  1. Re:My statistics on Is IE Usage Share Collapsing? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, that is weird, I'd wonder if you're missing something stats-wise or if your site has some Safari issue you're not aware of? I work with a range of different sites, and I don't think I've seen Safari usage under five percent for any of them any time this year. FWIW, I haven't seen the giant drop the OP is referring to, just a continuation of the slow slide.

  2. Re:Riding along with video card performance is sma on Lightroom Vs. Aperture · · Score: 1

    Aperture's performance is fine for me, same hardware (MacBook Pro, 2.16 C2D, 2G RAM, 128MB graphics card). The (very individual) deciding factor for me was the interface- Aperture makes sense to me. Lightroom 's interface just isn't intuitive for my brain, I experimented with the beta versions as they came out and it was much more work to get it to Do What I Want.

    step 1: google "os x text editor" step 2: there is no step 2

  4. Re:What really concerns me on U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think so- I'm surprised there hasn't been more attention paid to that little mention in the first place. The dig at Google and the omission of other search engines having already caved (MSN likely one of them, being #3), combined with the article being on MSN, suggests bias to me.

  5. Re:What really concerns me on U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records · · Score: 1
    Interestingly, the MSN article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10925344/ mentions nothing about other search engines having handed over data, and also has an above-the-fold paragraph starting with "Privacy advocates have been increasingly scrutinizing Google's practices..."

    cute.

  6. Re:As an owner of the DSC-R1 on Sony Announced Hybrid Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    yes please- I don't care so much about the live preview, but I'm really excited because I expect there's no mirror slap. I make porn, we shoot stills and video at the same time, and I would _love_ to have a decent camera that didn't leave us with a stream of 'k-klick, k-klicks' in our audio...

  7. legit, non ad-supported use: on BitTorrent Gets $8.75M From Venture-Capital Firm · · Score: 1

    ads themselves. We make porn. Sometimes we'll make something that we think is clever and entertaining freely available, e.g. a Pirate vs Ninja short we made for a local film festival. People get free stuff they like, we get exposure and hopefully customers, everybody wins.

  8. Re:porn via RSS on RSS Reaches Out for New Networks · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen it on any of the BDSM sites, which is all I really track... I dunno why, seems like a natural.

    fwiw, direct link to the site

    sorry, should have included that in the original

  10. porn via RSS on RSS Reaches Out for New Networks · · Score: 3, Informative
    We found a way to use RSS in porn, which I'm amazed noone else is doing yet. I run a BDSM porn site, we provide two RSS feeds for the weekly updates. One is for nonmembers, and links to a preview of each update, the other is for members, linking to the update itself. Since people still have to authenticate to get to the actual content, we don't have to worry about authenticating the members' feed.

    This saves hassle for subscribers and browsers, since they don't have to keep checking back to see if we've updated, plus maybe saves a bit of bandwidth for us. Win for everybody.

    The site's Two Big Meanies, the nonmembers feed is at http://www.twobigmeanies.com/updates_rss.php if anyone's interested.

  11. Re:They do? on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 1

    >First, no, the exit polls do not suggest that. They perfectly mirror the results. They do now. At 10:30 PST last night, CNN was showing exit polls for Ohio with Kerry in the lead 52% to 48%. As of about one o'clock, this had changed significicantly. More specifically, they showed turnout late last night of 47% men and 53% women, with women voting Kerry 53%/47%, and men voting Kerry 51%/49%. They are now showing the same ratio of men and women, but women voting 50/50 and men voting 52%/47%.

  12. Re:"Scaling back WinFS" on Windows XP To Get Longhorn Technologies · · Score: 1
    They're not scaling back WinFS. There's no where in the article it even states this. All it says is that it will be available in beta form upon the client release.
    From the article: "The company is pushing some key improvements out of Longhorn, including the WinFS file system, for its release in 2006. The trade-offs are an effort to deliver other desired features on time. "
