  1. Re:Works on passwords too! on Google Preps Instant Search For Chrome 8 · · Score: 0

    You accidentally what the whole password?

  2. Made a buyer out of me on HDCP Master Key Is Legitimate; Blu-ray Is Cracked · · Score: 0

    Now that this has been cracked, I am now more apt to buy their products because I can play it on what I want. I am now considering it, while before it was a flat "no"

  3. Silent Steel on IBM Patents Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Movies · · Score: 0

    Bundled with the *IBM* Aptiva with Win95 on 6 CDs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv0CO7kiBFg 90Mhz was never so sweet.

  4. Re:Accuracy? Authority? on Google To Answer Your Questions Directly · · Score: 0

    The Internet is nothing but agreed-upon reality anyway (and real reality for that matter, but that's an entirely different discussion), why does this bother you?

  5. Re:A bit of a Summary on A.I. Developer Challenges Pro-Human Bias · · Score: 0

    Just because an encounter has more Hit Dice doesn't make it more intelligent.

  6. Re:Well, it could... on Stroustrup Says New C++ Standard Delayed Until 2010 Or Later · · Score: 1, Funny

    I guess in your case though it sort of rolls on to the tongue.

  7. Re:Lot's of push on Zer01 Parent Strips Web Site Following Report · · Score: 0

    I avoid anything that looks like an MLM. I'm not going to talk people I know or legitimate customers of mine into something that over promises and under delivers.

    How do you stay in business?~

  8. Re:Mentioning "Fire" gets the attention of Appleca on FOIA Documents Detail iPods Overheating, Catching Fire · · Score: 0

    I work frontline support for an insurance company, and this special behavior for fire-hazards doesn't surprise me. Think about it from a liability perspective.

    Let's say you mention fire or fire-hazard and your claim is denied. Nothing happens, who cares? Well you do because your device doesn't work, but as far as insurance, service contracts, or warranties, the administrator is saving a dime and won't budge. What, then if your house burns down because of it a week later? Oops! If it comes to light the claim was *gasp* denied, the administrator is potentially in for a world of hurt if the client litigates. Would you rather spend a tiny amount of money for a single part that you have a warehouse full of or a house, injuries, and possibly a wrongful death suit?

    This is not something I was trained on, mind you, but I damn sure like putting food on my table so it pays to think a little further on things even if something is not covered or supported.

    Sidebar: People mention brainless scriptreaders. I hate them too. They sound like robots and it drives me up the wall when I hear them at this center.

  9. Greasemonkey on Integrating Wikipedia With a Local Intranet Wiki · · Score: 0

    My first thought was to use a Greasemonkey (or Greasemonkey analogue) to add whatever you wanted to pages that show up on Wikipedia. The way it could be integrated is you have the internal wiki with its markup and everything named as the same page title as what's on Wikipedia. When a page on Wikipedia is loaded, the script appends the internal wiki onto the Wikipedia page.

    Others' concerns about Wikipedia being out of date or contradictory are valid though. You would probably do better to either.

    1. Don't!
    2. At least make it very clear to end-users what is external and what is internal.

    Extra Points earned if, when someone clicks to edit an entry that has internal information, the process is seamless and feels like editing the Wikipedia page itself.

  10. Re:Japanese Perfection on Railway Workers Get Daily Smile Scans · · Score: 0

    Another option is to have them all wear smiley face masks :)

    Hmm...

    I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

    There it is!

  11. Re:I will never buy another Alienware... on Alienware Refusing Customers As Thieves · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Would you accept someone's word over the phone?

  13. Am I missing something? on Telepresence — Our Best Bet For Exploring Space · · Score: 0

    How is this news? The goal is already to gather data in as high a resolution as possible. Simulations are already in place for the data we have.

    Sorry, but I simply fail to see the novelty.

  14. Re:This is news? It isn't new. on Robo-Arm Signatures Are Legal, Gov't Buys One · · Score: 0

    IIRC didn't Thomas Jefferson have something similar?

    Like a duplicator of sorts. The device attached to the butt of the pen and simply followed along with another pen held aloft with pulleys and counterweights.

    Yeah, but it doesn't matter - he's just an imposter.

    Seriously, the inanity of posts and comments will rise because of this system if people think it's a game. It will flare like a fad, but then people will stop after a short while. I give it a couple weeks before everything returns to normal.

  17. Re:Infrastructure will not handle this on World's Cheapest Car Goes On Sale In India · · Score: 0

    If you ever visited India, you'd see some of these people taking their whole family on a single motorcycle which is dangerous.

    Thank goodness you told me it was dangerous, otherwise I wouldn't have known!

    It could probably have something to do with the distance from a baseline.

    Start with zero at the bottom as the shortest distance, and the highest numbers the furthest out.

    And to illustrate the point further, why not just say that the Jews are controlling the media, keeping the black man down, keeping the spics from getting their citizenship?

    No, no, Republicans are EVIL I tells ya. Baloney. I guess it's not a troll if you agree.
