  1. Re:One lesson to learn on Malware Delivered By Yahoo, Fox, Google Ads · · Score: 1

    You could put that hosts file on your proxy host.

  2. Re:Why can't we all get along? on China's Human Flesh Search Engine · · Score: 1

    There have been reports on how people in more religious countries are starting to use the Internet to hunt down and threaten queer individuals back into the fold.

    Some individuals have this innate need to "correct" perceived wrongs. Now their reach goes beyond their own neighbourhood.

  3. Re:too much information on Mining EXIF Data From Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    Just noticed that my new point and shoot includes its own serial number in there, which I kinda liked at first, since it might help me locate it should it end up in someone else's hands without my consent!

    Though it does make all my snapshots totally traceable.

  4. Re:Not an asteroid? on 2010 AL30, Asteroid Or Space Junk, To Pay a Close Visit · · Score: 1

    If my calculations are correct it will turn out to be a jet engine from a passenger airline plane...

    Just ask Frank (the rabbit).

  5. WIFI range?! on iPhone-Controlled Helicopter With AR Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm having trouble finding what I think is the essential stat: (battery life is 15 minutes, but) what is the wifi range?

  6. Re:Lets see on Why Do So Many Terrorists Have Engineering Degrees · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're looking for engineers with tribalistic tendencies, who may go with the flow if they get the opportunity to cause some damage (or instill some fear) onto whomever they're not quite fond of.

  7. Re: respawn time on Graphic Novelist Calls For Better Game Violence · · Score: 1

    reminds me of the re-spawn times on Return to Castle Wolfenstein; it was a totally different game to play, since people would be more careful with their (virtual) lives.

  8. Rasterbator-like on "Universal Jigsaw Puzzle" Hits Stores In Japan · · Score: 1

    I think it would be (more) interesting if you could also order a set where the pieces are whatever size you want, ..., so that if you want to *sorta* recreate the mona lisa, but on a wall surface that's 4 feet wide by 5 feet tall; those (larger) pieces will be much easier to apply/fix to a wall, than a bunch of printed pages of paper.

  9. Is that you? on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    zerocool?

  10. Over the course of 10 years on SETI@Home Install Leads To School Tech Supervisor's Resignation · · Score: 1

    'Apparently, the alien-seeking software had been running since Niesluchowski was hired nearly 10 years ago.
    "Basically our processors were hooked up and running 24 hours a day, 12 months a year, every day of the school year," Birdwell said.'

  11. Re: we ALL pay of the pirates on Somali Pirates Open Up a "Stock Exchange" · · Score: 1

    Same thing happens with retail theft.

  12. Re:Like my Father Said ... on Harvard Says Computers Don't Save Hospitals Money · · Score: 1

    I don't think computers ever saved anyone "work"; we're able to do so much more and/or do it faster, but we're then expected to do that much more, and/or do it that much faster, and often cannot ever conceive of "going back".

  13. Increase DPI setting in Display settings?! on Are There Affordable Low-DPI Large-Screen LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    "If your screen resolution makes screen items too small to view comfortably, you can increase the DPI to compensate. To change font sizes only, click Cancel and go to the Appearance tab."

  14. Re: forced shutdown on Hollywood Backs Swedish Movie Streaming Site · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting point, the one about network connections taking their toll; one sure way to make my Mac unresponsive is to pull the plug while I'm trying to browse a network share!

  15. Re: forced shutdown on Hollywood Backs Swedish Movie Streaming Site · · Score: 1

    I believe that [Command-Option-Esc] will get you a "kill task" dialog most of the time, even when a program has taken the Mac hostage in full-screen.

  16. Re:1Password on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    btw, I memorize passwords related to sites that involve money or sensitive personal date, and depend on the OS X keychain for the rest.

    Other than that I never ever save my email password anywhere, since it's the "Forgot Password" gateway from hell.

  17. Re:1Password on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with depending on OS X's keychain?

  18. Tracking/Routing number? on Unknown 7m Asteroid Almost Impacted Earth · · Score: 1, Funny

    Dang! It's the third time they try to ship my package and miss; I've had enough... And so much for the "confidential" packaging!

  19. Re:How can that be? on Why Doesn't Exercise Lead To Weight Loss? · · Score: 1

    When I used to work out three times a week with mostly weight lifting and cables, with only 20 minutes of cardio at first to warm up and get the blood flowing, though for no more than 1.5 hours total each session, I would have cravings for proper/healthy-ish food, and would find junk food appalling; basically eating fast food made me feel bad!

  20. Re:Hackers Diet FTW. on Why Doesn't Exercise Lead To Weight Loss? · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is that exercising increases your libido?

  21. Re: say exactly what my bosses wanted to hear on Cable Exec Suggests Changing Consumer Behavior, Not Business Model · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hereby declare that I'm willing to do exactly this for half that price!
    Any takers?

    Hello?!

  22. Re: tax on iPod (in Canada) on Colleges Secretly Test Music-Industry Project · · Score: 1

    I remember when I bought my first iPod there was a form I could fill and send in to get the "blank media" tax refunded.

    This was some years ago so I don't know if it still works that way.

  23. Re:What about iBooks on Dell Rugged Laptops Not Quite Tough Enough · · Score: 2, Funny

    some years ago, my backpack's zipper failed and thus unloaded my 15" iBook down a whole flight of stairs; my heart stopped as I watched it bounce up and down every couple of steps (on its edges), all the way to the ground floor!

    Once I unbent the hook that would normally lock it when closed, it worked just like new!

    +1 Very Interesting

    Yes please! Pretty please?!

  25. Access Rights? on What Desktop Search Engine For a Shared Volume? · · Score: 1

    I had a look at some solutions last year, and ran into one hell of a road block; most solutions I had a look at presume that all the information you're indexing should be searchable and/or available to anyone that can reach your search tool's client.

    Has anyone had experience with something that will search the indexes for items based on your credentials? (Meaning that if you're not in accounting you can't get results for that data set)
