  1. Re:splitter on Light Bulb Ban Produces Hoarding In EU, FUD In U.S. · · Score: 1

    Note, I'd probably put 3 40W incandescents there for the bathroom, etc...

  2. splitter on Light Bulb Ban Produces Hoarding In EU, FUD In U.S. · · Score: 1

    Someone really needs to make a 3-in-1 screw-in adapter for light bulbs. Then maybe, if I put 3 15W CFLs it will be better than a 60-75W normal bulb.

  3. Re:Splendid decision on Fedora 18 To Feature the GNOME2 Fork MATE · · Score: 1

    For me, Alt+Tab is completely unusable!. The rest I could live with (except for unity's global menu bar).

  4. Re:leave the EU on Five EU Countries Taken To Court For Failing To Implement Cookie Law · · Score: 1

    This is not true anymore because firefox has stopped crashing daily long ago (I used to have script to delete
    cookies not on the whitelist at startup, but it's mostly pointless now because firefox has survived for weeks).

  5. Re:If you have to ask why this is cool... on Demoscene: 64k Intros At Revision Demoparty · · Score: 1

    Agreed, from someone that has seen a JIT generate >64KB of code for a function call.

  6. Re:Alt-right click vs. right click? on GNOME Shell Extensions Are Live · · Score: 1

    May be true, but I think we also need a no-mouse Friday for gui/app designers/developers.

  7. Re:Err? on Chrome Is the Third Double-Digit Browser · · Score: 1

    I like the general look, but it breaks Zoom Text Only (left sidebar) which is really annoying
    (I started using custom css to hide it on one of my machines).

    Chrome also lacks Zoom Text Only, so I don't use it.

  8. Re:This is slashdot? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Seconded!

    Zoom text only is a must-have feature. Except on broken sites.

  9. Re:Major breaking of frontpagewhen increasinfont s on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Same for me. Unusable because I have Zoom text only enabled (which is a MUST).

  10. Re:Perfect timing on NASA Names Best & Worst Sci-Fi Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Try Andromeda. It is a nice spaceship.

  11. Looks very interesting on Gosu Programming Language Released To Public · · Score: 1

    But I really like my semicolons (as much as lispers like their parenthesis)

  12. Re:Distinction without a difference? on GM Criticized Over Chevy Volt's Hybrid Similarities · · Score: 1

    If that's true, it makes me completely uninterested in the Volt... Just buy a Prius or similiar.

    Now, if they need a direct link for > 70mph, just include a clutch that engages directly at that speed.

  13. Re:False assumption on Sentence Spacing — 1 Space or 2? · · Score: 1

    Kernel is 1 tab, which is always 8 spaces. This is completely different from 8 space indent.

  14. Re:I can see compromised hardware being an issue on Malicious Hardware Hacking May Be the Next Frontier · · Score: 1

    The problem with DRM/TPM/... today is that the 'vendors' like Apple and Microsoft are taking
    the control of the machine away from the owner. This means that a lot of advanced users will be on the 'must break DRM' side of the debate instead of 'DRM increases security'.

  15. Re:It's now clear where M$ is headed to! on Recomputing the Sky · · Score: 1

    It's not even distributed by MS. That's even worse than Flash.

  16. Re:Considering how well they did in the past... on World Cup Forecasting Challenge For Quants · · Score: 1

    It's nice to see someone confuse Slovenia and Slovenia in the right direction for once.

  17. Re:PDF is not an eBook format on Publishers Campaign For Universal E-Book Format · · Score: 1

    PDF is 100% useless... It's really sad that these days much of html content is useless too, due to too much use of fixed layout CSS instead of free flowing text and some tables.

  18. Re:End of Firefox? on Firefox With H.264 HTML 5 Support = Wild Fox · · Score: 1

    I prefer it because of Zoom text only. Otherwise, I'd have to use Readability on even more sites.

  19. Re:hundreds of tabs on Mozilla Reveals Firefox 4 Plans · · Score: 1

    I tested 5000 tabs yesterday (opened month or two of history -> crash)

  20. Re:H.264 support? on Mozilla Reveals Firefox 4 Plans · · Score: 1

    Firefox can be used by 6+ billion people. Will you pay?

  21. Re:Who laughed? on Volcanic Ash Heading Towards North America · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for the next Top Gear: buy an old car in Greece, drive to north of France, add some float barrels and drive across the Channel. Faster than flying, again.

  22. Re:Avoiding conflict on VisLab Sponsors Milan-to-Shanghai Driverless Trek · · Score: 1

    > The mission will start on July 10 in Milan, Italy and will reach Shanghai, China on October 10 (10/10/10) on a 13.000 km route though Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, and finally China.

    There's some confusion about the route...

  23. Re:puddlestomper on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    I suspect this will on average just make it use more power.

  24. Re:Might be particularly applicable to Java on Memory Management Technique Speeds Apps By 20% · · Score: 1

    Java allocation might be more optimized than malloc. But garbage collections is often slower than free, for large apps (practical observation).

  25. Re:Touch on Apple iPad Reviewed · · Score: 1

    For me, the problem is not clicking, but dragging.
    It starts feel like nails on the blackboard.
