  1. You think that was funny? on Opting Out Increases Spam? · · Score: 0

    My project manager thought getting a password reset instruction email with a message "If you did not make this request, simply ignore this email" with a token url, that his account was compromised. I did not even bother explaining.

  2. Good reason.. on F-Secure Suggests Ditching Adobe Reader For Free PDF Viewers · · Score: 0

    For a while now I was ignoring my inner voice yelling "Uninstall Adobe Reader", This sounds like a good reason for me to do that now. Sumatra here I come.

  3. Re:So... on E-Merlin "Super-Telescope" Switched On · · Score: 0

    but seriously it would be awesome to see what the new results look like.

  4. Re:Focus on quality? on Microsoft Asks Open Source Not to Focus On Price · · Score: 0

    then its probably worth it to actually give the Windows converts a chance to play with it first, by live CD or something and then make the switch, after making sure everything works and what they might want to use on a regular basis doesn't drastically change or stop being supported. I think when they are getting it for free it is really worth to spend time getting used to it the way it is.

  5. Re:A matter of the environment? on Where's Your Coding Happy Place? · · Score: 0

    I commented the same for worst working conditions and got "Not Modded".

  6. Re:Need for a satellite on India Launches Its First All-Weather Spy Satellite · · Score: 1

    With a strength of about 57 battalions, or 78,000 men, it is one of the world's largest border patrol forces.

    BSF India already has very good border security force with lots of resources. However, India still needs to invest in these satellite projects for scientific purposes which don't get pushed in country like India, unless "War on terrorism" clauses are used. Yes. I am an Indian too.

  7. "Very ILL" In Hospital ??? on Stephen Hawking Is "Very Ill" In Hospital · · Score: 1

    Who would be "very awesome" in a hospital ? By the way "Very unwell" is a better choice of words.

  8. Futile Effort on UK To Train Pro-West Islamic Groups To Game Google · · Score: 1

    Without dealing with what fundamentally enables a human being to act, these kind of efforts are really futile.
    My example may be bad, but this is slashdot so here it goes:

    Alcohol and Health drinks are equally available and information about both is equally available, however what enables a human being to choose is something that gets ignored all the time.

    Giving only one view of anything will not guarantee that other view will not be searched for, asked about or worse imagined.

  9. awefully awesome experience on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    I once had to hack into a government server with just a laptop in 60 seconds, and a guy pointing gun to my head, and girl giving me a blow job... .. and John Travolta was standing across me and laughing.

  10. Re:I doubt it will work on Microsoft and Yahoo Discussing Search Partnership · · Score: 1

    Google is now synomonous with the internet.

    Just a quick test: you google something, and nothing comes up. Is your first thought "I need to try another search site" or "I need to check my search terms"?
