    Was it just me that thought the song was going to be "Through the fire and flames?"

  4. Re:One person's myth is another person's fact. on Myths About Code Comments · · Score: 1

    I've had trouble in the past with VIM regarding commented braces as part of the code structure in php files, making the % function fail. Is there a setting for this? Maybe it is just the php syntax highlighter that is broken, and the C/C++ and others work fine.

    Or maybe it's just an old VIM I'm using...

  5. Re:So let's change the algorithm. on Gravatars Can Leak Users' Email Addresses · · Score: 2, Informative

    Bolex make [motion picture] cameras, not watches, and were very important in the early television news reels. Even today they are a staple in film schools.

  8. Re:WTF is RTMPE? on Clean-Room RTMPE Spec Created From rtmpdump · · Score: 1

    It's a close call between that, and TWAIN Technology Without An Inteligent Name... Of course then there's SCSI which (apparently) was meant to sound "SEXY"

  9. Re:what if they win on Lawsuit Says Google's Sale of Keywords Is Illegal · · Score: 1

    and possibly if google were really pissed, they coudl just blacklist their domain name and then they wouldnt show up in search results AT ALL!

  10. Re:[Block this Application] on The Hidden Secrets of Online Quizzes · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can block the application, just click "HIDE" then the drop down shows "hide (user)" and "hide (application". The second form the list is what you want. I use it all the time!

  11. Re:MVP !!!! on Resurrecting the Mighty Mammoth, Cheaply · · Score: 1

    either that or find the DAN for that Midas guy.

    I had no idea king Midas knew any martial arts, let alone that he was so highly skilled. How does this help us by the way? Do we resurrect him to turn said Mammoths into gold?

  18. Re:Pretty damn cool on Australia's Geekiest Man · · Score: 1

    Yeah both the 197s i test drove needed no button presses at all to open or lock. They were full UK spec (right hand drive, registered ukplates, etc)

    maybe they did change it more recently, this was an '06 that I tried it with, so that was at least 18 months ago

  19. Re:Pretty damn cool on Australia's Geekiest Man · · Score: 1

    I don't know what cars you have tested this on but the Renault 197 and 225 that I have seen RFID keycards on, no buttons are necessary for use, however they do have normal central locking functions in addition to "automatically unlock" when you approach them.

    I've forgone the whole os/keyboard/bios deal and simply have a morse key plugged into the serial port. Ok it takes me a while but I'M STILL COOL DAMMIT!

  22. UK has had this kinda of tech for ages on SiteKey to Prevent Phishing · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "My" online bank http://www.cahoot.com/ (which is the online arm of the abbey national) has had this type of authentication for ages. everytime I login, I am asked different questions, each login is different and has worked exteremly well. Of course if you are phished you can still be tricked into giving away to the answers to the questions you gave and used during the signup process. Instead of providing your complete password, you give certain characters from the password, for example the 2nd and 6th characters, selected from a drop down box, so keyloggers are effectively rendered useless.

    There are always going to be people who are too careless with their information, and there will always be other people who are very willing to take all of your personal information to clean out your bank accounts..

  24. Re:I thought that said CHINA! on Microsoft In Talks To Buy Claria · · Score: 1

    The software is trivial, although we will see M$ really integrate it in the next version of IE. >:}

    Juding by the ammount of spyware and crapware already installed on the ammount of systems that have "crashed" that I am fortunate enough to go and help out with, I'd say it was ALREADY integrated into IE (or near as dammit).
