  1. Evidence? on Court Asked To Strike All MediaSentry Evidence · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wasn't aware that anything MediaSentry has brought into court was anywhere near something we'd call evidence. Vague screenshots, unverifyable logs?

  2. Re:How about earth? on Using Light's Handedness To Find Alien Life · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What 'handedness' is earth?

    I have no idea. But I'm not sure it matters. Even if Earth was perfectly neutral the method still works. If the presumption is true then any planet significantly away from average would indicate life. Even if it wouldn't find planets with life that were average.

  3. Re:Why are you using Vista in the first place? on WGA Under Vista SP1 Is Kinder and Nags More · · Score: 1

    In all honesty it is right for tablets.

  4. Re:Does it do real time error highlighting? on Inside Visual Studio 2008 · · Score: 1

    Poor C++. I checked and built in support for C++ was included in 2005. I've never quite understood how Microsoft can keep its strange leap frog functionality between 'similar' types of things.

  5. Re:Does it do real time error highlighting? on Inside Visual Studio 2008 · · Score: 1

    I'm quite certain all versions of VS for at least the last 8 years have done that. Plugin? Maybe it doesn't in your language of choice?

  7. Re:What?! on Netcraft Says IIS Gaining on Apache · · Score: 1

    Actually Windows does support symlinks. You just won't find a tool to create/edit/delete from within the basic Explorer. NTFS has supported them for a long time. I've done what you're proposing with IIS.

  8. Requires Javascript to work. on Tracking Users Via the Browser's Cache · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So it still doesn't work on some of us.

  9. The real annoyance. on Microsoft Sees Future in IPTV · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not ads or commercials but: How much DRM and proprietary hardware will be needed to view it?

  10. Re:Because I can! on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    The idiot masses are amazingly gullible.

  11. Re:Because I can! on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    You can remove them from TV as long as you aren't watching Live. Also does anyone actually buy magazines anymore? Advertising doesn't work on most of us.
