  1. Re:Available the day after? on ABC To Offer Full Shows Online · · Score: 1

    That's what Adult Swim does. Several days before, actually. And no ads within the streams. I don't watch too much Adult Swim, so I usually just catch Boondocks and Robot Chicken on the site, not watching it when it's on TV. Somehow, I don't think that's what they were going for.

  2. Re:Fundamental Browser Issue on New Phishing Flaw in Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    I believe you can turn off javascript's ability to change the status bar in Firefox. And, doesn't it already pop up a warning saying the site's URL doesn't match the certificate's URL? I know I've had it warn when I was on blockbuster.com and the certificate was for www.blockbuster.com or something like that.

  3. Re:Bug fixed in IE7b2 on New Phishing Flaw in Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    Is there any Firfox extension that allows you to have javascript on by default and select sites you don't want to be able to script? Or have a tab in which javascript isn't allowed? I believe there was some tab extension that allowed you to supposedly disable images and maybe scripting, but it didn't really work.

  4. So, they count BSD as a Linux distrobution. on Microsoft Launches Linux Labs Website · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least, this makes it seem like they do: "The lab's software is even more diverse, with some 15 versions of UNIX and 50 distributions of Linux--including many lesser-known ones like Asianux, CentOS and NetBSD." http://port25.technet.com/archive/2006/03/31/14.as px Looks like there are already a few comments there about it though.

  5. Re:Firefox on New Phishing Flaw in Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    I got the thing that said "Secunia". No google.com popup like IE, and the final page had the right address, unlike the "google.com" in IE. You're saying the final page showed up as "google.com" in the address bar in Firefox?

  6. Re:Why?? on New Phishing Flaw in Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    They'll have to get used to tabs anyhow, when IE7 comes out.

  7. Were the patients religious? on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 1

    Did the patients believe that the prayer could heal them though? I wouldn't be at all surprised about the placebo effect of prayer, if the person knows they're being prayed for, and believes it will help them. A quick look through the article doesn't make this clear.

  8. Re:DSLinux on DS Web Browser in June · · Score: 1

    I'll start using it when it can write to my SD card. If it will ever be able to write to my SD card. Maybe I'll try it before that sometime for the browser though.

  9. It looks sort of like frosting on Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal · · Score: 1

    Yahoo gave everyone ice cream. Slashdot should give us all free cake.

  10. Re:"-1 SNAP!" on Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal · · Score: 1

    I believe it's "Oh SNAP!"

  11. Re:Wait a second... on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    But the theater around here charges $5.50. (For regulat matinees, that is, before 6 PM, or all the time for college students, kids, and seniors). $4.25 for the first showing of the day, and $7.75 for the rest of the adults after 6. They must be making a profit, right? So how does that work?

  12. Re:They'll get a significant portion of the market on Revolution Horsepower Revealed · · Score: 1

    They do milk Mario Party too much though. I am definentally hoping to see an online Mario Party on the Revolution though. Nintendo's multiplayer games are usually really fun. One thing I notice is less online cheating on Nintendo systems. At least, I haven't seen any. Whereas you look at Halo 2, cheaters abound. I'm not quite sure why that is, but I hope it continues with the Revolution. And I'm hoping they won't go all "kid-friendly" and remove voice chat or something.

  13. Re:They'll get a significant portion of the market on Revolution Horsepower Revealed · · Score: 1

    Ah, but Nintendo is missing out on Burnout 3+, which is about as fun as Mario Kart.

  14. Re:Not quite. on Facebook On The Block · · Score: 1

    Indeed, being anonymous on Facebook makes no sense. Now, I've noticed there are a lot of people that set their name as Chuck Norris, Jesus Christ, and Santa Claus. (Of course, some of them are actually named Charles Norris.) And I also notice they changed the search since the last time I searched.

  15. Re:Tuttle NBC video on Slashback: Vista Rewrite, Tuttle Travesty, Mac Botnets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, it appears the video only works in IE, that will save bandwidth. I don't think I've ever seen a local news station have their whole news cast streamable online though. Most just have clips. And if this was available as a clip, it would've used less bandwidth than having people seek through the newscast. A little bit, at least.

  16. Does the Virtual PC Importer work better now? on Slashback: Vista Rewrite, Tuttle Travesty, Mac Botnets · · Score: 1

    I tried importing a Virtual Machine when VMWare Player first came out. I could never get it to work. I was trying to run FreeDOS, but it kept giving me an error. Turns out, it would only work with types of Windows NT. 2000, XP, and 2003, I believe. It didn't work with the XP Embedded (x86) image I tried. Now that I check the correct link that someone else posted, it says support for non-Windows guest OSes is "experimental". At least they actually mention which guest OSes work this time.

  17. Re:How is this different? on Nintendo President Vows Cheap Games · · Score: 1

    A nitpick on your nitpick: Most emulators designed for the Xbox are illegal since they used the Xbox SDK and copyrighted libraries to compile. Now, if you ran them under Linux on the Xbox, that would be legal. Of course, you're most likely going to be using them for illegal things anyhow.

  18. Re:I don't have much faith on Nintendo President Vows Cheap Games · · Score: 1

    Well, they pushed the upper limits on the N64. What were those games, $60 or $70 MSRP new?

  19. Re:Geometry wars on Nintendo President Vows Cheap Games · · Score: 1

    Live Arcade has been around for a while now. You do know there was a version for the original xbox, that came out a few days before Halo 2. So, it was released at the beginning of November, 2004. So, if you recall correctly, Microsoft had this way before Nintendo. With all Nintendo's claims of other companies ripping off their ideas, it's interesting to see them using Microsoft's. Also, how is this going to work for the Revolution without a hard drive? I'd imagine the space could start filling up fast.

  20. Re:Ads?! on Google Wireless Patents Published · · Score: 1

    I don't think most IM services are encrypted. And I know IRC isn't encrypted. It's all plain text, just telnet in if you want.

  21. Re:Master of the obvious... on Google Wireless Patents Published · · Score: 1

    So, no mail? What about SSL?

  22. Re:I'm not sure how long that will last on Facebook On The Block · · Score: 1

    What all information is on there about you? Just as much as you put in. You really only need a name and an email, correct?

  23. Re:To be honest... on Preview Google's New Search Results Page · · Score: 1

    Did anyone notice when they started redirecting search result URLS through their server so they could know which link you clicked on a year or two ago? Well, some people noticed, such as me. But, not many people seemed to care. That was only done for certain people though. Is that how this was found? And is it ever going to be implemented?

  24. Is it funny because it's wrong? on Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that, if they're using the internet, they wouldn't want to destory it.

  25. Morpheus is still around? on RICO Suit Filed Against Skype Founders · · Score: 1

    What is it now? Still pretty much a branding of Gnucleus, or something else? Do they really not have spyware? And I liked them better when they just ran their Music City servers. Or even the spyware-less Kazaa.
