  1. Why even bother on Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor · · Score: 0

    Its just going to get sold to every country in the world, meaning everyone has the same armour. Nobody will have an advantage.

  2. Re:Lets hope they open source it on Google to Buy Opera? · · Score: 0

    Since you no longer need to pay for an Opera key, you don't get banner ads. Parent = Obsolete, kthx.

  3. Re:Quantum bytes still decryptable? on First Quantum Byte Created · · Score: 0

    I dont see how that is possible. Everything I know about Quantum Theory tells me that observing or measuring them changes them. How can you measure its state if it keeps changing. IDK.

  4. Re:DRM too? on VW Goes USB · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't it say I'm sorry Dave?

    Good point though, they won't make a fuss out of it until more manufacturers are doing it with their cars though.

  5. Re:whatever happened to.... on Free Web-Based Exception Reporting · · Score: 0

    Well, the whole idea is that all exceptions get sent to the database so that the developer can get EXACT error messages from their applications without having to confuse the user.

    I don't know about you guys, but I've had problems with needing to get precise information from users and all I get is "Well, I got this shiny grey error message". When what you really needed to know was an error number, and where the fault occurred.

    Personally, I think its a great idea, as long as the users have the option to be able to disable the reporter. Otherwise you get into privacy issues and bandwidth stealing arguments.

    Although, if I were going to do this, I'd prefer it sent the data back to my own database. Where I'd have more control over it.

  7. Re:Fire Ze Missiles! on Floating Nuclear Power Station · · Score: 0

    That was Severnya(sp?), I can't find any real sources so I'll just post a google instead ;) http://www.google.com/search?hs=B4D&hl=en&lr=&c2co ff=1&client=opera&rls=en&q=goldeneye+severnya&btnG =Search

  8. Standards? on International Call for Open Standards · · Score: 0

    Isn't this basically just emphasing what groups have been trying to do for years?

    RFC's for example:
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1730.txt being the IMAP4 Protocol.

    That is of course assuming that Protocols can be defined as Standards.

    Or is this just people trying get get other systems such as the MSN Protocol in the open? Rather than people trying to work it out http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/index.php?

    Back on track:
    I always feel "cleaner" when I follow standards. Building websites with the proper usage of CSS for example.

    /me carries on RTFA.

    Could I get a definition of FUD? Read it a few times in this article. I assume its a acronym of something?

  13. Re:Am I dumb? on Microsoft's Bold Patent Move · · Score: 1

    The article contains the words "Microsoft" and "Patent" automatically making this story newsworthy :P

  14. Sources? on Drawing Minorities Into Gaming · · Score: 1
    A March study by the Kaiser Family Foundation revealed that black youths between 8 and 18 years old played video and computer games roughly 90 minutes a day -- almost 30 minutes more than white youths.
    So let me get this straight. White youths play video games for 60 minutes per day?

    I want to see their sources tbh. Smells like lies :o
  15. Junglist Massive? on Planet Discovered with a Massive Core · · Score: 1

    Massive, or mass? :F

    Cheers for the link, i'll have a look at this :O. Oooh also, another classic. Along the same kind of lines as Monkey Island is Sam and Max dosgamesarchive.com. Hilarious!

  17. Re:Quality Suggestions? on Gaming With a Headmouse? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Right on! Monkey Island 1 [worldofmi.com] and 2 [worldofmi.com] I'd suggest. Incredibly fun games. Wow, just mentioning these two makes me want to go and setup an old PC!
