  1. Google Sitemaps on Google and Yahoo! Working Together On Better Web Indexing · · Score: 1

    Google has had this for a while now. I had noticed that development has been healthy recently. whereas before it was a relatively unnecessary tool, now it's actually useful.

    if it's as useful as Google Sitemaps, then I'm happy with today's news. the protocol does look pretty similar (and by pretty similar, I mean the XML structure is virtually identical). I'm guessing porting Google Sitemaps over to this new one will be painless.

  2. Hmmm on PS3 Problems Cause Sony Stocks to Slide · · Score: 1

    I don't think the PS3 will be as disastrous as some people are saying. One thing is sure: it won't enjoy anywhere close to the massive runaway success that the PS2 enjoyed, but it will still be the market leader for the next generation at least.

    Besides, Sony have made way more messups recently than just the PS3. Surely those are to blame for the stock slide as well?

    Do not shake.

  4. Re:I am sure they have thought of this already.. on Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market · · Score: 1

    or when a server bans the sale of certain weapons, such as the AWP, which is banned on half of all the CS:S servers currently running. this only made me laugh.

  5. cool! on eDonkey Pays the Recording Industry $30M · · Score: 5, Funny

    now when I want to know my IP address, I can get a free threatening message with it! awesome.

  6. Duh on Why the iPod is Losing its Cool · · Score: 5, Insightful

    it's basic business. product lifecycles are virtually all the same. launch, rise, saturation and decline. right now ipod reaching saturation, and it will go into decline sooner or later. that said, it is still very profitable for Apple, and the brand is still stupidly strong. it will most likely stay like that for a few more years at least.

    this is news?

  7. Yes, but on A Truly Silent Home Theater PC Built for Linux · · Score: 1

    does it run Windows?

  8. Re:System of a Down? on Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK · · Score: 1
  9. You know what they say.. on Half-Life 2 Episode 2 Delayed into 2007 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good things come to those who wait. HL2 was definitely worth the long wait.

  10. Re:Check the toilet. on P2P Defendant Destroys Evidence, Case Defaults · · Score: 1

    but that would clog the internet tubes! D:

  11. Re:Question? on Pirate Party Launches Commercial Darknet · · Score: 1

    that happens more often than you might think. sometimes the flicker of light that a sniper rifle lens reflects is the only thing you can see, and therefore the only thing an enemy sniper can aim for.

  12. when Firefox becomes as insecure as IE on Mozilla VP Talks the State of Firefox · · Score: -1, Troll

    we'll move to Opera ;)

  13. nu-uh. on So How Do You Code an AJAX Web Page? · · Score: 1

  14. A similar method for HTML & CSS on Replacing Humans with Software Inspectors · · Score: 1

    I haven't read the article true /. stylee, but I'm going to go ahead and assume it's about using code checkers to check code is valid. I use W3's markup and css validation services for this purpose. If I get a problem (or even if I don't), as a first step, I run the code through their validation services.

  15. Re:But Barbie means.. on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 1

    haha, you really do learn something every day.

    tell me, what does furby mean?

    actually, don't tell me.

    *shudder*

  16. Re:Meta tags? Does this even matter? on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 2, Informative
    the meta description tag can be very useful. it's the tag that search engines use to show the little blurb below the page's title on their results pages. e.g.
    Slashdot (title) Source for technology related news with a heavy slant towards Linux and Open Source issues. (description)
    the keywords tag is useless though -- and that's probably what you meant, I just wanted to clarify that for anyone reading your post.
  17. Re:Isn't it a bit late for that? on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 1

    correct. the only major meta tag that the main search engines use is the Description, which it shows on the results pages, below the page's title. there are others, like the robots tag, that have limited uses. the keywords tag is pretty much useless, and in fact, if used incorrectly, can actually harm a website's ranking.

    this bill is nothing more than some politicians trying to show concerned parents that they have a purpose, when in fact they're about as useless as keywords ;)

  18. There's a lot of competition then on $5000 Award for Open Source CMS · · Score: 3, Informative
  19. WordPress? on $5000 Award for Open Source CMS · · Score: 2, Informative

    WordPress is a very competent open source CMS.

  20. Re:In related news on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 1

    actually those links are for what type of search you're doing (images, shopping, etc.), so it's logical that they're above the search box.

  21. Wrong on Google Accessible Search Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A common misconception is that website accessibility only benefits blind people. Accessible, semantically-structured websites are good for many things, most notably Search Engine Optimisation and cutting down on bandwidth. How's that for financial benefit?

  22. Re:I think not on Firefox Usage Climbing · · Score: 2, Informative

    1. NoScript works with all versions of Firefox now and is available from the Mozilla Add-ons site.

    AniDisable is available from the author's website, and is apparently compatible with versions 0.9 - 1.5, although I've not personally confirmed this.

    FlashBlock is also available on the Mozilla Add-ons site, and is apparently compatible with versions 1.41 - 1.6. Again, I haven't personally tried this extension, but I've seen no comments that lead me to believe that it isn't compatible with the latest final version of Firefox.

    Tab Mix Plus is also available on the Mozilla Add-ons site, and is apparently compatible with versions 1.0 - 1.6. Once again, I haven't personally tried this extension.

    2. Incremental search? Do you mean "Find As You Type?" If so, this isn't exactly a new feature, and it can easily be disabled in the Options menu (Advanced tab).

    3. As for this so-called "Nullplugin" thing — I have no idea what you're on about. It's not a problem I've come accross. Tried uninstalling Firefox, removing your userdata (remember to back up your bookmarks!) and then installing the latest version?

  23. Re:Woah on Microsoft To Release 'iPod Killer' at Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Won't people just buy the songs from iTunes, knowing that they'll get them from Microsoft for free? That way they'll have two versions for the price of one.

  24. The music made Silent Hill really scary on Being Scared in Games is Needed · · Score: 1

    Let me just get one thing off my chest: I am obsessed with Silent Hill. And more specifically, Silent Hill composer, sound designer and now producer: Akira Yamaoka. I have been in love with the games for years, ever since I first played the original on the PS1. The main reason — but I stress, not the only reason — for that is the music and sound. Akira Yamaoka has made four truly wonderful soundtracks that make Silent Hill what it is. Try playing Silent Hill with no sound, I guarantee you that it will be much less scary.
