  1. Re:dvorak == good on Correcting Poor Typing Technique? · · Score: 1

    i switched to dvorak around 1999. i haven't looked back. it is just so far superior to qwerty, in terms of comfort, that i couldn't imagine it any other way.

    Unfortunately, the shift key seems to be difficult to reach.

  2. Re:Sounds Good To Me on California To Create Public Animal Abuser Registry · · Score: 1

    Do we get to add the person that raised and killed your dinner on that list?

    No, because my dinner lost out in "Survival of the Cutest." Fluffy gets to sit on my lap while Bessie gets grilled and Clucky is fried with a secret blend of herbs and spices.

  3. Re:Diesel on UPS Setup For a Small/Mid-Size Company? · · Score: 1

    That's what we thought, until the cold weather turned our diesel into gel and the generator failed during a power outage. 300 servers down, 100k customers calling in. The phones were still up. :)

  4. Re:Bioshock? on Genre Wars — the Downside of the RPG Takeover · · Score: 1

    I still play Shock 2 however, even though I know the location of every scare.

    Where did you get a pre-release copy of BioShock 2? Hook me up!

  5. Re:Maybe on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Then you're looking for somebody with a 3-letter name like bob@aol or maybe his previous address: hubhost!middlehost!edgehost!bob@uucpgateway.somedomain.example.com

  6. HTTP 2.0? on You Won't Recognize the Internet in 2020 · · Score: 1

    I fear that our beloved open net will become a thing of the past. This sounds similar to previous talks of creating a secure and authenticated email system. Although I would welcome the end of SPAM, I'm sure it would be replaced by "official partner advertising".

    I also think this might mean the end of file sharing and anonymous free speech, ala wikileaks.

  7. Re:First Paragraph on The 87 Lamest Moments In Tech, 2000-2009 · · Score: 1

    Yhbt. Yhl. Hand.

  8. Re:If you need to do this... on Verizon Removes Search Choices For BlackBerrys · · Score: 1

    The difference is that Google and Mozilla were adding a feature. The built-in search box wasn't a standard feature at the time. It would be like Mozilla forcing Google to be your homepage and not allowing you to change it.

  9. Re:double? no! quadruple! on Making Old Games Look Good On Modern LCDs? · · Score: 1

    I think you're making a mistake The total number of pixels will quadruple, but the height and width only double.
    A 1x1 monitor has 1 pixel.
    A 2x2 monitor has 4 pixels, but is twice as wide.
    A 4x4 monitor has 16 pixels and is twice as wide as the 2x2.

    To double the apparent resolution, you have to double the height and width while quadrupling the number of pixels.

  11. You don't need to keep your own password. on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Just email me your passwords and the related sites. I'll keep track of them for you.

  12. Re:No. on Plug vs. Plug — Which Nation's Socket Is Best? · · Score: 1

    I like the sound of this. It's similar to putting a PCI card into a PCI Express slot, but not vice versa.

  13. Re:Wow, that's hypocracy on Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos · · Score: 1

    In related news, several fruit vendors are being sued by Apple for trademark infringement.

  14. Re:Disaster for Regular Users on Fake Antivirus Overwhelming Scanners · · Score: 1

    It's dancing bunnies. Says so, right on the page.

  15. Re:The worst offenders on Fake Antivirus Overwhelming Scanners · · Score: 1

    It makes me laugh that recent versions of the removal tool make you solve a captcha to use them.

  16. Re:Hi I'm Linux on Forkable Linux Radio Ad Now On the Air In Texas · · Score: 1

    then bestiality involving penguins and 800lb gorillas, wait, what were we talking about again?

    I was with you until you brought Balmer in.

  17. Re:Hi I'm Linux on Forkable Linux Radio Ad Now On the Air In Texas · · Score: 1

    "Busty", maybe. But the Post-Op vibe really kills it for me. Real women don't wear that much makeup.

  18. Re:already slashdotted on How GNOME and KDE Spend Their Money · · Score: 1

    I think the rider of the male elephant suffers much less than the other rider in this case. At least physically.

  19. Re:But it still does not answer the question on Pigeon Turns Out To Be Faster Than S. African Net · · Score: 1

    The correct answer will be given in bits/second.

  20. Re:Overshadowing the fact on Trapped Girls Call For Help On Facebook · · Score: 1

    That doesn't always work out as well as one might expect. http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF198-Secret_Mutant_Hero_Team.jpg

  21. Re:Capitalizing the first letter of a sentence on FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors · · Score: 1

    I hate to feed the trolls, but think of it this way: You only have to write it once, but it can be read by many. If you take 3 seconds to clean up your writing making it easier to parse, the rest of the world will save the hours wasted trying to understand your gibberish.

  22. Re:Marriage kernel 0.01, suitable for hackers only on Navigating a Geek Marriage? · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. Can I have this in a car analogy?

  23. Re:August on Navigating a Geek Marriage? · · Score: 1

    Along these lines, I recommend Gary Chapman's study: The Five Love Languages. I didn't expect any benefit going into it, but my wife and I both learned how to better identify what the other needs.

  24. Re:Yes on Rosetta Stone Sues Google For Trademark Violation · · Score: 1

    When you buy Pepsi at the grocery store, there's a good chance that Coke has paid them to have the register print off a coupon for Coke for you.

    In any case, you don't sue the service provider. It's not Google's job to know what you think you own as far as search terms. You sue the company that offends you. Maybe you win. Maybe you get a little common sense stomped into you.
