  1. Re:Fake datas. on Cryptographic Tools To Keep You Hidden On Facebook · · Score: 0, Troll

    Good point.
    Or non-Caucasian names like, say, "Barack Obama".

  2. Hides the info from Facebook and their partners on Cryptographic Tools To Keep You Hidden On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Many people are saying... if you don't want it seen then don't post it. I don't mind my friends seeing my status (or whatever) but I don't want the Facebook Company or their partners (ie Microsoft) seeing my profile. Sounds like this plugin might solve that problem.

  3. Re:Fake datas. on Cryptographic Tools To Keep You Hidden On Facebook · · Score: 1

    You have to be more subtle with your fake info.
    I used all fake info and they didn't complain.
    Instead of saying you name is "Fuck Facebook" try "Joe Smith", etc.

  4. meal preferences on What the DHS Knows About You · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Do they flag:
    kosher = maybe friend
    halal = terrorist
    vegan = hippie scum

  6. Re:One obvious question on Ubuntu 9.04 On Kindle 2 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps by renaming them?

  7. Re:new malloc() on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the info.
    Seems like an improvement that would be very unlikely to have a downside.

  8. new malloc() on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Released · · Score: 1

    What's the new malloc() do?
    (Yes, I googled it.)

  9. Slashdot on Coders At Work · · Score: 1

    Do good coders read Slashdot during company time?
    (Like me and you)

  10. green stuff on Has the Rate of Technical Progress Slowed? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Finally running out of (cheap) oil might cause some innovations.

  11. Re:wrong solution on Apple Kicks HDD Marketing Debate Into High Gear · · Score: 1

    I think all OSes should have an option to report both GB and GiB.

  12. What about memory on Apple Kicks HDD Marketing Debate Into High Gear · · Score: 1

    When you buy 1 meg of memory I guess it should be called 1 MiB of memory.
    I am fine with that.

  13. rooftops on Solar Roadways Get DoT Funding · · Score: 1

    Yeah, roads seem like a really hostile environment for solar. Lets fill up the rooftops first.

  14. Re:Permanent Deletion? Maybe? on After Canadian Prodding, Facebook To Change Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    I would like a way to clear all history from their database. Like the "Clear Now" button in Firefox.

  15. Re:Study Assignment on Dirty Coding Tricks To Make a Deadline · · Score: 1

    A good tip. Just output random stuff. Probably how internet dating sites do it anyhow.

  16. Re:Word for the wise on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    That almost explains why Adobe Premiere says its "low in memory" when its only at 1G on my 4G box according to task manager.

    Only 3.41G (of the 4G) can be used. Windows takes half (1.7G) leaving Premiere and the other apps do duke it out for the remaining 1.7G.

  17. KDE on Nokia Unveils Its First Netbook · · Score: 1, Funny

    Weird that is uses Windows since they bought KDE.

  18. council on Poor Design Choices In the Star Wars Universe · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The council chamber where they debate laws seemed crazy to me. Everyone is floating in their own flying saucer. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Regular tables with chairs make more sense. More compact and you have a chance to interact with the other representatives.

  19. Re:Incompetent testing, stupid article on Amazon, MS, Google Clouds Flop In Stress Tests · · Score: 1

    Yeah, this info might be useful for Australians.
    It suggests there should be some (more) cloud servers in Oz.

  20. Re:Cloud Computing? Why? on Amazon, MS, Google Clouds Flop In Stress Tests · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't drink enough beer.

  21. Instant SETI on Smarter Clients Via ReverseHTTP and WebSockets · · Score: 1

    Could be neat. Just browser to the SETI site. click on volunteer some cycles and right away your browser (and computer) are peers working away on the problem. Nothing to install. When you are done, just navigate away.

  22. Re:Reinventing the wheel is sometimes good on Scala, a Statically Typed, Functional, O-O Language · · Score: 3, Informative

    Like mod_perl ?

  23. Re:Errrr, your suggestion is.....? on Schneier On Self-Enforcing Protocols · · Score: 1

    Maybe each voter could check the voters of three other people. That would scale.

  24. Microsoft is into lots of enterprises on Bing Search Tainted By Pro-Microsoft Results · · Score: 3, Funny

    For example Expedia. Perhaps travel queries are tainted too. And who knows what else.

  25. George W. Bush on Microsoft Exec Says, "You'll Miss Vista" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, and history will redeem George W. Bush too.
