  1. They changed the d/l mgr kbd shortcut on Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 1, Insightful
    I know, bitch bitch bitch. But, I've had it for all of four minutes and I discovered something I don't like: they changed the keyboard shortcut for the download manager to Ctrl-Y. It use to be Ctrl-E which was easily done one-handed.

    Now I have to stretch or use two hands. Time to start looking for the change I need to make...

  2. Re:because.... on Why Learning Assembly Language Is Still Good · · Score: 0

    Dude, get the fuck outta my head. No, seriously, I'm kreepin' me out. Get outta there.

  3. Insightful? You've got to be kidding! on Saudi Webmaster Acquitted of Terrorism Charges · · Score: 1

    The jury is not there to use their conscience and decide "does the law make sense!" Nor are they there to decide if a law is "legal or not." That's absurd. They are there to hear evidence, both for and against, and give a verdict based on that evidence as to the guilt or non-guilt of the accused. Sheesh.

  4. Re:that's all well and good... on BBN Announces Functional Quantum Encrypted Network · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the piece of the puzzle you are missing is the fact that in quantum cryptography, a single photon does not represent a single piece of information (or bit). It actually contains many pieces of measurable data, such as the level of polarization.

    You can't simply read it (and therefore destroy it) and then send a duplicate to the destination since you would have to manufacture a photon with all of the same properties of the original.
