  1. Re:Oh dear, slashdotted. on Virgin Galactic Shows the Finished WhiteKnight Two · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They hot-linked to Virgin's "pressftp". I'm thinking Virgin wasn't expecting that to be hit with so much traffic.

  2. I'm coming out on JavaScript: The Good Parts · · Score: 1

    I love JavaScript :)

    Am I a crazy mad man?

  3. Re:Stupid question on Practical Django Projects · · Score: 4, Informative

    A web framework written in Python. And it's better than Rails.

  4. Mac games on Blizzard-Activision Merger Official · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Blizzard have always been good at supporting the Mac natively (Unlike EA). Activision have been quite the opposite.

    Does this mean we can expect more or less Mac titles?

  5. Re:Colour of bits in the packet on Spit Will Be Worse Than Spam · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You pay to receive calls?

  6. Re:ANOTHER Solar System?!? on Scientists Find Solar System Like Ours · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually I think the correct term is "planetary system". A star system would be a group of stars that orbit each other.

  7. Re:Yes, finally! Get rid of IE6 on Microsoft to Force IE7 Update on February 12th · · Score: 1

    All of them (apart from NS4), including IE4 I think. In IE they default to being a submit button, all other browsers default them to being a generic button, so make sure you set the "type" attribute. They're good if you want to add nice icons to form buttons.

  8. Re:Yes, finally! Get rid of IE6 on Microsoft to Force IE7 Update on February 12th · · Score: 1

    I've had one client complain last year that the site didn't work in their browser, which turned out to be Netscape 4.7. I foolishly used the tag which is not supported by Netscape 4.7.

    There will always be one weirdo still using antique software.

  9. Re:Major Labels? on Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    I think it's only a recommended download because IE and Safari will play the MP3 in the browser rather than download it. The app probably just makes it easier for non-technical people to download the file.

  10. Re:Way back when.... on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    "Science" has know the world is spherical for at least 1000 years.

  11. Almost good enough for me. on Apple iPhone Dissected · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If this had 3G, GPS and was open to third party development then I would certainly buy one. Maybe version 2 will have those features.

  12. Mac version? on StarCraft, Nothing But StarCraft · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Blizzard are usually pretty good at supporting Mac. Will there be a Mac OS X version of Starcraft II, and if so will it be released at the same time as the Windows version?

  13. Re:Finally! on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's already been announced as Gutsy Gibbon.

  14. Re:I started to on Apple, Opera, and Mozilla Push For HTML5 · · Score: 1

    Blink is already supported by the W3C in CSS:

    text-decoration: blink;

  15. Supercharged! on The Wii's Brain Exposed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And my PC is just a supercharged 386. So what?

  16. display: table-cell on Internet Explorer 7 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    It still does not support this CSS propery. Which in my opinion would be extreamly useful for designing layouts.

    Although it does now allow position: fixed; and to specify, left: 10%; right: 10%; top: 10%; bottom: 10%; to make things centered easily.

  17. CSS? on .Mobi Could Spur Wireless Web · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't this what the "handheld" CSS media type is for?

  18. Re:An old funny disclaimer from a decade ago or so on New Disclaimer for the Internet · · Score: 1

    Paragraphs suck!

  19. Re:Oh no. on Nintendo Revolution Renamed 'Wii' · · Score: 1

    Xbox was originally only going to be a code name, but it was popular and everyone knew it so Microsoft kept it on. I think Nintendo really need to consider doing the same with Revolution.

    /me walks into Game and asks "Can I have a Wii, please"

  20. Re:so are they humans or are they monkeys? on Missing Link Found Between Human Ancestors · · Score: 1
    So, I get that these are "hominids", but does that mean they are apes or humans?


    Humans are apes.

    But monkeys are not apes, and the fossils are not monkeys.
  21. Ebay? on Ask.Com's New Look Competes Well With Google · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is ebay always the first result when using ask.com ?

  22. Re:Why a LiveCD? on Kororaa Releases XGL LiveCD · · Score: 1

    I was looking for something like this the other day. Mandriva have a product called GlobeTrotter which is exactly this, there is also Puppy Linux which is very small and will easily fit on a usb flash drive.

    I'm too lazy to find links, so you'll have to use google.

  23. Bigger pic on New "Hairy Lobster" Crustacean Discovered and Classified · · Score: 4, Informative

    There's a bigger pic on bbc, reminds me of the big hug from the soup adverts.

  24. Re:Standalone apps on XULRunner Developer Preview Release Available · · Score: 1

    I forget where I read this (somewhere on mozilla.org), but I think firefox will be using xulrunner at around firefox 3.0 sometime in 2007.

  25. Re:Shame under UK law to be introduced soon .... on LCD TopGun Hands On Review · · Score: 1

    They'll likely just make it bright green or something equally ugly and childish looking.
