  1. I've always worried about this... on Hotel Connectivity Provider SuperClick Tracks You · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...which is why I only get online using my corporate VPN, and never visited any sites that required a login (banking, blog, yadda yadda).

    Of course that's assuming the VPN is secure enough...i'm sure there's a way around everything. Hell, just connecting to the WiFi and checking your email can give anyone your password if they have half a brain.

  2. Everything is made in the same place on Rise of the Small Brands · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...it's just branded differently. Take Radio Shack for example, all of their stereo stuff called Optimus was really Pioneer. All of their Realistic scanners were really Uniden....yadda yadda..TV's were RCA.

    I'm willing to bet it's just like laptops, only a handful of places make them, and they are customized and rebranded per customer request.

    Hell, i'm sure the same goes for generic food in the supermarket.

  3. Re:Here's My Story on eBay Slammed Over Levels of Fraud · · Score: 1

    You sold an Xbox 360 for $1500? Perhaps your problems were brought on by karma.....

  4. cut and paste much on Possession of Cantenna Now Illegal? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Same topic with same wording was posted on broadbandreports.com earlier today: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/65821

  5. will this protect us against the Jovian invaders? on Robotic Nanotech Swarms on Mars... in 2034 · · Score: 1

    Martian Successor Nadesico anyone?

  6. Laughing man on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 1

    I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

  7. as soul coughing said on Some iPod Fans Dump PCs For Macs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    correlation is not causation...

  8. Anyone seen the IRON GIANT? on Remote-controlled Bolts and Screws · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All I could think about was the screw in the movie rolling around and beeping when I read this :) Can't wait for this to come into being, and then the inevitable experation period when your car falls apart after 60k miles.

  9. Finally a good use for Active Desktop on Doom 3 Web Site Now Operational · · Score: 4, Funny

    Guess I'm the only one who has this set as their wallpaper in XP?

    Of course, I found it thanks to [H]

  10. Today's word is narcissistic on Linux Users Are Spoiled · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't believe this actually in considered an article, it's basically somebody giving themselves an ASCII blowjob. I can't get my sister to figure out how to right click reliably, but somehow a linux distribution would be easier for her to use because it somes with more options..in theory? Having 50 free programs don't mean jack if: 1. you can't install/run them easily 2. define a standard of usability among them all 3. coordinate thier appearance and setup You don't like Word...fine, but guess what, there's no learning curve practically. If you can't figure out how to download a program and install it (a task infinatly more easy in windows) I don't care how long your desktop has been up. Security thru obscurity is a lousy thing to brag about.
