  1. Re:Cygwin on SUA Deprecated In Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    There is a patch for Cygwin which gives it a huge speed improvement but it wasn't accepted because according to Christopher Faylor "The result is good but the patch isn't the way I chose to implement this." http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2011-q3/msg00030.html

  2. Re:Norton Disk Doctor on Ask Slashdot: Recovering Data From 20-Year-Old Diskettes? · · Score: 1

    NDD moved data from bad sectors to free ones and with that option I managed to salvage many a floppy back in the day.

  3. Re:Nope! on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 1

    Damn. No friendly Microsofters reading this?

  4. Re:Nope! on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 1

    I surprised myself by NOT hating the ribbon in Explorer. First I actually did like Windows 7 and now this. What is happening to me and do I get free TechNet subscription by admitting it in /.?

  5. Re:Nope! on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 3, Insightful

    First thing I've always done with Windows is to enable current incarnation of the classic theme.

  6. Other benchmarks on AMD Breaks Overclocking Record With Bulldozer · · Score: 1

    I am still waiting for actual benchmarks.

  7. Re:Finally! on Xbox 360 Reset Hack Yields Unsigned Code Execution · · Score: 1

    People with access to Win2003 source code have been modifying it to run xbe binaries, google Codename Hiroshima. I have no idea if they ever got it working properly.

  8. Re:Not looking at it for now on Android On HP TouchPad · · Score: 1

    Do they sell Touchpads here in Finland?

  9. Re:Isn't this the most dangerous idea possible on Windows 8 To Fight Piracy With the Cloud · · Score: 1

    I would also like to know how many are "testing" their Technet and MSDN(AA) licenses on their home computers.

  10. My tradition on Doom 3 Source Code To Be Released This Year · · Score: 1

    I keep buying all of their games as long as they keep releasing the source, even if the games suck (Quake 4, Doom 3).

  11. Re:Where is the cash? on Former Nokia Engineers Fueling Finnish Startups · · Score: 1

    There has been electronic surveillance on both sides of the Finnish/Soviet border and both sides knew what was going on.

    Nokia does (used to?) manufacture some of the devices Finland's army used in communications so it isn't a far fetched idea that they worked closely together with Finland's military. In fact most Nokia's Finnish male workers are reservists including the execs.

  12. Re:64-bit flash on Windows on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 1
  13. Commodore on How Do You Get Your Geek Nostalgia Fix? · · Score: 1

    I usually play with emulated C-64 or Amiga. Unfortunately the oldest hardware I have is PS2 which I bought couple of weeks ago.

  14. 64-bit flash on Windows on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 2

    Hopefully Adobe updates Square as it is still at version 10.1.

  15. Re:What does this mean? on Source Engine SDK To Be Free · · Score: 1

    False hope to see Half-life episode 3 or Half-life 3 one day?

  16. What does this mean? on Source Engine SDK To Be Free · · Score: 1

    Are Valve preparing to release something?

  17. Re:makes sense on RMS Cancels Lectures In Israel · · Score: 0

    The Inuit might have killed the original Greenland colonists.

  18. Re:Really? on Finnish Record Labels Want To Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    TTVK (IFPI representative in Finland) is blaming piracy when the real reason is that most Finnish online record stores are not very good and the music is full of DRM.

  19. Re:Going back to 1998... on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Your UID is too high to complain about UID's. Oh wait...

  20. Backwards compatibility on What Developers Want From the Wii's Successor · · Score: 1

    If I can buy Wii 2 and play the games I already own they will have at least one sale.

  21. Ask the experts on FBI Overwhelmed With 'Solutions' To Encrypted Note · · Score: 1

    Didn't they think of asking NSA about the encryption?

  22. Re:The best one on King's Quest III Remake Released · · Score: 1

    I think you are right, here's a video.

  23. Re:Project Gutenberg with DRM on eBook Lending Library Launched · · Score: 1

    So... its basically Project Gutenberg with added DRM?

    The books are quite a bit more recent, check William Gibson's available books:

  24. Cheaper assembly on Laptop Design For Disassembly · · Score: 2

    This would mean cheaper assembly costs for manufacturers.

  25. Re:"Engaging"? on Australian Telco Telstra Complies With GPL · · Score: 1

    The same happened with the T-box which is produced by another French company Netgem. Netgem released their latest source only after pressure from Telstra.
