  2. Re:Can I run Fennec on my desktop? on Firefox 4 Beta For Mobile Now Faster and Sleeker · · Score: 1

    Can I run Fennec on my desktop? Pretty please?

    Yes you can

  3. Blazing?!? on Next iPhone — Front-Facing Camera, A4 Processor · · Score: 1

    Why is the A4 blazing? Isn't it just another ARM derivate?

  4. Re:Really fun browser on Meet Uzbl — a Web Browser With the Unix Philosophy · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but no.

    A private session should just be a new browser with a new/clean profile, no changes to or from the default one.
    Destroying that new profile when the private session ends.

    And since Uzbl uses a different process for each window/tab this is quite easy to implement.

  5. Re:Awesome stuff on The Video Bay, Now In Beta · · Score: 1

    No, it's still free, just not libre.

    ..., or it would break our understanding of physics in sort of a big way.

    I thought the Earth was flat!

    Seconded!

  10. Re:This isn't the Matrix... on Matrix-Like VR Coming in the Near Future? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe they use some sort of distributed processing, like, when you're drunk they're actually using your brains ad-hoc to do calculations, (we're also asleep 8 hrs a day)

  11. Re:I'll accept it in your stead on Upgrade Trick Still Present In Vista SP1 · · Score: 1

    Except that ESX doesn't

  12. Re:Well, Apple is *my* friend! :-P on Apple Crippled Its DTrace Port · · Score: 1

    Among other things, the Finder and CoreGraphics are DRM'd,
    try running those on your regular x86 PC.

  13. I Know! on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    >He reasons that if reality was to do something that information processing cannot, then it cannot be virtual."
    Reality can be round, we cannot calculate pi.

  15. Re:Ubuntu on Linux Foundation's Desktop Linux Survey Results · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I myself have started using Debian sid,
    can't do without apt-get but Ubuntu is going the wrong way (for me)

  16. Re:transitionary distro? on Mandriva Linux 2008 Now Available · · Score: 1

    Nope, the trick is "sudo passwd", set the new root password and use root or su - whenever you want.

  17. PHP Shell? on Windows PowerShell in Action · · Score: 1

    That's why I love PHP, print_r('$whatever');

  18. Re:Has the RIAA won any court cases on RIAA Defendant Says Kazaa Settlement Bars Case · · Score: 1

    "The library doesn't generate new copies of the content (though I believe they are legally allowed to do it 3x times), while your computer creates new copies of the content as it "shares"."

    Your computer must make copies to even play a song (copying the bits from the cd to the sound card).

    But IMO consumers should be left out of the whole Intellectual Property discussion/thing, the only ones you should prosecute are those who violate copyright commercially.

  19. Re:Well on the upside on Blue Screen of Death for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Try setting it to do a kernel memory dump and check your %windir% for memory dumps. Then download the symbols and debugger from microsoft and be surprised.

  20. Mac on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    My first was a Mac plus 1024 KB, and really the only thing i did on it was play microsoft flight sim and a golf game :)
    second pc was a Mac LC II 8mb
    then a p1 133mhz 64 mb
    then a amd athlon 1400 512mb
    and now an athlonxp 3200+ 1gb and a 3 ghz p4 laptop/heater.

  21. WORMS on Games That Keep You Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    I am surprised no-one mentioned WORMS yet. I like the 2d versions, and played Worms World Party most often (ninja rope master :) )

  22. Bad UI, Bad... on What Will The Future Desktop Interface Look Like? · · Score: 1

    "Objects in a functional 3D interface should probably be represented with models that are familiar, just like the icons on your desktop are often imitations of familiar real-world objects. This is a PSA property. On the other hand, tree-based organizational systems would be well advised. Very much an ARA concept."

    This is a bad thing.
    Just because we know how to eat and how to handle a fork and knive doesn't mean that we should build cars that you can drive like the way you eat.
    Or, closer related, a bike has handlebars with brakes on them, would you like a handlebar with brakes in your car, or would you rather have the brakes at your feet?

    Computers are seperate things and should have separate user interfaces thet you have to learn.
    It's the computer's versatility that confuses us.
