  1. Re:Safari? on The Greatest Keyboard Shortcut Ever · · Score: 1

    Safari makes it too easy- Command-Z works fine.

  2. Vulnerabilities on iOS 6.1.3 Beta 2 Patches evasi0n Jailbreak · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is there so much outrage at this? Jailbreaking works by first finding bugs and vulnerabilities and then exploiting them. Yes, Apple is preventing jailbreaking, but they're also securing their OS.

  3. Domain Keys doesn't have the same issue on Gmail, SPF, and Broken Email Forwarding? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Domain Keys authenticates that the message was generated by a server with access to the DK private key. Forwarding the message does not affect the originator of the message, so the Domain Key authentication still checks out.

    SPF and DKs solve similar issues, but in a much different manner.

  4. Re:Nintendo's new motto: on Wii 'Popularity Bubble' to Burst? · · Score: 1

    You do know that you can play Gamecube games on your Wii, right?

    That'd keep the dust off of it.

  5. Re:Deja GIF. on Microsoft's HD Photo to Become JPEG Standard? · · Score: 1

    Also the fact that Internet Explorer didn't support PNG alpha transparency didn't help. At least IE7 finally does.

  6. Re:Hmmm on HardOCP Spends 30 Days With MacOSX · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's also pretty easy to add ram to an iMac.

    So, Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro can all upgrade ram easily. The Mac Mini is the exception, not the rule.

  7. Re:with an ad no less on FreeBSD 6.2 Released To Mirrors · · Score: 1

    I agree. One less step when performing a standard FreeBSD install!

  8. Re:Sliders on Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD · · Score: 1

    no way. I don't think the Internet Tubes could handle a whole vinyl record shop.

  9. Re:In other news... on The Future & History of the User Interface · · Score: 1

    Say no more!

  10. Re:'Full iCal support' on Google Calendar · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've been using Mozilla's calendar in various formats for awhile, and it doesn't really 'sync'. It downloads a new copy before uploading your changes. Works alright for single user systems, but definitely doesn't scale. That's where the work on CalDav and such should help.

  11. Re:Doesn't add up. on Did Apple Sabotage the ROKR? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I call AAC a standard that can be licensed by anyone.

    My guess is that you're more concerned with the Fairplay DRM that comes attached to songs purchased from iTunes. The iPod is quite capable of playing MP3s and iTunes is more than happy to let you rip songs to MP3 format.

  12. Re:Sorry, on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    AD is not an acronym for 'After Death,' but rather 'Anno Domini' (Latin: In the Year of Our Lord).

  13. Re:Apple, Please improve your Beta system! on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    For live albums I find it much easier to add a '(live)' tag or something similar to the end of the song title. That keeps the duplicate song feature from matching and makes determining live songs a lot easier when browsing by song titles.

  14. Re:Who needs a screen? on More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wouldn't that be an iPlug?

  15. Re:Brainstorm1!!! on Is Piracy the Pathway to Apple Profit? · · Score: 1

    Well, they're only bundled when you buy a new Mac. They are NOT bundled when you buy Mac OSX off-the-shelf.

  16. Re:*Opens Window* on Mad as Hell, Switching to Mac · · Score: 1

    You took the words right out of my mouth.
    Long live UHF!

  17. Re:privacy, schmivacy on Charles Walton, the Father of RFID · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, #3 isn't too big of a concern.

    The RFID contains NO information other than its own ID. Anything that obtains/reads that ID still has to hook into some database that contains the list of previous actions using that ID.

    So, really, the privacy issue in that regard isn't that bad.

  18. LED Technology? on The Future of Cars According to Toyota · · Score: 3, Funny
    "When PMs are communicating with other PMs, LED technology is employed to change the color of the vehicle to indicate "emotions" and situations. Different colors display on the door tips, antennas, headlamps, side and rear panels, and rear wheels to indicate what activities are taking place in the PM."

    Good thing it's a single seater!
