  1. Let's have a website listing replacement clients on Skype Goes After Reverse-Engineering · · Score: 1

    and start pointing non-technical people to it. The sooner Skype dies, the better.

  2. Re:why do we need another one? on Apple's Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) Now Open Source · · Score: 1

    Same reason C# exists in spite of Java.

  3. Re:I fucking hate... on PROTECT IP Renamed To the E-PARASITE Act · · Score: 1

    And the new name is a truthful representation of what this law's sponsors intend to do with it, unlike the old one.

  4. Re:Plan B on Microsoft Now Collects Royalties From Over Half of All Android Devices · · Score: 0

    So how much are MS paying you for the astroturf?

  5. Monoculture is dangerous on A Silicon Valley School That Doesn't Use Computers · · Score: 1

    They're doing the right thing by not bringing up their kids reliant on computers, especially since the rich end of the industry is moving away from actual progress and toward litigious attacks on anyone who writes software or uses a computer.

  6. Plan B on Microsoft Now Collects Royalties From Over Half of All Android Devices · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess it's more cost-effective to shakedown directly than using SCO as a proxy.

  7. Re:Whit, what? 135M yr old? on German Paleontologists Find a 'Near-Perfect' Dinosaur Fossil · · Score: 1

    Are you 12?

  8. Re:Vigilances on Anonymous Hackers Take Down Child Porn Websites · · Score: 0

    So I take it you're a Scientology supporter?

  9. Re:UK Channel 4 News and Bitcoin on Value of Bitcoin "Crashes" · · Score: 1

    Just for anyone who may not know: Channel 4 is the closest thing the UK has to Fox News.

  10. Re:Modern Perl? on Mojolicious 2.0: Modern Perl For the Web · · Score: 1

    You could figure that out for yourself, but I suspect you're not actually interested in having your snarky rhetorical question shot down with an answer.

  11. Re:"Web development can be fun again" on Mojolicious 2.0: Modern Perl For the Web · · Score: 1

    I'm decades under 45, and you can go fuck yourself with a rake.

  12. Re:Yet Another on Mojolicious 2.0: Modern Perl For the Web · · Score: 1

    God help you if you ever have to use an OS with a package manager...

  13. Re:Hackers, or Criminals? on Hackers Buying IPv4 Blocks To Evade Detection · · Score: 1

    The correct word is "crackers", but I wouldn't expect tabloid media like Slashdot to have such vocabulary at this point.

  14. Re:How's the audio? LOL on Team Fortress 2 Running In a Web Browser Using WebGL · · Score: 1

    Already exists, and already supported by Webkit. Firefox has a similar, but proprietary, interface.

  15. Re:Meanwhile, WebGL has... TREES! on Unreal Engine 3 Running In Flash · · Score: 1
  16. Re:SPARC is dead on Is the Sparc T4 Too Little Too Late? · · Score: 1

    You might want to look up "Larrabee" - there's a fairly significant thing preventing massive numbers of weak x86 cores being put on a single chip for handling thousands of small IO jobs: nobody cares.

  17. Re:old news and openwrt is better on Teach Your Router New Tricks With DD-WRT · · Score: 1

    It supported my DG834 better than DD-WRT, which does not.

  18. Re:Should we disable TLS 1.0 in browsers? on Hackers Break Browser SSL/TLS Encryption · · Score: 1

    I'll repeat myself: in 15.0.874 those boxes are gone.

  19. $500 for a $150 SSD + windows-only device driver on OCZ Wants To Cache Your HDD With an SSD · · Score: 1
  20. Re:Should we disable TLS 1.0 in browsers? on Hackers Break Browser SSL/TLS Encryption · · Score: 1

    SSL2 has been gone in any decent browser for a long time now. The latest versions of Chrome (currently 15.0.874.1) don't even have checkboxes for SSL3/TLS any more, so fuck knows what data it's leaking behind my back...

  21. Re:WTH? Is this an Intel ad? on Intel's RISC-y Business · · Score: 2

    Nah, it's just Intel admitting they lost the mobile market to ARM and the value-for-money market to AMD, so all they have left is the ricer and more-money-than-sense market.

  22. Lack of apps? on The (Big) Problem With RIM · · Score: 1

    Gee, I wonder if the >$100 "developer license" with its 40-volume EULA and triplicate forms had anything to do with that...

  23. Re:I failed my IT GCSE. on British Schoolkids To Be Taught Computer Coding · · Score: 1

    Another "completely useless" here - only I went through this farce in college. In the end I just up and quit halfway through the second year, went and learned Perl instead, and have had a stable job for years since. Apparently they couldn't find any other good programmers locally to fill the position...

  24. Re:Well... on Microsoft: No Windows 8 ARM Support For x86 Apps · · Score: 1

    They have crushed the competition before (Cyrix, PowerPC, DEC, AMD)

    Interesting definition of "crushed" you're using - is it measured in terms of cost, gigahertz, collusion deals or in Celsius?

  25. "Metro-style apps"? on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    Microsoft at it again, ripping off other software's names. First Midori and now this.
