  1. Re:Don't do it! on Do Unsubscribe Links Stop Spam? · · Score: 1

    One of my pet peeves of this feature is that you can't reply to a message with images in it without first loading the images. Sure, I guess that stops most of these attacks, but it is kind of annoying nonetheless.

  2. Re:Mod parent up on Is RSS Doomed by Popularity? · · Score: 1

    Following along the same line of reasoning, why not have the RSS reader send one request, and then changes are pushed to the reader after that?

    The problem I see with that is network users who are behind firewalls. You can't very well push RSS data to them now, can you?

  3. Re:What does the person think? on Non-Invasive Computer Control Through Brainwaves · · Score: 1

    Or would it be possible to adapt the technology to implant advertising into your brain?

    In Korea, only old people are left-handed.

  5. Re:Password managers on E-commerce Single Sign-On Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just put all your passwords in one file and encrypt it? That's what I do with mine. Now, I don't have a memory key to put it on, but how hard would that be?

    GnuPG runs on many platforms.

    Actually, I think the parent was referring to Kelsey and miscapitalized Grammer.

  7. Re:Makes me wonder... on Cross-Platform Java Sandbox Exploit · · Score: 1, Troll

    ... Or worse since it runs on more than just Windows.

  8. Re:Basic Human Nature on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since I know that technically, nipples on the keyboard refer to the bumps on the F and J (D and K for Mac users), I accept "clitoris" as the appropriate term for that bump.

    I've never understood why the bumps on the F and J are referred to as nipples. They're so much smaller.

    But only if you have a mouse (with a scroll wheel). That doesn't work with my touchpad or my keyboard nipple.

  10. Re:Moonbase would be in the always-lit north on Lunar Space Elevator Instead? · · Score: 1

    I think that the logistical problems of building an elevator on the moon will outweigh the material problems of building one on earth.

    I find that hard to believe, considering that the materials needed to build a terran elevator don't even exist yet.

  11. Re:Interesting on Lunar Space Elevator Instead? · · Score: 1

    But isn't that what the great glass elevator does? I mean, it doesn't necessarily go to the moon.

  12. Re:Lots of ranting... on Kyoto Treaty to Enter Into Force · · Score: 1

    Only things it can cap are transportation and power production(and power production can be migrated across national borders to an extent(for example to Mexico and Canada in the case of the U.S.).

    FYI, Canada wouldn't really be an option since it has ratified the Protocol.

  13. Re:Emergency Exits? on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    I imagine that it would "handle exceptions" in the same way that other train systems do. What happens if your subway train breaks down?

  14. Re:Three passengers on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    While, in theory, you could construct such a vehicle in a variety of different sizes, the article does say "The cars, unlike the round pods in 'The Incredibles,' are egg-shaped, and allow enough room for three to four people plus their shopping bags, luggage and wheelchair or bicycle."

    That could be useful for Smell-O-Vision. The future is here... today!

  16. Three passengers on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sure that I recall reading about this a couple of months ago, and the question that immediately came to my mind is: what do you do if you have more than three or four passengers? Families of five need not apply and so on.

    Wow, I just have to say I am shocked--shocked!--that that post was modded Insightful. I mean, come on! Inquisitive, maybe, but not Insightful.

    Actually, I was trying to be funny by using the third definition. Unless there was another one.

  19. Re:Assumed ACE on Ballmer Threatens Linux Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    They could come off as looking like they let the patents go unchallenged and simply enforced them in an effort to stifle competition.

    IANAL, but I believe that is perfectly legal under patent law. It's unfortunate.

    It only depends on what you are talking about at the moment.

    That's not what stopped me from using Firefox at work, though. Google Desktop.

    I've seen this before, and I have to ask. What does IE do with Google Desktop that Firefox doesn't? It seems to work fine for me.
