  1. But they don't *want* you to find things quickly on Microsoft Will Stream Ads To Grocery Carts · · Score: 1

    That's why staples like milk and eggs are always at the very back of the store. The more time they make you spend walking the aisles the more impulse buys you will make.

    Helping people shop more efficiently isn't a problem the store actually wants to solve. If they did, you would see detailed directories posted prominently at the front of the store. Every store has such a directory but it's usually well hidden (a set of laminated cards chained to the shelf at the rear of aisle 8 in my local supermarket).

  2. Re:Why attached to a phone? on NTT DoCoMo Debuts Credit Card Phone · · Score: 1

    The phone interface allows the user to read their balance. It also lets NTT turn off credit as soon as the phone is reported lost or stolen.

  3. Re:Remember to strip the SIDs first! on Experiences w/ Drive Imaging Software? · · Score: 1

    Among other things, you can not copy the SAM (Security Accounts Manager) file of a running NT/2000/XP system because it is locked by the OS. Go ahead and try, the file lives here: %systemroot%\system32\config\sam.

    I think the author was referring to this problem when he caharacterized the file system as "crippled".

  4. Samsung screwed the pooch on Tom Reviews 13 LCD Displays · · Score: 1, Interesting

    telling Tom's to take a hike. Great bit of negative web publicity, that.
