  1. Re:uTorrent on Making BitTorrent Clients Prioritize By Geography? · · Score: 1

    rtorrent is an excelent idea but it has a big problem. It doesn't start all .torrent files that I give it :( Deluge starts all torrents that rtorrent doesn't.

  2. Re:Nice accident... on Accident Could Lead To Better Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    Hey! There are hobbist photographers among us! :P And we want more clarity and more megapixels! And there are professionals too (I'm not one of them though).

  3. Re:Very simple.... on Arranging Electronic Access For Your Survivors? · · Score: 1

    Why openssl and not gpg? At least gpg can run on windows and mac with a few clicks away.

  4. Re:Why not Konqueror? on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 1

    I was so eager to try it when I heard about it, but Konq on Win32 didn't run for me :(

  5. Re:how on Internet Explorer 8 Delayed Until 2009 · · Score: 1

    IE also allows powerful intranet applications and custom security zones that can also be configured centrally - yes, this feature has been the source of many a security problem, but businesses don't buy computers because they're secure, but because they solve business problems.

    Aaaaand isn't security a (business) problem?

  6. Re:That's awesome but... on 10 Years of Half-Life · · Score: 1

    You bought the game, right? Okey, you did the right thing for them. Now do the right thing for you and grab yourself a nice pirated version of HL2 and have fun :)

  7. Re:Silverlight on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Of cource. Source is better than specs and porting is better than source. Having just source will take more time and just specs will take even more time. That's the point, having the candy now!

    So it's like this specs source port.

  8. Re:"In the Process?" on 75 Comics That Are Being Made Into Films · · Score: 1

    It is artistically superb! Not deep, but great art!

  9. Re:too bad for my employer on Firefox 2 and Gecko 1.8 End of Life · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you can use one of the binaries fro mozilla.com? Do you need to build it yourselves?

  10. Re:Far too many big corps are unhappy with netbook on New AMD Processors Aiming Between Laptops and Netbooks · · Score: 1

    That's great. How about weight? How about battery longevity? These Netbooks really outstand in those two. And what if I want a new one with a guarantee and all?

    See my point?

    Now, having said all these, I would love to have a second hand X40 :-P

  11. Re:Only sane conclusion on Independent Dev Reports Over 80% Piracy Rate On DRM-Free Game · · Score: 1

    They don't! Read again his comment. He sais "more convinient". He is not saying that Steam and WiiWare are piracy.

  12. Re:Just plain bullying on Irish Gov't Seeks To Rein In Cyber Bullying · · Score: 1

    Tell me the story, I wanna read it. Like a lot of people here, I was bullied at the school.

  13. Re:Not what, but who. on Microsoft's Office Web Will Do iPhone, Linux, Mac · · Score: 1

    Riddle me this twitter, when is Adobe going to make a 64-bit Linux flash?... or when will Adobe help out the Gnash project?

    When they feel the breth of Silverlight down their throat. Don't get me wrong, I still think Silverlight is nothing but a lock-in, but maybe, just maybe, something good comes out of it (Moonlight) for us the open-source world.

  14. Re:US vs. EU interests? on EU Will Not Divulge Microsoft Contracts · · Score: 1

    That US company pays them.

  15. Re:Debian was ok with Firefox on How 10 Iconic Tech Products Got Their Names · · Score: 1

    Debian didn't liked Mozilla's restrictions on the use of logos. So along with the logos the name had to go too.

  16. Re:Some possible problems, here? on Ballmer "Interested" In Open Source Browser Engine · · Score: 1

    Right click on the blue "e" on your desktop (or go to Internet Settings on Control Panel) and change the default homepage to about:blank or something.

    But I see your point, ftp is coool :P

  17. Re:I still have it. on Microsoft Discontinues Windows 3.x · · Score: 1

    Oh man... I am trying to run Win 3.1 inside QEMU but I am having bad luck with video drivers :( My old Pentium is blazing on Win 3.1 but I don't know how to convert all that data into an image. I mean, the real hardware is different than the QEMU emulated hardware.

  18. Re:Chrome for me? on Chrome Helping Other Browsers Out, Says Opera CEO · · Score: 1

    You are right, but you know I did complete something like a beginners course in C with just VIM. Of course a GUI like Eclipse or Geany is much better. It lets me organize things easier.

  19. Re:Chrome for me? on Chrome Helping Other Browsers Out, Says Opera CEO · · Score: 1

    XFCE here, it does work.

  21. Re:how is a pager ridiculous? on James Bond Gadgets · · Score: 1

    What do you mean? There are two sequels to Matrix, Reloaded and Revolutions. Unless you mean they they weren't worthy.

  22. Not necessarily good on Wikipedia For Schools DVD Released · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is about cliques. Do we want this thing into schools?

  23. Re:Don't forget Apple on iGoogle Users Irate About Portal's Changes · · Score: 1

    If you use the old Gmail inteface that doesn't need JavaScript, then you can middle click on e-mails and open many tabs at once. But Thunderbird rulez :P
