  1. Does it have to be either/or? on Nielsen Recommends Not Masking Passwords · · Score: 1

    Maybe make an option for dotless login, so that people can use it if they choose. Accompanied, of course, by adequate (?) warnings about shoulder-surfers and safe environments. It could be under the accessibility umbrella.

  2. Re:Yes on Narcissistic College Graduates In the Workplace? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Jeez - where did you go to college? Silver Spoon U? The state school I graduated from a few years ago had many students who were the first college attendees in their families. We worked hard and didn't expect favors. You'll find what you look for in life. If you're looking for whiny unrealistic brats, that's what you'll see. If you look for hard-working joes, that's what you'll find.

  3. Re:What's with the numbers? on Image of Popeye Enters Public Domain In the EU · · Score: 1

    It's not whether it's patent or copyright, it's that the numbers don't add up. I'm completely ignorant of the law, but there's a problem with the numbers as stated in the article.

  4. What's with the numbers? on Image of Popeye Enters Public Domain In the EU · · Score: 1

    If the EU patent expired 70 years after the death of the creator, then he died in 1938/39. If the US patent expires 95 years after that, that will be in 2033/34. So where do we get 2024? Is that a misprint? Or is the 95 year figure a misprint?

  5. Re:Try Dry loop DSL on Broadband Access Without the Pork? · · Score: 1

    I called and asked about dry loop with AT&T here in Chicago, and they confirmed it and said it was an extra $10/month, in addition to whatever broadband charges I pay. That's almost more than I'd save by switching, so I didn't.

  6. About the design... on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 1

    I'm clueless about the materials, but you should think about making the design with Borromean Rings. :-)
