  1. Re:How good is it - it does NOT VALIDATE ;-) on Google Introduces Page Creator · · Score: 1

    Wow. I knew about MSN but I didn't know that the homepage of Microsoft.com had also been redone. I now hate Microsoft just a little less.

  2. Re:My local kebab shop doesn't sue me... on Film Studios Sue Samsung Over DVD players · · Score: 1

    Haven't you heard? You never actually bought the movie. You only licensed it, and thus you don't get to do anything you want with it. The fact that you are never really told that you haven't actually bought the movie is just a negligible detail.

    That sounds rediculous, but I do fondly remember the initial days of DVD when they contained no advertisements.

  4. Re:Respect? on Interview with Microsoft Exec on IE7 and RSS · · Score: 1

    I will have no respect for IE7 due to the history of IE, regardless of how capable it is. I may however, hate using it less than I currently hate using IE6.

    Please God! Let me open new tabs in IE by clicking the scroll wheel!

  5. Re:Perhaps they could fix the installation methods on XULRunner Developer Preview Release Available · · Score: 1

    RTFA. The entire purpose of XULRunner is to run standalone XUL applications. Not to add bits of XUL onto something else. XULRunner has nothing to do with extensions. Your whining is completely irevelant.

    Also, you need to stop referring to "extensions" as "plugins". They're completely unrelated and serve very different purposes.

  6. Re:correction to yours on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    You're right. What salesperson wouldn't try to push a consumer towards a more expensive product? He doesn't care that it's an inferior product if he's getting a commision. Plus he might be able to sell service since more than 95% of all people don't have the first clue about how to install a "card" in their computer. And of course it wouldn't be a real salesperson if he wasn't sprouting bullshit constantly.

  7. Re:Total cached page limit. on Firefox Memory Leak is a Feature · · Score: 1

    Hah. You got me.

    Alright, I would rather pay for a second gigabyte of memory before I pay for a new CPU. If money wasn't an issue, I'd just buy a new top-of-the-line setup every week or so.

    I know other languages support GC, but Java is the only current commonly-used language to support GC that has good cross-platform support.

    It's probably from an extension. Adblock was causing the same thing for me when I had div blocking turned on.

    Hey I just found out that 1.5 is less than 4! Really, it's true! Even though 1.5 has two digits and 4 only has one, it's still somehow smaller! I don't understand it either, but that's what my math teacher told me!

  11. Re:Total cached page limit. on Firefox Memory Leak is a Feature · · Score: 1

    Are you seriously suggesting that Firefox should be written in Java? Isn't an interface built with XML and JavaScript slow enough already? I'd rather ad a second gigabyte of memory before I tried upgrading my CPU.

    Hello. I don't really have anything to say, but the events I've experienced throughout my life have shaped me into such a way as to create the thought process that has decided to commit the act of producing this reply. Free will is an illusion. Now send me all your pr0n on 16-gigabyte USB thumb drives. You have no free will to decide not too.

    unless there were dozens of java applets or extremely retarded JS scripts that managed to leak objects everywhere

    JavaScript shouldn't be able to leak objects, no matter how retarded it is. I think this issue has been fixed on the trunk though.

  14. Re:Windows on The Great HDCP Fiasco · · Score: 1

    the topic is ENCRYPTION IN MOVIES USING BLU-RAY

    This post implied that Blu-ray would fail simply because it was being backed by Sony, so I pointed out Sony had a strong hand is some of the most popular storage formats. I stayed on the same topic as that post.

    Or maybe Blu-Ray will fail like 3½-inch floppies and CDs did. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.

  16. Re:Pirated content on The Great HDCP Fiasco · · Score: 1

    It's already that way. I sure don't see any movies in high def in stores. Pirated content encoded in MPEG-4 is already usually the only way to go (though in ASP instead of AVC). And guess what the effect on sales has been? Not really all that much.

  17. Re:Christianity and Microsoft? - Embrace and Exten on Christian Churches Celebrate Darwin's Birthday · · Score: 1

    Microsoft embraces standards because it fears anything it can't control, but Christians only embrace evolution because they're too lazy to disbelive it. Back in the old days Christians could believe the sky was green and the grass was pink, but kids these days just don't have the same passion and faith anymore. It's so sad.

    "It's getting hard to disbelieve all this evolution stuff. Maybe I'll just sorta mix it in. Evolution happened through the power of the Lord, and the tale of the creation of Adam and Eve is just a metaphor. Yeah, that's it!"

  18. Re:What problem? on Microsoft Anti-Spyware Removes Norton Anti-Virus · · Score: 1

    Apple, like most other companies isn't compelled to do harm to their own customers by locking them into their own products at every turn.

    Oh, you mean like QuickTime and the .mov format? Or iPod and iTunes? Or their one-button mice? Or the nonstandard MPEG file extensions? Or their photocasting feeds that violate the RSS specifications? Or how they only support Mac OS on hardware that they supply? Or 90% of everything else that Apple has ever produced?

    Just because you can't imagine looking at a hairy butt and thinking, "love," doesn't mean there aren't people in the world that DO look at a hairy butt and think, "love."

    Like (straight) women? I know you're on /. and all, but women really aren't that rare. No seriously, they make up about half the population. I'm totally serious.

    Coloured scrollbars are tacky at best.

    Even scrollbars within the page, such as on iframes? More and more websites are using fake scrollbars because the system defalut ones clash with their design. I would choose colored scrollbars with behavior controlled by the browser over fake scrollbars created with JavaScript or Flash anyday. Also, I would be insulted if someone tried to claim that I wouldn't be able to tell that a scrollbar is a scrollbar just because it's pink or blue.

    And it's still a smaller download

    Updating Firefox uses very small downloads. When will Opera get such a system? Unless you never update, Firefox wins when it comes to smaller downloads.
