  1. Re:Is XML a data format for documents? on The First E-President · · Score: 1

    Now now, there's nothing wrong with using a gzipped xml for a document.

    Now, there's lots of things wrong with using a vanilla xml fule...

  2. Re:I'm not Microsoft lover, but on Attack Code Found For Recent Windows Bug · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It would, but for their intentional denial of updates to "illegitimate" installations.

    1. You don't get modded up by asking.
    2. You don't get karma for funny mods*.
    3. You don't get karma for anonymous posts.

    * You do get karma for the negative mods people knock you down with though!

  5. Re:mozilla minefield? on Minefield Shows the (Really) Fast Future of Firefox · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's a codename for the Firefox development branch. Nothing will ever be released with that name, it's a moving target that gets branched out to Firefox for release.

    Reading FTW!

  6. Re:Slashvertisement on Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All · · Score: 4, Informative

    This challenge has been up on their page for months. They clearly had several posted goals, unlikely ones, and that if any of them were completed during Bush's term then they would give away copies of their software to celebrate.

    Replace that whole mess with "We said we would do this if X happened. X happened, so here's your free copy!" and I fail to see how this is a troll or classical advertisement.

  7. Re:Are there useful numbers on this? on Plasma Rocket Successful Full Power Test · · Score: 1

    Why is this funny? Informative I would think.

  8. Re:Fusion adaptation? on Plasma Rocket Successful Full Power Test · · Score: 1

    Even indirect help. Those higher efficiency containment fields would end up making fusion research cheaper to perform, correct?

    This touchscreen bullshit needs to stop.

    Really. Prompt for one thing at a time (but let someone go forward/back, like with a scroller).

    Two big buttons. Several inches separating them. MECHANICAL FUCKING BUTTONS.

    You push one, a big light comes on over it. You push the other, it switches. The name of the person is displayed near the switch.

    If you can't figure out which one is the one... I just can't imagine someone being so dense as to not get that.

    Do you know if Crossover will run on a PS3? It's got a PPC core...

  14. Re:Whoa on DRM-Free Classic Games Store Opens To Public · · Score: 1

    Yes, because these are selling for the "new" price.

    Read. The games are all 5.99.

    Nothing at all. Indeed, that tag should not be present... but enough people have put it on there to make it stick?

  16. Re:FYI on Google Founders Buy Fighter Jet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, true, all the fun stuff comes out.

    But it isn't very hard to pack it full of fuel and other things-that-go-foosh.

    I'm sure the folks at google could wire a laptop inside to guide the thing to the Redmond campus.

    I think you see where I'm going with this :D

    I would be HAPPY to have that chance. Nobody around here gives out that information.

    I would also be happy to have metered service. I would pay for what I use.

    Right. So I'm going to put up the server a full day in advance, except nobody can look at it.

    Then I'll tell everyone I did that.

    It says the torrents are currently seeding.

    What's the point of seeding when there are no leeches?

    Now, maybe they are mirroring the files to hosts that will seed when the torrents open up... but as written it makes no sense to me.
