  1. And MS Windows is GOOD, right? on USB Is the Devil's Connection · · Score: 1

    Because if you look carefully you'll notice that the four colored squares leave a greek cross in the middle.
    And I'm not pulling the abvious FreeBSD in.

  2. I bet on Hidden Debug Mode Found In AMD Processors · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Someone will find something similar in Intel chips as well.

  3. Re:WPA2 minimum passphrase length... on Sophos Researcher Suggests Password 'Free' to Spur Wi-Fi Encryption · · Score: 1

    My point is about his actual knowledge and reliability in technology and security. Then I would prefer something like "01234567" and it's easier to type on a (smart)phone.

  4. Re:WPA2 minimum passphrase length... on Sophos Researcher Suggests Password 'Free' to Spur Wi-Fi Encryption · · Score: 1

    So don't mind that security genius.

  5. Re:STATISTICS! on Do Firefox Users Pay More For Car Loans? · · Score: 1

    Than you should draw at random in a statistically gauged distribution. This is STATISTICS.
    The fact that statistically the major part of good people runs Chrome means that if one runs Chrome is a good guy. This is DUMBNESS.

  6. Really? on Do Firefox Users Pay More For Car Loans? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You base your assumptions that:
    1. the browser is telling the truth about the user agent.
    2. the browser used it the one the customer uses regularly.
    3. your eveluation about "risky" browser is correct.
    4. all this makes some kind of sense.

  7. Offtopic? on Linux 2.6.36 Released · · Score: 1

    The offtopic mod is offtopic on its own!
    The new kernels are OK since long now. A few new things and a lot more fixes. But what's that for if the distros are leaving it behind as well as creating a whole new mess with their idiosyncracies.

  8. Re:The problem with Linux is not the kernel! on Linux 2.6.36 Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    The problem is not the GNU collection. It's the fact that every distro team spends a lot of efforts to make it unique. Instead of making it working. Like the *BSD distros.

  9. Re:The problem with Linux is not the kernel! on Linux 2.6.36 Released · · Score: 1

    Or having 1 hundred, none ready for every day usage at the very best. Distros or car brands at your choice.

  10. The problem with Linux is not the kernel! on Linux 2.6.36 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The problem is in the fragmentation of distributions and the fragmentation in the GUI.
    Fragmentation of resources (both human and economic), I mean.

  11. Re:Of course on All Your Stonehenge Photos Are Belong To England · · Score: 1

    You are wrong.100% of people doesn't care for 100% of laws.

  12. Of course on All Your Stonehenge Photos Are Belong To England · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All photos of the Colosseo, St. Peter's dome, Ponte Vecchio and Ponte di Rialto belong to ... Berlusconi.

  13. And what about claiming IPs back? on NRO Warns They Are On Final IPv4 Address Blocks · · Score: 1

    There's no claim of unused IPs back to LIR. I bet that there's a lartgw number of IPv4 blocks actually unused or overbooked.
    As a network admin I've never seen a real check about IP usage for customers without ASs.
    This looks like the garbage problem. One side is the production, one is the disposal.
    You cannot solve this kind of problem by just lookin gat one of the two sides.

  14. Better and simpler answer on Why Microsoft Is So Scared of OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    MONEY.

  15. More videos to come on Microsoft Admits OpenOffice.org Is a Contender · · Score: 1

    At least:
    - Linux
    - Firefox and Chrome
    - Thunderbird
    - Postgresql and MySQL

  16. Microkernel to the rescue! on Indian Military Organization To Develop Its Own OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hope the new OS will be a microkernel one, like L4Ka (or L4 in general) or Minix.

  17. It's time to come back on Interactive Text Adventures Come To the Kindle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For Infocom.

  18. it's a nightmare on Software Evolution Storylines, Inspired By XKCD · · Score: 1

    Even with SVG!

  19. 11+ MB? on Mozilla Releases Firefox 4 Beta For Android, Maemo · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's a really huge application in the Android world, though.
    I hope the RCs and the finale releases will be slimmer.
    And I hope it will get its way to the market.
    And I hope Google will release Chrome for Android as well, a main missing app there.
    Welcome the the mobile browser wars.

  20. Function calls? on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 1

    Are you using RPN-like languages like machine code?

  21. It's just marketing, baby! on Skype Officially Available For Android · · Score: 1

    Just until CISCO will buy Skype. Then everything will revert back to normal operation.

  22. JPEG 2000 was boon on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: 1

    But very few companies embraced it. Just give a look to its capabilities!

  23. Re:Microsoft releases a new image format called We on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: -1, Troll

    What's the difference between Microsoft and Google?
    Isn't Internet just one big thing?

  24. I'm it's wrong on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 1

    That'd be 42, not zero.
