  1. Re:Education vs Vocation on The Case For Mandatory Touch-Typing In High School · · Score: 1

    You get an education to be more productive in your job, whatever that job may be. Touch-typing fits in perfectly.

  2. Re:Blaming the tools, instead of the behaviour... on Password Hackers Do Big Business With Ex-Lovers · · Score: 1

    You should if you expect your ex to go snooping.

  3. Spots on Irish Astronomers Investigate Sky Explosion · · Score: 4, Funny

    Of all the spots our new overlords can land, they coose *Ireland?* Geesh.

  4. Re:So much for "Redmond, start your copiers" on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    Tabs on top was Google, not Apple.

  5. Re:Dreamweaver on Replacements For Adobe Creative Suite 3 Apps? · · Score: 1

    I heavily prefer Aptana Studio (from http://aptana.com/ ) over Dreamweaver. It's more programmer-oriented than designer-oriented, though, and it doesn't have WYSIWYG, but it has nice FTP support, high productivity and great extendability (there are Eclipse plugins for the weirdest things).

  6. Re:ONE THOUSAND?! on One Crime Solved Per 1,000 London CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    I agree. With a speed limit of 60, lots of people go 62 or 65 out of habit (or 'otherwise I'll hold up the traffic'), and I never understood why.

  7. Re:Why restrict this to the blind? on BrainPort Lets the Blind "See" With Their Tongues · · Score: 1

    Reading you email while driving without hitting anything? Won't someone think of the children?

  8. Fill in the gap on Dutch Gov. Wants To Tax Online Media To Fund Print · · Score: 1

    Don't you think that disappearing quality dead-tree newspapers will eventually be replaced by quality bits-n-bytes news sources? There will always be a need for quality news coverage, be it digital or not.

  9. Only for casual gamers on New Super Mario Bros. Wii To Include Official "Cheat" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Winning by cheating just isn't the same as winning 'for real'.

    I may catch on with the casual gamers, though.

  10. Agreed. on China To Crack Down On "Undesirable" Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    China has the power to do many things other coutries frown upon. Of all the things they did, I think this one is the least disturbing.

    Nothing to see here, move along.

  11. Chances on Hackers Find Remote iPhone Crack · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well, it's all just chance calculation. Let's say that 1 million iPhones/iPod Touches were sold. Let us then assume that 0.5 percent of the people that buy an iPhone are Evil Haxx0rz and want to hack their new phone. I guess that no more that a half percent of *that* group succeed in finding a way to execute arbitrary code.

    One of the 25 is holding his speech at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas.

  12. H2G2 on Using Mobile Phones To Write Messages In Air · · Score: 1, Insightful

    For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive--you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program.

  13. Re:Fine on Security Firms Fined Over Never-Ending Subscriptions · · Score: 0

    There *is* a checkbox to check that you understand the terms on which you buy the product. It's labeled 'I Agree'. Most people click it blindly without agreeing at all.

  14. 2009: on Apple Removes Nearly All Reference To ZFS · · Score: 0

    The Year of the ZFS Desktop! Oh, wait...

  15. Re:"Anti-Piracy Dog" on Anti-Piracy Dog Uncovers Huge Cache of Discs · · Score: 0

    Woof! ©

  16. Re:I really like Opera but on First Beta of Opera 10 Released · · Score: 0

    neither Chrome or IE8 work on Linux

    I managed to compile the Chromium alpha all right on my standard Ubuntu machine by following the instructions on the wiki. It's a fast, handy browser (slightly incomplete, but hey, it's alpha), it feels polished for such a new browser and it didn't crash on me yet. It may be worth a shot.

  17. International on Xbox To Get Live TV and Massive VOD Update · · Score: 0

    Are there any plans for getting it out of the Kingdom?

  18. Re:They're asking to be sued over that moniker on Microsoft Rebrands Live Search As "Bing" · · Score: 0

    I agree that it's utterly stupid, but Google isn't very descriptive for people that don't know it either.

  19. Re:$800 bucks? Is it diamond encrusted? on Build an $800 Gaming PC · · Score: 0

    You use your $$$ Playstation 3 to play DOS games? I could have given you something that plays DOS games for half price (evil grin)

  20. Re:Vim on What Free IDE Do You Use? · · Score: 0

    I can hear an echo in here.

  21. Re:Starting a war on Should We Just Call Dog Breeds a Different Species? · · Score: 0

    We saw what you did down there!

  22. Re:Irony on Judge Reviewing Pirate Bay Trial Bias Is Removed · · Score: 0

    The Judges are nothing. Jus' wait for the Ninjas to show up!

  23. Re:Now If We Could Just Get ... on Dell Indicates Windows 7 Pricing Will Be Higher · · Score: 0

    My Logitech webcam doesn't work at all in Windows ME, works only with a CD on XP and does absolutely nothing on Vista.

    With the newest Ubuntu, it works. Flawlessly. No problem. Plug it in, boot, work.

    All in all, I disagree.

  24. Re:Over-reaching much? on RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation · · Score: 0

    I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
    With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
    But I knew I was out of luck
    The day the music died.

  25. Protocol on Using Conficker's Tricks To Root Out Infections · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What if Conficker D changes its 'protocol' and marks every computer that sends an 'old message' as either a host that needs updating or a nmapping attacker/next victim?
