  1. What about server push / comet? on Microsoft Joins OpenAjax Alliance · · Score: 1

    Ajax is currently supported on many browsers, even if a more standardized way would be welcome. What is really missing is a way for server to send data to the client, and this is often emulated using hidden iframe's that never load completely. Is there any plan to improve on this?

  2. No freedom damaged (yet) on Vista a Threat to Internet Freedom? · · Score: 1

    No freedom is damaged while you can still avoid using Vista. Of course if ever all computers will have a Fritz chip with hardware DRM it will be a different thing.

  3. Great! on High-Tech Shopping In a Window Wonderland · · Score: 1

    High-Tech Shopping in a WindowS Wonderland!!! uh, nevermind :)

  4. No doubt that users do not like binary blobs on Root Exploit For NVIDIA Closed-Source Linux Driver · · Score: 1

    But i hope that this will make understand that binary blobs are evil to corporate users.

  5. What? on Why Johnny Can't Code · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The darth side of programming?

  6. Oh, i just read on Nigeria Widows Lose Their Fortune · · Score: 1

    "Nigeria Windows" oh, however...

  7. Who uses the world Antiamerican is a troll on Possible Delays for Vista in Europe · · Score: 1

    Who says antiamerican is just trying to say "all or nothing", he is offending american and non-american people, and he is trying to transform critics (that he does not like) into conflicts.

  8. Finally! on Former MS Security Strategist Joins Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Mozilla will now be able to compete with Internet Explorer!

  9. BTW Linux too on The Future of NetBSD · · Score: 1

    it is still a bit of a niche OS, at least compared with Microsoft. And when i read that 99.99% of desktop computers uses Microsoft Window i don't think that Linux is dying. I just use it on my desktop every day, and it is enough :)

  10. Low price? on Windows Vista Prices and Release Date Leaked · · Score: 1

    Soon microsoft will start paying people to use windows :)

  11. QEMU!!!! (and KQEMU virtualization module) on VMware, XenSource Join Forces For Linux · · Score: 1

    QEMU is a dynamic translator, ie like bochs but MUCH faster. Not only, there is KQEMU that is a kernel module to enable true virtualization for QEMU (like VMWare). Unluckily, KQEMU is not open source, but the creator Fabrice Bellard is willing to release the source if he gets the money he deserves. I think QEMU/KQEMU deserves more attention...

  12. The free edition on C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    does not require the application to be GPL, it requires it be open source (OSI), since the free edition is dually licensed GPL/QPL. The funny thing is that if Qt were QPL only, you could use almost all opensource licenses (eg. BSD) but not GPL, because the GPL require anythings you link with to be GPL compatible as well! So dual licensing is really necessary :)

  13. I think that we (Europeans) on U.S. to Gain Access to EU Retained Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    should absolutly try to solve this kind of problems together with our American fellows, since in a global world a problems for someone is also going to be a problem of all. I mean, please let's not start Yet Another Flamewar about EU vs USA.

  14. Cloak of evasion? on Cloak of Invisibility Coming Soon · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    and why not a cloak of immolation?

  15. KQemu on How Virtualization Led Microsoft to Support Linux · · Score: 1

    I hope that the kqemu modules (that gives qemu true virtualization throug a kernel module) will get some founds and get opensource soon :), so that at least there will be some competition. I find strange that people talk a lot about Xen and friends while kqemu is not being considered at all.

  16. Microsoft has identified too that... on Aero To Be Unavailable To Pirates · · Score: 1

    ... allowing pirates to use some crippled version of windows is crucial for keeping the market

  17. Opensource DRM? on Sun's Open Source DRM · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is it still 1st April?

  18. a continuous function is NOT on Swedish Mathematician Lennart Carleson Wins Abel · · Score: 2, Informative

    one with a connected graph. For instance the function equal to sin(1/x) for x != 0 and 0 for x = 0 does have a connected graph but is NOT continuous.

  19. Nice idea... on IEEE Proposes New Class of Patents · · Score: 1

    That of making (possibly all) patents last 4 years.

  20. ATI cards are good... on ATI vs. Nvidia in a Video Shootout · · Score: -1, Troll

    Too bad that their drivers suck (even those for Windows).

  21. I'd like to know... on Genetic Clues to Cause of Death? · · Score: 1

    what would be the genetic activity in the scientists that did this experiment after being strangled or decapitated. Anyone interesting in doing a try?

  22. Well, i think too... on Andy Tanenbaum Releases Minix 3 · · Score: 1

    that micro-kernels are more "reliable" than monolithic kernels. The problems come with the low performance, but also in the design phase when you have to decide which layers are above which layers. Ie: should the VM (Vistual Memory) be stacked above VFS (Virtual File System) or VFS above VM? VFS requires VM for file m-mapping, VM requires VFS for swap. I'd like to know how Tanenbaum solved this problem :)

  23. Wow, interesting! on A Guided Tour of the Microsoft Command Shell · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was thinking that microsoft would never provide such a thing, but only the unusable DOS/cmd.exe prompt, to make windows users think that "operating systems based on the command line are very difficult to use" :) I'm now interested to see how it maps with gnu bash, if it tries to superseed it with features or will be vaguely compatible with it... Nice!

  24. Re:Maturity on Interview With Reiser4 Author Hans Reiser · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More CPU % time is used because Reiser4 is faster. What should be compared is the overall CPU power needed for a filesystem operation. And even if reiser4 is really using more CPU, remember that the CPU power is growing much faster than hd speed.

  25. So why would be windows performance... on Performance of 64-bit vs. 32-bit Windows Dual Core · · Score: 1

    so important while comparing 32bits vs 64bits?
