  1. Re:Hah! Take that, my bank! on Hotmail No Longer Accepts Long Passwords, Shortens Them For You · · Score: 1

    Well instead of a lockout, how about a delay between attempts. It could be 2-5 seconds whcih won't really effect most normal people, but would stop people from trying to bruit force a password by making it take way to long to try.

  2. Re:It's a screen with a keyboard... on Microsoft Surface, Meet Apple iSurface · · Score: 3, Interesting

    dufuq did I just read? How can anyone compare hating Apple to Racism? I really don't like Apple stuff, but I have a reason. I have how overpriced it is, I hate how locked down it is, I hate how Apple abuses the legal system like suing everyone and the time they had people pose as cops. Mostly I hate having to use iTunes to sync any music/video to the player as I don't want to have to sort through my full library just to add a few songs because doing it that way is way slower and less covenant then just copying a few folders and moving them directly.

    The only good thing I can say is that everyone has some sort of iPod dock for everything and it would be nice to have an alarm clock that can connect to my MP3 player.

  3. Silly on IT Support Pro Tells Why He Hates Live Chat · · Score: 1

    I find live chat to be helpful. So it might take a few more minutes to get things done. I think the extra time is worth it as a bad connection could leave both sides asking to repeat something a few times to get it right, or just close enough. With the written word it is clear as day and something can be reread to be understood.

  4. Looking forward to this one. on Space Fish: ISS Aquatic Habitat Delivered By HTV-3 · · Score: 1

    I would love to learn more about how Fish can live in space and even what changes will need to be made for a tank to work in space. This is a new experament idea and one I am very interested in seeing explored and seeing how it turns out.

  5. Not fully true on The Nation Is Losing Its Toolbox · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who is rebuilding his house almost fully by himself. He had some help and on a few occasions had someone else do something he could not figure out himself or just was not able to do on his own (like tile work or working in the small crawl spaces of his attic attic) but other then that he has been DIY for several rooms of his house and done it all very well.

  6. Re:Sad, but we let them do this. on AT&T Introducing Verizon-Style Shared Data Plans · · Score: 2

    You do know the comment about 'outdated devices' only meant you don't need to buy a new phone every year or two just because there is something new out. You can get that nexus and as long as it don't break, will give you years of use and not need to be tossed out because something slightly better comes out in a few months.

  7. Re:I for one on Rethinking How Congress Pushes Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Wow and I just have to be out of mod points. Shame you posted as AC tho :(

  8. Found a use for this pic on South Korea Will Revisit Plan To Nix Evolution References in Textbooks · · Score: 1

    http://i.imgur.com/lnIee.jpg

    I think that makes it clear that I disagree with removing evolution material from textbooks.

  9. Re:what does this mean for all websites? on ADA May Force Netflix To Provide Closed Captioning On Content · · Score: 1

    They would not need to be so specific. "woman moans" well that would be it....unless I am wrong, but since I really only care for lesbian porn I might be.

  10. Re:Is that serious, or a straw man? on ADA May Force Netflix To Provide Closed Captioning On Content · · Score: 1

    Depends, I am sure if a person is doing it privately, they can (as long as they find someone to host the ad that is).

  11. Re:Ugh on Google Vs. Microsoft: a Tale of Two Interviews · · Score: 1

    I agree. I don't know why anyone post that stuff other then just silly trolling. Although it can be worse as I remember when some people posted scary images on /.

  12. Re:Pirate proof on Windows 8 Pre RTM Metro UI Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yeah...I would not get this for free, legal or not. I don't like the lack of Aero or the Metro UI, but I had to hack the quick launch back in because I was upset they removed it.

  13. Interesting on Aussie Online Retailer Impose IE7 Tax · · Score: 5, Insightful

    While I am sure there will be people complaining, I do have to say I think this is a good idea. It helps get people to using more up to date web browser and stops dragging things along. It also helps keep prices low by making those people help pay the extra coast to keep there outdated browser still working for this their site.

  14. Sure...not! on US Senators Concerned With Surveillance Bill "Loophole" · · Score: 0

    I really don't believe anyone would try to "minimize" the data collected and stored on Americans. I think this loophole was intentional, but what can I do about it?

  15. Re:Why am I thinking of the old Clippy cartoon... on Kinect: You Are the Controlled · · Score: 0

    "barely legal MILF transgender hotties"

    This thread is the first and second on google listing for that phrase.

  16. Re:How is this legal? on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 0

    I guess we know that person is not Homer Simpson, although I rather have MD then crab juice too.

  17. Re:Get a refill.. on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 0

    That is not true

    "The ban would restrict the sale of sodas to no more than 16-ounces, and would apply to both fountain and bottled drinks. It would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy or alcoholic drinks. Sodas sold at grocery and convenience stores would be exempt as well."

    So the 2-liter bottles would still be sold.

  18. Re:Meanwhile... on Ask Slashdot: Movie/Video Search Aggregation? · · Score: 0

    Then why are you here reading about someone ask this question instead of talking to and with people working on those problems?

  19. Re:Anti-Gay? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 0

    Yes it dose make you anti gay. You are not being forced to see or play through such a relationship, it is only being given as an option for those who want it. So your saying that anyone else who dose not think as you do should not get a chance to express themselves or to let their beliefs be expressed.

    Frankly by saying it is a sin, you shown where you stand. You are a religious type who is very narrow minded. While I disagree with what you believe in, i won't try to force my viewpoints across you as long as you don't try to force yours onto me.

  20. Re:Linux on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 0

    Because there are more windows users. Also windows uses a macro kernel design which allows for more ease in finding and using exploits for a larger user base of computer users.

  25. Re:Ferrari without a paint job on X-Men Origins Pirate Draws a 1-Year Sentence · · Score: 0

    I agree. I was not much of a deadpool fan, but when I saw the movie, I thought it was just some random generic bad guy with powers and I was stunned speechless when I was told "that" was deadpool.
