  1. What about Google Analytics? on Google Switching to SSL By Default For Logged-In Users · · Score: 1

    It's funny to think about Google hiding referrer data from their own service.

  2. Actually... on Cheap GPUs Rendering Strong Passwords Useless · · Score: 1

    I can break a password of 'fjR8n' in less time than the GPU.

    fjR8n

    see?

  3. Re:Well you know what, motor control tards? on Free Software Helps Disabled Use Mouse · · Score: 4, Funny

    Really intuitive too, I set my grandfather up with a unix command line and he was browsing the web with Lynx and authoring documents with Emacs in no time!

  4. Re:So let me get this straight... on Merck's Drug Propecia Linked To Sexual Dysfunction · · Score: 1

    If the drug also made you grow facial hair, I would say that moustache rides would still be an option.

  5. I wonder... on Google Rolling Out Live Streaming For YouTube · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long until this new service is inundated with camwhores and illegal sports or television feeds?

  6. Incoterms on 10,000 Shipping Containers Lost At Sea Each Year · · Score: 1

    Makes you realize why there are so many designations and varying terms for the transfer of goods.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incoterm#Summary_of_terms

    If I order my container full o' crap from China on FOB terms, when it falls into the sea (or gets "lost") I take the hit.

    But should I choose to have them send DDP, I bear no responsibility until the container is unloaded at my receiving port.

  7. Re:Sorry, but on 'Zodiac Island' Makers Say ISP Worker Wiped an Entire Season · · Score: 1

    And sorry, I keep forgetting that I have to manually add in line breaks.

  8. Sorry, but on 'Zodiac Island' Makers Say ISP Worker Wiped an Entire Season · · Score: 1

    there is no scenario AT ALL in which this should be possible. You shoot, makes backups the same day. Edit the show on your own computers, hopefully backing up to a remote location daily, or more realistically, weekly. (Sneakernet, I'd assume.) When you're done editing your show, you want to have backups all over. Why the fuck did the ISP have control of the only copy of their show?

  9. Re:Does it surprise anyone... on Paul Allen Rips Bill Gates In Autobiography · · Score: 2

    Really, does anyone get to where Bill Gates is right now without screwing a couple people in the process?

  10. I don't think it's that bad... on MySpace Loses Ten Million Users In One Month · · Score: 5, Funny

    I doubt they actually lost 10 million users, probably just a few thousand 50-year-old men *pretending* to be 10 million teenage girls.

  11. Come on, dude. on Hacker Posts His Crime On YouTube, Lands In Jail · · Score: 1

    Anywhere but a hospital.

    Delusions of grandeur is right.
    "So what if I mess around with the HVAC controller in this hospital? I have SERIOUS HACKER BUSINESS to conduct!"

  12. Data fees on Facebook Acquires Feature Phone App Maker Snaptu · · Score: 1

    "accessible free of data charges in various overseas markets" Can anyone clarify for me how this works? Using a web app doesn't incur data fees?!

  13. Re:Banks in the USA on Why UK Banks Don't Tweet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can't believe that this is what the world has come to. "What time does the bank close?" "I don't know, you should tweet them to find out!" (http://www.banktwitter.com/banks/Bank-of-America)

  14. Q: What's the hardest part of using an iPhone? on Apple's App Store Accepts 'Gay Cure' App · · Score: 0

    A: Coming out to your parents.
