  1. Civilization on Obama Says 3% of GDP Should Fund Science Research And Development · · Score: 1

    If you've played Civilization, we all know that you need to spend at least 50 or 60 percent of all tax revenue on science. Unless you have the Great Library of course.

  2. Re:Welcome to the age on New ICANN TLDs May Cause Internet Land Rush · · Score: 1

    The subject is not part of your damn post. It's really annoying to try to read. Please, stop. It's not clever, it's not cute, it's not informative. You don't type an email like that, why in the hell would you do it here?

    Unfortunately too many people I know actually type e-mails like that. Or worse, they put all the e-mail's content into the subject and send a blank body.

  3. Re:Mythology on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    I got this far down thinking, "Why does no one use mythogical creatures or deities?" I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I have two subnets; one Greco-Roman and one Norse. End-user machines are deities or lesser entities (Nox, Erebus, Kvasiir) and servers and other backend devices are creatures (Pegasus, Argo).

  4. Re:Control+Tab on FireFox 3.1 Leaves IE in the Dust · · Score: 1

    The Ctrl+Tab thing actually kills my productivity. I'm used to focusing on the tab I want at the top and Ctrl+Tabbing until it's highlighted. I may or may not actually remember what the tab looks like.

  5. Re:One Word on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    There's a rather easy way to prevent the popup from showing. It's its own self-contained program, called avnotify.exe. You can just use Security Policy settings to deny access to the file. More information: http://www.tipsfor.us/2007/08/15/make-avira-antivir-free-edition-more-usable/

  6. Dropbox is simple enough on How Would You Prefer To Send Sensitive Data? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've been using Dropbox to move stuff between laboratories that needs to be updated by more than one party. It's all encrypted and stored server-side, and it's pretty much transparent to the end user since you just drop files into what looks like a normal folder. That eschews all the complexity of PGP or making FTP users, and is secure as long as physical access to the machines is locked down.
