  1. Re:Analytics reporting blind users? on Giving the Blind Better Web Access · · Score: 1

    Maybe screen readers could add something to the user agent string to allow servers to detect the presence of one and modify the page to better suit them.

  2. ASP.NET problem? Ha! More like Web App Problem on New Crypto Attack Affects Millions of ASP.NET Apps · · Score: 1

    Seems to be more of a problem with the web application and less of ASP.NET. I mean, sure you can get the encryption key to the cookies, but seriously who puts information like a bank balance or a social security number in a cookie anyway? You should have that stored server-side and only use a session id.

  3. Re:So you know they're there on Tearing Apart a Hard-Sell Anti-Virus Ad · · Score: 1

    Avast? Yes I have that, but I turned on the Silent/Gaming mode just to get it to leave me alone. Anti-Virus Vendors: Don't bother me unless there is a problem. I'm sure there is a UI design consideration that says not to bother the user unless they really need to know about the change.

  4. Re:disabling scripts on unfocused tabs? on Tabnapping Scams Around the Corner? · · Score: 1

    That may work for more advanced users, but most new users aren't going to be able to figure it out.

  5. Re:Is data integrity really necessary for large da on New Linux Petabyte-Scale Distributed File System · · Score: 1

    If that were to happen, I'd finally be able to get a low UID!

  6. Re:Do we really WANT higher resoltuion displays? on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    I just figure the more letters it has in it, the better it is.

  7. Re:Why free? on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    My university installs Kaspersky on all the laptops they give out to students, and it makes all the laptops horribly slow.

  8. Re:logmein.com on Simple, Free Web Remote PC Control? · · Score: 1

    Another vote for logmein.com. I use it and it really is quite good.

  9. Re:Probably wasn't the case here.. on Robbery Suspect Cleared By Facebook Alibi · · Score: 1

    Facebook would never work on Lynx.

  10. Re:My trifecta on Commercial Fuel From Algae Still Years Away · · Score: 1

    I just use a really long extension cord.

  11. Re:To Mac or Not on Best Developer's Laptop? · · Score: 1

    As I am a developer, I'm interested to hear just what makes the mac better for development.

  12. Re:Its justified price on Why Games Cost $60 · · Score: 1

    $15 for a movie ticket? Where are you going? It only costs $7.50 for me.

  13. Re:Windows-only? on Firefox To Replace Menus With Office Ribbon · · Score: 1

    You haven't used Windows 7 yet have you?

  14. Re:trap on Microsoft Launches Its Own Open Source Foundation · · Score: 1

    Why not? I've already sent them my code to all my proprietary applications. The ones that make me and my company millions of dollars. They were very happy to get it and thanked me a lot! I'd say that everyone should post their code.

  15. Re:Now it's remote, now it's local, repeat on Microsoft Aims To Cure Server-Hugging Engineers · · Score: 1

    What happens when the network connected power button fails?

    You put a network connected power button on the network connected power button.

  16. Re:Pay to email on Has Google Broken JavaScript Spam Munging? · · Score: 1

    I know I wouldn't pay to send a simple email to somebody. But it does *sound* like it would work.

  17. Re:Brilliant Marketing Plan on Windows 7 Will Be Free For a Year · · Score: 1

    They have partial support for my 680i motherboard. It doesn't have the network adapter combining feature yet, but it has the other stuff.

  18. Re:Firefox Replacement on Minefield Shows the (Really) Fast Future of Firefox · · Score: 5, Informative

    These are the nightly builds, once they like how the nightly builds work, they will release them as a "Firefox" update.

  19. Multiplayer on Review: Spore · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think it could really use a multiplayer where you and friends could be in the same "world" and be able to help/complete with each other.

  20. Re:Ha! See! I told you! on Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head · · Score: 1

    1. Listening to music as loud as you want while not forcing it on others

    And not damaging your eardrums.

  21. Re:So ... let met be the first to ask ... on "Intrepid" Supercomputer Fastest In the World · · Score: 0

    But to really get smoothness, you need $3,000 for tri-SLI!

  22. Re:My wife on Using Magnets To Turn Off the Brain's Speech Center · · Score: 1

    Where can I give money for this idea?

  23. Re:If there is one lesson that I have learned on Network Solutions Advertises On Your Sub-Domains · · Score: 1

    I have yet to have any issues with GoDaddy either.

  24. Linux on Gartner Analysts Warn That Windows Is Collapsing · · Score: 1

    I personally don't think Linux is ready to take the load and replace windows quite yet. It's almost their but not there. Things like games, or ease of use for those who have no idea what a computer is.

  25. EU on Should Microsoft Be Excluded From EU Government Sales? · · Score: 1

    Has anyone noticed that the EU seems to go after Microsoft, but ignores Apple when they do things just as bad?
