  5. Re:Add to Question on Searching for a Decent Scanner? · · Score: 1

    The scanner on the Epson Stylus CX 3650 ALL-IN-ONE works perfectly with sane.

  9. I hate to admit ... on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 1

    I think the aliens will be crushing their brains over what this 'made in Taiwan' displayed on all silicon units will mean.

  11. Re:Binary CD? on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 1

    I have audio CDs from many more years ago that are heavilly being used and scrathed and still play perfectly. They won't shoot a standard CDR into space me thinks.

  12. Re:Power usage? on Interview with SETI@home Director David Anderson · · Score: 1

    Then I might hope the alien planet we find gives it's power-resources to us once we find it to spread the costs more equally.

  13. Re:Yellow Teeth on Coffee A Health Drink? · · Score: 1

    Why not just drink only one or two cups of your favourite drink every day?

    Won't happen. People will use the internet that comes with the computer they buy.

  16. Re:Question on Usability Eye for The GIMP Guy · · Score: 1

    I'm quite sure there is a photoshop-style gimp-branch out there simply because it's a propable step in the open-source world. (?)

    Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?

    Number Two: Sea Bass.

    Dr. Evil: [pause] Right.

    Number Two: They're mutated sea bass.

    Although not instantaniously, I got a garbage collector taking care of that stuff.

  20. Re:Traffic statistics on Ogg Vorbis Share Reaches 12.3% on P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

  23. I once had a customer... on Writing Down Passwords? · · Score: 1

    I once had a customer at the gassstation where I worked who had many plastic passes with all different passcodes.

    On the passes he had post-its.

    I asked where they where for.

    He showed them to me. It were tables with mostly arbitrary numbers in the cells. He only had to remember the combination of cells to recover the code from the pass with the post-it on it.

  24. You will forget it one day. on Writing Down Passwords? · · Score: 1

    This week I wanted to log in to an old ICQ account to retrieve some old friend's information. I forgot the password for ICQ I though I would never forget. The hotmail account's password for password retrieval for the ICQ number I also forgot because I used to used it for subscriptions only.

    Over time your brains dump the information it does not use. Write the passwords down and secure the them physically.

  25. And while we're at it... on No Billboards in Space · · Score: 1

    ... shouldn't we make a law that forbids to arrange stars for advertizing purposes?
