  1. Re:Aye, pirates be the reason IE6 just won’t on IE6 Still Going Strong In China · · Score: 2

    Maxthon and other popular chinese browsers happily identify themselves as IE6

  2. Re:Aye, pirates be the reason IE6 just won’t on IE6 Still Going Strong In China · · Score: 2

    Rendering is not the issue, the main problem is custom activex which is pushed even from government web sites.

  3. Re:The way I see it. on Panetta Says Defeat of Al Qaeda 'Within Reach' · · Score: 1

    Maybe the problem is excessive aid?
    Constant flow of aid prevents the local economy from growing to self-sustaining healthy levels.
    Since the food is being airlifted in, the farmers might aswell grow poppy.

  4. Re:Medical Marijuana on @Whitehouse Hosting Twitter Town Hall On Wednesday · · Score: 2

    Really?
    The budget deficit is through the roof, economy is declining, jobs are being lost and the presidents main concern should be legalizing drugs?

  5. Re:But the Best Buy guy said it does on Retailer Calls Rivals' Bluff On "HDMI Scam" · · Score: 0

    Gold plated connectors are used in military/industrial applications because the connectors will not create spark when connected.
    Non-sparking makes it suitable for Ex-applications.

  6. Re:whats it called? on China Grows Its Own Twitter · · Score: 1
    Twitter is irrelevant in China as there are plenty of microblog sites to choose
    • Sina
    • Tieba
    • 163
    • Taotao

    And all have one key feature working for their advantage: the service is in chinese
    I wouldn't use a site which main interface language is russian, as I don't speak/read it. Same logic applies to chinese using twitter.

  7. Only with keyboard support? on Cisco's Tablet Act Like a Desktop · · Score: 2

    My $99 dealextreme android tablet was happy to respond when I connected usb keyboard and mouse to it.
    It also has vnc and remote desktop apps to connect to othe devices.

  8. Sometimes custom 404 is bad for employment on 30 Creative 404 Error Pages · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was helping our HR to sort few applications to an open position in our company once.
    Otherwise promising CV had cover letter containing a link to his work examples online.
    Too bad, the link was truncated by our HR software and split into two rows, of course the software created link to the first half of the url only.
    The applicant was quickly ruled out as a candidate since the 404 page from the incomplete link had goatse on it.
    I did check the actual link by fixing it manually but our HR had already shredded the files by then.

  9. Re:David J Beveridge hates learning? on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    When an HR monkey or potential hiring manager receives your resume and does a simple google search on David J Beveridge, what makes you think this slashdot submission is going to result in a job interview?

    Depends on the legislation. If HR monkey googles your name in Finland, it gives the applicant grounds for a lawsuit. Since you're not employed yet by that company it's gross violation on your privacy for a company to search your name online.

  10. Re:Sounds interesting on Book Review: Alfresco 3 Records Management · · Score: 1

    How about SVN?
    It's not really intended to be used with binary files, but it works with them.
    You can keep multiple versions, track changes, insert comments on changes and it has multiple nice end user clients available.

    I've tried to implement alfresco couple of times to do that kind of things, but honestly its simply too much hassle to configure to get running.
    The alfresco share concept is nice, but it doesn't work properly with windows 7 unless you force it to use degraded share security levels.

  11. Defrag and die on New Tool Hides Data In Plain Sight On HDDs · · Score: -1

    They hide data by splitting it into small pieces, writing it to disk in random order and marking that sector empty. Sounds like a disaster to me, all you need to do is to use the disk, just defrag it and your hidden data is gone.

  12. I tried.. on Microsoft Files EU Competition Complaint Against Google · · Score: 1

    I tried to find some evidence to back up Microsoft claims regarding this matter using Bing, but sadly no results were available.
    Oddly enough, google yields something when same term is entered.

  13. Have spacesuit.. on Two Slightly Used Space Suits For Sale · · Score: 2

    Have spacesuit - Will Travel

  14. Re:Compatibility? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    But render time is now seconds instead minutes and when scrolling down comments, the screen doesn't freeze to a checkerboard for 30 seconds+ while the sliderbar loaded.

  15. Re:Do as Google says.. on When Should I Buy an Android Tablet? · · Score: 1

    And exactly what guarantees that the tablet you get now is upgradable in the future?
    Besides faster processors get cheaper over time, so your just bought tablet will be underpowered when/if the new version arrives to it.

  16. Do as Google says.. on When Should I Buy an Android Tablet? · · Score: 2

    If you really must have Android tablet, do as Google says and wait for the release of android 3.0.
    Google says 2.x is not suited/intended to run on tablets, so your experience is likely sub-par.

  17. Re:Empty theatrics on Michael Moore Posts Julian Assange's Bail · · Score: 4, Insightful

    > Assange is wanted for questioning for alleged sex crimes involving two women in Sweden.
    What annoys me with media is that they twist the sentence above to say that he's wanted for rape charges.

  18. Let's phrase it like this.. on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    Sarah Palin assumes communist regime is US ally. If you vote for Palin and republicans, you're voting for communists!

  19. Re:Last IP! on Free IPv4 Pool Now Down To Seven /8s · · Score: 1

    Sure you can have address blocks down to /32, but are those assigned blocks or provider aggregated?
    If you change network provider, you cannot take the addresses with you if using provider aggregated publicly routed addresses.

  20. Re:Industrial product design matters. on How Apple Had a Spectacular Year · · Score: 0

    > Industrial product design matters.
    Except all current Apple products have been made for consumer market, not industrial.

  21. It's mostly going to lawyers.. on How Apple Had a Spectacular Year · · Score: 1

    With all the ongoing lawsuits, the cashflow is certainly needed.
    Some of the patent trials will eventually go south on their part and the compensations are calculated in billions.

  22. Why android? on Hands-On With Acer's New 10-Inch Android Tablet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Where are Maemo/Meego tablets?
    Why is everyone pushing android for tablets when even the original author says it's not designed for that purpose.
    Maemo & Meego are opensource and free, and they are designed to be used on tablets.

  23. Standard reporting income at lowest taxed country on Google Warns Irish Government Against Tax Increase · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Google is using the standard "report income where tax is lowest" strategy in EU. Google has subsidiaries in multiple countries, and they can avoid paying more taxes by moving their income around as internal expenses.
    Subsidiaries appear to be barely breaking even, and mothercompany reports higher profit.

    QT is not just desktop, Maemo/Meego and Symbian devices are(or will soon be) QT compatible. That's big chunk of mobile market, both smart and dumbphones.
