  1. Re:have you tried Library Thing? on Solving the Home Library Problem? · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. I just went to your blog and you listen to "The Faint"?!#%#@! I like em too though I have other which are more "favorite". Ever heard of Ladytron? Diorama? Moonspell?

    Haha, at least you have a sense of humor. And how did you type the e with the accent mark anyway? ALT+num pad?

    Looked in the mirror lately?

    What's wrong with my name?

  5. have you tried Library Thing? on Solving the Home Library Problem? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here is the link: http://www.librarything.com/. This will help you with the cataloging of the books. As far as organizing, hrmmm, why not organize by color - that's how some women I know would do it :D

  7. Oh, oh, I know this one... on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    This must be the same Dvorak who predicted people will switch from QWERTY to Dvorak keyboards.

  8. RFID Cereal on 7.5 Micron Thick RFID Tag · · Score: 1

    So instead of just being on our food packages. It'll be in our food.
    Yummy.


    Ah yes, in future episodes of Austin Powers they'll just feed Fat Bastard a bowl of RFID Cereal (TM) instead of making poor Beyonce stick the tag up his big fat hairy ass.

  9. lighting won't solve your problems on Computers, Long Hours and Vision Problems? · · Score: 1

    Get 8 hours of sleep. Take frequent breaks (e.g. 10 minutes every hour). Go out and get some sunshine and some exercise. I would also strongly recommend vitamin supplementation - particularly vitamins A,C,E, and b-complex, as well as fish oil. All of those are important to the eyesight. I've gone from 1.5 farsightedness to having vision better than 20/20 using these simple rules.

  10. Killer indeed on Is AllPeers FireFox's P2P "Killer App"? · · Score: 1

    Because Firefox already isn't enough of a memory hog, right? I rarely see applications hit the 150k memory footprint and those are usually databases indexing half a bazillion records. The proliferation of Firefox extensions is nice and all but if this AllPeers thing is yet another nifty doodad that will cause Firefox to swell in its pants and then throw a premature exception, then no thanks.

    Yeah, I know. I had nothing to add, sorry. ;-)

    Did you want me to say that Google was a search engine and that Python was a programming language?


    You could like mention that Guido is NOT a red-cheeked yodel-meister from the Austrian Alps.

  13. Suggestion on The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Place the "Intel Inside(R)" sticker on your inflatable doll's bottom parts.

    Thanks for the explanation.

  15. Re:Only 5 minutes?? on Faster DNA Testing · · Score: 1

    I can totally see this being made into a South Park episode!

  16. Re:MD5 is not an encryption algo on MD5 Collision Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    It is a hash algo. It's used not to protect the content of anything, just to provide a method to validate content integrity, to show nothing accidental or intentional happened to change it.

    You don't seem to understand... Having the MD5 hash of a piece of software and the ability to generate a collision for that hash will logically lead to more code which can take any dll/exe, inject malicous code along with whatever other random garbage characters are needed to produce the collision. Yes, the sizes will be different but even that can be fudged given the sophistication of today's hackers.

    They have an effing demo. Did you RTFA?

  18. Re:I've been following this... on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 1

    While I don't completely agree with Blizzard's anti-cheating methods I can kind of understand why they are doing it. They can't stop the truly determined cheaters, however. What's going to stop me from whipping my favorite hex editor and changing a few window title strings in my cheat executables?

  19. Complete bs on Microsoft Thinks Africa Doesn't Need Free Software · · Score: 1

    The MS claims are complete bs as I recall reading a research article in which computer terminals were placed on the streets in the poorest neighborhoods in India. People were mostly illiterate and had no knowledge of English, or any previous PC experience. Within days the kids in the neighborhood had figured out how to work with the mouse, open programs (MS Paint springs to mind) and do other "fun" things.

    PS: If anyone remembers this article and has seen it online I'd appreciate them posting the link.

  20. Re:Mega Rich on Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" · · Score: 1

    Last I checked most Cessna prices are into the millions. If you have a Cessna you are not "middle-class". You are effing rich! So don't give me this bs about "middle-class" is going to be able to afford to replace their red blood cells with personalized nanobots which will deliver oxygen and nutrients 1000-times more efficiently.

  21. In other news... on IE More Secure Than Mozilla? · · Score: 2, Informative

    ... several Microsoft employees were found snuggling below the desks of the Symantec "experts" who recently performed a comparison between Firefox and IE security.

  22. Reliability Speed on Airgo Quadruples Wi-Fi Limit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think a lot of people in areas affected by recent disasters (New Orleans, New York, DC, etc) that reliability in EXTREME disaster conditions trumps speed improvements any day of the week. I'll be happy with half the current speed of wi-fi if I could RELY on it to WORK if a disaster were to strike. Of course that has more to do with the signal strength and the actual transmitter network itself.

    I'm pretty sure that this means "Do not enter" according to international standards.

    That'd be intergalactic standards, sir.

    In solidarity with Microsoft, American Airlines is donating a Jesus-shaped peanut to be sold on ebay. The profits will go towards fighting terrorism and making the skies safer.
