  1. CNN really nailed this story. on Largest-Known Planet Befuddles Scientists · · Score: 1

    Good job checking your facts CNN. They obviously spoke with several astronomy experts before publishing this article. "New exoplanet 20 times Earth's size" And here's a little taste of the win and awesomeness contained within: "PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Scientists have discovered the universe's largest known planet, a giant ball made of mostly hydrogen that is 20 times larger than Earth and circling a star 1,400 light-years away." http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/space/08/09/exoplanet .discovery.ap/index.html

    FINALLY!!! I'm a web developer, and I cant tell you how long this has been driving me nuts.

  3. Confirmed on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 5, Informative

    According to MSNBC, USGS has just confirmed a 4.2 magnitude tremor at 10:30 am local time Monday.

  4. Re:ruined? on Third Party Code Review? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why, so the holes in the code can be found and exploited indefinately? Closed source is proven to be far more secure in the real world than source that has been picked through by numerous people. If they were truely worried about the security of the code, they should keep it behind lock and key.

  5. Congratulations, Microsoft! on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta · · Score: 0
    Microsoft has finally gotten it right!
    • They have perfected tabbed browsing beyond that of Firefox's wildest dreams.
    • Thier RSS implementation is perfect. You can add an RSS feed with the same button as the one in Firefox; furthermore, subsequent RSS reading is much easier than in the buggy, insecure opensource browser.
    • Finally, Microsoft seems to have moved forward in leaps and bounds in their standards compliance. Internet Explorer 7 renders pages that were once buggy in beautiful color using standards compliant html and css. This is by far the best browser I have ever used.
    I'm deleting Firefox as I type this. I'm sold.

    Oh god!!!! Anything but a WAGE HIKE!!!! God forbid I start getting paid what I'm worth!

  8. Question.... on Cable Internet Service Not Common Carrier · · Score: 0

    First off, I think this a horrible decision. Soon enough, telecom vs cable wont mean anything at all. Everything will be IP anyway.

    So my question is...

    What is to keep the Bells from claiming the same status? Could they do so based on the fact that they offer DSL? Would they need to also offer TV over IP? This could be bad for smaller phone companies as well as smaller ISPs if this is the case.

  20. Yeah whatever on New California Law Bans Anonymous Media File Sharing · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they're going to bother tracking you down to fine you for not posting your email. It would be just as easy for them to track you down and fine you for sharing the files in the first place.
