    Hmmm...Screwed? Nah..I would call this natural selection.

    Seriously - its no different than writing your "simple passwords" on a piece of paper somewhere and someone finding the list. For bonus points, what was the password used in Wargames :-)

    Kudos to AOL for at least providing this option to the general public.

    Most people don't use either because their bank/credit card doesn't support them.

    The biggest thing I have found useful is online bill pay.

  11. Re:External on TV Tuners For The PC: Internal Or External · · Score: 3, Informative

    DScaler is by far the best TV tuner app I have found. All of the ones that come with the TV tuner cards freeze or don't work right.

    If you want one that works try DScaler - its open source and easy to use!

    Hehe. I'm still waiting for a mousepad/mouse that uses magnets to make the mouse hover over the mousepad. That way there is no friction and the mouse doesn't get all grimey.

    Anyone know if this exists?

  18. Re:Open Source More Secure... maybe not on Exploit Based On Leaked Windows Code Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I would disagree with you there. Just go to microsoft.com and download IE6.

    Mozilla is a good alternative, but its not quite as fast as IE6 in rendering web pages. Not to mention its not as mature as IE6.

  19. WOOHOO Page down now works correctly!!! on Microsoft Security Patch Fixes URL Security Flaw · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not sure if anyone else noticed, but this "security fix" seems to of mysteriously fixed the page down problem in IE which would cause the browser scroll down two pages at a time.

    Anyone else see this?

  21. Re:very simple fix... on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    Which is easier, walking someone through /etc plain text files, or walking someone through the windows registry? Both are difficult, but Windows makes it MUCH easier for people to configure. I would much rather use a computer with Windows XP to configure my network settings than try to edit all the hard to find modules and "plain text" files under Linux. Aside from web servers and the "check it out I can set up a mySQL database to store my comic book collection" momments, Linux does not have what it takes to be a dominant player in the desktop market. The Windows XP desktop environment is 100 times more polished that Linux. Has way better game and multimedia support. Did I mention that Windows XP is also the OS installed on over 85% of the desktop PC's worldwide? (PCWorld Dec. 2003) Linux has a mere 8%. Go figure...
