  1. Re:This is news for nerds... on Deal Reportedly Reached In Writers' Strike · · Score: 1

    >Personally I'd prefer simple "and the winner is"

    That's a lot more than I want. I'd prefer if they posted the list of winners on some notice board in some sleepy village in the middle of nowhere.

    Does the Oscar event serve a useful purpose?

    >What happens with your proposition when only one party leaves feedback?

    Ebay waits for a period of time - 30 days - and then withdraws the feedback option, adds a comment that they didn't bother and publishes yours.

    Sounds a bit symbiotic to me.

    But, where can KDE go if Nokia shifts the development from Qt?

  11. Re:First thoughts on W3C Publishes First Public Working Draft of HTML 5 · · Score: 1

    I want external links to open in a new tab and internal links to use the same tab. Currently I have to remember to press with the mouse click (I use Opera).

    i.e. the links in a /. summary or within the comments should open in a new tab.

  13. Re:Keyword: Unencrypted on Unencrypted Lost Tape Affects 230 Retailers · · Score: 1

    I assume each installation of Oracle will have its own encryption method. It would be silly if I could transfer the encrypted data from system A into system B.

    I am an Oracle ignoramus.

    After two CD's containing 15 million bits of info went missing, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7104115.stm/ I had a drink with a couple of my friends and had a chat about the loss.

    They didn't know about the password protection, but they knew the data wasn't encrypted.

  15. I don't get it on World of Warcraft Gold Limit Reached, It's 2^31 · · Score: 5, Funny

    What is the War of Worldcraft thing? I've seen it mentioned here a few times, but nobody actually explains what it does.

    Is it a book?

    >but neither major browser implements the full spec yet.

    Excuse me, are there only two major browsers? So far today I've used Safari and Opera on an eMac and Konqueror, Firefox and Opera on Kubuntu. I did play with Lynx as well, but I stopped as I had to go outside.

    I don't know how well Safari, Opera (Max|Linux|Windows), Konqueror or Firefox support SVG.

    I'm still using MS Windows 2000 on one box for Quark Xpress and Photoshop, it just work. However I use Kubuntu every day on my main PC, one day I'll find the time to use Scribus and try GIMP again, then I can move away 100& from MS.

    Win 2K maybe old, but it still works fine, I don't think it has any flash transparencies or other silly bling, it just does what I need it to do.
