  1. Re:Pulled out of idle? on Bottom of The Barrel Book Reviews-Confessions of a Recovering Preppie · · Score: 1

    There's a much more reliable way to get rid of "articles" like this: just filter out samzenpus.

  2. Re:Intel isn't aiming at gamers on Nvidia Claims Intel's Larrabee Is "a GPU From 2006" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So why is NVIDIA on the defensive?

    They're substituting rhetoric for an actual competitive product. Right now they're crapping their pants because they gambled everything on Vista which is failing spectacularly, whereas both ATi and Intel have got a 2 year head start on supporting Ubuntu out of the box. You can say Ubuntu isn't linux, but it's what all those Dell buyers are going to see.

  3. Re:Several other reasons besides addons. on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    The windows download needs to contain all the Cairo libraries. The linux one doesn't, since GTK already has it built in.

    If that's what you think of the people who worked for several years to give you all this for free, you're the one that needs to fuck off.

  5. Re:6mb? what the heck is a milli-bit? on XiP Filesystem Primps For Linux 2.6.28 · · Score: 1

    To quote an excellent post I saw a few days ago;

    people who insist on seeing only the "literal" meaning (a nebulous concept to anyone who has studied language from any perspective) are basically illiterate.

  6. Re:how much is enough? on Inside Intel's Core i7 Processor, Nehalem · · Score: 1

    The power savings are the killer app, not the speed. I might just get one of these, since my P4's stability has been dropping in the last few months...

  7. Re:Precursor to more of Firefox being in JS on Firefox Gets Massive JavaScript Performance Boost · · Score: 1

    Not at all. Firefox 1.0 was just the browser part of Mozilla ripped out and made into a separate app. Same for TB.

  8. Re:Blue Sky on Intel Claims an Advance In Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    Does it need the solar collectors at all? Think about it - you'd have a 36000km wire inside a rotating magnetic field...

    woosh

    No, it's a constant frequency; correct response would be "hummmmmmmmm"

  10. Re:FF3 does the right thing! on Firefox SSL-Certificate Debate Rages On · · Score: 2

    Is the right thing for my browser to do to tell me that my own webserver on localhost is untrusted, while companies that engage in practices like typosquatting and domain tasting are unquestionably trustworthy? I don't fucking think so.

  11. Re:Wireless USB? Isn't that Bluetooth? on Hands-on Look At USB 3.0, Spec Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    All those shitty keyboards that come with proprietary 2.4GHz dongles? Sounds like this is going to force them to conform to one standard via peer pressure and complaints from misled customers.

    How do you pronounce "iNTEL"? "eye-en-tell"?

    I've never looked at OSCommerce's code... but on the other hand have you ever looked at pMA's? More "@" symbols than a mailing list.

    Took me a single night to cook up a file upload control that works on IE6,7,8, Firefox 2 & 3, Intel Mac & Windows (even 2000) and will work on any other platform Microsoft targets in the future.

    You wasted an entire night figuring out how to cripple <input type="file"> so that it only works on Microsoft-sanctioned browsers? WTF is wrong with you??

  16. Just a warm-up on DNS Poisoning Hits One of China's Biggest ISPs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If they were trying to do damage to china, wouldn't they have simply redirected everyone to anti-government propaganda sites instead?

    If you're looking for simple code, you won't ever find it in a HTML parser script.

    Any person "clever" enough to click Yes on an activeX installation prompt, you mean?

    You want SVG as background-image? Here you go. Fast enough to do this in realtime? I honestly couldn't say, I'm more excited that their CSS3 support is finally catching up to Konqueror 3.5.

  20. Re:When will it stop? on IBM and AMD Create First 22nm SRAM Cell · · Score: 1

    The problem with current techniques for turning carbon into nanotubes is that they're about as controllable as creating glass by striking sand with a few hundred kV.

  21. Re:You got that idea from Stargate SG-1 on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    No, it just means you need to be from an incredibly advanced alien race to figure out ipv6.

  22. Re:Non-Windows drivers? on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

    They'll have no choice if they want to stay in business. PhysX made windows-only hardware, and look what happened to them (eaten by nVidia).

  23. Re:AMD and NVIDIA?? on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

    Is that supposed to be "supposed"?

  24. I never really thought about it. on Software Logging Schemes? · · Score: 1

    After a few greps over the PHP code I'm working on at the moment, it turns out there's... no obvious log pattern at all. It's logging to the webserver error log in some places, logging to syslog in others, and using assert() randomly. Maybe I should've paid more attention to that bit while writing it.

  25. Re:First post? on Sega's Game Archive · · Score: 1

    It may have said every piece of hardware, but it also said "room" and not "warehouse", therefore it's reasonable to assume they're only talking about consoles here.
