  1. Re:What's the distance? on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    You can select your own centre point by double-clicking. I agree about the scale though.

  2. Re:Several HUGE differences on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Agreed. It's like saying that if you lose your bank card, then your account (and the money in it) is gone forever and you have to open a new one.

  3. Re:Balmer is insane! on Five Years of Ballmer -- the Effect on Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I'm still amazed that paramedics didn't rush up and drag him off stage after that. 10 seconds of skipping around like a 6-year-old girl on her birthday, and the man is too exhausted to speak. Great motivation for getting myself down the gym - I swear I won't be that unfit when I'm Ballmer's age.

  4. Re:Sweet! on IBM Opens Their Patent Portfolio to Open Source · · Score: 1

    What if you're helping her across the street to distract her attention from your accomplice, who is putting babies' heads on spikes?

  5. Re:Women can't fake orgasms perfectly on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    Now that I agree with. Well, maybe a towel and a Spiderman costume.

  6. Re:Women can't fake orgasms perfectly on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not to mention the stopwatch for measuring those 0.8s intervals.

  7. Re:That's easy... on Do Unsubscribe Links Stop Spam? · · Score: 1

    I read the whole article, then went and consulted my own voluminous spam directory. To my surprise, I noticed that Rolex spams abruptly stopped on November 10th, having previously arrived at a rate of ~15 a day since August. I didn't unsubscribe from anything, though. Somebody must have gotten themselves well and truly busted.

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those! fappfappfappfappfappfappfapp...

  9. Re:people suck. on Kryptonite U-Lock Security Flaw · · Score: 2

    Yup, and then it's the muggers that get your car rather than the car thieves :-)

  10. Re:Not Even Close on Mozilla's Goodger on Firefox's Future · · Score: 1

    Use the smart keywords that Goodger mentions in the article. e.g. go to google images, right-click in the search field, and select "Add a keyword for this search...". Call it gi or something. Then if you type "gi alyson hannigan" in your address bar, Firefox automatically searches google images for a certain foxy redhead. Job done.

  11. Re:Only 10 numbers? on An Introduction to IPv6 · · Score: 1

    7-10 numbers is generally regarded as short-term memory capacity. If I tell you a 7-digit phone number you'd probably be able to recite it back to me immediately; if I tell you a 16-digit credit card number you probably couldn't. You can remember your card number because you've committed it to long-term memory.
