  1. Its simple on Daniel Lyons of Forbes Admits Being Snowed by SCO · · Score: 1

    Mainstream media - not experts.
    Its an information factory,designed to turn in profit. Their quality is superficial and overrated.

  2. Re:it's the law on End of Moore's Law in 10-15 years? · · Score: 1

    You haven't seen the bad parts of the internet.

  3. Re:The example they give is wrong on Attacking Multicore CPUs · · Score: 1

    Would you say this if the monoculture was OpenBSD?

  4. Re:The Flying Spaghetti Monster is my copilot on Creationists Silence Critics with DMCA · · Score: 1

    FSM reminds me or Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft books, though its just a joke.

  5. Re:religion on Creationists Silence Critics with DMCA · · Score: 1

    More importantly, the notion that humans are animals is counter-intuitive for most people.
    Its probably like some species think that other species are either food or non-food.
    "Animal" is associated with primitive,wild and predatory creatures with low intelligence,while in reality the class is very broad and diverse.Human biology(organs,DNA,etc) is irrefutable proof of humans belonging inside ape family.Evolution creates a very detailed picture of who our ancestors are,what from they have taken in the past and how we come to being.
    The notion of "superiority to animals" is product of human culture,i think its probably dates back when first tribes (of primitive humans) established themself as controlling agents over their territory(where less intelligent animals wouldn't have the skills to fight back).

  6. Re:Everything old is new again on Social Networks At A Crossroads · · Score: 1

    BBS are web 0.1alpha.
    They're as much as social network as random forum about linux.

  7. Re:100,000 pageviews on Google Quietly Closes AdSense API to Small Sites · · Score: 1, Interesting

    People who watch their privacy and block counters,don't install toolbars are making an intelligent choice, but they remove themself from statistics.It has some disadvantages on the
    scale of entire internet.
    See, people base popularity on the statistics,
    and having these statistics requires to users to give up some of the privacy.Examples:
    How many Linux users are there?>>
    Does our company needs to develop for them?
    Is this site really popular? >>Whats its pageviews in alexa?
    My statistics webcounter shows that absolute majority of customers are using windows XP with Internet Explorer.>>why should i support other browsers?

    If any of these queries are answered,the answer comes from statistics.Not from anything,else.Surveys,Polls and other methods which require participation aren't reliable enough for most people(as the results can be skewed by interested parties).
    Linux users,and people who use more secure browsers,are more concerned about these issues: the statistics are biased against them.

  8. Re:Note to world: computer programs don't evolve on Storm Worm Evolves To Use Tor · · Score: 1

    A program can be coded to rewrite its own code using random parameters with obfuscated junk code in between real content(often encrypted).

  9. Re:Oh! on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    In windows this can be used this way:
    echo some text>>log.file
    and it will add that line to the file.
    You can even add this for right-click action, by editing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
    to link to some batch file.Using multiple batch files,it easy to add unique remarks to thousands of texts.I'm sure it can be done in linux too.

  10. Re:the zen? on The Zen of Online Game Design · · Score: 1

    The Tao is "listen to the users" however its rarely followed.

  11. Online relationships are.. on Don't Dismiss Online Relationships As Fantasy · · Score: 1

    not real, but relationships in their own way.
    The level of abstraction is choice of the user:
    from text,to webcams, to virtual reality(not yet here).
    at some point it will be more feature-filled and engaging then real-life relationships.

    Or they could hire Ninjas.

  15. Good news. on Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 As Fastest Browser · · Score: 1

    i'm forced to use Firefox because of vital Extensions and rendering of some sites which can't work with Opera. I'll try this beta.
    I can't think of faster browser then Opera
    (text browsers don't count).Firefox slowdowns on flash,it slowdowns entire browser if one tab is loading something. Many image on one pages=Browser CPU usage spikes to 100% and stays until it loads them all.And that takes time.

  16. Re:Major embarassment on Australian Comedy Group Prods APEC Security · · Score: 1

    Its probably related on how much military power a country is projecting over the world.

    "profit hungry corporation myth"
    All corporation seek maximum profits while keeping reputation. Its their duty to be profitable. Its not a charity.

  21. What is stopping him on Scientist Must Pay to Read His Own Paper · · Score: 1

    He could start a blog describing his discovery/paper/theories. Publishing industry is a remnant of pre-internet information dissemination methods. I guess its conservative strain of thought in science which declared these methods untrustworthy.

  22. Re:So would a beowulf cluster of these.... on Self-Introspecting Robot Learns to Walk · · Score: 1

    Or a Beowulf Hive.

  23. Re:Why are you assuming people are going to work? on Financial Services Firms Simulate Flu Pandemic · · Score: 1

    If people we're so attached civilization wouldn't exist. Someone has to do the job, especially if its vital to society.

  24. How to develop on How Would You Refocus Linux Development? · · Score: 1

    1.Don't change the command line oriented/legacy architectures(.config /dev ) whatever. Power users need that.

    2.Develop an automatic,user-friendly GUI interfaces on top of that.

    3.Test the said interfaces with least computer savvy users, correct any problems,test again
    until its works out of the box.

    4.Each extra parameter,text file change, compile and installation of drivers brings user experience into discomfort zone.

    5.Make the computer work for the users, not users working for a computer to work.
    Steep learning curves and complex syntax limit
    usefulness, and it not justified by "power" user gains by studying the system. Rather its a system designed to be hard from the start.
    No compiling,debugging,configuration,reliance on user input.

    6.If done right the system would be better then Windows. Which has numerous flaws in its "user friendly design" like interface labyrinths.

  25. There 2 approaches on A Campaign to Block Firefox Users? · · Score: 1

    if the site lacks useful content it will end up in my adblock filters too, just for being an annoyance.
    If the site has enough useful content i'll change useragent.extra setting to whatever the server requires.However this site will never be in my bookmarks.
