  1. Shoot on True Random Number Generator Goes Online · · Score: 1

    I keep getting 12345

  2. Why buy an iPhone? on All Things iPhone · · Score: 1

    Other than combining the "functionality" of the two, what makes IT stand out? Yes, I do agree on the memory size. But other than that, it is way overpriced. Being locked into iTunes and higher phone plan rates. Count me out. Not to mention the phone would probably not even be covered by insurance for theft or accident.

  3. So what.... on Australian Students Can Get Office at 95% Off Retail · · Score: 1

    I got Windows XP Pro, and MS Office 2003 Pro for 20 buck each while working at an office supply store. Both full install, retail discs. Yes they were %100 legit, and straight from Microsoft. =P

  4. Similar on Is It Illegal To Disclose a Web Vulnerability? · · Score: 1

    I had a similar experience. I was doing some research on a cell phone that I was going to purchase. I wandered onto a poorly written blog/website. He was a "professional" webmaster. He had random screen shots posted up on his site. He had a webmail service that he ran. Had user names, real names, AND passwords all in one pic. Not to mention he had a few sensitive cell phone network plans unsecured. Scary

  5. JJJOOOOOOOOOCKS!!!!!! on "Revenge of the Nerds" Remake Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Anyway. No offense to Emory students, but isn't that school full of nerds anyway. Only place that I could see it happen (in Georgia) is Ga. Tech.

  6. Sears already does this. on Bosses Keep Sharp Eye on Mobile Workers · · Score: 1

    They have GPS in a majority of thier service vans. They are working on putting it in all of thier vans. And if a last minute "emergency" repair call comes in, a call goes out to that driver in that area. This is not new or unusual people

  7. Wait a minute now... on Slashback: XPiracy, Panel, Gentoo · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am supposed to keep Windows updated. AND have an antivirus program?

  8. It was GTA3 that made me... on Kids Kill, Victim Sues Game Maker · · Score: 1

    Get hookers, run red lights, flip off people, and drive recklessly (just to name a few). Thats gonna be my new defense from now on...

  9. Lots of styrofoam and duct tape on Making a House That Will Last for Centuries? · · Score: 1

    that will last forever. it will even beat stone. also it is cheap and cost effective

  10. Re:only if you use the 1040EZ on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 1

    I have seen some limit up to 30k(gross) a year.

  11. Interesting comment. on Humans Hold Off the Machines... For Now · · Score: 1

    As I was wathing the match the other day, one of the commentators said that,"Deep Junior only made a few moves on its own in a previous (5th?) match." And, "that it had basically run 19 moves by program, and the rest 'on its own'" So in my opinon, yes he fought a computer, but he lost to a program. Not a truly "free" thinking computer that has to learn how to play.

  12. But where does the "curb" begin... on Going Through the Garbage · · Score: 1

    I have trash pickup next to my garage, well away from the street. So does that mean that they can go in my garbage then? How about when you take it close to the curb. Would it be considered private property or not?

  13. Re:where can I get one? on Requiem for the Disappearing Pay Phone · · Score: 1

    Why in the heck would you want one? I know it would be neat, but jeez. I almost had to use one last week, but didn't because I was afraid I'd catch something from it. I'd rather eat from the floor in a port-o-potty, than use one. Not to mention that they now charge a minimum 50 cents.

  14. An article soon to come... on RIAA Now Targeting Retailers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Car makes to sue all used car dealerships.

    And, I just can't wait until the day I have to pay royalties for a cd that I have already purchased.

  15. Of course they are not your friend... on Cable Companies Despise PVRs · · Score: 1

    With ever increasing rates, cutting channels, and poor customer service. I knew this a while back, but what can I/you do? Nothing ever gets resuts.

  16. Credit card as a verification??? on MS Passport and... Visa · · Score: 1

    How can that be? Then how am I safe if someone steals my identity and creates an MSN account, not that I would anyway, before me? It makes no sence at all. It would make more hassle I would think. Espicially if you were to freeze your account. Would you online status be frozen also? What if you don't want a CC anymore?

  17. Fault codes... on Proposed Law To Open Code ... In Cars · · Score: 1

    I, right now am having car problems right now. It will cost me $75 to have the mechanic to "download" the fault codes for my Mazda. And after that, I will probably get ripped off yet again for the repair. But as for my previous car, an Isuzu, told in the manual how to check the fault codes. It was an easy thing to do.
