  1. Re:With great freedom comes great resposibility on Intego's "Year In Mac Security" Report · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with jailbreaking or upgrading the OS (which flashes the firmware). The password Alpine only leaves those vulnerable who were savvy enough to install SSH, but not smart enough to change the pass.

  2. Re:Rules 1 through 7 of using a Cell Phone on The Cell Phone Has Changed — New Etiquette Needed · · Score: 1

    I also have a collar bone, but I didn't get it from talking on the phone.

  3. Re:"Perfect"??? on Researchers Claim "Effectively Perfect" Spam Blocking Discovery · · Score: 1

    Dude, hurry up and pass the bong. You're fucking up the rotation.

  4. Re:We do this... on Affordable and Usable Video Conferencing? · · Score: 1

    what article? there's only a summary which is the entire Ask Slashdot.

  5. Re:PR Spin on Microsoft Patches "Google Hack" Flaw In IE · · Score: 1

    Probably a googol Internet dollars. At today's conversion rates, that's roughly a brazillion USD.

  6. Re:WTF! FORCED SHUTDOWN on Microsoft Patches "Google Hack" Flaw In IE · · Score: 1

    My XP SP3 gave the dialog of restart now or later via Microsoft Update. So I chose later. Odd that directly getting the patch would be different.

  7. Re:AT&T on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 1

    If you can't speak for the west coast, why are you mentioning Portland and Seattle?

    For what it's worth, my coverage in Philly and NOLA were ubershitty too. It's not dead areas, it's not being able to support the amount of devices that you have sold and are in proximity to one of your towers.

  8. Re:AT&T on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 1

    Have you used AT&T in a major city? I'm busy wearing out the Mark the Spot app up and down the west coast.

  9. Re:Consumer Reports report regularly on performanc on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 1

    Rather slow? Most of the bay has horrible quality of service.

  10. huh? on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is like asking what is your preferred way of being tortured. They all have negatives and are would not exist if they had the competition that Europe does. AT&T doesn't care to increase their network, T-Mobile doesn't have real 3G, Sprint and Verizon are still CDMA so you'll have to get a really expensive world phone if you want to go back overseas... Better off sending telegrams.

  12. Re:Why bother? on Malicious App In Android Market · · Score: 1

    Yes, tons of people don't know the difference.

  13. Re:Used in other places, too on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    That's odd, all the banks in the states have car parks. But then again, everything in the states have parking lots.

  14. Re:Used in other places, too on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    They've eliminated drive-ups. Like RockDoctor says, you park and go to an ATM or inside.

  15. Re:Used in other places, too on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    I'm mainly on the west coast, perhaps you are correct for your area

  16. Re:Big supermarkets have them here. on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    It'll cost more than $500 to dig it up, and repave so it's probably a lost cause. That's pretty foresighted.

  17. Re:This must have had the endorsement of.... on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    I've been saying this since the beginning, it's how I would also explain "a series of tubes" to the laymen. Thank you Edllll The e-mail part was way off but people mock him for his reference which is apt for really low level explanations.

  18. Re:Used in other places, too on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    Where do they still have those? I haven't seen them in over a decade.

  19. Re:Used in other places, too on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    how long has NYC had a private mail force? Or are you referring to USPS?

  20. Re:Used in other places, too on Pneumatic Tube Communication In Hospitals · · Score: 1

    I don't know what you experience, but I live in the state capital of a major state (so we have new technology, and even old school like you are referring) and this doesn't happen. A pharmacist still has to sign off on it, so where is the savings?

    Also, bank pneumatic devices stopped being used at least 10 years ago here, both in drive through and locally.

  21. Re:They had to Queue? on 2010 Bug Plagues Germany · · Score: 1

    That is a similar topic. It has a lot to do with a 2010 bug in Germany cards. Perhaps Tigger was the programmer.

  22. Re:They had to Queue? on 2010 Bug Plagues Germany · · Score: 1

    I dont think I could get money from a teller. I walk up, "Hi, I want money" ... "okay fill out this form" ... "i dont know my account number" ... "okay, bye have a nice day then"

  23. Re:gaaah, link to a fucking video on Ocean-Crossing Dragonflies Discovered · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, there was no real article. It wasted my time clicking on the link because I wanted to skim an article, not watch someone um and ah for awhile. A video tag would be useful.

    There are scores of TVs that include HDMI and not VGA.
