  1. Re:Good... on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 1

    IE's renderring engine hasn't been updated in 9 fucking years. It's about goddamn time they do something about that.

  2. Re:don't know about the name "Etch" though on Debian to Run on AMD64 · · Score: 1

    Remember Etch the Etch-a-Sketch from Toy Story? Exactly. Debian releases are named after Toy Story characters.

  3. Re:Sweet Mother of Potatoes! on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 1

    Dude, it takes about 3 people to do what you're saying. Residential means families most of the time, and families share a connection.

  4. Re:Small states on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    The small states don't know what's best for the large states, and if they get just as much say in large state affairs as small state affairs, how the fuck is that fair?

  5. Re:No on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    When the US Constitution was passed, its unique blend of government ideals was quite new. It can be best described as a representative democracy; the people choose who to trust and represent them in governmental affairs.

  6. Re:Prediction on CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They're worried about how you'd have to pay your lawyer by the hour, and the MPAA could afford to drag the case on and on while you go into debt paying your lawyer with little or no hope of getting that money back from the MPAA.

  7. Re:Why are consumers surprised? on Why YouTube Needs the Rights to Your Video · · Score: 1

    I think he's referring to the content that uploaders don't have the copyrights for.

  8. Re:Online mp3 player on You OS Web Based Operating System · · Score: 1

    An online MP3 player would obviously stream directly from your computer. JavaScript is all client-side, so no worries there.

  9. Re:Porn? on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 1

    You need to write a search plugin for it. Look at the Google one (/usr/share/firefox/searchplugins/google.src) and edit it. If you want a quick search version, right click the search box and create a quick search from it.

  10. Re:I wonder on Microsoft Confirms New Music Player · · Score: 1

    A lot of videogames use Vorbis for audio nowadays. I don't see why anyone selling a commercial product would want to pay unnecessary patent licensing fees when they could use open standards like Vorbis, Speex, PNG, etc.

  11. Re:My least favorite "feature" on Favorite KDE Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Just add the kde debtag and you've found all the KDE programs available (on Debian and derivatives at least). Most KDE applications mention KDE in some way in the description, so searching for KDE is good enough most of the time as well.

  12. Re:The future predicted. on NPR Looks to Technological Singularity · · Score: 1

    Man, I loved that book. My only complaint would have to be that if he's right, I don't look forward to the day where even the most exotic fetishes aren't considered fetishes anymore. :(

  13. Re:All intelligence is genuine, not artificial. on NPR Looks to Technological Singularity · · Score: 1

    Dude, calm down. Artificial means that it was made by humans and not by nature.

    Today's news is already old - and this is just the beginning.

    That's only because today's news is a dupe; of course it's old.
  15. Re:W3C on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 1

    If they were using semantic and valid XHTML/CSS, they'd save terabytes of bandwidth a week, believe me. Their current mess of table soup is very wasteful.

  16. Re:Did I miss something? on Why Popular Anti-Virus Apps 'Don't Work' · · Score: 1
    At the rate things are going, article writers won't even bother with the body of the story any more, it will just be a title and ads.
    Hmm, sounds like digg.
  17. Re:No S**t on Why Popular Anti-Virus Apps 'Don't Work' · · Score: 1

    One of the big differences between subscriptions to home AV and enterprise AV is the cost and the amount of subscriptions/licenses you get. Enterprises can't just buy the home edition because it would get expensive (bulk licensing) and probably wouldn't be fit for easy deployment across several computers with possibly different setups.

  18. Re:Black Viper's list on What Processes are Necessary for Windows XP? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Exactly. Just get OpenWrt or something simpler like DD-WRT; enable sshd; and there you go. You can log in to your router via SSH (root@192.168.1.1 probably, use the administrative password), and from there you can run iptables and all its related programs for network management. Of course, if you went with a Cisco router, you'd be able to do that much more easily, but those are kinda, well, expensive for home use...

    Duh! Anything with the word "pod" is automatically cool.

    With Kubuntu, the shortcuts appear to be Ctrl+Shift+L to split Left/Right, Ctrl+Shift+T to split Top/Bottom, and Ctrl+Shift+R to close current view (no idea why they chose that).
