  1. Just like SSH on In Australia, Rising VoIP Attacks Mean Huge Bills For Victims · · Score: 0

    They're mostly brute force attacks. There need to be limits put in place. Same thing happens with SSH all the time. Hasn't stopped for years. I doubt it will.

  2. AI on Gaming Mouse Changes Shape For a Custom Fit · · Score: 0

    I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a userinterface that just pretends to give you control, when really it just arbitarily decides what moives you want to watch, what games you want to paly etc .. then when you're in it .. maybe it could just read your brain waves and guess what you'd like to do.

  3. What are they doing there? on US Military Orders Less Dependence On Fossil Fuel · · Score: 0

    I still don't understand what they're actually doing being in Afghanistan in the first place. Haven't they got enough problems at home to deal with?

    You must be entrenched in something, you're trying to add disclaimers to not be held responsible!

    Don't worry it's only the internet!

    Just get rid of all of the polticians. What use are they anyway?

    Or they could just start another war.

    I like them tight.

  8. Small text on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 1

    What I don't understand is why so few software supports making everything bigger on 1920x1080/1920x1200. It gets hard to see everything for me.

    In windows 7 if you change the DPI settings higher then some dialogs don't work properly. And MacOS doesn't even seem to have a nice way to make things large.

    Then in Linux all the fonts look terrible at higher text sizes..

    That's one of the reasons I upgraded from a 24" 1920x1080 monitor to a 27" 1920x1200 monitor. It seems you actually want about 30" or so for 1920x1080 to be usable nicely though.

    Lots of friendships die anyway. You win some you lose some.

  10. 1920x1080 to 1920x1200 on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's really annoying. I upgraded from 1920x1080 to 1920x1200. It's quite a lot nicer. But to be able to get something affordable I went second hand from already owning a new monitor. That said, I upgraded from 24 to 27" at the same time, and I find it a lot nicer.

    Curiously enough my 32" LCD TV that does 1080p isn't a lot bigger than the 27" monitor. I was using that as a monitor for a while, but I wanted more resolution.

    Still, I'd like a bit more than 1200 pixels. But to go above that is EXTREMELY expensive.
