  1. Re:Lol wut? on Microsoft Finally Joins HTML 5 Standard Efforts · · Score: 1

    What's with this KHTML quirk of yours where you apparently can not bring yourself to just say "WebKit" like everyone else?

  2. Re:Themes... on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video · · Score: 1

    "New fad these days"?

    Is it 1995 again or something? Why didn't anybody tell me?

  3. Re:Google on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video · · Score: 1

    There are ad blockers for Chrome: http://www.adsweep.org/

  4. Re:I want a Mac beta of that on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video · · Score: 3, Informative
  5. Re:Have they fixed the tabs yet? on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video · · Score: 1

    Uh, pretty much all the widgets below the tab bar affect the current tab, and none of the others. Their placement makes perfect sense.

  6. Re:Does it install in the right place? on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video · · Score: 1

    Apparently he didn't actually do that, if it installs and runs, yes?

  7. Re:Still no Adblock though on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video · · Score: 2, Informative

    Except they have explicitly mentioned AdBlock as something they want to support through their in-development extension system.

  8. Re:Coming to Cydia on Apple Kills Google Voice Apps On the iPhone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The map is not the territory, and neither is the spec list the device.

  9. Re:Zelda? on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    Nothing of what you said refutes anything I said, so I'm not sure what your point is.

  10. Re:Zelda? on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    None of that changes the fact that saying it is "daunting" to get into Zelda is extremely silly. Every game stands on its own. Any connections between them are entirely superfluous.

  11. Re:Not for Archival Purposes! on Researchers Debut Barcode Replacement · · Score: 1

    Uh, QR codes are usually URLs?

  12. Re:'People' don't understand computers on Security Certificate Warnings Don't Work · · Score: 1

    Like others said, you shouldn't be designing a system that requires warnings.

    But I was referring more to the part about "most people still don't understand how viewing a website can affect their computer", really. Which is basically just saying "people are too dumb to understand that we can't write software that doesn't fuck up their computer".

  13. Re:'People' don't understand computers on Security Certificate Warnings Don't Work · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, it's kind of sad how regular people are expecting us programmers to have our shit together.

  14. Re:Decode this! on SHA-3 Second Round Candidates Released · · Score: 1

    MD5 isn't a hash function now?

  15. Full disclosure? on $2 Million NASA Power Beaming Challenge Heating Up · · Score: 1

    That "full disclosure" sure is a sneaky way to promote yourself in the article!

  16. I wonder on Music Game Genre On the Decline · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Gee, think that might have anything to do with flooding the market with sequel after sequel until nobody can keep track of them any more?

  17. Re:Meh on Hacking Hi-Def Graphics and Camerawork Into 4Kb · · Score: 1

    So basically you don't know a single thing about how to do something like this, but you're still going to shoot your mouth off about what isn't impressive about it?

    Here's a hint: DirectX gives you not a single goddamn bit of help in doing this. Not one.

  18. Re:finally! on Hacking Hi-Def Graphics and Camerawork Into 4Kb · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, don't. Then we'll have to listen to the "THEY JUST USED BUILT-IN DIRECTX FUNCTIONS FOR THIS THEY TOTALLY SUCK" crowd all over again. There's no lack of people around here who don't have a single clue what it takes to do something like that, but will yak on and on about how it is nothing impressive.

  19. Re:For those w/o Windows - video on Hacking Hi-Def Graphics and Camerawork Into 4Kb · · Score: 0

    Is it possible RGBA are using a built-in visualization library, possibly from WMP?

    No, that is a stupid idea.

  20. Re:For those w/o Windows - video on Hacking Hi-Def Graphics and Camerawork Into 4Kb · · Score: 1

    Yes, through a secret and hardware-specific way. Not exactly very useful for anybody else.

  21. Re:Cheating on Hacking Hi-Def Graphics and Camerawork Into 4Kb · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok, you go do it and show us all how easy it is.

  22. Re:Wrong. It is not translucent. on Is Battery-Free 2-Factor ID Secure? · · Score: 1

    Do you get a new one when you've used every part of it once?

  23. Re:Wrong. It is not translucent. on Is Battery-Free 2-Factor ID Secure? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the second time you use that window, it's no longer a one-time pad.

  24. Re:Defective by design on New Firefox Vulnerability Revealed · · Score: 1

    Try counting the instances for each OS, and perhaps you'll see.

  25. Re:Defective by design on New Firefox Vulnerability Revealed · · Score: 1

    Most of those could be argued to be hinting at the the Blu-ray-related DRM present in Vista and newer MacBooks.

    No, none of them are. There are other articles about that, but the ones I picked aren't.
