"could not be stolen through any amount of force". If bitcoins are practically unstealable/unconfiscatable then that'd be neat, but they aren't. They are stolen in vast quantities all the time by malware. If the government wants your bitcoi

I've given up trying to keep OSX java up to date. I can still use Libreoffice. I just keep the plugins disabled in the browsers. Oracle has made it, or rather left it, unusable.

I'm just gonna throw this slight grenade in. Opera is closed source. Does that in practice mean that it is unforkable (as is - with Presto)? On the desktop or mobile versions?

My putting arguments from an explicitly European perspective always gets me in trouble here. But here I go. There may (MAY) be some Socalization [sic] going on here. I.e. Americans think this is what people do in America, therefore they mus

The "problem" is that when almost none of the web works in IE6/7/8/9 is that people won't upgrade because they have no idea how to. They'll buy a new PC, which is fair enough if they were running XP, but then they'll be shocked to realise t

Ok, maybe it's a troll. (What isn't?) 1. I don't understand. Is the wearer of 2 headphones not allowed to talk, or is he not allowed to be verbally addressed? 2. If all the girls are wearing headphones, how the fuck...? Am I RIGHT?!

I've noticed this problem with using the spacebar. But a top and bottom header will never add up to more than 1/3 of the vertical height of the browser window. Should be poss to build a javascript overlaid scroller button than only scrolls

The causes of the problem as I see it. 1. A female who is a geek doubles her hotness to other geeks. 2. The guys in question are in the US, which has a shortage of hot women (which is hotly debated) and an even bigger shortage of geeks in g

Some are, I see, already mocking the ideological presumptousness of this, from a law enforcement agency. Gee Mulder, there's also this report of blah blah blah. Well, why is PREVENTING some citizens from changing the ALWAYS "pro-business" s

1. If this is true, and it seems right to me, maybe some of the massive effort put into designing new GUIs for Gnome/KDE/etc should be put into hacking the look and feel of the OS X desktop? Unsanity ShapeShifter hasn't worked since OS 10.4

I prefer a domain and my own server. But nobody will see what I write. The average user can't use G Reader. They can use twitter and facebook. Why hasn't this issue been solved? I want a network with friends who are users that gives me co
