  1. Re:Portal 2, Left 4 dead 2.... on Valve Announces Portal 2 · · Score: 1

    Or...
    Do the stories tie together?

  2. Re:Are we sure they're secret cables? on When Your Backhoe Cuts "Black" Fiber · · Score: 1

    Or better yet, do all that, then throw a few unmarked "red flag" cables down and act like it's a matter of immediate national security the instant they get cut.

    The public thinks you have secret cables, and they're still clueless.

  3. Fish and the egg on Can rev="canonical" Replace URL-Shortening Services? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Or, perhaps the simplest solution: talk Twitter into letting you use more than 140 chars.

  4. Re:The article doesn't describe the actual exploit on Phishing For Bank Info Without Any Pesky Malware · · Score: 0

    "cURL" out to those sites?
    Sir, if we had the credentials needed to send a cURL request with your cookies (to see if you were logged in), you've already been hijacked. (cURL requests are server-side.)

    The vulnerability comes more from the fact that some browsers let JavaScript "see" what the URL of another window is.

    Oh, that, and many people won't notice that the URL isn't form their bank.

    Funny, though. A modern pop up blocker will stop this 9/10 times (unless you do the infamous body.onclick trick).

  5. Re:Finally, a get rich scheme that will work! on Google Can Predict the Flu · · Score: 0

    I was just thinking...
    Wouldn't everyone instead take extra precautions to avoid the flu, such as taking the vaccine (though it won't help right away...), or by being more conscientious of washing hands in public areas, thereby reducing the number of people that get it and causing you loss?

  6. And... on Google Launches User-Driven Debate Site · · Score: 0

    And Slashdot is...what, chopped liver?

  7. 2nd law says no. on Researchers Pave Way For Compressor-Free Refrigeration · · Score: 0

    "...change from disorganized to organized..."

    This sounds like it's forgetting some important law of physics, like, say, the second law of thermodynamics that states that the entropy of all real systems always increases.

    But, hey, if you can breach that rule then you can also ignore the efficiency limits of a Carnot engine (which is really crappy) and you are home free to making the world a cooler place for a lot less effort.

  8. physics on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 1

    And if they COULD do sustainable nuclear fusion in a small car engine this would be great news. They can't. We are still trying to build our first nuclear fusion experimentation plant. No sir, if we ever achieve this technology, we are years and years off.

  9. Re:Slashdot is next on Best Buy Hands Out Cease & Desist Letters for Christmas · · Score: 1

    Nah, they seem to have spent too much money marketing on this site to throw it all off now. (/me still laughs at all the MS ads...)

  10. Re:Great game on Croal vs. Totilo - The Portal Letters · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.

  11. Re:Is there anyone happy with their salary? on Annual IT Salary Survey Finds Dissatisfaction · · Score: 1

    You seem to me to be someone that is quite happy.
    If I could only content myself with that...(glances over at new 22" LCD wide screen monitors...)

    Wow, the person that bought it must have really wanted to get home!
