  1. Re:No 2 factor please on Companies Advise Tighter Security After Honan Hack · · Score: 1

    I am guessing you have not tried Google's 2-factor authentication?
    I enabled it last week. I had to create a few application-specific pass codes and add a couple machine as trusted. Done. Not bothered since.

  2. Re:Power in developing countries... on Half of India Without Electricity As Power Grid Crisis Deepens · · Score: 1, Troll

    You mean like Fukishima?

  3. Way cooler on Apple Must Publicly Post That Samsung Did Not Copy iPad · · Score: 5, Funny

    I could see how Apple could turn this around to their benefit.

    "Samsung did not copy design from the iPad for the Galaxy Tab. The iPad is WAY cooler! Even the judge thinks so."

  4. Who better than the manufacturers on Hard Drive Makers Slash Warranties · · Score: 1

    Not surprised. After all, who better than the manufacturers to predict how long their crap will last. One year is generous.

  5. Re:Why? on Boeing Delivers Massive Ordnance Penetrator · · Score: 1

    Of course, if we don't really know where all the targets are, we can now just have our satellites follow the long line of cement trucks sure to be soon rolling around in the deserts of Iran.

  6. Re:Depends on the time on Report on Web-Surfing Speeds Finds Pervasive Throttling · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lately, Comcast has been depositing nearly 100% of the checks that I have sent to them. If they continue to cash my checks at this rate, I will be force to throttle back the check writing to 50% of the invoice amount. During times of peak demand of my money, it is only fair to other utility providers who also require a portion of this limited resource. With throttling in place, which should only affect the top 1% of my creditors, everyone can continue to enjoy "unlimited" payments.

  7. Re:my netflix is more important than your BT on Report on Web-Surfing Speeds Finds Pervasive Throttling · · Score: 1

    Big difference. Electricity is a metered service. "Unlimited" Internet is not, at least in theory.

  8. Re:DMCA on RIAA Lawyer Complains DMCA May Need Revamp · · Score: 1

    Bought a hard drive lately?

  9. Re:First post! on BlackBerry Outage Spreads To North America · · Score: 1

    Seriously? The first comment is marked as "redundant"?

  10. Re:Bargain on Ask Slashdot: Does Being 'Loyal' Pay As a Developer? · · Score: 1

    How loyal is your current company to you?

    If the role's were reversed and they had an opportunity to hire a more qualified person for less money than they pay you, would they? What if that employee lived next door to the office? And [hypothetically] knew more about the product than you? Would they feel such tremendous loyalty?

    If so, then stick with them. Companies like that are hard to find.

  11. Re:maybe on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    They used "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0"

  12. Artificial, artificial intelligence on Choosing Better-Quality JPEG Images With Software? · · Score: 1

    Take a look at Amazon's Mechanical Turk offering. (www.mturk.com) You create "hits" either through their website or API and real humans complete the tasks. This one would be simple, some two (or more) images to the worker and have them select the one with the best quality. You can even pre-screen workers by having them complete a qualification test. You could get all your images sorted out for a penny or two a piece.

  13. Dumb question on False Fact On Wikipedia Proves Itself · · Score: 1

    Did anyone think to ask Karl what his full name is?

  14. Recessive gene? on Possible Monogamy Gene Found In People · · Score: 1

    Just guessing, but it's probably a recessive gene.

  15. Re:Trolls on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    I had always assumed the term was adopted based on the verb form of the word troll, not the mythical, cave-dwelling beings.

    troll
    verb
    1 fish by trailing a baited line along behind a boat
    2 intended to provoke a response from the reader

  16. Re:Professional Tools on Microsoft to Give Away Developer Tools to Students · · Score: 1

    Here is what I received while trying to verify my student status and ability to download these "fine, professional" tools:

    Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

    Server.CreateObject Failed /_axapta/generalfunctions.inc.asp, line 91

    800401f3

    ---
    On second thought, I think I'll pass on these.

  17. Re:Short on Options! on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 5, Informative

    But! You can use "Remote Disk" to access the optical drive of a nearby Mac or PC running a little Remote Disk client. Yes, you can even reinstall the OS this way. http://www.apple.com/macbookair/wireless.html

  18. Too bad about the pacemaker on iPods and Pacemakers Don't Mix · · Score: 1

    But the iPod is okay, right?

  19. Firmware replacement??? on The Zune Cometh · · Score: 1

    The hardware seems really nice with its generous screen and built-in Wi-Fi. As soon as someone puts out a firmware replacement with a web browser, real wi-fi connectivity, support for more music formats, and sharing without DRM, I'll pick one up. Really.

  20. We don't have a "great" wall on China - We Don't Censor the Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In China, we don't have a "great" wall blocking our border. Sometimes we have trouble navigating the difficult terrain or sometimes see inaccurate satellite photos. But that's a different problem.
