  1. Re:Backups on Ransomware Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    My brother bought a large external hard disk and moved all of his data on to it in order to re-format his computer. He then stood up, walked away from his desk, caught the cable around his foot and launched the disk at the opposite wall. Bye bye data.

    Are you talking about Johnny Lee's technique? The one that requires you to wear special glasses?

  3. Re:Not ergonomic at all on BendDesk Merges Computer, Monitor and Desk · · Score: 1

    That doesn't make sense. With this, you have to look at your hands as they will be in direct contact with the part of the screen that you are interested in. Either you have the screen flat on the desk in which case you are constantly looking almost straight down or you have them both vertical in front of you which means keeping your arms raised for extended periods of time. Or you do what Errol suggests and have them both in an ergonomically friendly goldilocks angle. Rather than book stands and writing tables the example I would give is a drawing board - something like this.

    It'll never be the same, though. You don't get the tactile feedback that you get from a real keyboard.

    Yet.

    It probably wouldn't be hard to move that task to the lower plane instead. Also I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to plug a keyboard in and have it sitting on your interactive desk. Seriously, did a touch-screen touch Slashdot as a child or something?

    What about if I register facebook.com (or better still some-online-bank.com) on SunDeNS and make a website that looks identical to the original? There wouldn't be any way to tell the difference other than by comparing IP addresses and somehow knowing which one is right, would there?

    But that was a long time ago.

    I still have to fix IE6 bugs.

    The vast majority of companies still use Windows PCs, largely due to the lock-in which started in Bill's time.

    Gates may no longer be in charge at Richmond but the effects of his thirty-odd years leading one of the most powerful tech companies in the world will be felt for a long time yet.

    That was a strong comment. How about published humorously in as “Dongly Things, A Pox on the Panoply of Plugs,” in US version of MacWorld magazine in September 1996 (p. 140) and republished in his post-humous book, The Salmon of Doubt.

    How the hell is "write" a strong word? When and however it was published, he wrote it.

  23. Re:"Windows game" on PC Gaming 'a Generation Ahead' of Consoles, Says Crytek Boss · · Score: 1

    Are you deliberately trying to miss the point?

    A console's reputation is affected by the games that run on it - whether they are made by the same company that makes the console or by a third-party company.

    Television as a medium has a certain reputation because of all the programs shown on it, even though they weren't made by TV Inc. XBox has a reputation because of all the war played games on it (which in turn have brought all the faggot/nigger-shouters).

    Hypothetical: If Nun Rape 2 came out on Wii then it would become known as a Wii game, whether or not Nintendo made it. It isn't a matter of lock out chips or anything like that, it's the fact that the box will say "Nun Rape 2 - For Nintendo Wii. Now with extra sodomy!" Parents would see that and immediately stop associating the Wii with Cute Puppy Fun Time 1-6 and Flower Arranger Hero and think of it as a tool of the devil corrupting our young.

    Windows isn't as closely associated to games because games are only a part of what you can do on Windows.
