  1. Re:Quick someone.... on How Many Keys Have You Pressed? · · Score: 1

    There's a whole list of possibilities at
    Pangrams (holoalphabetic sentences)

  2. Re:Quick someone.... on How Many Keys Have You Pressed? · · Score: 1

    All real words. Each letter used only once :-

    "Veldt jynx grimps waqf zho buck"

    Unfortunately it is not a meaningful sentence and some of the words are archaic or not very English.

  3. Re:Read the site! on How Many Keys Have You Pressed? · · Score: 1


    What if it sends the keys-pressed-log only if the machine is inside the XYZCorp domain? Only every week, so most packets are benign? Only when pinged by the master-server?

    Me running a port-sniffer only proves that I am not being spied on at the times I am monitoring the sniffer. It doesn't prove the software isn't spying on others, or spying on me at other times.

  4. Re:Read the site! on How Many Keys Have You Pressed? · · Score: 1

    Imagine, for a moment, that you are writing a program to secretly record keystrokes.

    Which privacy policy would you publish ?

    a) Trust us ... we are not recording keystrokes.

    b) We are secretly recording keystrokes and sending the to our server where they will be analysed by the FBI.

    Without proof, their privacy policy isn't worth the paper it's written on.

  5. RSI on How Many Keys Have You Pressed? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The distributed version sounds dangerous for the security reasons others have pointed out ...

    But, could a local version help with RSI? I remember obnoxious programs which popped up every hour reminding you to take a break ... how about something which popped up every 1000 key strokes (or whatever) reminding you to give you wrists a rest.

  6. Mice too. on How Many Keys Have You Pressed? · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the many mice odometers available.

    My distances were always disappointingly low compared to my colleagues - I use keyboard-shortcuts much more, I find them quicker.

    Sorry about that ... I've never used tripod before.

  10. Re:Wine on Lindows Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The reviewer's friend got IE and Office working, so perhaps the screenshots came from him?

    Or perhaps they came from Lindows PR dept?

  11. Search? on When is it Legal to Reverse Engineer Software? · · Score: 1

    Are we walking into a case of patent infringement

    Have you searched?

    And Yamhill is the MAX stop between Mall/4thAve and Oak/1stAve

  13. hhgttg on UNIX Process Cryogenics? · · Score: 3, Funny

    The job it was doing would have been done in a few days,

    In that case, Arthur Dent should know the answer.

    It will be good if they succeed; we hope they try as hard as their PR says they will.

    Have a nice day.

  15. Re:Bummer on Today's Hardware on Tomorrow's Games · · Score: 4, Informative

    There's this page with some screenshots of the engine in development.
    The latest is a few months old though, but there's pictures of landscapes and special effects.

  16. Re:Compile the kernel? on Borland C++ For Linux · · Score: 1

    Valid C :

    int main()
    {
    int new=3;
    return new;
    }

    it won't compile with a C++ compiler

  17. Debugger? on Borland C++ For Linux · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it will be able to compile the kernel?

    And, if so, I wonder if it will have a kernel debugger.

  20. How? on Comcast Gunning for NAT Users · · Score: 2, Redundant

    How do you even detect NAT?

    There's this which describes a way to find webservers behind NAT, but what about the general case?

  21. Re:Huh? on Xft Support For Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Thank you, that makes sense.

  22. Re:Huh? on Xft Support For Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Not if the small number of changes was achieved by making them clever hacks instead of just doing the changes in a clearer more verbose way.

    But as keithp described in another reply - some of the changes are truely redundent and the size isn't being reduced simple because it is clever to do so.

  23. Huh? on Xft Support For Mozilla · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The hope is to have a patch of less than 100 lines; currently it's more like 400 lines

    Why don't you concentrate on making sure the code works instead of aiming for some arbitrary patch size?

  24. Re:Very Low Damages on Sony Crushes UK PS2 Mod Chip Developers · · Score: 1

    Awarding high damages is a deterrent to other, wealthier, potential defendents.
