  1. Re:And what about evercookie? on Chrome, IE To Allow Users To Delete Flash Cookies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    File a bug on the Chrome bug tracker. The latest I can find is that Chrome should be erasing it all if you use Incognito, except for the Flash LSO.

  2. Re:sorry ... what?! on Leaked Doc May Have Forced US To Speed Up Bin Laden Raid · · Score: 1

    From what I've read they were certain a major terrorist was hiding there, they just weren't sure if it was Osama or not. It would have been a win either way I'm sure.

  3. Re:No problems here - No option to use Unity on Ubuntu Unity: The Great Divider · · Score: 2

    Bingo, though it's "unity-2d". I use RDP with my ubuntu computer so no hardware acceleration, and it works just fine. Only real difference is that reordering windows in the taskbar requires you to click and hold the icon for a bit before dragging, whereas in normal Unity you drag the icon out of the bar and drag it back in at the drop point.

  4. Re:Um, how on Google Wants Your Voice Data · · Score: 2

    There is a checkmark and an X you can click if the translation is good/bad.

  5. Re:HTTPS on Mediacom Using DPI To Hijack Searches, 404 Errors · · Score: 2

    The web will likely need to go IPv6 first. When you connect to an HTTPS server, the certificate stuff takes place BEFORE your browser even tells the server what [sub]domain you are accessing, so you usually need a dedicated IP for each [sub]domain so the certificates can always match up.

  7. Re:LOL on PSN Outage Continues, Console Hack Claimed To Be Responsible · · Score: 1

    Alright then: multiplayer hackers/cheaters can easily work around bans and start hacking again.

  8. Re:LOL on PSN Outage Continues, Console Hack Claimed To Be Responsible · · Score: 2

    You seemed to have missed the part where dev consoles can get unlimited funds to buy content from the PSN store.

  9. Re:Why is it being removed in the first place? on Sony Should Pay For OtherOS Removal, Says Finnish Board · · Score: 1

    I'm not a PS3 owner but I noticed that there seemed to be no hacks for the PS3 (that I heard of anyway), and I assumed that was because having Linux was "good enough" for most people. I recall hearing about hacks shortly after hearing about Linux removal, and I assume the two were related.

  10. Re:Plugin on RockMelt: Google Chrome, Only Better · · Score: 2

    It wouldn't be laggy, Chrome JS is surprisingly fast. And anything that can't be done in JS can be done through an NPAPI plugin, though I looked into writing one once and it was a bit more complicated than I hoped even to make a "Hello World!" type plugin.

  11. Well... on Chrome Feature Helps Shield Websites From DDoS Attacks · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is just to prevent ACCIDENTAL DoSing. You can turn it off with a command line switch, or simply use another browser or a dedicated DoSing tool.

  12. Re:Law enforcement... on Self-Wiping Hard Drives From Toshiba · · Score: 1

    Even if the system sees the disk as read-only, the drive itself can do whatever it wants as long as its powered.

  13. Law enforcement... on Self-Wiping Hard Drives From Toshiba · · Score: 2

    ...is going to love these.

  14. Re:Moral of the story on Fired Gucci Employee Accused of Attacking Network · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Being fired is likely to piss off someone whether they deserve to be fired or not.

  15. Re:Soon on Inducement To Piracy, Adobe Style · · Score: 2

    Businesses.

  16. Re:pdf on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    Because then users don't feel the need to install Adobe Reader when all they want to do is view PDFs in the browser.

  17. Re:Hey Bloomberg !!! on Google Fiber Comes To Kansas City · · Score: 1

    Sweet, then Philly will get to be the next city!

  18. Oh on Why Mac OS X Is Unsuitable For Web Development · · Score: 1

    I was going to say "I can't test to see if my websites work in IE9." (Note that I no longer care about 6, 7, or 8.)

  19. Re:4 lines of JS... on New York Times Paywall Goes Live, Loopholes Abound · · Score: 1

    Addendum: Wait, NYT actually allows Google referrers anyway, don't they? Ah oh well I thought it was a good theory.

  20. 4 lines of JS... on New York Times Paywall Goes Live, Loopholes Abound · · Score: 2

    NYT probably has to keep the full page intact as opposed to keeping it from loading entirely, because otherwise Google's crawler would only be able to index 25 articles per month. Then they would start treating the Googlebot differently, and as that is against the TOS, Google would block their site.

    So instead they serve the same pages, knowing Googlebot doesn't care about JS (hey, does disabling JS break the paywall?). So they adhere to the letter of Google's TOS and go against the spirit, which I'm sure they're fine with.

  21. Re:Patches? on Phony Web Certs Issued For Google, Yahoo, Skype · · Score: 1

    Chrome does but that feature is off by default (perhaps it is slow?).

  22. Well on Phony Web Certs Issued For Google, Yahoo, Skype · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Time for major browsers to add that issuer to the blacklist, I guess. Or the individual certs, but that's less fun.

    Um, tell their parents?

  24. Because... on Why Doesn't Every Website Use HTTPS? · · Score: 2

    ....every [sub]domain needs a dedicated IP for the certs to work properly.

  25. Re:Microsoft helps the internet on Microsoft Conducts Massive Botnet Takedown Action · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that botnets that infect Windows machines make Microsoft look bad, so they do have a personal interest in taking them down.
