  1. Re:It's not over for Mozilla after all on Examining Chrome's Source Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The target is to control the platform that they write all their software for.

  2. Re:About time. on Senate Hearing On Laptop Seizures At US Border · · Score: 1

    So... only 99% of netizens. And I'm pretty sure a 'USB key drive' can be copied too :O

  3. Security Issue? on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 1

    Will it be networked with the vehicle's computer? I hope not. Could be the first crash caused by a worm :)

  4. Re:Great! on Cookbook For Third-Party Apps On iPhone · · Score: 1

    Good question, considering that all the AT&T iPhone plans come with unlimited data (think VoIP).

  5. Private External Door for Pilot? on Remote Control To Prevent Aircraft Hijacking · · Score: 1

    Why not just completely isolate the cockpit by making the door to it external?

    That, combined with a policy where the pilot severs all contact with the passenger compartment immediately upon learning of a hijacking. That way, they can't make threats or demands. For a hijacker to negotiate, they will need communication.

    Maybe include some microphones and/or cameras throughout the passenger compartment that can be switched on and monitored from the ground.

  6. Finite Space? on Is the Universe a Hall of Mirrors? · · Score: 1

    How can space have a shape / size? Isn't space technically just.. space? How can something that doesn't exist be measured? Space is just our concept of nothingness.

  7. Re:Not gonna happen on Vista the End of An Era? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I remember hearing somewhere that Microsoft considers the biggest competitor to Office to be the previous version of Office.

  8. Re:6,000 pages (in what format?) on Microsoft Wins Industry Standard Status for Office · · Score: 1

    When I worked for Microsoft, there was a special term used for specifications that were written after the code: a retrospec :)
