  1. is it better? on Using Images as Passwords · · Score: 1

    people are just clicking on key points in a picture.
    To me it seems that is not much different from anything else, you have a picture of a face, there are probably 5 or 6 key points, the eyes, mouth, ears, and possible the top and bottom of the head. People would key in to the same features of the picture, after that, it just become an order of what is clicked, and people would tend to be predictable about that, forming geometric patterns, like going in a clockwize or counter clockwise pattern.

    In the end, things might be safer in the short term, but it jsut means that the hackers jsut need to read up on a new set of psychology books, Once they got that down, you are back to where you started

  2. what is wrong with LCD displays on Laser HUD Projected on Retina · · Score: 1

    "Although other companies that make wearable Pentium-quick computers with tiny LCD computer screens are far ahead in the consumer market, their mini-monitors block the vision of the eyes they cover."

    Don't get me worng, when I first saw vr goggles for sale, they were lightweight transparent LCD screens, you had to put on a black cover over the glasses if you didn't want to see the rest of the world at the same time, So if I can get LCD glasses that are lightweight, cost 1/10 the price, and have the added benifit of being 3d and color, what exactly is the advantage of having a lazer shooting in my eye? the only reason I could think of is that other people could see the images with the LCD, but is that enough to justify 10x the price?

  3. Re:Software DVD on Prototype Hardware DVD Decodoer for Linux-needs help · · Score: 1

    well, I don't know about that, I for one do not have windows on my PC, been free from that for a year, also most of the linux boxes I have seen are single boot. On top of it all, it seems that every day I hear of somebody deleting their windows partition.

    All I have to say is this,
    the number of single boot linux users is growing, and it is growing fast.

  4. waste? on Linux is a waste of time? · · Score: 1

    Since Microsoft is closed source, that means they do lot let help. Thus if it was not for linux, many peoples programming skills would have been left unused, that is a waste.
