  1. Answer on Does IE8 Really Pass Acid2? [Updated] · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Problems with IE8's Acid2 results stem from cross site scripting issues which they're still working on. Rendering is done just fine, but the cross site scripting is posing a problem.

    I heard the exact details about this over at MIX but I don't remember them now.

  2. Re:hum on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 1

    I should clarify, since I made the same mistake I was complaining about:

    Same with some of the radical groups within Judaism and Islam.

  3. Re:hum on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 1

    You are what is known as a troll. Again, the vast majority of muslims don't agree with what one sect of the religion believes in.

    The fact that the mods are moderating your comment up despite the rather bigoted analysis you just presented ("religion of hate") shows the state of fear around the world thanks to people who commit these outrageous attacks and the people who propagate fear (you) in order to profit from the attacks.

    I'm personally not committed to any particular religion myself; the Abrahamic religions have the same focus, so why should I follow one and exclude the rest?

  4. Re:hum on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, but they do go on psychological warfare, going apeshit at other religions for no good reason. Same with the Jews and same with the Muslims. They all do it.

    As for suicide bombing, it's totally irrelevant. You're talking about a minority of extremists. I'm talking about the majority. If you want to go down that route, the AmEvs took a developed nation's army into two (three if you include pakistan) nations for the sole purpose of teaching them our own point of view. Same idea as what the suicide bombers are doing, is it not?

  5. hum on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 0

    See, I wouldn't have a problem with his 15 minute film if he pointed out the same problems (which definitely do exist!) in the other two major Abrahamic religions. However, he doesn't. He's flamebaiting people who are as protective of their religion as American Evangelicals are of theirs.

  6. The real reason why SP1 is not ready on Microsoft Upgrades Vista Kernel in SP1 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    http://www.istartedsomething.com/20080205/real-reason-vista-sp1-not-released/

    Sinofsky's devs still have work to do, it seems. I mean come on; what the fuck changed between XP and Vista to kill file transfer times like that over a 1gbit network?

  7. Re:The best tools stay out of the way... on Goodbye Cruel Word · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "The problem with Word and notably Microsoft, is that they have attempted to make both Windows and their apps, notably Office, all things to all people with an interface that has not really changed at all over the course of its lifetime."

    Office 2007 is leaps and bounds over anything Microsoft put out before. The interface is also heavily improved, so I don't know where you're getting this (unless this is pre-2005 when Office 2007 wasn't public knowledge)

  8. 2009! on Analog Cellular Shutdown To Hit Built-In Devices · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It goes off in 2009 in the states, not 2008! Stop scaring people! Source: NAB

  9. And why not? on Promise of OOXML Oversight By ISO Falls Through · · Score: 0, Troll

    If it was approved right off the bat, the ISO would've had control. Microsoft is a business. They can make concessions when need be, but when they don't think they'll be able to capture something they need, they won't have any problems imposing restrictions that make business sense.

  10. Right on Suit Filed Over 'Halo 3 Incompatibility' · · Score: 2, Informative

    You've got to be fucking kidding me.

  11. No it isn't on Data Loss Bug In OS X 10.5 Leopard · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Apple beta tests software through the AppleSeed program. You have to pay to be able to participate in the program (What? Don't most companies pay the people that test their software?).

    There aren't nearly as many AppleSeeders than there were free Vista beta testers for instance. This is why Vista has no data loss bugs. The sick bugs are more likely to get caught when there are more testers.

  12. Yeah, well on The Dying PC Market · · Score: 5, Insightful

    they'll figure out how important PCs are once they want to start designing those video games, cell phones, PDAs, etc.

    None of those could exist without the PC.

  13. Windows Server a failure? on MS's Hilf Named Windows Server Marketer · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Active Directory has to be one of the single most important things ever implemented by Microsoft. I can't think of a single coorporation that I have worked for which doesn't use it.

    Just stating a point.

  14. FC? on Do You Recommend Google Maps API or Microsoft Live Maps? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds like you're a Microsoft Featured Community.

    If that's the case, stick with Microsoft's implementation. You'd end up being more loyal, and Microsoft likes loyalty.

  15. It's not your web server. on The Morality of Web Advertisement Blocking · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It may be your computer, but guess whose web server it is?
    With that in mind, the web page is on a private server which is open to the public. However, the owner of the machine has every right to block users who do not allow for advertisements.

    See, with big sites such as CNN, I feel that their service is an auxiliary mode of delivering information in addition to their other services. However, with smaller sites such as communities, etc., I allow their advertising to pass through because I realize that for most of them, the advertising is the only thing keeping their servers up.

    That's my logic. Feel free to disagree, but I feel it's probably more accurate than the parent post.

  16. unfazed? on Sony Dismisses Critics of Lair · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Sony remains unfazed."
    Unfazed my ass! They spammed the reviewers with reviewer's guides! They seem pretty desperate to buy back the good votes of the reviewers.

  18. Yes it is. RootkitRevealer says so on BioShock Installs a Rootkit · · Score: 1

    RootkitRevealer from Mark Russinovich (Microsoft) says so, and he doesn't have any agenda seeing as to how it's a game on Microsoft's platforms.

  19. Okay, and? on TSA's "Behavior Detection Officers" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What is there to worry about? Odds are you're safe if you don't sweat (quite literally)

  20. Patent trolling? on Microsoft Patents the Mother of All Adware · · Score: 1

    I'm getting the feeling that this is a patent filed solely for the purpose of keeping this kind of shitware from Windows PCs (you know, OEM addons?). Microsoft wouldn't implement it simply because of the risk of user outrage, but they'd file a patent for it so that they could sue the balls off of anyone that does.

  21. Not the first post! on Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet · · Score: 1

    First Post should be added as the most annoying word... but that's two words... argh! Dilema!

    To add to that, ChinaDaily (site with TFA) saved two cookies on my computer.

    No, it's just that high-karma tags tend to stick because the editors approve them.

    Stop crying about the tags.

  24. Stop crying about it. on Google Says Vista Search Changes Not Enough · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Google says Vista Search Changes not Enough"

    Oh good God fuck off already. I hope Microsoft undoes any planned changes just to put Google back into its place. Now they're just whining like babies. It's an operating system. I can understand concerns over Windows Media Player but the file searching mechanism in Vista is almost a necessity when it comes to finding your files. Since when was including a file finder an antitrust violation?

  25. Here's what I meant on RIAA Web Site Moved To Linux · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming you're asking about the badpublicity tag which I slapped on there (the tag didn't exist until I put it up)

    I was referring to linux, not the RIAA. Since when was it a good thing that the most hated organization in the world uses your OS?
