  1. Re:As long as it doesn't provide for Flash... on Apple Approves Opera Mini For iPhone · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but it's about the ARM processor and not the OS. I have an N900 with the same CPU as the 3GS, and my phone has flash. It runs youtube fine. Games are obviously very slow, but performance is pretty acceptable.

    Troll!

    Copyleft was invented to counteract copyrighted code. People who use copyleft won't let people abuse the licenses until we can abuse copyright.

    You know it hasn't actually been censored, right?

    Mod +1 funny for obvious reasons.

  9. Re:I'm so going to get flamed... on Sun Announces New MySQL, Michael Widenius Forks · · Score: 1

    I think you're forgetting the part where Sun can then get back the code from the fork. And Sun still has just as much control of their own version, as they have just as many devs working on it.

    I think what you really mean is this: If you are open sourcing your main product in hopes of sacrificing direct purchase revenue for free developer time, you run the risk of alienating your community and losing developer time if they decide you aren't doing a good job.

  10. Re:Not Much Cross-Platform on F-Secure Suggests Ditching Adobe Reader For Free PDF Viewers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That definitely goes to show the value of providing functionality via general, well-conceived and well-implemented frameworks instead of being wrapped up inside of monolithic applications.

    As someone that doesn't want or have the macintosh os, that value is 0..

    Updates don't work for non-administrator accounts... The Firefox developers "fixed" this issue by not even notifying the user when updates are available.

    As it should be. The system administrator should be responsible for updating software, especially if the user can't do it themselves.

  14. Re:Clever but... on Using Conficker's Tricks To Root Out Infections · · Score: 1

    Isn't the biggest problem with worms like Conficker the fact that most of the affected users are totally unaware that they have it.

    How can you post a question without a question mark. Does this confuse your brain.

  15. Re:What about MySQL? on Oracle Buys Sun · · Score: 1

    Nah. PostgreSQL has won. We just haven't managed to persuade the MySQL users that they've lost yet. ;)

    I think they just haven't figured out how to pronounce PostgreSQL yet ;)

    Ah, it was an errant entry into ad-block that was stopping access. Weird. Thanks for your help in figuring out what it was!

    Thank you for your help.
    I'm very sure that the source code of the page contains "" and various other oddities. I can, however, access the url "s.fsdn.com/sd/core-tidied.css?T_2_5_0_252a" just fine. It's the preceding // that's messing firefox up.

  20. Re:I don't know where to post this... on Robo-Arm Signatures Are Legal, Gov't Buys One · · Score: 1

    Ooooh, it says it's loading all the stylesheets from "//s.fsdn.com/sd/core-tidied.css?T_2_5_0_252a" and such malformed urls. It's missing the http! Firefox can't access those URLs. Is this a bug in slashcode?

    I can load both of those URLs.
