  3. Aero look for old Microsoft apps on Engineers Tell How Feedback Shaped Windows 7 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This was something I noticed when Vista came out...

    To make application I have written have the Vista Aero look I had to recompile. But I noticed that my old version of Microsoft Excel (2003) has the new look. So there must be some code in in Vista that handles Microsoft projects nicer. Which doesn't seem fair.

    Cool for small computers (iPod touch, iPhone, cell phone, netbooks) that don't have GPUs.

    I didn't know about L4 and L5 so looked it up:

    I think any satellite requires some fuel for thrusters to correct the orbit.

  12. jQuery, dojo, prototype, ExtJS, ... oh my on Learning Ext JS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Too many JS toolkits!
    Will it ever settle down?

    Why?

  14. Re:try it! on Interview With Jeremy Howard of FastMail.fm · · Score: 1

    I don't really think that the servers being own by an Australian company would give you any protection if a US court demanded access. Say you were an Australian person in the US and a US warrant was issued for your arrest ... um you'd be arrested.

    It would be cool if one side was e-ink and the other was regular (LCD?).

  20. Re:MIT Gaydar should be Facebook app on MIT Project "Gaydar" Shakes Privacy Assumptions · · Score: 1

    Well, it sounds like it just adds up the number of gay Facebook friends you have. You could do that.

  23. older than that on Microsoft Says No TCP/IP Patches For XP · · Score: 1

    I haven't bothered to check... but didn't Microsoft just use BSD-licensed TCP/IP stack like everyone else? If they did that would make the code much older than 15 years. Which is fine. Old code doesn't imply bad.
