  1. Re:Still not convinced on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 0

    So that would mean that this very secret prototype had no keypad lock so that the founder could access the owner's Facebook account freely ? Sounds weird...

  2. Re:That happens when its BOTH high-fat and high-ca on Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction · · Score: 0

    How about monosodium-glutamate? It's everywhere in potato chips and certainly more, and I heard it was a short term addictive substance, making you take one more, and one more, and one more.

  3. In Europe too on Deposit Checks To Your Bank By Taking a Photo · · Score: 0

    This is actually a great idea. In France checks are widely used, generally by elder people but still. I hate to have to wait until Saturday to get to the bank and wait for 15 minutes to drop a check. And no, you can't send them my mail. It might represent privacy concerns to have a picture of your check sent online, but with proper encryption this should not be a bigger issue than buying something with your credit card online

  4. Re:on positive side on Switzerland Pursues Violent Games Ban · · Score: 0

    That is true, but this also leads to moronic votes, like the bar owners canceling the anti-smoke laws. There is also a propaganda culture in Switzerland (I work there), with shocking and graphical posters to encourage people to have a 'guts' vote instead of a 'brains' one.

  5. Winner history on History In Video Games — a Closer Look · · Score: 0, Insightful

    History used to be made by the winners. Now it's made by the winners who hated history back in high school...

  6. In the Metric System on Sahimo Hydrogen Vehicle Gets Over 1,300 mpg · · Score: 0

    That's only 0.18 l/100km !

  7. In the Metric System... on NSA To Build 20-Acre Data Center In Utah · · Score: 0

    That's almost 81 000 square meters, for sane people.

  8. Huge update on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 0

    I always have wondered: How does such a wolrdwide update work ? Supposedly Mozilla is non-profit, so how do they manage extra bandwidth for the huge load of downloads they are going to get in the next few days ? I'm thinking about the Skype crash, where everyone updated and reconnected at the same time and killed their servers for two days.

  9. Just criss cross on Study Shows "Secret Questions" Are Too Easily Guessed · · Score: 0

    I always choose the question "What is your mother maiden name ?", and answer my pet name...

  10. Re:1994 Floppy Disc on Flash Drive Roundup · · Score: 0

    Sounds like they have the same status as the floppy disc did 15 years ago.

    Except they don't tend to die next to magnets or cell phones !

  11. Re:Sure, but the camel was already broken... on McAfee Sites Vulnerable To XSS Attack · · Score: 0

    AVG seems to have gone more an more popular. Then if you want to look efficient you need at least a 50Mb paint job...

  12. Re:Wouldn't it have been better.... on Speaking With the Devs Behind a 7-Year Game Mod Project · · Score: 0

    there are 100 people who don't like it and just sit around bashing the project, despite never having gotten one off before.

    That's what happens when you try listening too much to the audience. At some point you have to stick with a decision making team, or you'll restart from scratch every few month or so.

  13. Remembers me of this prank on Hundreds of Black Holes Roam Loose In Milky Way · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Anyone remember this prank with the British red devil ? He planted hundreds of dog craps across a walking bridge so you had no way to avoid them...
