  1. So.. on Google's Marissa Mayer Becomes Yahoo! CEO · · Score: 0

    is she single?

  2. Re:Games are already too expensive on EA Outs Battlefield 4, Plans To Charge $70 For New Games · · Score: 1

    They probably have consultants (or analysts or whatever) telling them the demand will tolerate it. I for one will not, I can't stomach $60 for a game.

  3. Re:Why do they even need the cloud? on Feds: We Need Priority Access To Cloud Resources · · Score: 1

    Centralize data for easier review?

  4. Re:sigh.... anyone found it yet on Nearly Half a Million Yahoo Passwords Leaked [Updated] · · Score: 1

    The list is linked in posts above. Since yahoo sites share a common login, yahoo mail accounts would also be compromised if the user used a yahoo address to register. Users that registered iwth an address from another domain that also use the same password everywhere may also be in trouble.

  5. Re:Doomed competition on Google Nexus 7 Parts Cost $18 More Than Kindle Fire · · Score: 2

    Unless they are giving it away for nothing, I'll still be buying a tablet with an SD slot of some type.

  6. Re:slashdotted? on Nearly Half a Million Yahoo Passwords Leaked [Updated] · · Score: 1

    I was able to get it. Is it possible to change the site to prefer SSL?

  7. slashdotted? on Nearly Half a Million Yahoo Passwords Leaked [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Lots of sites are reporting this, and apparently enough ppl still have yahoo accounts that they care enough to change the password on, I wasn't able to login.

  8. Dvorak type layout? on Is It Time To End Our Love Affair With the QWERTY Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Why not put the most used letters near each other similar to the Dvorak keyboard layout. Most used letters could be placed in the center of the keypad with lesser used letters moving outward, maybe even in a circular pattern? Okay my mind is running and I'm probably not one to be suggesting a layout, but placing the most used letters near each other seems like a good idea.

  9. Re:Is the judge a member of Anon? on UK Judge: Galaxy Tab "Not Cool" Enough To Infringe iPad · · Score: 1

    Unless it gets Apple to argue the Tab is as cool as the iPad, to keep with consumers may mistakenly purchase a tab instead of an ipad.

  10. Re:God particle on Why Were So Many "Crazy" Higgs Boson Stories Published? · · Score: 1

    That was my conclusion, the stories created great traffic.

  11. Re:DSNChanger??? on DNSChanger Shut-Down Means Internet Blackout Coming For Hundreds of Thousands · · Score: 2

    find better user interface paradigms

    Probably have better luck with hoping for better security.

  12. Re:Widening Search Parameters is an Invention? on Apple Forces Google To Degrade Android Features · · Score: 1

    Why not patent searching multiple sources of any kind? Joking aside, seems to me it should be easy to invalidate?

  13. Re:Comic? on Linux Played a Vital Role In Discovery of Higgs Boson · · Score: 1

    That is it, thank you.

  14. Comic? on Linux Played a Vital Role In Discovery of Higgs Boson · · Score: 1

    This reminds me I of a comic I saw years ago that was at the expense of Mac users. I believe the comic was even related to CERN and pictured a bunch of mac users in a coffee shop. Has anybody else seen it, know where it can be found on the interweb?

  15. Re:"Assembled in the USA" on Nexus Q Stretches "Made in USA" Label · · Score: 1

    Maybe listed like ingredients in a food product?

  16. Re:No, it isn't misleading on Nexus Q Stretches "Made in USA" Label · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not trying to justify any hate, but maybe it should read assembled in the USA? Also, is there a threshold for electronics to meet for made in the USA?

  17. Re:Wow on App Store Bug Corrupts Binaries; Angry Birds Crash · · Score: 1

    Connecting lion to exchange works pretty smoothly.

  18. Re:Need a good way to revert to previous version on App Store Bug Corrupts Binaries; Angry Birds Crash · · Score: 1

    Restore from a backup? However maybe not easy or convenient.

  19. Re:This. on App Store Bug Corrupts Binaries; Angry Birds Crash · · Score: 0

    Are you sure this isn't a feature working as intended?

  20. How to roll back on Cisco's Cloud Vision: Mandatory, and Killed At Their Discretion · · Score: 1

    Somebody should let the people that unplugged their wan connection know.

    Link

  21. Re:Voting with wallet on Cisco's Cloud Vision: Mandatory, and Killed At Their Discretion · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here is another embedded system vendor with pfsense. Their products have intrigued me but I have never got around to trying one myself, although I have used soekris with monowall.

    http://store.netgate.com/Desktop-Kits-C82.aspx

  22. Which patent? on Samsung Appeals Apple's Injunction Against Galaxy Nexus · · Score: 1

    So which patent is the base for the injunction? I did some clicking and just found some spokesperson's comments. Don't tell me this injunction was granted because this phone looks like a phone.

  23. Re:About time on Facebook iOS App Ditching HTML5 For ObjectiveC · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I don't use facebook and do not worry about it.

  24. Re:In other news on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 2

    While I completely agree with you and would have liked to see video move away from 24fps long ago, apparently "everybody" hates it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/25/hobbit-48-fps-footage-divides-audiences_n_1452391.html

  25. Re:Nooooooooo on Pentagon Contractors Openly Post Job Listings For Offensive Hackers · · Score: 1

    Don't people usually go to jail for using such skills?
