  1. From TFA on Operation 'Cyber Storm' Starts Tomorrow · · Score: 3, Funny

    "IT-ISAC has eight members participating in the exercise, the center's Web site states. The participants are Cisco Systems, Citadel Security Software, CA (formerly Computer Associates), Computer Sciences Corp., Intel, Microsoft, Symantec and VeriSign."

    In other words, little, if any.

  2. A much more informative article about Jobs on Steve Jobs: Redefining The CEO · · Score: 1

    Read the 3rd and 4th paragraphs of this article.

  3. Re:This is a first on Bounty For Booting XP on the Intel iMac · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean /. (as opposed to slash-asterisk)?

  4. Don't rely on stats from w3schools.com... on When Should You Stop Support for Software? · · Score: 1

    ...their target audience is different than yours. Instead, record browser stats yourself for a month or so by logging the USER_AGENT environmental variable for a few of your most critical web pages. Then, make a decision based on your observations.

  5. When I stir-fry, temperature is not very critical on RFID Cookware · · Score: 1

    +/- 50 degrees isn't going to ruin your dinner. What IS critical is stirring technique. I doubt I'd get much use out of RFID cookware.

  6. From the font, I'd say the poster was designed... on "Bookshelf" Computer Wins Design Contest · · Score: 1

    ... on a Mac. Lucida Grande is a dead giveaway.

  8. Re:Please, kill the registry... on Going Deep Inside Vista's Kernel Architecture · · Score: 1
    nothing wrong with copying
    I believe M$ attorneys would disagree ;)

    Thanks for the link! Great site!

  11. Re:Windows only for now on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    touché... I now see the secondary horizontal navbar. I don't know how I missed it the first time. Nice to see that they also offer a QNX build as well :)

  12. Windows only for now on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that they are currently only offering the Windows version as a free download (despite that fact that their screen shots depict the Mac OS X build).

  13. Re:Here's a quick hack I wipped up in Xcode on LGP Announces New Competition · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and run Ethereal if you're paranoid... you'll see that the only network activity performed by my app is the downloading of this jpeg.

  14. Here's a quick hack I wipped up in Xcode on LGP Announces New Competition · · Score: 1

    http://members.shaw.ca/icodenaked/lgp_contest_hack .dmg

    This program filters out the noise, leaving only those pixels which belong to the hidden screen shot (on top of a grey background).

    Ironic that I wrote it for Mac OS X, eh?

  15. G4 based iPods around the corner on Apple Hedges Its Bet on New Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    just kidding...

    They probably secured the deal just in case things get off to a rough start with Intel. Furthermore, bet they'll need a few extra G4 chips for future hardware repairs. The deal doesn't say that they WILL buy the chips - just they CAN buy the chips if they need them.

  16. burnt beans? MORE antioxidants??!! on Coffee A Health Drink? · · Score: 1

    let me get this straight... burnt foods are LESS carcinogenic than non-burnt foods???

  17. Re:Damn you Google! on Google's Turn To Be The Villain · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link! That was a great read :)

  18. Re:ho hum? on Intel Ports Developer Tools to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    How can there be no IOKit??? IOKit is part of Darwin (which is open source).

  19. Re:OSDL or ODSL on Microsoft Proposes Cooperative Research With OSDL · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The parent is not a troll. They were pointing out a typo in the slashdot article.

  20. Re:The ODSL? on Microsoft Proposes Cooperative Research With OSDL · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  21. you mean like... on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 1
  22. Re:'Just knowing' on Strong Emotions May Cause Temporary Blindness · · Score: 1

    FYI, science isn't about proving anything. Mathematicians prove theorems. Scientists confirm hypotheses.

  23. iDevGames.com on The Evolution of Mac Gaming · · Score: 5, Informative

    To those interested in developing games for Mac, you should stop by the iDevGames forum sometime ;)

    Another similar site (which many of the iDevGames members also visit) is CreateMacGames.org.

  24. Re:This is going to be good... on Gentoo 2005.1, Experimental Live CD Released · · Score: 1

  25. Re:Analysis Paralysis? on GPL v3 Coming Out in 2007? · · Score: 1

    Well, we can at least expect it to come out before Hurd does ;)
