Personally, I don't think there will ever be an effective CAPTCHA or similar image-based technology. Someone will always come out with a better algorithm to beat them.
Part of my job involves helping people reset their passwords. I'm amazed at the number of people who insist on using their usernames, the word 'password' or some variation thereof as their password.
I hope we reclaim out civil freedoms as well; I'm really starting to miss them. Obama is not doing the job we elected him to do. This is starting to get frightening.
Agreed. And I'm amused by the fact that Dell's #1 reason people would want to use Ubuntu is that they do not plan to use Windows. Really informative guys. Great job.
If they were really interested in marketing Ubuntu, they might have displayed at least one actual reason they might want to get it that didn't involve terms like 'open-source programming' which most people don't understand.
Yes, absolutely. The faults of "big government" are caused by those transnational corporations bribing our politicians (or to put it politely, "Lobbying").
I wish more people would see this, but guess what issue is least accurately covered by the transnational corporate media? "Lobbying".
In a tragedy reported today, Superman was looking at the sky during the GRB event and was blinded due to his X-ray vision. Reports say that he is now training with a seeing-eye falcon.
Agreed. I've never completely trusted the various efforts to create online identification systems, though I'll admit that it wasn't because of this possibility. I guess I'll just continue not using them.
When they came out with the Euro symbol, it didn't take that long for it to be added using software patches and the like. I don't see much of a problem.
Anyone using Windows for anything essential needs to re-evaluate their software choices. How many times have we heard the story "Malware targets flaw in Windows"?
I'm okay with this. This has no bearing on free speech because the comments are going on a private website.
However, I think 99 cents is a little excessive. I think 10 cents would be plenty; I don't think that most trollers would be interested in spending even that much on a regular basis.

Hey, I just had a thought... could this technology be used somehow in the space program?

I don't see how counterfeit products could do much damage to the US job market. Most of the legit products are made overseas too, right?

Heheh. I can't wait to see this one become a flop too. Microsoft really needs to work on their ability to put out useful stuff.
Yeah, Microsoft already has our money. Why would they bother trying to fix the problems? This is the problem with near-monopolies.
Hah, at least it's doing better than the last attempt at a solar sail spacecraft. Who the heck chose a submarine launch for that one anyway?
Awesome! I think I'm going to go install Wine. So that I can run software to organize my collection of wine. While I'm drinking wine. Who's with me?
Yes, absolutely. The faults of "big government" are caused by those transnational corporations bribing our politicians (or to put it politely, "Lobbying").

Yeah, I'm only 100% against this. But it will probably happen. If only my opinions were more effective at influencing tangible objects and events...
Astronomy! Now brought to you by needlessly proprietary corporate software. Get your Microsoft-branded asteroid today!

I'm considering my personal blog to out-of-country hosting. I'm dubious about anything that subverts that many expressions of free speech.
And just to drive the point home, it shows the old-timey Sad Mac symbol.
Car wrecks in video games: now with hyper-realistic glass shattering sounds! Coming to a store near you.

Actually, this is great. I generate tons of sweat when I go biking; can I use that to power one of those water-powered digital clocks?
LAZARS! The best way to stop any threat. Falling satellites? Lasers! Massive earthquakes? LAZARS! The Bubonic Plague? SUPER-LAZARZ!
And if you can attach them to cats, all the better.
Picture or it didn't happen!

Quick! Everyone put on Larry King masks so all the billboards turn into adult diaper ads!
