  1. know what I'm typing in the URL bar on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1

    sometimes in the URL bar I type an address.
    sometimes I type a keyword I want to search on.
    sometimes I type the name of a package I want to search packages.debian.org for
    sometimes I type a sentence, including punctuation.
    sometimes I want to download, sometimes I want to view.
    sometimes I'm looking for something which I've looked for before, and it's in my history but I dont know where.

    if someone else does it, and I've been watching their browsing habits, I can figure it out. The browser should figure it out too.

  2. Re:Screw machine learning... on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    see, that's what I meant about explaining what you meant. You say browsers have never had the feature of "searchable bookmarks", but browsers do have that feature, just not the feature you're now describing.
    I knew that's what you probably meant, but you could have also been blind or something.

    Please explain the inadequecies of the current ability to search bookmarks which exists in several browsers today.

  4. Re:Great Idea, but.. on Green Energy From Manhattan's East River · · Score: 1

    the point remains, however, an energy solution in which one of the steps isnt the archaic "move water around, spin a turbine with it" would be nice. I dont know... I want some magic, I guess. Seems like if we're dealing with sub-atomic particles, we should be shoving sub-atomic particles down the line more directly. Does anyone have links to theories related to this, maybe?

  5. Re:ooo! oo! meme me! on A Six-Step Plan for Apple · · Score: 1

    yesterday.
    What do I win?

    Now that wasnt blatant at all!

  8. Re: Nuke anything on Building a Better Mozilla With Plugins · · Score: 1

    Woops, there goes your post :)

  9. It's called "Screen" on Jumping From Computer To Computer · · Score: 1

    I know, it's not at all the same thing, but it is a little be similar in application.. somewhat.. if you squint and turn your head a little... in the fog..
    but still! :)

  10. You are not everyone. on P2P Networks Blamed For Software Losses Doubling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Note that many, many people are currently infected with trojans, then do the math.

  11. Re:Cheap harddrives would make a good backup syste on Bulk Data Storage For The Common Man? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm sorry, you said "A pop" so I didnt read the rest of your comment. You can go fuck yourself, though.

  12. Re:Ask the idiot who posted the parent on Bulk Data Storage For The Common Man? · · Score: 1

    Do you think google expects 1,000,000 users to use 1GB within a year? They offer that because they know most people arent going to use it, and that by the time that isnt true anymore there will be new technologies available.

  13. Re:Confirmed kills? on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    maybe you dont quite understand "confirmed to have been destroyed".. I'll phrase it differently:
    "confirmed to have been destroyed"

    oh wait, that's the same way of putting it. I guess there's no way to be clearer than that.

  14. Confirmed kills? on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    Dont they keep track of cars which can be confirmed to have been destroyed? Why not re-use numbers?

  15. Re:shhh on NewsForge Reviews Excel Clone for Linux · · Score: 1

    dont tell the linux users.. they think all integration is a security flaw

  16. Re:Very insightful troll on Spider-Man in India · · Score: 1

    it all makes sense now! The end of the dotcom boom was a result of poor presidential leadership!

  17. Re:Looking for the tech help questions on Unplugging Email To Combat Spam · · Score: 1

    because so many clueless users run their own SMTP servers.

  18. Re:Who goes there? on U.S. Supreme Court: Public Anonymity No Right · · Score: 1

    My reason for not wanting to give out my name or other identifying information (aside from considering it rude to ask someone their name) is generally because I dont want to be arrested in the future based on the work of a bunch of statistitians.

  19. Who goes there? on U.S. Supreme Court: Public Anonymity No Right · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Am I suspected of a crime?"
    "No, but you must identify yourself when asked."
    "Well in that case I refuse."
    "You are under arrest!"

    --or--

    "Am I suspected of a crime?"
    "Yes, actually. So who are you?"
    "I'm not telling!"
    "Move along, then."

    I think this little uncertainty will be sorted out in short order.

    how the hell am I supposed to make Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix sound professional?

  21. Laser does not harm the eyes on Next Generation Stun Guns? · · Score: 1

    "The laser is said not to harm the eyes"
    though we do suspect that due to the laser's purpose, shining it in someone's eyes will lead to permanent eye damage.

    find the closest available human and get them to explain what you did wrong.

  23. Plain text? Local/system accounts? on Thunderbird 0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    I installed thunderbird yesterday and couldnt find any way to completely disable HTML (that is, when HTML is sent to me, display the raw tags, by default, and offer/send no "markup" when composing messages), nor could I find a way to check my local/system mail. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place, but from google it seems that no one else has ever considered doing this before.

  24. breaking the curse on Movie-Based Videogames - Not Actually That Bad? · · Score: 1

    Riddick wasnt a great movie to videogame conversion, it was yet another horrible videogame to movie conversion. Did these reviewers not see the movie?
