  1. $25? on Raspberry Pi $25 PC Goes Into Alpha Production · · Score: 1

    Couldn't they make it cheaper by not paying the HDMI Tax?

  2. Re:The bug is called "Java" on Java 7 Ships With Severe Bug · · Score: 1

    sh, Perl 5, Lisp, Javascript, everything IBM produces, ...

  3. Re:GTK integration? on KDE 4.7.0 Released · · Score: 2

    orders of magnitude better than integration of KDE applications under the GNOME desktop of any variety.

    Nope, Qt supports GTK+ themes natively so those KDE apps work and look fine under GNOME. None of this playing-nice-with-others effort came from the GNOME camp, of course.

  4. Re:Debian concurrent boot on Ubuntu 11.10 Down To 12-Second Boot · · Score: 1

    1: It isn't new, it's been in testing/unstable for 2 years by now. 2: This isn't Debian's init system, because this takes longer to get to a usable desktop on a 2011 3GHz multicore than that takes on my eee701 with a 630MHz Celeron.

    Try google.

  6. Re:When does the hurting stop? on Lodsys Now Suing EA, Atari, Rovio and More · · Score: 1

    Please write an article about this for the front page. Anonymity is what lets these parasites and the ones they operate on behalf of get away with it.

    What will it take before patent laws are thrown out the window and replaced with something sane?

    I completely agree with you. A long and calculated campaign of murdering the people responsible for perpetuating this fucked up state of affairs is the only thing that will change this. You can't fight people in the business of exploiting the legal system through that same system.

  8. Re:Mozilla bleeding from the eyeballs? on Mozilla Announces Enterprise User Working Group · · Score: 1

    quit making every browser update a training exercise

    It's a browser. It works the same as every other browser. Upgrades keep the exact same toolbar layout you used in the previous version. If you need "training courses" to figure out what a new button is for because you lack the initiative to click it yourself and find out then, no offense, but you're a fucking moron. Go use IE.

  9. Re:Change the national Anthem on Massachusetts Plans To Keep Track of Where Your Car Has Been · · Score: 1

    being chained in the hull of a ship for months, sold, forced to labor, quartered in a shack, bred like a dog, and fed garbage for the rest of your short, disease-ridden life.

    Yeah, modern-day American life is *nothing* like that.

  10. Re:Objective: computer vision defeat on Massachusetts Plans To Keep Track of Where Your Car Has Been · · Score: 1

    Blasting camera sensors with IR is already feasible; it's used in Copyrighted Public Spaces.

  11. Re:"creative professional" on Will Apple's Lion Roar For Business? · · Score: 1

    The submitter's profession doesn't.

  12. Sony: Don't buy our competitor's handheld! Please! on Don't Go 3D For 3D's Sake, Says Sony · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should've taken their own "quality not quantity" advice when they released a 300W games console with bigger hardware numbers than the rest and a launch lineup of tired old sequels.

  13. Re:One Problem on NAND Flash Better Than DRAM For PC Performance · · Score: 1

    Because of this normal filesystems are used, that assume to be on spinning harddrives

    Worse still are cheap-ass SSDs that assume "normal" filesystems are being used, and corrupt your data if you aren't using windows.

    It's in the D1 layout in the same place it's always been, YOU BLIND INGRATE.

  15. Re:Should have been a default in browsers from day on NoScript Awarded $10,000 · · Score: 1

    IE had "zones" 10 years ago. Chrome has had per-site whitelisting for several major releases.

    Mozilla... Mozilla has an open bug from the previous millenium.

  16. Re:What's the point? on Attachmate Does the Right Thing For Mono · · Score: 1

    No, Mono serves the same purpose as Wine - it's there as a stopgap while you transition away from Microsoft to real portable languages. dotNET is "portable" code in the same way writing for the Microsoft JVM is portable, except this time they can't be sued for pulling a 3-E's.

  17. Re:64 bit works since forever on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    I've made the mistake of assuming a tmpfs big enough to build Chromium with its half-an-OS of bundled libs would also be big enough to compile Firefox 5 in. It isn't.

  18. Re:Looks like AMD might be going under then on Apple Hopes To Drop Samsung As Chip Supplier · · Score: 1

    > $1000 midrange CPUs.

    They still make the Pentium Extreme Edition?!

  19. Re:Wrong demographic on Open Radeon 3D Driver Runs At 60~70% of Proprietary Driver Speed · · Score: 1

    but it seems to be it would be better time spent working on better GPU support from the older cards that either are, or are soon-to-be unsupported by AMD.

    "Unsupported by AMD" is not going to happen because they are directly contributing to this driver.

    Gnash can do youtube, 480p, barely keeping up. That's about all I use it for, everything else is broken on it.

  21. Re:Think harder... on The Cost Of Broadband In Every Rural Home · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because the telecoms don't get to stick their snouts in the pork barrel by thinking.

    It sounds more like an excuse for another stupid W3C marketing acronym to me. Sorry, I need to go and SOAP my OWL now.

    The metric we should be using is GPM, not MPG.

    You mean l/km.

    Yes, nice to see Mozilla finally acknowledge KDE's browser engine is years ahead of their own.
