Hmm, never thought of that. Another idea would be to create a couple hundred photos and give them all tags (has fish, black and white, 2 things the same, etc) and have the server generate 6 images where 5 share a tag and you have to chose "the one that's unlike the others".
I believe someone is working on a similar idea (pick all pictures with a cat) for openid login.
the version of vmware that does this is not free (beer or freedom), so I'm stuck pirating it, which I'm not going to do. I'd rather use something free (beer) and preferably open source to do it, but nothing free seems to be able to handle an actual partition.:(
Use some javascript/css/etc to make a box where depending on the position of you mouse in the box, little images/icons/whatever move around in the box till they overlap and create a bigger picture, then send the mouse position (x,y) to an AJAX server and have it validated.
You know, I keep hearing about this, but after using Ubuntu for a year now (started with Hardy), I have never, ever even SEEN the word iceweasel on my system except when I was specifically looking for it in the repositories. It may "technically" be iceweasel, but they always refer to it as "firefox".
Ubuntu basically did the oposite of what you are describing. The only reason they codenamed it differently was so they could pre-package a few ubuntu-specific extensions/settings into it.
don't forget "Planner". I've used that before and been VERY happy with the HTML open file format as well as multiple export abilities (image, html, etc).
Actually, 95% of my reboots consist of booting into winblows to play my games. I know there is wine and virtual machines (both of which I do use), but my graphics driver sucks in windows, and games are much nicer with an FPS > 30...
Having a USB key with portable putty and a password protected private key does wonders. Just set up your home server's ssh on something like port 9284 and then use portable firefox with proxy-switcher to surf!
this is an os-agnostic approach to stopping malware, they just used the linux kernel because its free.. don't be surprised if you see these kind of features appearing in every major compiler/os over the next few years.
The day Microsoft does anything truly smart to prevent malware is the day they switch to a linux kernel!
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, I do just this to people who's computer I fix on a regular basis. I then tell them "If the bar is blue, it's fake."
It works quite well.
Another vote for instigating a "-1: Bad Mental Image" mod.
Ah, so Elvis will return on January 8, 27935.
Well if you spectacular wreck includes a lot of hook casualties, you can count the money they drop as bonus points.

Huh, now I get a 403, but when I posted my first comment it was a DNS error. I guess someone on slashdot just bought themselves a domain name. ;)
Actually, most VNC programs will allow you to disable sending mouse events.

Now if I could only find an easy way to do the same thing with my MySQL server (I am a web developer and test on my laptop)...
How about something interactive?

"What color is a firetruck?"
Not sure, you tell me!
Wow, that has to be the first link ever posted on slashdot that was inactive BEFORE being posted!
And spam still meant just meat!
That is definitely a matter of opinion.
Wait, so in 2001 and 2008, there were more website about "nothing" than "porn"?!? Has the internet finally failed us?
But there was a lot of the 90's MIDI-playing pages and flashing colors.
You obviously haven't accidentally clicked on a myspace page recently...

Last I checked, our anthem didn't even HAVE any lyrics...

Adds a whole new meaning to the term jailbreak...
ensuring it complies to standards
Hopefully he knows the meaning of a TRUE standard, as opposed to the other kind!
Anyone have any idea how much all these sub-notebooks have directly contributed to the increase in Linux usage?
