  1. Re:Help Spammers Sidestep Site Registration on Helping Surfers Sidestep Site Registration · · Score: 1

    Why not just requiring to answer a CAPTCHA while posting?

  2. Re:This is wrong. on Google Base To Replace Froogle · · Score: 1

    You are joking but if Google allowed me to filter out a list of hostnames that *I* choose, I would be happier.

    It can even be persistent as I already logged into my google/gmail account.

    The problem is that Photo Editor is not bundled with Office 2003.

    Using a password management software disguised as a picture gallery... Very clever indeed.

    I believe the parent poster meant C# as a better Java and CLR as a better JVM, not J++ and MS-JVM.

    Then you have no gain from compression.

  7. Electronic Contact Cleaner on Cleaning Electronics with Sugar · · Score: 1

    I find that the best and easiest way to remove stickers is to use an electronic contact cleaner spray. It won't harm the plastic or electronic parts and won't leave any sticky marks.

    Just peel a few milimeters off the edge and spray through the opening. Wait for a few minutes for the spray to diffuse and dissolve the glue. The sticker will peel of by itself.

    You know, because of Slashdotting... DOS just can't handle a DDOS.

    You can use a CD-RW for updates but how do you know that a similar program does not exist for CDs?

  12. Re:I can already see it... on Amazon Betas 'Elastic' Grid Computing Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    They sell the bandwidth separately and it's not cheap.

    If their claims are true and they would be tapping e.g. the vacuum energy (possibly in a similar way as a heat pump) the E=mc^2, the laws of thermodynamics etc, would still be valid.
    They claim the opposite. From their "Our Technology" page: "Steorn's technology appears to violate the 'Principle of the Conservation of Energy'"

  19. Re:Statistics about click fraud shown to Adwords u on How Google Manages Click Fraud · · Score: 1

    While it's true that revealing too many information is an information security problem, they are in a position that most advertisers believe that Google AdWords has more invalid clicks than other competitors. They have to prove (or at least, show) something to keep customers.

    Let's not forget that Java is backed by industry leaders, and aimed at enterprise world. Ruby was a hobby language until the last few years.

  23. Re:That's because Notes isn't an email client on Lotus Notes For Linux To Be Released By IBM · · Score: 1

    I don't know. The productivity of Lotus Notes development is unmatched. The famous "blog with Ruby-on-Rails in 15 minutes" video seems like a joke to Notes developers. In 15 minutes, any mediocre Notes developer can build a blog/forum, with strong security, replication (multiple servers and/or client to server), offline working with Notes client and full text search capabilities.

  24. Re:Get out of the client business on Lotus Notes For Linux To Be Released By IBM · · Score: 1
    Its time for IBM to let Evolution and the other great mail clients out there to talk to Notes


    It is already possible. Mail part is easy, Domino server can already run as an IMAP server. For other applications developed on Notes, the architecture is still open. You can use COM automation on Windows, Java library or web services for every platform. You can clone almost every aspect of Notes client using these connectivity options. The problem is that the functionality of Notes/Domino is so sophisticated that it requires so much work.
  25. Re:Actually, it's a good thing, on Lotus Notes For Linux To Be Released By IBM · · Score: 1

    They were already porting Domino Designer to Eclipse framework (for all OSes). Probably with the Hannover release they will announce that, too.
