    There is hardly anything "binary-compatible" with Haiku anymore

  2. Re:I've always admired peoples' commitment on Free Software PS2 Emulator PCSX2 Hits 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Yes, but if they're going to do that, then what's the point of using a console?

    I stick in my disc and feel good that it works

    Absolutely. I am willing to provide such for $10M USD up front, plus a lucrative contract that guarantees my employment over the next 5 years to provide you such a service/product

    I was looking for a sidebar gadget for NASA TV and found the ones out there out of date (and not working). For those who care, you can grab my 2 hours of boredom in creating a working sidebar app at: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BydS_KYWdjtXMVNTbkdjZjdsWE0

    It isn't perfect, but I am enjoying it. I hope you do as well.

    (which, itself, seems rather retarded; Why does adding a name to a file containing a list cost a hundred grand?)

    Because, else, you would have bots registering domains for squatting, at the cheapest price offered. Since it is a race to the bottom without some sort of oversight, this is the way that keeps you from having to register myawesomecompany93282.com

  8. Re:What else are they going to do with the cash? on Apple Reportedly Considering Huge Investment In Twitter · · Score: 1

    Didn't you ever play an economic simulation game? Dumping money into R&D ends up bottoming out at some point. The way to win the game is to increase productivity to bring the cost of manufacturing down

  9. Re:Why not pre encrypt. on Microsoft Won't Say If Skype Is Secure Or Not. Time To Change? · · Score: 2

    Because it is a voice service, not a data service. The system compresses the "sound" going across the line, and sometimes even drops bits to keep the latency bearable. You could use some sort of analog device which can survive through such things, but then we are right back in the early 1980's.

    More like, we will find that quantum physics and standard model don't actually differ, but only in observation.

    If I want to buy a Windows lockin computer to run Windows, that doesn't keep anyone from producing a product that can run any free os.

    It just takes her a lot longer (the slow part.)

    I'm assuming you are female, being that the default for an unknown gender (when one is used) is masculine.

  24. Re:What? on Microsoft Kills Windows Gadgets Via Security Update · · Score: 1

    Sidebar Gadgets seem benign, but they are for all intents and purposes an IE window, running in the local zone (by default can create any ActiveX object on the system), with no scripting restrictions. So someone with admin rights can essentially install something that is telling them the weather, but can be quite mean. It isn't an obvious vector.
