  1. Get a clue Clulely! on Apple Quietly Goes After Mac Trojan With Update · · Score: -1, Troll

    BREAKING NEWS!!! Stop The Presses!

    "Apple has updated XProtect.plist - the rudimentary file that contains elementary signatures of a handful of Mac threats"

    How dare they not tell us about such an important change... With such dramatically huge changes like this one going undocumented I just don't know how much longer I can trust these guys.

    Gotta wonder if some recruitment minded guy is saying "we need more buzzwords" wherein buzzwords are things like 'twitter' 'facebook' 'ipad'...

    Yaah, I know, it is old.... But I would have really liked a PPC release. Is there something in the code that prohibits such a thing?

    I used one of those type of things. I had the Disney Sound Source parallel port sound thing mentioned on that wikipedia page.

    It was really fun, sitting there with my IBM Model 50z 80286 an Win3.1.. rocking out the wav files as if i was living in the modern world.

    I sometimes what happened to that piece of hardware..... truly an interesting little creation.

  8. Re:$380? on Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS · · Score: 1

    isnt a netbook an ultraportable notebook? if not....where is the line and how can I be sure which is which without the marketing speak applied to a products name?

  9. Re:$380? on Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I thought the same thing. $380? Too much!

    I remember when the eeePc's and other netbooks started coming out for sub $300 prices that it wouldnt be long before we would see $150 netbooks... But I guess that isnt what happened because netbooks seemingly get more and more expensive.

    Where are the cheap netbooks that I thought were the intent of the product?!

  10. I love OpenBSD on OpenBSD 4.7 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    I started using OpenBSD at version 2.7 after a few years using various versions of Redhat linux and Mandrake.

    I was hooked right away.. It was a lot of things. Maybe the first was the really easy installation process... In my opinion it still might be the simplest out there. There is the well written man pages.. And the simple 'full' installation. It was easy to understand where everything was and it mostly stayed that way from release to release. The config files seemed easy to read and the firewall was really snazzy!

    They do some good work! I enjoy using it, even if all I am really doing is small scale hobby work.
     

  11. Re:Yes... on Firefox Is Lagging Behind, Its Co-Founder Says · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I dont know if it is just me but whenever people harp on about how theyll ignore other browsers until they can do everything they can do with firefoxes _insert obscure plugins here_ I tend to think of how we always end up with useless crap like XEYES on pretty much every graphic installation...... Maybe sometimes people create a need where one didnt exist?! Maybe we CAN live without Xeyes?!.

  12. Switched away long ago. on Firefox Is Lagging Behind, Its Co-Founder Says · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Like many I was one of the first on the big wagon ride using firefox in the various names it had before its current guise....

    but... it just got too slow and clunky, startup times got longer load times of pages lagged... the benefits it had started to lose value.

    So I switched to Opera and Safari...... I use firefox on the few websites I use that require it (yes that sounds odd).. I wish it were like it used to be.

    you must recall what 'tech illiterate' meant back then.

    back then you got a 'computer' and it came with a big book of BASIC code telling you how to code your own games! right out of the box!

    now? you get a 'computer' and the odds of you coding your own games are quite unlikely.. even most 'literate' computer users wouldnt know where to start

  22. Re:And on Gardening On Mars · · Score: 1

    If it's planned properly, you'll be fine on a vegan diet with no supplements. Pregnant women probably should take supplements but can bear healthy children without them, and I assume NASA would want to hire a world-class nutritionist for this project anyways.

    It is too bad the source used multiple places on that page says nothing about a Vegan diet.

    Craig, WJ; Mangels, AR; American Dietetic, Association (July 2009). "Position of the American Dietetic Association: vegetarian diets.". J Am Diet Assoc 109 (7): 1266–1282. doi:10.1016/j.jada.2009.05.027. PMID 19562864.

    notice how it says: "Position of the American Dietetic Association: vegetarian diets." ...I think you might want to reconsider your research.

  23. Re:And on Gardening On Mars · · Score: 2, Informative

    The American Dietetic Association considers well-planned vegan diets "appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy and lactation," but recommends that vegan mothers supplement for iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.

              - Veganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    that quote is wrong.. just look at the source at the bottom of the wiki page.

    Craig, WJ; Mangels, AR; American Dietetic, Association (July 2009). "Position of the American Dietetic Association: vegetarian diets.". J Am Diet Assoc 109 (7): 1266–1282. doi:10.1016/j.jada.2009.05.027. PMID 19562864.
