  1. At some point company X can single you out, on The Hidden Secrets of Online Quizzes · · Score: 1

    but are we there yet? Right now I think it's all about the masses. I don't do those quizzes since I don't need to put my info out "there" like that. I really like the ones that won't give you the results until you enter "your" cell phone number. I have messed around with these quizzes as I am interested by the marketing aspect. I put junk answers/personal info in and just like I use my Google toolbar search box as a single word spell check. I suspect that they dump my answers/search terms as outliers.

  2. The way we did it back in the day... on Rotten Office Fridge Cleanup Sends 7 To Hospital · · Score: 1

    Over at tage.com we had a keg (one of the small ones) in our fridge since no one brought food. You could have some as long as you didn't abuse the privilege. "Abuse" was sort of a moving target depending on the day of the week and the kind of project you were on.

  3. wait... on McDonalds Free Wi-Fi Users Soak Up Seating · · Score: 1

    People spend 35 minutes in McDonald's?

  4. Stuff like this never happens to me...... on Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM · · Score: 1

    I would have given them the big "piss off!". My one Loomis experience...... I pulled out my pistol (FN FiveseveN) in front of a 2 Loomis guards. I did not know they were behind me at the time. I pulled it out as it was in a holster in the small of my back and that is not comfortable when driving. These two morons didn't even notice. I was 30 feet away. I am not a cop, in fact I was dressed in black and getting into a black truck with a black winch bumper. Don't believe me? I called Loomis and complained that these "guards" are blind and dumb. Anchorage Loomis, fall 2007.

  5. When I get a "really good deal" on eBay..... on Alienware Refusing Customers As Thieves · · Score: 1

    I assume it is stolen. When I buy, say a phone sealed in the blister pack for half what BestBuy charges I am pretty sure it fell off the truck. Its all about where you personally draw the line and your risk threshold. I am not sure I would expect support as the poster did in the same instance. I don't know anything about Alienware, but I would have concerns about buying anything that has a high degree of proprietary fittings on/from Ebay.

  6. Set sail on What To Do When a Megacorp Wants To Buy You? · · Score: 1

    Sell out, move on, take a long vacation, go do something else!

  7. While diven, most coders are pretty lazy.......... on Should Developers Be Liable For Their Code? · · Score: 1

    I think this will be good if it comes to pass. We need some accountability in software. No more, blame games, no more sloppy code (yeah right) . I don't care about law suites just sick poorly written code/software.

  8. Uh, already ON TV on Google To Air Chrome Ads On TV · · Score: 1

    I saw one 2 days ago on TV, I think it was during "Bones"

  9. About time... on Law of Armed Conflict To Apply To Cyberwar · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am glad there are some better defined rules for engaging the enemy on this field. Once we can ID the "hackers" and whether they are state sponsored or not we can take an action like sending a cruse missile to their little hacker training camp. Don't know if I am joking? Don't worry your not alone.
