  2. Re:Until artificial limits are removed... on Deloitte: Use a Longer Password In 2013. Seriously. · · Score: 1

    The bank I'm with makes lower and uppercase the same. I can leave caps lock on when I'm typing in my password and it doesn't make any difference.

    uTorrent does have a scheduler that can choose from full speed, limited, seeding only and off based on time and day of the week.

  4. Re:pay per use: 50 cents per document save on Office 2013: Microsoft Cloud Era Begins In Earnest · · Score: 1

    The whole concept here is like a terminator crop from monsanto where you do all the work raising the seed but it won't grow unless you pay Monsanto for the magic chemical it has been engineered to need.

    Didn't they try something similar in Jurassic Park.

    Or late game in Sins of a Solar Empire where my GPU is sometimes almost idling because the one CPU core its using is at 100%. I would have thought running hundreds of AI subroutines would be easy to multithread. Makes me want to get a i5 to replace my AMD Athlon II that was mid-low end when I brought it 3 years ago

  7. Re:Online banking uses outdated crypto on German Court Rules That Clients Responsible For Phishing Losses · · Score: 1

    I noticed recently that my bank doesn't differentiate between lower and uppercase in both the username and password fields. Found out when I decided to change some of the letters in my password to uppercase and it complained that the old and new passwords were the same.

  11. Re:Thank god we still have Radio Shack on The Gradual Death of the Brick and Mortar Tech Store · · Score: 3, Informative

    Isn't 1/5 a bit generous. I went into one last year and the only electronics stuff they had was a soldering iron. I think at the time I was looking for some solder which they didn't have. Jaycar is the place to go for electronics stuff in Aus/NZ

    The main difference, of course, as that the UK PM is discussing the action before just plain doing it without informing the public.

    Yes, it's always so much better when the rapist let's you know he's going to rape you before he does it.

    Rape, when it's discussed and agreed upon beforehand, is called consensual sex.

    Or gang rape.

    You just need to invent floating cameras that follow people around.

  19. Re:Joe Sixpack isn't even using his 1080p right on Beyond HDTV · · Score: 1

    Quite a while ago, I saw a some marketing for a monitor (I think it was a BenQ) that was claiming that 16:9 is better than 16:10 because then you don't have black bars at the top and bottom. I currently have a 16:9 monitor and all the movies still have black bars because movies are shot in some insane widescreen format.

    The last flash drive I brought from transcend had some autorun software on it that was trying to sign me up for a lifetime warranty. My antivirus did notice the autorun and put a stop to it and then I just formatted the thing.
