  1. Re:There is a difference: on Windows 7 Not Getting A Second Service Pack · · Score: 1

    The Lion -> Mountain Lion upgrades are like service paks. And there's no support lifecycles on service paks.

  2. Re:Viewers have to have IPv6 too on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When Finding a Security Breach On Shared Hosting? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, do you think the actual date for XP EOL will make that much difference to those that are still using it now? If we started using IPV6 seriously, I think the IPV4 only clients might do something about moving to IPv6. Maybe...

  3. Re:Enter Kaspersky on Industrial Control Software Easily Hackable · · Score: 1

    That's going to have a chilling effect on their 'citizens' volunteering anything happening.

  4. Re:Which entry-level VPS provider? on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When Finding a Security Breach On Shared Hosting? · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the point of IPV6 to replace IPV4? Give the VPS an IPV6 address. (visibility problems are its problems)

  5. Re:What the story doesn't say on Google Nexus 4 Prototype Lost In a Bar · · Score: 2

    A client (we'll call him Tim C. for anonymity) is said to have cursed foully the barman for having prevented a bad guy from stealing his new iPhone prototype. Tim will bid higher next time... There, fixed it.

  6. Re:Google Police on Google Nexus 4 Prototype Lost In a Bar · · Score: 1

    The only question I have is, when is it being released now, and did this event have any connection with the delay?

  7. Re:Patent disputes on Samsung Terminates LCD Contract With Apple · · Score: 1

    You remember EGA and prior too?

  8. Re:Disgusted with lameness on What To Do With Those First Generation Photo Frames? · · Score: 1

    It's just that it's so very lame to ask a question that is essentially "what can I do with an LCD panel?". If you don't know already, you probably will have no use for the answer.

    Wow, that's a pretty asshole answer. What do you do in your spare time, kick puppies and push old ladies in front of traffic?

    Yes, and I haven't reached my quota today, so look out!

    Seriously, though, this works.

    Probably the lens/cornea of your eye, and not the retina. Unlike visible and near IR, the lens in your eye doesn't work at 10.6um. Not that this in any way makes it safe. IWALE

    Wait... let me try that.

  17. WoW installs on OSX on Ask Slashdot: Securing a Windows Laptop, For the Windows Newbie? · · Score: 1

    So get the kid an iMac, and use that.

  18. Re:French fight for our freedom? on EU Authorities To Demand Reversal of Google Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    Now go away, before we taunt you a second time!

    Is it EU authorities, or the french?

  19. Yes, they should copy it. on Why Microsoft Shouldn't Copy Apple's iOS Walled Garden · · Score: 1

    To keep the Triffids in.

  20. With the EU going broke... on Will EU Regulations Effectively Ban High-End Video Cards? · · Score: 1

    You have to ask if the EU is a market for high end video cards any more?

    Please, someone with with mod points mod the parent funny, not insightful.

  22. Re:In the "About" section? on Ask Slashdot: Dedicating Code? · · Score: 1

    Forcing users to see any splash screen more than the first time is overkill. If you need to see it again, duplicate it in the about screen.

    That isn't how you spell desiccated, and the grandmother probably hasn't achieved that state yet...

  24. And of course... on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    We all use our real names, and pay with credit cards, when conducting transactions like this. Idiots deserve what they get.

  25. Re:Silliness on Lawsuit Challenges New York Sugary Drink Ban · · Score: 1

    Which makes what difference, really? HFCS is bad for you. Cane sugar is bad for you. Legislating against it isn't the answer.
