  1. Re:Pseudo-Written Password on Write Down Your Passwords · · Score: 0
    So to resolve this issue I wrote the information using a simple rot-n algorithm with random keys. I wrote down all numbers (including rot-n keys, which looked just like the rest of the data) in my notebook and knew that if I had to use them, it would take me a little time but I could work it out, and if I were to loose the notebook, I could be pretty sure that noone would bother trying to make sense of a bunch of numbers written on the back cover - most likely it will be just tossed.

    And if you had lost your notebook you would have done what? I thought you'd say something like "I emailed the bunch of numbers to an email account the password for which I can never forget." But have to grant it to you for your whatever flash of brilliance.

    A lot of times I have got 'white' money from my pockets after a wash.

  3. Re:Pencil/Paper on A Cheap and Portable Word Processor? · · Score: 0
    And what's wrong with the pencil/paper solution? Paper is a non-volatile memory so you don't have to worry about system crashes or forgetting to save your documents.

    Try writing something on paper while standing in a Queue waiting for a bus. I certainly do see the point in the story post. It's easier to type into an blackberry or something of that sort is his point.

    I think the poster is rooting for an organizer kinda device with a bigger screen but w/o all the bells-n-whistles of a PDA with a data transfer cord. That's all. That shouldn't cost a lot!

    You have a keen grasp of a foreign language
    as you correlated what you heard on radio
    to the written name very well, I must say.
    But I don't have anything to do with Yoga
    other than practice a few asans(exercises) everyday.
    Jigyasu = Curious
    Balak = Kid
    So my user name means a "Curious Kid" :)
    BTW, Atma = Soul and Darshan = Visit/Tour
    So you put pieces together.

    I really wonder what "parental guidance" means.
    I mean what does the accompanying parent do
    during the display of sexual content or violence?
    Cover his child's eyes? Start giving counselling
    if the kid looks disturbed? Oh, What does it mean?

  11. Complex and Convoluted? on TiVo Moves to Bypass Cable · · Score: 1, Funny
    This may add to the complexity of an already convoluted message that TiVo has been criticized for being unable to articulate to the masses.

    > Porn over the age of consent is legal in India.

    Wrong! Porn, even over the age of consent is illegal in India. India, though the originator of kamasutra, currently has a very holier than thou moral police in place. It's so frustrating for us horny males.

  13. Re:15 bucks on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 0
    Of course, if they lowered the prices for Russia, then we could just buy music and software there for peanuts, and the publishers would be fucked.

    If that's the case then why don't the low cost editions of popular books that sell in third world countries haven't made a dent in the publisher's pockets?

  24. Re:i hate sony on Sony Launches First Commercial Electronic Paper Display Reader · · Score: 0
    I hate sony for this: The current-generation Libriè has no online capability, so books must be downloaded to a PC (Windows only for now, although the device runs on Sony Linux), then transferred to the reader via its USB 2.0 port or by using a Memory Stick.

    Can they get more hypocritical? Can they go any further at insulting the Linux community? I personally think any respectable Linux follower should boycot this product.
