  1. Re:Does that mean... on New Improvements On the Attacks On WPA/TKIP · · Score: 1

    Why not just use a pass phrase? "The Lord of the Rings is the Worst Series Ever Written" is a perfectly good one!

  2. Re:What's old is new on How To Enter Equations Quickly In Class? · · Score: 1

    The problem of course if bad handwriting. If my handwriting was like Dijkstra's, I would definitely write a lot... But most CS students have bad handwriting... so we hate to write. And we type faster on a computer too. So if we just could type formulas as fast as text...

  3. Re:transparent system tray in awn on Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" RC Hits the Streets With Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    I got more vertical space in firefox with Hide menubar, Hide caption (makes firefox chromeless) and tree-style tabs.

  4. Re:Separate SVN deploys on How Do You Manage Dev/Test/Production Environments? · · Score: 1

    When the systems you're working on have certain sensitivities (legal, patent, security, etc), this can be a major weakness.

    As if losing the repository history is so more dangerous than losing the current version...
    If that is a concern, you should encrypt your repository, or subdivide it in sensitive and insensitive parts.

  5. Re:MS Office isn't very compatible, either on Sneak Preview of New OpenOffice 3.2 · · Score: 1

    I saved a document as ODF from Word 2007, and it had lost some labels on a graph when I reopened it a second later.

  6. Re:Compatibility is still the biggest problem on Sneak Preview of New OpenOffice 3.2 · · Score: 1

    I saved a file as ODF in Word 2007, and reopened it one second later and it had lost some labels on my graph. When there's problems within the same program, it's not strange that there's problems across different programs.

    So you're saying that there's actually people that believe that you can get a day ahead by traveling around the earth?

  8. Re:That's very nice, but on World of Goo Creators Try Pick-Your-Price Experiment · · Score: 1

    I got this game as a Steam gift on Christmas, but the Steam version doesn't give you access to the Linux version. So I just had to buy it again to support the Linux port, and play the game on Linux!

  9. Re:Another overlooked e-mail strength on Yet Another Premature Declaration of Email's Death · · Score: 1

    Oh, didn't you hear. Google wave is not single-source. You can deploy it yourself, and you can collaborate with others on doing that.

  10. Re:Okay... on Facebook User Arrested For a Poke · · Score: 1

    As said many times previously, don't you think it's a good idea to unfriend the person who's harassing you if it upsets you?

    The fact that they have a policy for cleaning the logs

    TFA:

    without an official policy governing how it may use or store the data.

    though there is no official policy.

    When you signed the contract, both parties agreed to deliver something in return for something. If one of the parties doesn't hold up their part, they can invalidate the contract. But you can't invalidate the contract just because someone accuse you of breaking your part.

    Make a copy to the hard drive whenever you're not compiling.

  16. Re:SSDs = productivity on Can SSDs Be Used For Software Development? · · Score: 1

    Have you tried creating a ramdisk? Wouldn't it give most of the same benefits, if the ramdisk is big enough to contain the files you use to compile?

  18. Re:Call me crazy on Don't Like EULAs? Get Your Cat To Agree To Them · · Score: 1

    So if you open the EULA, walk away because you're thinking about whether to accept or not, and the cat who you've explicitly told NOT to walk on the keyboard disobeys you and happens to hits accept, you're bound to the agreement?

  19. Re:And yet... on 1 of 3 Dell Inspiron Mini Netbooks Sold With Linux · · Score: 1

    If you really want you can ask for a computer without and OS from Dell. I don't think they'll cut the price though, so buying and disagreeing with the EULA is probably better.
