  1. Re:Oh well on Time Canada Shows New iMac · · Score: 1

    >Thats why real canadians dont by time "canada", they read there own news magazine: Maclean's Magazine [macleans.ca]

    Ugh. *Sane* Canadians don't buy or read Macleans

  2. make it fun on Pictorial Passwords · · Score: 1

    Pick 10 of your favorite pornographic pictures and make it your "password" Pick out the ten from a set of a thousand other pornographic pictures. There are 2.7 x 10**23 permutations, which is close to 80-bit security. Sure it may take some time to pick out the right ones, but I sure wouldn't mind...

  3. A fine line... on Cooperation in CS Education? · · Score: 1

    ... exists between collaboration and excessive collaboration. There's absolutely nothing wrong with seeking help from your peers - but it's important to know what standards are being used to determine academic dishonesty. But then again, there's that saying in academia: "Copying the work of one is plagiarism. Copying the work of many is research"

    I know of many friends who would not be in CS if it weren't for their friends. But there's only so many ways to get a program to print out "Hello, world"

  4. Re:Pool on NSync Copy Protected CD · · Score: 1

    >Anyone want to take bets on how long it will take for a rip of this album to appear on the various P2P networks, and which one will get it first?

    I'd say the rip'll be out by this Friday, and by Monday the record company'll be wondering how a million people got the entire album on their computers. And by next week, another record company would come up with another "copy-proof" cd format.

    Considering the demographics of nsync fans, I'd say BearShare or kazaa will get it first.

  5. Re:yAH! on Body Powered Batteries -- Thermoelectrics · · Score: 1

    >Now your sexual escapades can create REAL electricity.

    It adds a whole new meaning to the term "discharge" doesn't it?
