  1. Re:Of course not. on Are Usability & Security Opposites in Computing? · · Score: 1

    It can be related to a Johari window.

    There are applications that are

    • both unusable and insecure
    • applications that are just usable
    • applications that are just secure
    • And then, of course, there's the "unknown" pane where secure & usable applications fall into.
  2. Re:Disconnect and motivation on The Music Man · · Score: 2, Funny

    Clearly, that should have been "typ0graphical error".

  3. Google Cache on The Music Man · · Score: 4, Informative
  4. Re:The catch is.. on Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I like his suggestion better, too. However, everybody seems to forget the Gmail is still in BETA. This is BETA software and they are testing BETA features. These features don't have to be available when Gmail comes out of BETA and they most certainly don't have to be free.

    Noticed how I emphasized the BETA and the BETA, for what I hope are obvious reasons.

  5. Re:A few things on Bit Rot Stalks Your Digital Keepsakes · · Score: 1

    > "2) I don't have the time to sign up "
    >> But you have time to read a story on /. and post a reply??

    You must be new here.

  6. mod parent up on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1

    The grandparent may put punishment as #1 on the list, but I think this ridiculous. I have a strong feeling the grandparent poster is from the US, where punishment *is* #1 on the list and where the crime rate seems to be one of the highest on this planet.

    I'm from Canada, where we have a much lower crime rate and our "purposes" of prison sentence are more inline with the parent's list.

  7. Re:Mirrors on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Pfft.. optimized builds. All my builds are optimized, I'm using gentoo. Of course I'm not using firefox 1.0 yet.. it's still compiling. I'm looking forward to using it tomorrow though.

  8. Re:Appliccations on IBM Retakes Fastest Supercomputer Title · · Score: 1

    No, that's complate and udder (yes, like the cow) nonsense. This is magic and clearly only works when used on the real slashdot

  9. Re:Planet Triangle on Venus/Jupiter Conjunction Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I think you'd hard a hard time finding a planet that's not incestuous, save Earth.

  10. Re:Pfft... on Origin of Cosmic Rays Revealed · · Score: 1

    Nope, it would probably make the Fantastic Four something close to Hollow Man.

  11. Re:Eep. on Origin of Cosmic Rays Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe for you guys in the US, but what about the rest of us? We'll be doomed I tell you. DOOOMED!

  12. Re:ASP.NET on Programmers Hold Funerals for Old Code · · Score: 1

    Now *there's* a grave I'll be pissing on.

  13. Re:Discrimination on Bartle to MMOG Players - Newbs! · · Score: 1

    What do you mean? We still bitch about the NY Times registration every time there's a NYT story. In fact, many people make it a point to bitch about the registration in the actual article posting. ie. first born required.

  14. Re:Insert standard disclaimer here on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    And if you're planning on coming up here this winter, don't forget your toque, eh.

  15. Re:Video Game Music - Remixed on Nobuo Uematsu Splitting With Square Enix · · Score: 1

    You just made my day. I headed straight to Dragon Warrior and I just started listening to the first song and it's great. I can see me wasting a lot of time here.

  16. Re:In other words... on How Infants Crack the Speech Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure if babies could talk they would spend a lot less time listening.

  17. Re:tell the entire story of our evolution over tim on The Eye: Evolution versus Creationism · · Score: 1

    I went to church this past Sunday (I'm Catholic) and to very briefly summarize the priest's homily: God is still creating the Earth.

  18. Re:Right from the source: on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    "Hike" is what you say when you want the center to "hike" the ball. To hike the ball is to snap the ball.

  19. Re:So... on Internet Turns 35 Today · · Score: 1

    God.. now I wanna kill myself. It's a wonder the Internet got anywhere starting off like that.

  20. Re:Nintendo on Nintendo Apologizes to SuicideGirls · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It's obviously the law firm that is hunting down people that are using Nintendo's trademarks to gain higher Google rankings. It is also the law firm's job to make sure the site *is* actually using trademarks to gain high Google rankings and isn't some profile or forum comment.

    The law firm didn't do their job and because of that Nintendo looked like the bad guys. At least Nintendo had the guts to 'fess up and tell us what happened. They were even nice enough to not place all the blame on the law firm.

  21. Re:Hobbit sized? on New Hominid Species Unearthed in Indonesia · · Score: 1

    Clearly it was a mod troll.

  22. Re:I'm excited! on Doom Movie in Production For Aug 2005 Release · · Score: 1

    I don't know. He seemed to pick the *best* video games. There are much, much, much worse movies he could've used as examples.

  23. Re:Great, more downsizing... on Human Gene Count Slashed · · Score: 1

    RTFA. They went to arabidopsis, a flowering plant in the mustard family.

  24. Re:great, we've been demoted on Human Gene Count Slashed · · Score: 5, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our new Arabidopsis overlords.

  25. Re:This is you on Programming Assignment Guide For CS Students · · Score: 1

    Well, according to babelfish, it means "I mark"
