  1. Re:Slow... on Mozilla Rolls Out Firefox 3.6 RC, Nears Final · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Guess you've never really used Opera since it has the equivilants of those add-ons built in.

  2. Re:Spoiler: on CES, Reporter Breaks "Unbreakable" Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    It's a bit funny just how fast he breaks it. The CEO seems a bit surprised how the guy whacks at it for a few seconds and breaks it that easily.

  3. Re:Short Circuit on Google's Book Scanning Technology Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, but Johnny Five was ALIVE!

  4. Re:Any animator knows... on Framerates Matter · · Score: 1

    Even in movie theaters, the projectors show each frame twice to give a framerate of 48 fps. Makes it look smoother that way.

  5. Re:3dMark??? on Best Buy $39.95 "Optimization" At Best a Waste of Money · · Score: 1

    They were using it as a metric because BestBuy claimed that the processor would be 200% faster. So that should mean gaming is 200% faster too right?

  6. Re:Overhyped, but well-timed on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 1

    After seeing Avatar, I found it looked a lot like one of the islands in Myst III With all the bright colors and dynamic plant life.

    Part of the low gravity things can be explained (at least in the Na'vi) by them being ten feet tall and still being able to walk. On Earth they would have to have some pretty strong bones to be able to stand.

  7. Re:My Rights on DC Sues AT&T For Unclaimed Phone Minutes · · Score: 1

    I have the right to any tax dollars unused by the years end.

    Like THAT ever happened. More likely you'll get the right to any deficit at the years end.

  8. Re:Watch list? on 5th Underhanded C Contest Now Open · · Score: 1

    Why? My teeth are fine!

  9. Re:Mexico? on Patrolling the US Border Via Webcam · · Score: 1

    Well with all the miles of border, what are the chances someone will be able to recognize an area of desert or brush from a point of view they haven't seen in an area they haven't crossed over?

  10. Re:IPv6 sucks monkey bawls on Windows 7 May Finally Get IPv6 Deployed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We already have a simple solution, IP4 with NAT. It works great.

    I take it you've never had to program any application that needs peer to peer communications then?

  11. Re:Pre Alpha?? on Opera 10.5 Pre-Alpha Is Out, and It's Fast · · Score: 2, Informative

    Opera has sort of broken away from that traditional model since so many people like to try the latest versions. They usually release weekly builds and "pre-alphas" on their blog, betas and RCs on their beta download page (more public), and then the stable version. This one seems to have the title "pre-alpha" because it compiled, but not all the UI is complete, and a lot of things will crash it. Basically they haven't finished writing stuff and know some stuff doesn't work, so it's not even to the testing stage (which would be "alpha") or the large scale testing "beta".

  12. Re:Apple on Microsoft Sued Over Bing Trademark · · Score: 1

    Well in that case the trademark holder was an evil record company, not a friendly design firm.

  13. Re:The communication channel between a combat UAV. on $26 of Software Defeats American Military · · Score: 1

    Also simply not true since the communication channels ARE ENCRYPTED.

  14. Re:So instead of leaking this to the news... on $26 of Software Defeats American Military · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking they could just start broadcasting the latest American Idol or whatever and drive off anyone who might be monitoring them forever!

  15. Re:Friday, December 19? on Angry AT&T Customers May Disrupt Service · · Score: 1

    Yeah, one important thing when trying to get lots of people to do something on a specific date is to make sure you've picked a real date.

  16. Re:Titanium Case? on Israeli Border Police Shoot US Student's Laptop · · Score: 1

    They haven't been titanium for years - it tended to crack and wasn't shiny enough. Now they're aluminum.

  17. Re:Octopus & the Goldfish on Aussie Scientists Find Coconut-Carrying Octopus · · Score: 3, Informative

    There was one aquarium where the octopus was eating the sharks at night before they finally noticed. There's a video on youtube of the octopus attacking that's pretty cool.

  18. Re:problems with bing on Mozilla Exec Urges Switch From Google To Bing · · Score: 1

    I think he means the front page, which does look sort of like some crappy domain squatters web portal:
    http://bing.com/
    http://why5.com/

  19. Re:And that's bad how? on The Science Credibility Bubble · · Score: 1

    Well as she said, she's from Alaska so she could see the ice melting and temperatures first hand.

  20. Re:Reminds me of xkcd on SQL Injection Attack Claims 132,000+ · · Score: 1

    Well that would be an SQL injection attack... Does everything that's been covered by XKCD remind you of it now?

  21. Re:Context? on Google CEO Says Privacy Worries Are For Wrongdoers · · Score: 1

    Do you read the terms of service on every website you visit?

    All it does it record information useful to webmasters like the resolution, browser, color depths, javascript abilities, you're already allowing the website to render on your computer, just part of the website was developed by and hosted on Google.

  22. Re:More buttons! Less necessity for touchscreen(?) on Building the Dream Google Smartbook · · Score: 1

    Oh like at Six Flags where they have the LCDs with pictures of the people on the rides outside and labels on the top saying "This is not a touch screen, please do not touch screen."

    Of course my friend poked the image anyways "just to make sure".

  23. Re:Context? on Google CEO Says Privacy Worries Are For Wrongdoers · · Score: 1

    As someone who uses Google Analytics on my site, I'd hope it wasn't. All the information it collects is anonymous, without it I'd have to implement my own system that would do basically the same thing, but then I'd have all that information linking users to the stuff collected.

    Oh and to all you people that modify your user agent string - you're not helping statistics on browser usage, and it's not like there's an issue with anyone knowing you use the latest Firefox.

  24. Re:It drives me nuts on Farmville, Social Gaming, and Addiction · · Score: 1

    Yep, it even works in Opera and has made facebook a lot more pleasant.

  25. Re:Electric car with problems? on Electric Mini Cooper Has Rough Start · · Score: 1

    Technologies change. Eventually we'll have better batteries, better motors, and a higher capacity power distribution system. Electric cars being developed will push those technologies a lot faster.
