  1. Re:* Stops download of newest Firefox * on Serious Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.12 · · Score: 1

    Have _you_ ever looked at the mozilla codebase? It's a mess, and it's no wonder that not many people are looking at it.

  2. Re:1st censorship death sentence on Internet Censorship's First Death Sentence? · · Score: 1

    Before the USSR invaded afghanistan, it really wasn't that bad. Go read "The Kite Runner"

  3. ISPs are no longer common carriers on ISP Inserting Content Into Users' Webpages · · Score: 1

    Supreme court ruled that broadband ISPs are "Information Services" and can selectively block traffic as they please. However, wouldn't altering the contents of data flowing over their networks, or forging RST packets ala Comcast leave rogers/comcast liable for committing fraud?

  4. Re:Why stop there? on Microsoft Withdraws Vista's Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    You must not be a developer then. I've had to compile libraries from source on windows, and it is a pain in the ass. Some libraries will be nice enough to give you an installer (like QT4) but others are 10x as hard to install in windows as in linux (such as FLTK)

  5. Why... on Web Traffic Snarls Sites on Black Friday · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why don't these huge stores buy servers that can take the strain? sure, they may be ridiculously overpowered for most of the year, but being able to function on black friday is extremely important for their bottom line.

  6. Re:Result is specific to AoM? on 'Neurotic' is Best RTS strategy · · Score: 1

    Dunno about civ 4, i'd bet that the best RTS to test this out would be Supreme Commander.

  7. Re:FINALLY! on ASUS Motherboard Ships With Embedded Linux · · Score: 1

    the nforce drivers are built into the kernel, if i'm not mistaken.

  8. Re:Bad info in article. on Amazon MP3 Vs. iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    It's the 2nd most popular online music store if you count sales.

  9. Re:I don't care about HD Video... on HD VMD Shows Up Late For the Format War · · Score: 1

    How the hell does 12 gigs work out to 350 cds? should be about 13

  10. Millions of dollars in R&D+Production vs. RPG on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Wait till these $400K robots get taken out by an RPG

  11. Re:Consumers Plead sell Vista at a reasonable Pric on Microsoft Pleads With Consumers to Adopt Vista Now · · Score: 1

    Due to changes in the driver stack, it's likely that vista will never have as good of 3d performance as with XP drivers. Most of the video driver runs in userspace on vista.

  12. Re:Games like this do affect people on Manhunt 2 Ban Fallout, Game Rated AO By ESRB · · Score: 1

    It's possible that you may naturally have violent tendencies which you have repressed.

  13. Very good question. on Is Cash No Longer Legal Tender? · · Score: 1

    I have never been able to get an answer. Why won't people just accept cash? Isn't all money the same?

  14. Re:Oh noes, some other country may pull its weight on US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics · · Score: 1

    The UK isn't nearly as large as the US though. We NEED cheap oil or else our economy will collapse

  15. Eclipse and Netbeans are excellent on Linux Programmer's Toolbox · · Score: 1

    I highly recommend both eclipse and netbeans, they are great

  16. Re:nVidia blob isn't crap. on Insight Into AMD's Linux Driver Development · · Score: 1

    Seriously, i have no idea why people bitch about the nvidia 3d drivers for linux. The nvidia driver works flawlessly for this 8800GTX on linux.

  17. Cue the vi versus emacs flamewars on GNU Coughs Up Emacs 22 After Six Year Wait · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    vi > emacs *ducks*

  18. There is one for the USA on British Civil Liberties Film Released · · Score: 1

    There is one: "America: Freedom to Fascism" Full movie here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-165688030 3867390173 site: http://freedomtofascism.com/

  19. Our government is no longer ruled by the people on US Opposes G8 Climate Proposals · · Score: 1

    I encourage you to watch America: Freedom to Fascism

  20. Re:YRO? on Backyard Chefs Fired Up Over Infrared Grills · · Score: 1

    If you're out grilling, then your right to waste your time on /. is being violated.

  21. A government concerned with it's citizens privacy? on EU Questions Google Privacy Policy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow! I now owe my friend 20 bucks! Damn, I never thought I'd lose that bet.

  22. Re:TPS reports on Ceiling Height May Affect Problem-Solving Skills · · Score: 1

    I GOT THE MEMO

  23. Not all open-source is the same on You Can Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You can support BSD without supporting copyright, as it doesn't take advantage of many copyright protections. You can't support GPL without supporting copyright, as it would be unenforceable without copyright.

  24. Lasers? on DARPA Developing Defensive Plasma Shield · · Score: 5, Funny

    Any chance we can put them on sharks? I believe that would greatly increase the lethality of the lasers.

  25. Good on MySpace is Free Speech, Case Overturned · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It's time that they stopped treating us High School students like we're animals, and started respecting our rights. I'm sick of the feeling that I'm a second class citizen, without the rights of adults. The school should have no say on what we do outside of school grounds. "The land of the free [unless you're a kid]"
