  1. How about the original Mickey Mouse cartoon? on Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe without that incentive, Disney will stop lobbying for copyright extensions? That way we can actually make use of all this material again.

  2. Re:innovation? on Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday · · Score: 4, Informative

    Konqueror comes with AdBlock built-in, so that's an instant win in my book. It's fast, integrates with my desktop (unlike Firefox), and even has a few extensions of its own.

    And then the Linux users can utilise that extra processing power for more SETI@Home stuff. Awesome!

  4. Re:Google on Google or Wikipedia - Which is Your First Stop? · · Score: 1

    How about "C-K foo bar"? Just have Wikipedia as the default search engine and bam.

    Yeah, but it will still be 1080p.

  6. Re:first its not stealing post on Boy Scouts Introduce Merit Badge For Not Pirating · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sorry, but the legal law of the land (17 USC in this case) doesn't mention the word "steal" or "theft" or any other similar word in the context of copyright infringement. Thanks for playing the Legalese v. Colloquialisms Game; you lost.

    One is a deliberate lie, and the other has set us back hundreds of years.

    Yeah, I completely see how perjury is far more severe than shitting on the US Constitution on a daily basis while in the federal government.

    Dude, he has a /. account; you can't get more techy than that. ;p

    If YouTube removed duplicates, then it would becomes the next low-quality scene. :P

    Make that 10 year old standards since that was about the last time IE had any significant renderring engine updates other than IE7 (finally).

  11. Re:What happened? on IE7 Released and Available for Download · · Score: 1

    I know this is a bit of an anecdote, but I emailed my friends about Flash 9 for Linux rather than IE7 since it was more relevant. Tech support is much more fun when your family and friends use Linux, Macs, BSD, and other Unix-like operating systems.

    I think that KPDF works with hyperlinks. You should at least check it out to see.

  13. Re:Browsers are just too complex on IE7 Vulnerability Discovered · · Score: 1

    Phoenix was supposed to be a lite version of Mozilla. I liked Firebird, but that only lasted a couple point-releases. Firefox 0.8 is where the bloat started coming in. :(

  14. Re:For everything you want to buy... on Visa Cuts Off AllOfMp3.com · · Score: 1

    Yeah, go steal them from stores and stuff; less legal issues to worry about if you get caught.

    Does the Blackberry do RSS? If so, just use the RSS feed.

    Click the "See Context" link to read the thread. Problem solved.

    Lately I've been getting at least 1 unfair flamebait/troll mod every time I M2, so I'm doing my part by marking them as such.

    Doesn't work in WINE at the moment for some reason. I'm sure this'll be fixed in 0.9.24 or something.

    You could reinstall the bootloader after installing Windows.

    I tend to not dual boot to avoid complications such as these. Maybe Grub will be able to substitute the entirety of the Windows bootloader?
