RC1 Complete · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's newer. The build number is higher.

  7. Re:Reality cares. on 1.50 Downgrader for 2.50/2.60 PSPs Released · · Score: 1

    I could care less... but only if paid to do so.

  8. Re:Like New on DRM Lite for Electronic Textbooks · · Score: 1

    The numbers at the bottom seem to be the 10 most recently entered (by all visitors). Looking at the Ajax source, there doesn't seem to be too much going on. Letting the timer run out (or faking that) simply results in the page reloading. The server sends a new display for the top left numbers and the bottom row (as well as a "seconds" count for the top right, but it is not actually used).

  9. Re:Desperation on J.J. Abrams To Direct New 'Star Trek' Film · · Score: 2, Informative

    It was actually Gul Madred, played by David Warner.

  10. Re:Two plus One is Three. on Google and Skype in Startup to Link Hotspots · · Score: 1

    The "Steve" membership will throw a chair at you when you try to disconnect.

  11. Re:Cool, does it run under KDE? on IE7 Leaked · · Score: 1

    And exactly how much of that do you think is still in the codebase today?

  12. Re:Disc World on Rumors of Pratchett Film · · Score: 1

    Modded off-topic? And Disc World is such famous Terry Pratchett goodness. It should be made into a movie. And the game is hilarious!

  13. Re:Just use lead-lined clay, like the ancient Roma on Earth's Copper Supply Inadequate For Development? · · Score: 1

    Pah... the ancient Romans are all dead.

  14. Re:Not what I thought this was on Scientists Find Preserved Dodo Bird Bones · · Score: 1

    We Dutch have always worked well with others...

  15. Re:Javascript vs. Jscript on Microsoft Ends IE for Mac · · Score: 1

    The memory leaks are inherent in the design of JavaScript, not MS' implementation: http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2005/02/ja vascript_memo.html.

  16. Re:barn door, horse... on Microsoft Windows XP N Flops · · Score: 1

    Without Internet Explorer, how would the average user get Firefox on his machine? It'd have to be distributed to them on CD. Don't AOL create enough coasters already? People might actually have to use them! We can't have that!

  17. Re:Uh-oh. on .Net Framework and Visual Studio Now Available · · Score: 1
    Yes, I'm sure. From the VC++ Express FAQ:

    Q: Does Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition include the "optimizing compiler"
    A:Yes, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition includes the same core optimizing compiler that will be included with all other Visual Studio 2005 editions. It should be noted that some new expanded optimization features, including Profile Guided Optimizations, will be available only in the Professional and above editions of Visual Studio 2005.

  18. Re:Is it free? on .Net Framework and Visual Studio Now Available · · Score: 1

    The limits are not all that severe. Very few people will be likely to actually need to upgrade to a more advanced version. Check out the differences here. Personally, I won't need anything the Express editions can't offer. It has also been said that, while the boxed version of Express will be $49, the download version will be free (although this has not yet been officially confirmed). Unlike the older versions of MSVC (for instance), which had the optimising compiler only in the professional edition, the express editions seem extremely capable. While this will likely decrease MS' revenue stream from the VS line, it can be an important factor in keeping people on Windows.

  19. Re:Uh-oh. on .Net Framework and Visual Studio Now Available · · Score: 1

    Those limits are not as severe as you might think. All editions contain the same compilers. Many (if not most) developers won't run into the limitations. The ones that do are probably doing software development for companies that already have MSDN subscriptions anyway. Check out the differences here

  20. Re:Well, just another bug on Unpatched Firefox Flaw May Expose Users · · Score: 1

    Ah, the development beta does. Every other extension I have does not (livehttpheaders, flashblock, web developer etc). They claim to be incompatible with 1.4. Let's hope extension authors will have compatible versions ready when the final version of FF1.5 comes out.

  21. Re:Well, just another bug on Unpatched Firefox Flaw May Expose Users · · Score: 1

    One reasons it might not work is that FF Beta 1 (Deer Park) doesn't support the current version of GreaseMonkey (or AdBlock for that matter).

  22. Re:Editors... please EDIT on Katrina Delays Shuttle · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since you have "nASA" in there twice (2^4 = 16 possibilities) and the original poster used 3 different capitalisations (nasa, NASA and Nasa), the correct answer is 13 more. No wonder you posted AC.

  23. Re:"originial" on 10 Technologies MIA · · Score: 1

    Seems like somebody has managed to miss spellcheckers, even though they're still here!

  24. Re:I wouldn't count on it. on Cisco Going Mobile, Acquiring Nokia? · · Score: 1

    Still, seems like it would be more of a merger than a takeover. Very unlikely Cisco could come up with the cash to completely *buy* Nokia.

  25. My brain is not working properly... on Worms Could Dodge Net traps · · Score: 1

    When I saw the thread title, I only thought of real worms (you know, the squirmy squishy things in that big blue room that has way too few accessible electrical outlets) and fishing nets.
