  1. Re:Its Marketing ... no information required on Seinfeld-Windows TV Ad Anything But 'Delicious' · · Score: 1

    One point: Seinfeld never was funny.

    You should see his "I get lost in malls because they are confusing" joke. Right up there with great classics like "What's with airport security, it takes so long, it is inconvenient."

    Did you watch the ad? It... it just.. it doesn't even contain a product. Rather, contains several products that Microsoft doesn't make and couldn't be metaphors. I am so much stupider thanks to that ad, maybe that is the secret purpose. I think that ad caused a stroke.

    280Slides runs noticeably better for me in FF 3.0.1 than in Chrome. Thats with 2 tabs open in FF and 0 in Chrome.

    I would mod you funny if I had mod points/hadn't already posted here. I find it best to ignore the mods, I'd say 80% of the time they are totally retarded.

  11. Re:Excellent!! on Browser Extension Defeats Internet Eavesdropping · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the clarification. Wikipedia appears incorrect on this matter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#How_it_works), if you wanna fix it to be more clear.

  12. Re:Excellent!! on Browser Extension Defeats Internet Eavesdropping · · Score: 1

    The MITM argument does not differentiate between self signed (for encryption only) and CA-signed (for identity verification) use of certs. It is an illogical argument to say Certs are not useful for encryption due to MITM concerns, but certs are useful for establishing identity.

    If someone is at the root "In The Middle" point, between a client and the WAN, they can forge the Certificate Authority transaction to represent their cert as valid, claiming to be whoever they want.

    From the reviews, sounds kind of like Foundation.

    I was wondering where Snow Crash was in the summary :(

  19. Terminology on Do Subatomic Particles Have Free Will? · · Score: 1

    Free will is not a scientific concept, it is a philosophical one. Everyone arguing about this should hence substitute "humans have free will" with "humans behave non-deterministically" and the same for atoms.

    I feel that, regardless of the existence of determinism in atomic behavior, the human brain captures the non-determinism to the highest degree possible in the universe due to the high complexity of its interactions. Just the fact that our neurotransmitters are carried in turbulent liquid gives rise to infinite complexity. A truer form of randomness does not exist unless it is quantum or similar. Either pure randomness exists and it is in the human brain, or 'true' randomness - immeasurable, unpredictable, infinite-computer-power using randomness even if it is in fact impure and deterministic.

  20. Re:Firing on Can I Be Fired For Refusing To File a Patent? · · Score: 1

    I believe this depends on your state. States that are "at will employment" have laws stating that you are hired at the discretion of your employer and can be fired at the same discretion, so long as it can't be proven their motive is illegal (racism etc). States that are not may require a stated reason for the firing that measures up to some standard.

    You still require an active internet connection to read messages, all you are saying is you can precache the messages. You can do exactly the same thing with and webpage. It is essentially the same task to crawl a Google group and precache it all.

    Slowness due to inventory is annoying as fuck though. I'd prefer like this: Size and Weight. You cannot pick up more than X size units of items, you cannot pick up more than X weight unites of items. No gray areas, no slow downs. And very large 'slot space' that is unrelated to the limits, so you can organize how you like.

  24. Re:The only question worth asking: on Spore Almost Ready for Production, Complete With "Sporn" · · Score: 1

    Use WireShark to sniff out the url of your download and save it (all their fancy "download manager" does is get an auth key based on your login and do an HTTP GET), then burn it to a disc.

    They try to play it like they are hosting a copy of the file for every fucking user, but no they are simply trying to scam you.
