  1. Re:They were messing with him on How a Team of Geeks Cracked the Spy Trade · · Score: 1

    But that would run the risk of blowing that fake name's cover. Of course, he should have been able to just make something up on the spot..

  2. Re:SVG and WebGL??? on Google To Host International SVG Conference · · Score: 1

    In the web development world, it can take quite a long time for something to go from being "useless" to "obsolete".

    Like Internet Explorer 6?

  3. Re:And I thought... on iPhone Straining AT&T Network · · Score: 1

    Well, at least this way they don't have to even worry about ignoring the moral obligation!

  4. Re:And I thought... on iPhone Straining AT&T Network · · Score: 1

    I wasn't trying to make a joke. I believe it's the same reason the major internet providers won't take it either.

  5. Re:Hm. on Educause Announces Plans To Sign .edu TLD With DNSSEC · · Score: 1

    I think this is the best car analogy (allegory?) ever.

  6. Re:Three Possibilities on iPhone Straining AT&T Network · · Score: 1

    Most newer Windows Mobile phones come with Opera Mobile instead of Pocket IE, which is FAR superior, though I still use Opera Mini every once and a while for the speed.

  7. Re:Small tidbit from TFA on iPhone Straining AT&T Network · · Score: 1

    Except California isn't the only state they have to deal with, they have (at least) 47 others to worry about.

  8. Re:Take pre-emptive action on iPhone Straining AT&T Network · · Score: 1

    That just means it's sent to the NSA, not the FBI.

    They won't ask for money from the government, because then they'd be expected to actually improve their service.

  10. Re:How about just getting 3.5 to work right on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    And I've been using 3.5 on OSX. Works great, just like on Windows. Funny how that works, isn't it?

  11. Re:of all the things to copy from Chrome on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    Assuming by Aero Peek you mean the individual taskbar previews, the Bugzilla entry for that feature is currently blocking Gecko 1.9.2, for Firefox 3.6. According to the tracking bug for Windows 7 they also plan on implementing Jump Lists, the progress-bar-in-icon feature for downloads, and others, in the future.

  12. Re:Bugzilla? on Serious Design Failure At USAspending.gov? · · Score: 1

    I'd be far less concerned about the tens of millions ($52m in 2009) going to Microsoft and more worried about the tens of billions ($26b in 2009) going to companies like Lockheed Martin where $11b of it weren't even competed contracts.

  13. Re:Internet black magic not dead yet on EBay Sells Skype To Marc Andreessen · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This would be an interesting insight if weren't for the fact it's already been sold before.

  14. Re:NetInst distros on Drop in P2P Traffic Attributed To Traffic Shaping · · Score: 1

    P2P has other legitimate uses! World of Warcraft updates, of course!

  15. Re:Not really news. on Australian Defence Force Builds $1.7m Linux-Based Flight Simulator · · Score: 1

    I just bought one for $20 after MIR from Amazon. They're rather common, now.

  16. Re:Earlier 64 bit support? on Australian Defence Force Builds $1.7m Linux-Based Flight Simulator · · Score: 1

    When did Windows start supporting x86-64 fully ? Oh, yeah, they still don't to an extend (some drivers don't work and will never be updated).

    Windows started supporting x86-64 as soon as an x86-64 version was released. It's the hardware manufacturer's fault that their hardware doesn't work with or support x64, not Microsoft's.

  17. Re:I want one! on Australian Defence Force Builds $1.7m Linux-Based Flight Simulator · · Score: 1

    It was a training exercise. Nothing to see here!

  18. Re:"Freedom to read in the privacy of your library on Librarians Express Concern Over Google Books · · Score: 1

    If you're that paranoid, you better not even take your own car!

  19. badtitle on An End To Unencrypted Digital Cable TV and the HTPC · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming this is something to do with ClearQAM from the cable box to the television/computer, because I do believe they're required to send ClearQAM signals of broadcast stations? I don't see anything over ClearQAM other than those, where I am, but we also don't have digital cable.

  20. Re:Secure protocols for home wifi? on WPA Encryption Cracked In 60 Seconds · · Score: 0, Redundant

    1000Mbit ought to be enough for everyone!

    And you learn nothing about Windows, which is probably going to be used at your boring office job. It's good to teach over a number of different things, but teaching on just Macs is as bad as teaching on just Windows.
