  1. Re:Let's get this out of the way on Thermal Imaging Lie Detector In Development · · Score: 1

    Let me tell you about my mother.

  2. FF6 + Hardware Acceleration = BSOD on The Latest Web Browser Grand Prix · · Score: 0

    Just like in a Grand Prix, pushing beyond the limits results in a blown engine. Since update to ver 6, I've had daily BSODs that are caused by a video driver crash. Since I turned off hw acceleration in FF6, no more BSODs.

  3. L4 on First Earth Trojan Asteroid Discovered · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This one should be called 'Lagrange'

  4. Re:This aptly describes the problem. on Outgoing Federal CIO Warns of 'IT Cartel' In DC · · Score: 1
  5. Pull it -- surprise! on Give The Onion a Pulitzer Campaign Gaining Steam · · Score: 1

    If Dave Barry can win one, so can The Onion.

  6. Re:Why are GPUs faster? on Brute-Force Password Cracking With GPUs · · Score: 1

    My naive interpretation of this: http://www.nvidia.com/object/GPU_Computing.html

    In effect, having a good,recent GPU is the equivalent of having hundreds of CPUs all in one single chip. Since password guessing is a task that can be divided easily, the GPU is 100x faster than a regular CPU, and it is very efficient at number-crunching.

  7. "don't want to deal with their own IT dept." on Why Businesses Move To the Cloud: They Hate IT · · Score: 1

    They then have to deal with someone else's IT department.

    A customer/provider relationship is very different than supervisor/employee our interdepartmental one. The provider can choose to stop taking the customer's money and tell him to go away. Sure the customer can sue but in the meantime, he's got NO SERVICE.

  8. Good on US Senate Votes For Repeal of Ethanol Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Burning food is stupid. Greenwashing fossil fuel into biofuel is very stupid. Doing it at a loss is stupidestest.

    You done broke it.

    Slashdotted that is.

  13. [speculation] Apple's reaction on Apple AirPlay Private Key Exposed · · Score: 1

    I expect the next version of iTunes come with a new private key which will require a new firmware flash on all Aiport Express. Then James will need to find another girlfriend with an Airport Express, crack that open and dump the key again.

  14. Finally a use for all those obsolete PDAs on Apple AirPlay Private Key Exposed · · Score: 1

    Time to get out that old Pocket PC, or Palm devices which have WiFi + audio out in them.

  15. Re:Interesting... on Apple AirPlay Private Key Exposed · · Score: 2

    How long before we see some hacked firmware for normal routers, I wonder?

    That's a great idea... but I can't seem to find the audio-out on my Linksys router ...

  16. Bad title! Apple didn't win 625.5M$ on Apple Wins $625.5 Million Ruling Over Cover Flow · · Score: 1

    They've successfully appealed a 625.5M$ judgment against them.

  17. Import CRL? on Phony Web Certs Issued For Google, Yahoo, Skype · · Score: 1

    Firefox has a CRL management feature. (Option/Advanced/Revocation List) What is the CRL link for import ?

  18. Re:schizophrenic on Watch IBM's Watson On Jeopardy Tonight · · Score: 1

    "ibms-watson-supercomputer-destroys-all-humans-in-jeopardy-practice" ... would be an excellent Onion article.

  19. Songs, for $500 on Watch IBM's Watson On Jeopardy Tonight · · Score: 1

    It is the first song played by a computer, in 1961.

    He would be in the hospital with a fractured wrist.
    Because he was punching the store's concrete walls with his bare hands.

  24. Re:Congrats on HiJacking the iPhone's Headset Port · · Score: 1

    There's already xGPS / GPSSerial. (but you need to be jailbreaked)

  25. Re:Bad Passwords Are the Weakest Link. on Passwords Are the Weakest Link In Online Security · · Score: 1

    THIS is the weakest link:
    <form><input type="password">

    The passwords are traveling in the clear over the internet, and are easy to intercept.
