  1. Force earthquakes in California to reduce stress on Oklahoma's Earthquakes Linked To Fracking · · Score: 1

    If it is possible to cause an earthquake, California is waiting for a big one. The stress has been mounting for a long time. If we cannot make several smaller earthquakes, at least make it on our schedule.

  2. Next step - produce "free" fresh water on Self-Sustaining Solar Reactor Creates Clean Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    If this were true, you could ignite the hydrogen and produce fresh water and power.

  3. GIT and branches can easily handle it on Red Hat Stops Shipping Kernel Changes as Patches · · Score: 1

    It is like we are back in the last century. GIT and branches can easily handle parallel changes from different vendors. Sometimes merges can be tricky, but it is not different if normal patches. So the only benefit for RedHat is that they now generate a much simpler package and that it is.

  4. Re:Oracle is Evil, C# Java on Apache Declares War On Oracle Over Java · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mono violates the same patents as Android and Harmony. Microsoft bought its licence from SUN, but it does not cover Mono. Unless Microsoft makes Mono its own project, it is no better than anything else. And I thought "rewriting Hudson in C is a stupid idea". Now it makes sense...

  5. Simple solution: update the plan automatically on FCC Will Tackle Cell Phone 'Bill Shock' · · Score: 1

    Why not to require an automatic update to the next plan level if you go over - the shock is less and many people will just forget to move the plan back, so the telcos will be happy too?

  6. The biggest tam is Three Gorges Dam on Beaver Dam Visible From Space · · Score: 2, Informative
  7. I have fast Comcast internet on Comcast Cheating On Bandwidth Testing? · · Score: 1

    I regularly download Firefox and Thunderbird updates with speeds around 1.4MB per second. It is about 12Mbps. So not just test sites are fast. - Alexey.

  8. Cisco just wants to make money to traffic shaping on Hardware Firms Go Against Crowd on Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    They will not be able to sell new products that would implement these preferential traffic controls. The real reason is that law will be bad for them, because they want to be in that market (and many other companies). So do we want to have "free incoming calls" to be a law or believe that the market will settle itself on something reasonable. With the way the corporations are pushing against internet neutrality, I think we need that law.

  9. Re:One Question & A Short Rant on 2006 ACM Programming Contest Complete · · Score: 1

    I studied in Saint Petersburg State University and it was tough. Maybe because of our rivalry with MGU we never thought high about it. You just proved us right.

  10. Re:I Win on Bjarne Stroustrup Previews C++0x · · Score: 1

    ... and while explaining why "auto" variables are much easier to use. Right on a spot!

  11. They forgot OpenExchange on Exchange Alternatives Round-up · · Score: 1
  12. With Google pages do not have to have all words on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With Google for a page to be found, other pages that reference the page may contain the requested words, but not the returned page itself.

  13. Google Web Accelerator can be the answer. on Dissidents Seeking Anonymous Web Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Just found out that GWA site is blocked by WebSence as a proxy avoidance support site. Hmmm.. Now I see a reason to keep GWA even though it often crashes nightly Firefox....

  14. Proximition blocks this vulnerability. on New Vulnerability Affects All Browsers · · Score: 1

    I tried to see if my FF 1.0 is affected and it worked fine, but then I remembered that I have Proximition proxy set up to filer everything I do not need on a web site. It also filters popup scripts thus blocking the exploit.
