  1. In their defense on Nicaragua Raids Costa Rica, Blames Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Nicaragua did at one point own that portion of land before they gave it up to Costa Rica officially in 1958. http://www.mycostaricalink.com/blog/costa-rica/545/annexation-of-guanacaste-july-25th/

  2. Were the accused stand guilty on The Ignominious Fall of Dell · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm all for Dell bashing, but what happened to America where the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty. It seems like every lawsuit implies some guilt on the part of the accused? Really?

  3. Re:Thats not new on Google Bringing HTML5 To Gmail · · Score: 1

    They do (in Chrome), just drag an image file to the body instead of the attachment area.

  4. Re:Does the droid and iPhone do this?! on Android Sales Surpass iPhone Sales · · Score: 1

    Yes, you can RDP on Android. Not sure about iPhone.

  5. Re:Why bother ... on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But will it run Crysis? No mod points, but parent is right. Technology like this will move real games into the browser. I won't be long before the DirectX toolset it setup to render in HTML5. If Microsoft can grab this then their little netbooks with shared GPU could actually push out some decent gaming and graphic capabilities to you live in a browser (without the need for hard drives).

  6. Not a new concept on HP's New Data Center Cooled By Glacial Wind · · Score: 1

    We have been doing this in Montana for a long time. When the AC units get frozen over we start pumping filtered air from the outside into the server room.

  7. Re:Where's the... on Murderer With "Aggression Genes" Gets Reduced Sentence · · Score: 1

    No will is truly free. Free will is such a misnomer. There are always limitations in the system.

  8. Re:The beef of Bluetooth is in profiles, not the l on Wi-Fi Direct Overlaps Bluetooth Territory For Connecting Devices · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up, Bluetooth 3 is on the right track. WiFi radios are so battery expensive, but hugely beneficial in transferring large data files. BT3 will have the ability for the profile to initiate a secure direct WiFi connection only for the life span of the transfer and then turn off the radios again thus keeping this as low-power impacting as possible. Until someone comes up with low power WiFi, BT will be around for a long time.

  10. I call FUD on Montana City Requires Workers' Internet Accounts · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This sounds like FUD to me. A quick look at the application for employment doesn't have anything like this on the forms. http://www.bozeman.net/bozeman/humanResource/forms/Application%20for%20Employment.pdf I'm not sure where this news organization gets their info, but that doesn't sound right.

  11. Re:Split-horizon DNS on Dealing With ISPs That Use NXDomain Redirection? · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. This is the solution. You should not be relying on external DNS to resolve internal IP assets.

  12. Re:One thing that has always irked me... on AMD Employee Charged With Stealing Intel Secrets · · Score: 1

    Depends on your contract with work. If you are truly "working" on the clock when you are at home (e.g., dabbling in some work whilst inventing things) then it could be construed as company intellectual property. Clean lines. Make them.

  13. Re:Chrome is spyware! on Google Chrome, Day 2 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Goto "Under the Hood" in options and uncheck the anonymous statistics submission. Alternatively you can go to your Services and set the Google Updater Service to Disabled. Easy enough.

  14. Re:It's like a dance! on New Details For Battle.net 2.0 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Not necessarily backwards as they are overcome some of the slowness of the old LAN days. Doesn't anyone else remember having to install IPX to get Starcraft to work? :) We frequently have LAN parties with World of Warcraft with a single cable modem connection and can all play easily without a hitch. The downside is having to have an internet connection, but the fact is internet is so ubiquitous these days it shouldn't make a difference.

  15. Mashup with Amazon S3 on Google Open Sources Browser Sync · · Score: 1

    Rather than "trust" some third-party with our data, someone should mod the extension to work with S3 so all you provide is an S3 account and then synching stuff with S3.

  16. Re:I think I lost my Super Geek certificate on MagLev, Ruby VM on Gemstone OODB, Wows RailsConf · · Score: 1

    i wish i had mod points for you. i'm with you on this one.

  17. Two Weeks Paid on Getting Rid of Staff With High Access? · · Score: 1

    When anyone in the IT department gives their notice we send them home with 2 weeks paid.

  18. Re:I'm offended on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sounds like we need to make a Firefox plugin that notifies us when we surf to a Network Solutions hosted site (what is their ASN range?)

  19. No more love on Google And Microsoft Cross Swords Over Yahoo! · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I guess this means Christmas cards are out of the question this year.

  21. End of Infringement on Professor Michael Geist on Vista's Fine Print · · Score: 1

    It sounds like this guy is ticked because Microsoft closed up the core to its vendors. Symantec and McAfee were also up in arms over the model in Vista. So basically he is saying that Microsoft should put back in the very security holes and bugs that they set out to fix with this version. Does this mean the crackers need to get a day job? Either way they do it someone is going to have his sensationalist FUD and tell you how what-Microsoft-is-doing-is-wrong.

  22. Re:EVDO and absolutely on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    Nice company. Unfortunately there is no hardware solution yet that works in native OSX for EVDO.

  23. Re:EVDO and absolutely on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    Been checking that site daily. We are waiting for the V640 card mostly because Apple is shipping drivers for this at the same time (knock on wood). Our users don't want to switch to bootcamp or run parallels when they have entourage running natively.

  24. EVDO and absolutely on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    I absolutely agree that this perfect storm is on the horizon. At my company we will be a part of this storm when we convert all of our management team to MacBook Pro(s) from their current Dell D610(s). The only thing we are waiting for is EVDO cards. Apple made the smart move and switched out the card architecture from CardBus to ExpressCard which is a great platform. Unfortunately there is no (working in OS X) EVDO ExpressCards. An EVDO card is used by companies like Verizon and Sprint to provide broadband access nationwide. Dell started moving their laptops to ExpressCard and have released a card that works in Bootcamp, but our team needs/wants native OSX. I don't blame them. Here's hoping the storm doesn't delay our orders.
