  1. Vista SP1 Means ... on What Vista SP1 Means To You · · Score: 1

    ... that Microsoft should spend more money in bug fixing and for faster update release.
    None can be perfect, software can always contain bugs. But being dull and dumb with bugs and security holes is deliberate stupidity.

  2. Re:Format before use on Another Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    No. I mean "non MS Windows". You choose.

  3. Format before use on Another Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Maybe formatting USB memories before usage would be a good move.
    And using OS that won't run anything from the newly attached memry as a default would also help.

  4. Flies are right! on Bank Run in Second Life · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If 50 billions flies eat sh*t, it means that's worth tasting! -50: sub-troll

  5. Face recognition with a photo! on Using Face Recognition Instead of a PIN Number · · Score: 1

    And what happens if I put a photo or an hologram in front of that camera?

  6. Fragmentation! on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I think that the answe could be: too many projects all around the Linux kernel .
    This can leads to a fragmentation in the resource (both human and economic) allocation to projects.
    This in turn can lead to slow advance in technologies, loose of focus in development.
    Three to five desktops, none working perfectly.
    More than one hundred distributions, three to five browsers, three office suites ... they all do the same things with minor changes in the meat and a lot of graphics work to differentiate.
    The ability to choose is important. But hings should work a little bit better before multiplying choices. IMHO.

  7. Interferences on Qantas To Offer In-Flight Internet, Laptop Amenities · · Score: 1

    So either the "interference issues" have been solved, or it has been an hoax since the beginning.

  8. And what about failures? on Inside FAA's GPS-Based Air Traffic Control · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And in the case the aviunics is failing, then the airplane will be invisible to everyone but radars!
    The best way would be a (distributed) radar system + GPS.
    You need both system failing in order to get an airplane lost.

  9. Re:Yes, indeed! on Is the LUG a thing of the past? · · Score: 1

    OK, I'll chew the pizza while you serch the text! There are things that get much funnier in person than on a keyboard.
    Just unleash your imagination! :-)

  10. Why not 10 finger keyboard? on Five Finger Keyboards · · Score: 1

    A two- or three-way foldable keyboard, either wired or wireless, would do the magics without the need to reinvent the wheel ... ehm ... the keyboard!

  11. Yes, indeed! on Is the LUG a thing of the past? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    User groups are made by users, that is people.
    And people still need to meet each other for brinstorming, experience exchanges and, of course, a good cup of your favourite beverage!
    Try doing this on a mailing list!

  12. kwalletmanager on Holes Remain Open in Firefox Password Manager · · Score: 1

    Maybe a much better solution. But you need to install Linux or *BSD first.

  13. The real fun (Re:Creationism) on U.S. Science and Engineering Research Flattens · · Score: 1

    is that creationism people with one hand drains science (and thus technology) down the wc, while with the other one uses the cell, browse the internet, watches the TV and drives the car.
    Possibly all at the same time.

  14. Creationism on U.S. Science and Engineering Research Flattens · · Score: 3, Insightful

    is flattening American brains!
    That'd be why!

  15. What'd be better? on Too Many Linux Distros Make For Open Source Mess · · Score: 1

    Some choice is better than no choices at all.
    A lot of choices can be less useful than fewer choices.
    Too many choices could be useless.
    I'd prefer something like the BSD world where there are a few mainstream distributions and some destop oriented derivatives.
    The real advantage coming from fewer distributions is that there would be a low fragmentation in resource assignment, bot human and economic.
    I fear that Linus never thought about such a pletora when he gave freedom to the community.
    Maybe.

  16. What'd that for? on The British Steam Car Challenge · · Score: 1

    Is this just for fun or what?
    I fear that steam technology is now a tittle bit out of the industry focus.

  17. Most of Russians on Volunteer to Simulate a Mars Mission for the ESA · · Score: 1

    are located in Europe even if most of Russia is within the geographic boundaries of Asia.

  18. Aren't Russians European? on Volunteer to Simulate a Mars Mission for the ESA · · Score: 1

    The definition of Russian sounds weird to me.

  19. Circular definition of kilo? on Perfect Silicon Sphere to Redefine the Kilogram · · Score: 1

    The weight has been defined upon a lump of platinum since 19th century.
    Atomic weight is ... weight so it depends upon that lump.
    They will count the number of atoms in the sphere and will multiply it by the atomic weight of silicon.
    The weight of the silicon ball will be correct if and only if is will weight the same as the platinum lump, not just because the number of atoms has been precisely defined.
    I would prefer to stay with the platinum lump: less hassle!

  20. Why a (perfect) sphere? on Perfect Silicon Sphere to Redefine the Kilogram · · Score: 1

    As the silicon has a cace-centered cubic crystal structure, a sphere could not be the perfect shape.

  21. For sure on Tools That Manage Both Macs and PCs · · Score: 1, Funny

    A set of screw drivers shoud be fine do "manage" both Macs and PCs!

  22. From him to you on Paul McCartney On Music In the Digital World · · Score: 1

    If there's anything that you want (to ear),
    if there's anything I can do (with music):
    just call your ISP
    and it'll send it along
    with love from me to you!
    (And your money from you to me)

  23. Also IPv4 on Vista Not Playing Well With IPv6 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I suspect that also IPv4 is having problems.

  24. No privacy concern at all! on Google Street View Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    This sounds crazy!
    What'd be the difference between watching you entering that adult-only shop via web cam or being there personally?

  25. Something is better than nothing on Doctor Who To Be Axed, Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd like to thank Russel a lot for his efforts: a lot of people like me was missing the Doctor.
    But I'd also like to tell BBC that there could be other producers able to continue the job.
    After all you can slash resources from some other (maybe more stupid) program.
    In any case, may God save the Great Britain and the Little one.
