  1. Re:Anyone ever heard of a on Identity Theft From Tossed Airline Boarding Pass? · · Score: 1

    You don't sound paranoid, you just make choices in life

    You obviously are a very rational being who spends his time doing things that do not give you pleasure but that you believe are important.

    There is another option however: enjoy life and see what it brings. It is quite a relaxed way of living. sure, it may get me killed someday. Until now, it hasn't. Sure, it brings spam and telemarketeers in some form. The inconvenience does not outweigh the hassle of preventing them at this moment. Also, it gives me a lot of time to go around enjoying myself. I take my chances that things will turn out alright, and so far, they have.

    Take your pick, I prefer the latter.

    Sure!

    Besides dutch media, I read Slashdot.

    Satisfied?

    In truth, broadcasting companies do start wars. I saw it on TV yesterday. Some network boss was attacking chinese and british ships in the chinese sea with his stealth ship. Luckily, some guy codenamed 007 rescued the world.

    I saw it on TV, a most trusted medium. It must be true.

  4. Re:pluses minuses on Social Consequences and Effects of RFID Implants? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IMHO, being able to track your kid not only gives you a false sense of security (so you know where they are, now what?), it also does not allow them to grow up to be responsible adults by making their own decisions and mistakes without sombody following them every move.

    Therefore I move to transfer that point from (+) to (-)

  5. Re:Exactly - why implant an RFID device? on Social Consequences and Effects of RFID Implants? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Which I imagine to be _extremely_ painfull when torn from the nipple by a thief

    Then again, some people may get off on that.

    However, I'd stick with a watch/bracelet

    Try deception point. Entirely different.

    It is actually about a woman, and.... he rest is the same, really.

    Wow, you almost sound like you've got some sort of, eh, social skills or something! :-)

  9. Re:Apple has been a leader in addressing this prob on Apple's All-Seeing Screen · · Score: 1

    Anybody can stick their webcam anywhere they'd like.

    Except for the fact that it would be obscuring the view if placed in the midle of your screen. This way you can look into the camera and look at the screen at the same time. As pointed out earlier, this is an advantage, especially with big screens

  10. Re:Anagram on Windows Nag Windows to Counter Piracy · · Score: 1

    Actually, NAG==GAN is a palindrome. It just doesn't mean anything as a word.

  11. Obligatory(?) Merchant of Venice reference on Bloodless Surgery · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is bad news for Antonio, and Shylock will be quite pleased.

  12. Re:Bad quiz on Most Web Users Unable to Spot Spyware · · Score: 1

    I tried to choose neither, as I would have used neither, but that was not an option. Bad test.

  13. Re:Right here on Nokia's New All-In-One Phone · · Score: 1

    Try a Nokia 6310i

    Old, not quite small, but awesome battery life.

    Only lacking the color screen, but what do you need that for? Since you will not be taking pictures or playing games (I presume), I can think of no use for a color screen that would be a real dealbreaker

  14. Re:Ubuntuspire... on Linspire Announces Freespire Distribution · · Score: 1

    sorry, but the "she" seems to refer to Linspire.

    Please try again.

  15. Re:Maybe they are trapped by... on Virtual World, Real Money · · Score: 1

    getting laid virtually just isn't the same.

    And yes, I do know what it is like virtually and IRL

    This mail service sounds like garbage (no offense MS).

    You must be new here

  17. Re:spotlight on Google Violates Miro's Copyright? · · Score: 1

    Although I would have expected a native to do it, not someone from 2 countries north (or 3 if you want to count Luxembourg)

    Apparently, the french are not very /. oriented.

    Made the news that this kind of crime is on the rise here and is executed quite professionally.

  20. Re:How many letters are in the alphabet? on Mafia Boss Using Crook Crypto Captured · · Score: 1

    They also state that the italian alphabet only uses 21 letters.

  21. Re:Forget the 3 monitors... on Matrox TripleHead Triples Your Viewing Pleasure · · Score: 1

    while you are at it, use 3 projectors and a parabolic mirror. It gives a real sensation of depth.

    I was in this beast while they were loading the new software. it was fixed stationary, still you couldn't believe you were not moving when the simulator screen showed a turn. Spooky.

    It is even better when it moves, 6 degrees of freedom and really fast!

  22. Re:The problem is... on Does Open Source Encourage Rootkits? · · Score: 1

    The right to eat hamburgers unhindered will be the first to go next, thanks to the anti-fat lobby.

    Maybe it will be europe first, then the US, but hamburgers will go the way of alcohol and sigarettes: heavily taxed and maybe not allowed in the public area (because the smell could lead you to health damage by waking an appetite).

  23. Re:They are called requirements for a reason on High End Video Capture? · · Score: 1

    What do you mean, moving to? I used to manage a marketing department (now I do Business Development, so no management in the hierarchical sense anymore)

    However, things have many shades of grey to me :-). I do not think the given answer was wrong completely, but it is taking to many steps at a time in my opinion. I would favor:

    1 There is no solution that meets your requirements (If that is the case, other comments seem to suggest there is)
    2 Would it be acceptable for you to loosen some requirements?
    3 If so, what would be your new requirements?
    4 In that case, this product would meet your new requirements

    or

    3 This product comes close to the original requirements, could it be fit in your loosend requirements?

    This is a bit more respectfull to the wishes of the poster than just jumping to the last step without even asking.

    (Off course, don't forget
    5 ????
    6 Profit!)

  25. They are called requirements for a reason on High End Video Capture? · · Score: 1

    It is because the spcs are what is required.

    This is a typical /. response:

    You could use X. It doesn't meet your requirements.

    I know I oversimplify what you stated, but the bottom line is: He is talking business here. Rule #1 will be that the solution will have to meet the requirements.
