  1. Re:Virtual Credit Card Numbers on Blippy Exposes Credit Card Numbers Through Simple Google Search · · Score: 2, Informative

    Anybody with a paypal account can do this as well. It is in the Paypal Toolbar section, but you don't actually need the toolbar to be installed to generate them.

  2. Re:Bigger scam for 1-eyed viewers on The Movie Studios' Big 3D Scam · · Score: 1

    Me too! Well, I have two, but only one works.

  3. Re:Fallout on US, Russia Reach Nuclear Arsenal Agreement · · Score: 1

    Oy, that sounds scary.

  4. Awesome on The Pirate Bay Seeks Interesting Route To "Pay" Fine · · Score: 4, Informative

    So for winning the court case, they still have to pay. I approve.

  5. Re:One can dream on Microsoft Ordered To Pay $388 Million In Patent Case · · Score: 1

    Some versions of Professional do this also. Corporate (volume-licensing) versions do not require activation.

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Product_activation_and_verification

  6. Re:Stupid on Proposal Suggests UK Students Study Wikipedia and Twitter · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points, I would definitely mark the parent insightful. Both are very important.

  7. Re:roadkill on Judge Dismisses Google Street View Case · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you're saying if I end up at a dead end, I shouldn't use someone's drive to turn around? Many people have short driveways. Sorry, try again.

  8. Re:On my bed on MIT Team Creates Shock That Recharges Your Car · · Score: 1

    Would you rather deal with noise or air pollution? One of the above will make you miserable tonight, one 20 years down the road.

    Erm... After conferring with someone who has been married for 20 years, they accomplish the same thing eventually.

  9. Re:Pessimists? on Researchers Create Graphite Memory 10 Atoms Thick · · Score: 2, Funny

    More to love :-)

  10. Re:Anonymous Coward on Apple Disables Egyptian iPhones' GPS · · Score: 1
    I haven't seen *any* new car with an ashtray in quite some time.

    :sigh:

  11. Re:Interesting on Lenovo Service Disables Laptops With a Text Message · · Score: 1

    Except for the fact that most laptops lock the HDD when you lock the BIOS. A little harder to work around, I think.

  12. Re:What's the big deal? on Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad · · Score: 1

    I am all for civil liberties, but some people really don't need to be baring much.

  13. Re:Bottlenecks? on World's First 2GB Graphics Card Is Here · · Score: 1

    I know Counter-Strike 1.6 for one gets a bit more glitchy with VSync on. I always force it off and let my gpu render 100fps.

    I think other games get a bit glitchy with it on, also.

  14. Mercedes Lackey on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    I found myself sucked into the Heralds of Valdemar series when I was younger. The concepts aren't complicated at all, and the message was always good. Should be perfect at their age.

  15. Re:Why bother? on Encrypted Traffic No Longer Safe From Throttling · · Score: 1

    Some plugins fetch data from lots of hyperlinks at the same time in order to speed up browsing, IIRC. Odds are it'd be mostly http, but if https was involved, this could throttle them, too.

    It's a really bad idea when the 'innocent' get throttled too. They should err on the side of caution and avoid this.

  16. Re:Patch Tuesday on Firefox Goes for World Download Record · · Score: 1

    This seems wrong to me. Most of the trackers I use will display how many users are on each torrent, number of users that have disconnected/completed and dropped off, etc. It can't be that hard to get a (fairly) sound count of downloads.

  17. Re:A variant on "If you've done nothing wrong..." on US Lawmakers Propose New Net Neutrality Bill · · Score: 1

    Do you really think the telecoms care about whether something is ethical or not? They're out to make money and they are willing to screw the consumer to do it.

  18. Re:Flaw on Microsoft Helps Police Crack Your Computer · · Score: 1

    /.'s parsing messed that up. "net user username newpassword" is the command.

  19. Re:Flaw on Microsoft Helps Police Crack Your Computer · · Score: 1

    You don't even need to do that to reset a windows password. Just boot from a windows 2000 setup disk, it doesn't require a password as the XP disk does. Just boot in recover mode and do "net user "

  20. Re:I have said it before on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 1

    If it was a typo, you'd have meant "Next of sin", "Next of gin", etc. What you had was a brsinfart.

  21. Re:Dear MADD, on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Oh come on, that was funny.

    Your sig is entirely appropriate, if not accurate.

  24. Re:What's worse... on Microsoft Forces Desktop Search On Windows Update · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Name me *one* popular OS that doesn't include the ability to watch vids and listen to music,

    (Most) free Linux distros don't include an mp3 decoder anymore. To my knowledge, you have to install it separately.

  25. Predicting the future... or influencing it? on The Evolution of Language · · Score: 1

    'Lieberman, Michel, and their co-authors project that the next word to regularize will likely be "wed."' It is obvious that because of their relationship issues, they've banded together to try and make references to marriage scarce, and themselves (hypothetically) happier. When we banish the irregular forms of 'wed' from our lexicon, they will see their mistake and start using it again, only to be laughed at by their wedded peers. Duh?
