  1. Re:Very annoying change from Firefox 3.5b3 to b4 on Firefox Beta Scores 93 On Acid3 Test · · Score: 1

    Sorry I didn't RTFCL. I just upgraded and when it reloaded they were gone. Next time I will RTFCL before clicking yes to upgrade hehe. I don't need to be explained to what a beta is. Thanks for your concern though.

  2. Re:The real olden days on Old-School Coding Techniques You May Not Miss · · Score: 1

    Man you are old!

  3. Very annoying change from Firefox 3.5b3 to b4 on Firefox Beta Scores 93 On Acid3 Test · · Score: 1

    By default it changes the shutdown to clear all cookies. b3 I had clear history only, after the upgrade to b4 it wiped all the cookies out so I needed to log back in to everything. Very annoying, looking at the bug report for it I see some of the devs actually think this is fine to change those settings from b3 to b4 with no warning to users.

  4. The real olden days on Old-School Coding Techniques You May Not Miss · · Score: 1

    Back in my day we didn't even have computers we programmed on stone tablets with a chisel and hammer and we liked it!

  5. Re:Who needs to hunt down textbooks in Finland? on Copyright Lobby Targets "Pirate Bay For Books" · · Score: 1

    That's much different then the US where they charge $100+ for a textbook that you should be able to sell back to the university bookstore at the end of the semester but the scamming publishers revise the book each year making it so you can't sell it back because you have an outdated revision. Then the next student has to pay $100+ for the new revision the next semester.

  6. My happy place on Where's Your Coding Happy Place? · · Score: 1

    Is being left alone, headphones on, and good psy trance music playing. The beats and lack of vocals gets me focused. Whenever I have a lot of code I need to write that's what I do.

  7. he said manually on Swedish Tax Office Targets Webcam Strippers · · Score: 1

    "When we investigated the sites manually it worked better," he added. --------------- Unfortunately efficiency went out the window with only the most hormonal investigators able to handle more then 3 or 4 strip shows a day.

  8. haha talk about FUD on Google Earth Uncovers Secret UK Nuke Base · · Score: 1

    Now the terrorists will know the long/lat of the base and can launch accurate mortar attacks! How are these terrorists going to get close to this base to launch mortar attacks? I'm assuming the base is protected. I bet everyone in the area terrorists included knew the base was there by, oh I don't know, watching those tons of warships parked there coming in and out port?

  9. Too late on Cold-War Era Naval Vessels Up For Grabs · · Score: 1

    I called it. It's going in my backyard.

  10. No micromanaging on How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? · · Score: 1

    As a long time programmer I don't want somebody that doesn't have nearly as much development knowledge as me trying to lead me by the hand. Leave me alone and make sure the specs and requirements are good (something severally lacking usually) and I'll make my milestones.

  11. Re:Just make a float of him... on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 1

    No. Godzilla does not float. Everyone knows that.

  12. hmm on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 1

    Step 1. Build Terminators Step 2. Rename the internet Skynet Step 3. Robot apocalypse Step 4. ???? Step 5. Profit!

  13. Easy vote on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    Got there at 8, no line, no electronic machines, no chads. Our ballots you just complete arrows with a marker. Now I just hope this means my friends will stop emailing out every bit of anti-Obama propaganda they can get their hands on.

  14. Hmm upgraded itself off my computer on FireFox 3.1 Leaves IE in the Dust · · Score: 1

    I installed the beta, ran it, messed around a bit. Closed it and reopened it and it announced it had upgraded itself. I literally "upgraded" the 3.1 beta directory executable back to 3.0.3.

  15. Sounds fishy on Qantas Blames Wireless For Aircraft Incidents · · Score: 1

    I wireless mouse button click caused the plane to go off course and laptop caused another plane to suddenly drop 300ft. Sounds fishy to me, if not I'll never fly Qantas ever. How does 74 people get injured in a 300ft drop in altitude? Don't they require seat belts on Qantas flights?

  16. Well on A Wikipedia Conspiracy and the Wall Street Meltdown · · Score: 1

    The first thing I'd say on naked shorting is to put some damn clothes on. Jeez...

  17. DS Lite and R4 on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    Pass, my DS Lite and R4 card are perfect as is.

  18. Re:c# on C# In-Depth · · Score: 1

    Same here. I've been doing a large project over the last 14 months in C#. I really like it.

  19. Re:Buzz Lightyear on Man Attempts To Cross English Channel With Jet Wing · · Score: 5, Informative

    He'll probably make it if you've watched his videos. He flys all over in that wing. If something goes wrong he can throw it off and parachute down.

  20. Strange on Playstation 3 Video DRM Only Allows One Download · · Score: 1

    The same company that lets users share their DLC with 5 other machines (for example 1 person buys Rock Band DLC and it can be downloaded to 5 other PS3s) restricts videos to 1 download. Makes sense.

  21. I for one on "Water Bears" First Animals to Survive Trip Into Space Naked · · Score: 1

    Welcome our new naked, space surviving water bear overlords!

  22. Hard to turn it off on Pitfalls of Automated Bill Payment · · Score: 1

    I had DirecTV on autopay and last week I was switching banks, called them up and told them to turn off autopay because there would be no money in the account. No problem turned off they said. 4 days later they charged the bank account with no money in it anyways. They will refund the overdraft fee but I'm not going back to autopay with them for sure.

  23. gaming stoners on WCG Tournament Director Admits Drugs In E-Sports · · Score: 1

    A lot of gamers are stoners to begin with. It's not so much about performance enhancement as just being stoned like normal. I used to be that way and don't miss it. Now I know my singing performance on Rock Band exponentially increases per every shot or beer I consume as long as everybody else is keeping up with me they'll tell you the same! haha

  24. Re:No Way To Start A Communiy Like Killing It on Wizards of the Coast Declares Gleemax Site a Critical Failure · · Score: 1

    When hasn't WotC been making a mess of Magic Online? V2 was a mess for a long time, V2.5 was a bit better, V3 is back to the mess. They are the most incompetent developers ever. Still have an account but I haven't played it in a couple years. I played a bit of V3 beta, saw that hadn't improved themselves and just stayed away.

  25. Crashes Firefox 3 for me on Microsoft Releases Photosynth · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just messed around with it. Crashes Firefox regularly for me. Works for a bit and then crashes. I know I'm going to make some synths though pretty cool technology.
