  1. Debugging by means of remote update on Exponential Algorithm In Windows Update Slowing XP Machines · · Score: 1

    So they're trying to fix the problem of the processing time doubling with each patch, by trying out solutions in separately installed patches. You have to appreciate the irony of that!

  2. Re:WTF is Glassfish? on Oracle Kills Commercial Support For GlassFish: Was It Inevitable? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds like this is wonderful news for you guys. You both have clients that are loaded with money, and who desperately need Glassfish support for their production environment.

    And now Oracle stops offering support? Dude, this is the best business opportunity you'll get in your life. Quit whatever you're doing and start offering Glassfish support yourself. If it's really that big a deal, companies will be all over you.

  3. Re:How is this surprising... on IE 11 Breaks Rendering For Google Products, and Outlook Too · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ever since I started doing web design for a living in 1998, I hated this crazy situation where one has to take into account all quibbles and arguments the software industry has internally and make up for it in your code. Now we are 15 years down the road, I've moved on to greener pastures, but I see the poor sods in web development are still stuck with the tantrums of yesteryear.

    You're also not supposed to have security compromising settings activated by default, when you manufacture a software product. You know that there will always be people who run it in production straight out of the box.

  5. Re:Brilliant!!! on Scientists Create "DNA Barcodes" To Thwart Counterfeiters · · Score: 2

    Here in Europe, ATMs are constantly being targeted by Romanian criminals. Not because Romanians are particularly bad people, but because the manufacturing plant that built the ATMs is located there. These people are robbing the cash machines they built themselves a couples of months earlier. The people who know how to hack them sell this information and complete toolkits on a thriving black market.

    So, yes, it does require additional resources and skills to bypass sophisticated technology. But don't underestimate the number of people that still are within relatively easy reach of those resources and skills. The more complex a technology is, the more people you need to build it in the first place. And there's always a bunch of them that don't mind "dropping" a can of spray marker in the distribution parking lot for the right price.

    The point is not whom you trust, the point is that the list of parties having access to the data stored by whom you trust, may change without your/their knowledge and control.

  21. Re:sinophobe much? on Crowdfunded Effort Could Build World's 10th Deepest Diving Submersible · · Score: 1

    I don't get the beef you have with them not mentioning Jiaolong.
    Trieste and Deepsea Challenger went 3 km and 4 km deeper, that's over 42% and 57% more than Jiaolong's deepest manned dive.
    The only reason they call it a record it because it can do manned research deeper than those two, not because it actually goes deeper.

    You don't need ulterior political motives to consider Jiaolong in a different class. It's apples and oranges.
