  5. This is strange.... on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    I ran and re-ran the video on the web site in the faint hope that I will see the plane hit the building. Since the video is of poor quality the only thing I could make out was something definitley hitting the building. HOWEVER, if it is a plane (which I believe it is) it sure looks like one which is running on the ground and not hitting from the air.
    Anyone has any ideas about this?

  8. Vim mean... on Vim 7 Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    Vertigo In Madness
    I still have not understood why people waste their time developing and using such pieces of software where you have to bang your head against the screen to make the editor work :)
    Like someone said: Keep It Simple Stupid
    Maybe the developer(s) of Vim should also know this

  9. Humtpy Dvorak on IE The Great Microsoft Blunder? · · Score: 1

    This just in from credible sources:

    Dvorak Dvorak sat on a wall,
    Dvorak Dvorak had a great fall,
    All the sane men in IT,
    Could not put Dvorak together again

  10. I think it's... on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 1

    .. very impressive.
    Looks like M$ is up for changing the way we interact with computers (new UI for Office 12 is one example).
    Another good thing is that they seem to be putting a whole lot effort into security

  11. This is what everyone should do.... on Yahoo! Bans "Allah" in Screen Names · · Score: 1

    Who is better in speech than one who calls (people) to Allah, acts righteously, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"? Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and you was hatred become as he were your friend and intimate! And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint - none but persons of the greatest good fortune. And if (at any time) an incitement to discord is made towards you by the Evil One, seek refuge in Allah. He is the One Who hears and knows all things. (Quran 41:33-36)

    Grow up everyone.....

    3)Look closely at the number which denotes the last day of the month

    This is a defintie read for anyone who needs to understand how programmer's (especially Open Source developers) work. Best Computer related history I have ever read !

  19. 1.0.7 Also vulnerable on Unpatched Firefox 1.5 Exploit Made Public · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I ran the proof of concept on my installation of 1.0.7 (WinXP SP2) and it crashed the next time I opened FF. Task Manager showed that FF was eating up the memory like crazy. I deleted the history.dat file (which was 10 MB in size!!!!!!!) and sanity returned instantly :)

  20. The only change... on Firefox 1.5 RC2 Available · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...is that it does not say FireFox 1.5 Beta 2 in the title bar any more. Any other changes?

  21. GNUStep.........naaaa! on GORM 1.0 Release to Take on GNOME/KDE? · · Score: 1

    Frankly speaking I do not think GNUStep is something which an everyday user can use. A geek maybe, but not an everyday user. KDE and GNOME are way ahead of GNUStep in terms of usability so I do nto think that there is any chance of 'obsolescence' there :)

  22. Autoupdate sucks! on Firefox 1.5 RC1 Released · · Score: 1
    Users running 1.5 beta should have already received notice via an automated update dialogue box
    No notifications for me :(

  24. Nothing happens on Beta 2 on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit · · Score: 1

    Simply shows the word Mozilla when the test web site is loaded in Beta 2. I guess they have already taken care of it in the Beta release

  25. I got off Linux IMs precisely for this reason on Linux Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    The following applies to either GAIM or KOPETE: No Video chat support No Audio Support(whatever there is,it is very flaky) Extremely poor UI design
