  2. Such sweet words! on Bruce Campbell Confirms New Evil Dead Movie · · Score: 1

    I just hope this ain't what you'd call pillow talk, baby!

  3. No-way-Opt-out on Facebook Facial Recognition Raises New Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    "The tool would still scan that person's face and figure out who it is, but it won't display that information. People can still manually tag friends."

    Looks as if there is no way to REALLY opt out. I wonder if the same applies to all their other privacy settings?

  5. Close... but what about auto-suggests on Google Offers Encrypted Web Search Option · · Score: 3, Interesting

    While Googles searches are secure, it would appear autosuggests? I use FF's search bar and set the search engine to use SSL. Forcing the autosuggest url to https redirects back to http which means anyone sniffing for suggestqueries.google.com can still find out my queries

    Yes... i mean, no... i mean, maybe. Let me try.

    Im moving to Greenland. Who's with me???

  13. FINALLY! on Ageia PhysX Tested · · Score: 1

    Now how can I put this to use on my homework!

  14. So whats the big deal on Microsoft Bypasses HOSTS File · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you want to bypass the hosts file all you need to do is connect by using the IP address as opposed to the DNS name. Sure it seems a bit more complicated or problematic (incase DNS->IP pointing changes) but Im sure all malware programs would rather specify an IP instead of DNS. I would if I was creating a malware program :-)

  15. Time to invade.... on Researchers Make Gasoline From Cow Dung · · Score: 1

    India... The next Middle East!

  16. Suggestions anyone? on Operation 'Cyber Storm' Starts Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Funny

    As a precautionary measure, should I set fire to all my machines running XP???

    i meant "hopefully". sory for the bad speling :-)

  20. Re:huh? on Xbox 360 File System Decoded · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Perhaps this is bills tactic? Release XBOX360 a year before PS3. By the time PS3 hits 360 will be "cracked" (hoefully) -> Surge in 360 sales -> Death of Sony. Just a shot-in-the-dark

  23. Bugggg fix only. nice on Vim 6.4 Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dozens of bugs have been fixed, runtime files were added and updated. There are no new features They are focusing more on fixing problems rather than add new features and in essence adding new bugs. Its rare to see updates which are meant for donzens of fixes. A smart approach.

  25. Will AJAX Threaten Windows Desktop???? on Will AJAX Threaten Windows Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Another ./ headline to spread M$ fud. Tell me, if AJAX is set to replace desktop, why only "Windows" desktop. Isn't this this technology, or group of combined technologies a replacement for desktops in general whether its windows, gnome, kde, or any other flavor of it. Frankly, these misleading headlines are really getting outta control. Back to the topic @ hand, I really think the collective use of well established technologies WILL replace desktops in general but not now. This will inevitably lead to OS's as well as most other applications being service-based and providing ondemand installation of required libraries. Linux already provides capabilites like this. Think, fully automated "apt-gets" or "emerges". The limiting factor right now is bandwidth and cpu speed for compiling code on-demand. The bandwidth issue i believe is close to resolve right any as Gigabit ethernet (125MB/s) will provide pipes as close to being as fast as your typical UDMA133 (133MB/s) hard drive (even though this is the "theoretical" speed). Fiber-optics is probably even faster. All in all, I think AJAX is a representation of the future of the applications. Just the method of delivery is currently the limiting factor.
