  1. != game currency on BitCoin Gets a Futures Market · · Score: 1

    Game currencies cannot be compared to BitCoin, Game currencies are created at extremely high rate (how much D3 Money created per minute?) and are centralized (by the company server). BitCoin are mathematically restricted and decentralized... that's huge difference. I'm not a bitcoin user [yet] but I think this currency will succeed against all the international trading regulations, fees and delays.

  2. Explain me? SSL is not sufficient? on Jimmy Wales Threatens To Obstruct UK Government Snooping · · Score: 1

    Yes, a good gesture indeed. However, encrypting the packets will not prevent traffic analysis by the UK government. To avoid that, individual users will have to take their own security measures (such as using Tor).

    I'm not sure to understand, if I'm using SSL, my ISP or any computer between me and the web site doesn't know the url I'm requested, he only know the IP address and the size of the file. Tor is a good way for surfing non SSL web site but I think if every web site would be encrypted the web would safe from snooping.

  3. Delete the user profile/account on Ask Slashdot: How To Clean Up My Work Computer Before I Leave? · · Score: 0

    Deleting the account would remove most setting from browser, application, documents, internet history. Then I would check other folder not in the "My Documents" for instance C:\projects....

  4. What % of electricity is lost compare to a wire? on Wireless Car Charger Test Starts In London · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I would like to know how much electricity is lost when using a wireless then a wire.... that seams important to me. Especially that people who drive plug-in car normally care about environment and efficiency. My guess? It's there is a huge chuck of electricity lost. Who care when your charging your iPhone but about a car that seems important to me.

  7. That's why I code in .NET on The Cost of Crappy Security In Software Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    I .NET there is no buffer overflow or html inject (querystring and post data are scanned by default) or sql inject (using SqlParameter all data are encoded). I "feel" a lots safer about basic security problem.

  8. that's the reason I prefer the pirate version on DVDs, Blu-Rays To Show 20-Second Unskippable Govt. Warnings · · Score: 3, Insightful

  9. Yes it's a big win on Mozilla Releases HTML5 MMO BrowserQuest · · Score: 1

    First WebSocket is not raw socket. It's TCP over IP (packet ordering and delivered garanties). The right now, there is no freaking way the server PUSH data to the client. For instance but a very very simple chat room. Everyone in the page type stuff and everyone see it. Well if you don't use WebSocket you need to make sure every single client refresh the page every x seconds. - There will be a lag - There will be huge waiste of bandwith and server processing for nothing. With WebSocket, when someone send a message, you just push it back to the all clients on the page. You can just send a notification that will trigger the browser make jQuery http request to refresh the page, at least you have a way get notification...

  10. WebSocket on Mozilla Releases HTML5 MMO BrowserQuest · · Score: 1

    In my opinion WebSocket is the real technology we are waiting for building stuff on the internet that make people collaboration or play together. Having the ability of the server to push data to the client without having to get a pooling every x seconds or so is a big plus. This game give us a great example of simple communication using WebSocket, too bad it not yet available on all major browser (IE).

  11. The way to go on British Gov't Releases Spending Data · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think that it should be the case for all country all the time, all department should have a drill down budget up the spending. Yes that would add an extra layer but you could remove all the "inspector" and "auditor" because if all data is online, the population and journalism will do that job. Also, many spending will be avoid because they will know it will be fully available online!

  13. Re:Their goal is audacious? on You Won't Recognize the Internet in 2020 · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, they will "try" to have a better control-freak internet but my prediction is that in 10 years, the web will still be IPv4 mainly, html with a bit more JavaScript/flash/Silverlight but won't be rebuild from scratch... the same way email never got rebuild from scratch even if everyone agree with one the worst communication design.

  14. Silverlight on Has a Decade of .NET Delivered On Microsoft's Promises? · · Score: 1

    I've been a .NET programmer since the start 10 years ago as full time and that platform is really improving nicely.

    Just recently I've been started a project in Silverlight and it's so great to use the same syntax and tool, and even 90% of the same code for doing rich application client side.

    Silverlight is only a sub-set/lightweight of the .NET framework.

  15. .NET framework will work as any WinXp application on Microsoft and OLPC Agree To Put XP On the XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    The .NET framework is not memory nor CPU hunger and I think it will work as any application on Windows XP. Office 2007 may not because of the 1gig or hi-definition resources.

  18. Re:Waiting for 2.0 on Little Demand Yet For Silverlight Developers · · Score: 1

    I agree, as a developer in the .NET platform since it release, the silverlight doesn't seems reader. Most tool and application are still beta or alpha. It's sort of Visual beta studio out of a alpha editor with version that still change.

    I'm not the type of guy who is afraid to write part of my html code by hand, but XAML code by hand is not my first choice to start...

    Here is my tips for Microsoft to get more dev:

    - Give us a final build of Silverlight (currently: Silverlight 2 Beta 1!!!)
    - Give us a final build of Visual Studio 2008 (still CTP)
    - Give us a final build of XAML (Expression Blend beta and Expression Blend 2.5 preview doesn't fit as final for me)

    I there is really missing characters? I'm sure they will be added by the Unicode committee. I don't see how UTF-8 cannot be a solution for encoding Unicode even for the complicate language spoken in China.

    So your solution is that all devices and operating system support all dam code-page in the world while Unicode cover 99.99% of all symbols used in a single simple solution!

    "No more doctypes Why? Adding a "version" attribute it just going to break compatibility. The "web" has enough problems with compatibility, lets not inject MORE. Doctypes work fine..." I don't so how the Doctypes haven't broke the standard? Previous browser that were ignoring the those line were rending the data the best as they could... "No more framesets, frames, or iframes. The security properties of these were problematic. Instead we'll have modules. Hmmm... I don't like frames per say. I don't use them. Though, I don't see how modules are going to make things better or easier but more complex. A frame was simple. A window in a window. That's simple..." IFrame is easy... yes, problem come with SECURITY! You place an add with an iframe, and the iframe can control your entire page including adding a key-logger and sending all the data on the Internet... His suggestion would prevent this because you need a send/receive mechanism to talk between each module.

    I'm surprise to you can still use the web today without javascript... or at least you are missing a great part of it. I think the solution is to have secure browser... nothing more.

  24. Re:browser or plugin issue on Adobe Confirms Unpatched PDF Backdoor · · Score: 3, Informative

    The browser should be secure by itself but when a plug-in is installed by the user (like Adobe Acrobat Reader) that plug-in can execute code and do pretty much what it what... so I would not blame IE7 for that. But I'm still happy to never have upgrade to IE7... yet.

  25. Re:Are DynDNS cluebies? on DynDNS Drops Non-Delivery Reports · · Score: 1

    I've send over 100 000 emails to hotmail alone and the server always return a code if a fail action, good are the chance the that software that send the email to hotmail do not take the appropriate action with the code. If DynDNS return that the domain name is invalid or the account do not exist. In my opinion their job is done, the SMTP can return (if not a queue) instantly the error, or generator and delivery failure.
