  1. Password resets on Your Thoughts Are Your Password · · Score: 1

    On the bright site, password reset requests will be significantly more fun.

  2. Re:Nothing new to see here, move on on Apple Switch to Intel Not a Big Loss for IBM · · Score: 1

    What's with the idea that big companies are evil? Aren't big companies just small companies that don't suck? Big companies may be slow, misguided, or sometime just plain dumb... but "evil"?

    I don't think so.

  3. Skill OK for non-govt. groups on Verizon-Pushed WiFi Bill Becomes Law in PA · · Score: 5, Informative

    The title of the article is a little misleading - while the ruling does bar municipalities creating their own networks, this does not stop private groups of citizens from creating municipal networks.

    So a motivated group of citizens can still create a city wide wireless network, it's just the local governments that can't. (I wonder if the govt. can give grants to the citizens... that'd be a nice work-around)

  4. Re:Gentoo becoming user friendly on Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer · · Score: 1

    I just switched a few months ago and (although I don't know what the docs were like a while ago) the Gentoo install documentation is excellent even for non-gentoo users interested in how things work.

    I'd recommend people looking for something flexible and easy to keep up to date give it a try, I've been very impressed.

  5. Re:Why pander to the kids on Game Industry Derided For Mature Content · · Score: 2

    Maybe it's because I'm older (32) but I tend to dislike games that pander 'adult' content as that adult content tends to be geared more towards horny teenage boys than real adults.

    Examples: Laura Croft's physique. Almost any D&D female char. will be in a full plate... bikini.

    Maybe the industry is confusing 'adult' with 'sophmoric'. At least Half Life 2's Alyx seems to buck the trend.

  6. Anybody used it? on IBM Donates Java Database App. to Apache Foundation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Can anyone comment on how it performs?

  7. Re:close up on New iPod Design Pictures Leak · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, because all my mp3s sound really crappy in black and white...

  8. Re:All of my programs have the same name. on Funny and Irrelevant Program Names? · · Score: 1

    I haven't laughed that hard in a LOOONG time. Thanks.

  9. Re:I thought CS meant Counter Strike on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    Actually I though that too - I would suggest Day of Defeat (DOD)....

    Anyone else have suggestions?

  10. Re:Hydrogen Engines = Zero Emissions on At My House We Call Them "Uh-Oh's" · · Score: 1

    You're forgetting only 2 things...

    1) Someone has to use a whole whack of energy just to make all that hydrogen

    2) The Hindenburgh (Gas tanks tend to burn, pressurized gas cylinders tend to explode)
