  1. Flashback on Verifying Passwords By the Way They're Typed · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing a demo of such a system in a trade show back the 1980s. The password was written on a piece of cardboard and placed prominently by the PC, and visitors were encouraged to try to enter it successfully. None could, even when we mimicked the typing speed and characteristics of the guy who was giving the demo.

  2. Re:Huh on Computer Records Hold Key In IMF Head's Sexual Assault Case · · Score: 1

    The easiest is the simple butthole clench. It alters your blood pressure instantly, which affects the results of the polygraph.

    Er, wrong. I remember reading an article in Wired a couple of years ago in which the author tried this trick to no avail. Of course, this is assuming you believe the article.

  3. Re:Bitcoin - on Mint It Yourself With a Browser-Based Bitcoin Miner · · Score: 2

    Yeah, but if you figure out how to use the processor on your sound card you can make it up in volume.

  4. Re:Dangerous on Worm Descendants From Columbia Disaster Relaunched · · Score: 1

    "They put little creatures in our ears!"

  5. Re:Wrong place on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    Death by electric chair, of course.

  6. Re:Common Sense on GSM Association Slams Euro Call For Ban On Wireless In School · · Score: 1

    Kids are already tempted to set off false alarms. The prospect of being able to make cell phone calls is only going to encourage them to set off more false alarms.

  7. Re:Who Cares?? Its None Of Our Business on Thousands Marched Against Censorship · · Score: 1

    Regardless of their values, people generally want the ability to decide what they and their family are exposed to without having that decision made for them by any government. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative.

  8. Re:No Texting While Driving! on Cellphones Get Government Chips For Disaster Alert · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And I wouldn't worry about political spam. The first administration that abuses it for that purpose will be thrown out of office in no time at all.

    Right. Because even far more egregious abuses of power, such as unconstitutional, warrantless search and seizure, have always resulted in the current ruling party being thrown out in a timely fashion.

  9. Re:The Slashdot system seems to work pretty well on Ask Slashdot: Going Beyond Comment Threads? · · Score: 1

    Somebody please mod parent down.

  10. Re:Experienced only? on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 1

    Your weekends are free, and yet in ten years you have yet to create a single personal project? Turn in your geek card immediately. You are exactly the type of person I would be extremely reluctant to hire. I'm sure you're the nicest person in the world, and maybe even halfway competent at your job, but you simply don't have the drive that employers are looking for.

  11. Re:Programming in the future on JavaScript Gets Visual With Waterbear · · Score: 1

    You're right: when everything is icon-based, there's no way to click on the wrong icon. If only we could eliminate that pesky keyboard, our programs would then be 100% free of bugs.

  12. Re:My brain... on Real Life Farmville · · Score: 1

    All I know is that chicken nuggets come from hydroponically grown chicken seeds; no animals are bred or slaughtered in the process.

  13. Re:Woah woah woah on Comet Hale-Bopp 'Frozen To Death' · · Score: 1

    Your computer has 2GB RAM. You take away 8GB. How much memory is left in your computer?

  14. Re:Javascript Monkeys on Inside Mozilla's New JavaScript JIT Compiler · · Score: 1

    It's monkeys all the way down.

  15. Re:Leprosy can be cured. on Yes, an Armadillo Can Give You Leprosy · · Score: 2

    I'll bet she got a prescription for Placebomoxin. That stuff can cure anything. Who says Big Pharma is all bad?

  16. Re:Only half as good as Chome on Firefox 5 In Aurora Channel · · Score: 1

    I support FOSS Libya!

    FTFY

  17. Re:yes on NZ MP Enjoys Copyright Infringement, Votes For 3 Strikes · · Score: 1

    Each song should count as one strike. No, wait--every time she listens to any one of those songs should count as a strike.

  18. Re:Law enforcement... on Self-Wiping Hard Drives From Toshiba · · Score: 1

    Wait, you actually trust your teenage daughter? So much for security.

  19. Re:implications on Involuntary Geolocation To Within One Kilometer · · Score: 1

    Ask the target computer's sysadmin to call you when they receive the packet and tell you exactly when it arrived.

  20. Re:Bugzilla alternatives on Better Open Source Communities Through Data · · Score: 1

    If you can't cope with large numbers of bug reports from non-technical people then your application is broken.

    FTFY

  21. What makes them connected to the murder? on FBI Wants You To Solve Encrypted Notes From Murder · · Score: 1

    If they're encrypted, they could be anything (e.g. a recipe). What makes the FBI so sure they're clues to the murder?

  22. Re:will he go to jail? on Google Engineer Releases Open Source Bitcoin Client · · Score: 1

    I think Johnny Cash's lawyers might have had a problem with that.

  23. Replace "protests" with "ponies" on China Starts Censoring Phone Calls Mid Sentence · · Score: 1

    Repeat for all such words that censors would take note of. Problem solved.

  24. Re:That's alright on Ask Slashdot: Huge Digital Media Libraries · · Score: 1

    1000 Goatse.
    1001 2girls1cup.
    1010 MILFs.

    Where does it end?
