  1. Re:What? on In-Game Web Browser Round-Up · · Score: 1

    Considering the Steam overlay only originally allowed access to their pages, it's not really that bad. And why integrate Gecko or Webkit, when you're already Windows-only?

  2. Re:EverQuest 2 - It's had this for a while on In-Game Web Browser Round-Up · · Score: 1

    Are you sure it's all of Firefox they integrated, and not just Gecko (FF's renderer)? I know Second Life has an embedded version of Gecko they use for their help browser.

  3. Re:Steam exclusive! on Review: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin · · Score: 1

    I assume you can still buy it in store, and I'll also have to assume you mean you can install it on any of your computers any time you want without the need for additional payments and permission.. and run them all at the same time, too. Steam isn't stopping you from installing it on multiple computers, in fact that's one of the things I love about it.

    Or with grep.

  5. Re:Call info should follow the money trail... on TrapCall Service To Bypass Caller ID Blocking · · Score: 1

    I don't think the forwarding works that way. I think it forwards the call on your dime (which is free, if you're calling a toll-free number, obviously) but it still passes on the Caller ID of the original caller. Otherwise, if you had, say, call forwarding set up to forward from your house to your cellphone, all you'd ever see was your house calling you.

    Well, except one's illegal and the other is presumably not.

  7. Re:Emulate IE7 on MS To Slip IE8 Into Vista and XP Through OEMs · · Score: 1

    As long as they don't have an 'emulate IE6' button. Then we'll see websites that say "Go do this to make our site look right!"

  8. Re:I just don't see how it would work. on Casinos Warn iPhone Card-Counting App is Illegal · · Score: 1

    You keep the iPhone in your pocket

    and

    You punch in the info via virtual buttons on the touchscreen.

    Two words: Capacitive screen.

  9. Re:Well you could always benefit the hacker commun on How Do I Put Unused Servers To Work? · · Score: 1

    And now I know what he must do. He must set up a virus network.

    What do you do to people who call it the "Jenova particle"?

    And copy and paste the binary data from the terminal? .. Genius!

  14. Re:I wonder in 20 years... on Two Big Tests For Personal Rapid Transportation · · Score: 4, Informative

    The article (yes, I actually read it) actually compares the system to Morgantown's and why it should work better.

  15. Re:TrueCrypt and Mac on How To, When You Have To Encrypt Absolutely Everything? · · Score: 1

    That's kind of suprising.. Maybe I'm misinformed but I would think the EFI would allow a module as an entry point to boot to an encrypted volume.

  16. Re:Bundling doesn't crearte market share? on Firefox Exec Says Windows Bundling Is a Bad Idea · · Score: 1

    Inside "Program Access and Defaults", you can uncheck Internet Explorer, which removes it from the desktop, start menu, etc., effectively keeping those family members from using IE again without going straight to iexplore.exe.

  17. Re:What's an 'application' to a user? on Average User Only Runs 2 Apps, So Microsoft Will Charge For More · · Score: 1

    It will probably be based on processes, not threads.

  18. Re:Switch to a Mac commericial on Average User Only Runs 2 Apps, So Microsoft Will Charge For More · · Score: 1

    Considering the purpose of Starter edition is to sell to emerging markets, I don't exactly think there's big money in selling Apple products (other than iPods.. maybe) in those countries.

  19. Re:Oh No on Steve Wozniak To Appear On Dancing With the Stars · · Score: 1

    I don't think most of the people watching the show will even know who he is, so it might pan out.

  20. Re:Blacklisting registrars on KnujOn Updates Top 10 Spam-Friendly Registrars List · · Score: 1

    That's hardly fair. Just because a domain is under a certain registar doesn't mean they're spammers - my domains are registered under a Wild West Domains subsidiary, and I know a few people that use GoDaddy. I don't need my personal email suddenly being marked as spam on accident because my domains are through one of those registars.
    Now, if accreditation were pulled, then obviously I'd want to change registars, and it wouldn't be a problem.

    That's funny.. what does the registry have to do with the security in NTFS?

    By cap I'm sure you mean a bottom cap, especially knowing Charter. $50/mo for internet is ridiculous as is.
