  1. So Basically on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 1

    "... a Podcast creation utility (under consideration, may be cut from product), ... and other offerings (also under consideration, may be cut from product)."

    So basically, the Ultimate will be stripped down to a starter, except for the price tag & box?

    Well, screw the OS, I'm gonna buy it for the box.. looks like it's made of gold.
  2. Locating Victimes on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 1

    On wireless services, it's possible to locate the user of a wireless service.

    But I think there are people there with satellite mobile phones; Isn't it possible to locate the caller's position using GPS or something similar?

    That would give the exact geographical location, to which they can send aids to.

  3. Firefox Solution (Linux, Mac & Win) on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 1

    My bank's online system demands using IE; Although I sent a couple of emails clarifying the bugs in IE & how insecure it is, they kept their stupid standards.

    I downloaded FireFox's extension, User Agent Switcher, changed the browser's agent to IE 6 - WinXP and everything worked out fine.

    I hope that helps.

    Open your eyes!
    Using wireless communications will enhance aiding those in need.

    If someone was found stuck under a house, they could communicate with aid centers to send help.

    Don't shout out and bash your keyboard mindlessly man.

  5. Unsecure Security on PDA Security, the Next Big Hurdle for IT? · · Score: 2, Funny
    From the article ::
    • The NSA PDA phone will provide secure voice and data communications, including e-mail, web access, file viewing and access to the government secure network.
    But wouldn't those still fall for the regulations of the FCC?! The wireless tracking, VoIP tapping and backdoring networks

    If those PDA's are for gov. use only, that still doesn't prevent gov. agencies from spying on each other! or even prevents black-hats from accessing gov. networks then PDA's

    Are you sure it's the VB code? not the "Long Left-Hand Mousing Sessions"??? (assuming you're right-handed) ;p

    Take it easy on yourself, and you'll eventually make it through.

  7. Profit & Health on Urine Powered Battery Developed · · Score: 1

    Profit :: So, now the goverment will build its own battery factory and use "OUR" urine to build batteries?! Ok poeple, here's the thing, you either cancel taxes or give us a share of that .. errm .. profit!
    Obligatory /.
    1) Piss
    2) ???
    3) Profit!!!

    Health :: Dr. Ki Bang Lee, lead researcher, sees a big market for the battery. He argues that it could easily be integrated into biochip systems for "healthcare diagnostic applications"

    Uhh, so a someone's faulty heart will be powered by someone else's pee? and that's a healthy approach?

  8. Re:Then I have some REALLY bad news for these guys on Recordable Media a Bigger Threat Than Filesharing? · · Score: 1

    FYI :: Recordable media isn't interchangable with external storage media. External storage media (harddisks, thumb drives...etc) are fragile and can easily get corrupted.

    What if you wanna give someone a file or so, you need a laptop or a pc to copy files over.

    Recordable media can be shared, while your external storage usually wouldn't, since it may contain personal files.

    See my point?

    I use both and keep everyone happy ^_^

  9. RIAA Quote on Recordable Media a Bigger Threat Than Filesharing? · · Score: 1

    "Anything we don't have total control over is a threat to our business model" - RIAA

    I wish all the RIAA employees lose their bladder control, then their bladders will cause a threat, and eventually will shoot themselves, in the bladder.

    -> To RIAA employee with lost bladder :: Would you like a recordable media instead of that lost bladder? I suggest a rewritable media...

    Upgraded to FireFox that is ;)
  11. Re:CSS now also usable in IE! on 10 Best Resources for CSS · · Score: 1

    Ah, I've read the text wrongly, my apologies.

    Internet Explorer 5 for the Mac was the first web browser with reasonably complete support for CSS 1.0.

    I don't know about Mac, but I kow for sure that IE 5+ (windows version) had poorly implemented CSS. Some of the attributes weren't implemented while others were poorly done.

    P.S. :: I also doubt that IE 7 will fix those issues and follow the W3 path, rumors are already circuling the web.
  12. Re:CSS now also usable in IE! on 10 Best Resources for CSS · · Score: 1

    If you're suggesting that IE is "good" at CSS rendering, by any means, you should be shot in the head.

    All IE had (and still maintains) is a CSS render engine that doesn't comply to W3.org specs! Microsoft, as usual, defined its own standrads and forced many poor web developers to learn it and use it.

    I don't think that IE was the first browser to implement CSS, but rather Netscape. IE was widely used because it was shuved into the windows' .. uhh .. you get the point.

  15. NTFS, ReiserFS & ext3 on Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager · · Score: 1

    It's well known to everyone that Microsoft introduced the FAT family of partion tables & structure & it made its documents available for everyone interested in implementing it.

    What confuses me is that even though Microsoft claims helping the OpenSource Software (OSS) community, it kept its NTFS blueprints hidden! Does Microsoft fear the fact that if it was made available for public use, the OSS community will write a compatible driver for Linux, causing many people to migrate to Linux instead of Windows?

    How come Microsoft never introduced the ability to read non-microsoft paritions, like ext2, ext3 & reiserfs? Although that would add-up to Windows' +ve's ! Since many people work on a dual-boot machine because of applications. It would make sense to be able a non-microsoft partition in Windows to render a movie or whatever, instead of replicating data over partitions!
