  1. Cheese on More on High-Altitude Balloonists · · Score: 1

    They might as well continue to the moon and bring some cheese back home.

  2. A problem? on Honeypot For Identifying Email-Harvesters · · Score: 1

    Isn't it possible that some of these auto-generated e-mail addresses will actually correspond to real addresses and thus cause innocent people to get spam they otherwise wouldn't get?

  3. The kind of doctor "we" think of... on China Develops Their Own CPU: The "Dragon Chip" · · Score: 1
    "a doctor, but not the kind that we think of"
    Don't generalize. As far as I am concerned, a doctor is somebody with a doctoral degree. The people who "cure people's illnesses" are called physicians and are usually not doctors, only by courtesy styled "dr. so-and-so". (BTW, this has nothing to do with Dr Seuss, of whom I had never heard until I just made a Google search on the name.)
  4. Re:A novel goal. on Danish Goal: 50% of Electricity from Wind · · Score: 1

    You are obviously confused by something. I'm sure some Dane will be able to come up with better figures, but Copenhagen has maybe 2 million people. No other Danish city comes even close.

    "Model protectorate"?

  5. Odd behaviour... on Polarized Screens to Hide Sensitive Data · · Score: 1
    Well, you won't be able to get away with it inconspicuously anyway. People will just have to look out for strange individuals wearing 3D-glasses and tilting and shaking their heads in front of the monitors.
    "Alternatively, Kuhn told New Scientist, simple 3D movie glasses could defeat the system. These have a horizontal polarising filter on one eye and a vertical filter on the other eye.

    "By tilting the head up to 45 degrees to either side and switching between both eyes, you can easily observe light at all polarisation angles," he says. Kuhn adds that an opaque shielding device might be simpler way to obstruct prying eyes."
  6. English-speaking space aliens, of course. on "MS Killed Java" (on the Client) JL Founder · · Score: 1

    Didn't you know that? Oh, no - now they will have to kill me!

  7. Breakfast on eSuds · · Score: 1

    Why isn't my kettle and my toaster on the 'net yet? How the hell am I supposed to eat breakfast with this primitive equipment?

  8. Re:Boo Hoo on Mr Anti-Google · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the problem that webmasters abused the standard (metatags)?

    But having it as an alternative search method is a good idea.

  9. Re:Google Cookies on Mr Anti-Google · · Score: 1
    "I even have a setup that replaces my google cookie with a randomly generated one every 6 hours."
    Hmm, interesting. How do you do that? Is this something you're willing to share with the public?
  10. George III on DVD Region Encoding on Verge of Collapse? · · Score: 1

    "Nicholas Hytner apparently couldn't have 'George III' in the title because Americans would have wondered what happened to parts I and II" (http://www.britmovie.co.uk/genres/drama/filmograp hy/025.html)

  11. Re:Over the top or out from the bottom on Toilet Paper Algorithms · · Score: 1

    Not quite. It's rather something like: "... must be careful that he does not himself become a monster." (Although I'm sure there is a better translation somewhere.)

  12. I want Tetris! on What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games? · · Score: 1

    I must agree with the person who wondered what was wrong with it. But where is a decent Tetris game for Windows to be found? There seems just to be dozens of clones around that lack the charm of the Tetris I once had on my old Macintosh SE (the Uspensky cathedral, the cosmonaut, the Russian folk melodies in plink-plonk version...). [*nostalgic sigh*] Is there a tetris for Linux (if I only get my Linux install to work...) A good Tetris version could be the killer app that Linux needs.
