  1. Re:Wait... what? on Game Industry Not Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which sells more theater tickets?
    Well, this one I think I can answer for you.

    Well, don't leave us hanging! Which one is it?
  2. Re:How it 'works' on Testing didtheyreadit.com's Mail-Tracking Claims · · Score: 1
    From the 'How It Works' page: Will my recipient know that I am tagging my e-mail?
    No. Not unless you want them to know.

    As I suspected, they are just using a tracking image, sometimes I look at the source of messages (sad, I know), then I would know if I was being tracked.


    Or if you use OSX's Mail.app, and turn off auto loading images. Then you get a nice blue bar across the top of the message saying "This message contains unloaded images." If I saw this, and could only find one pixel of gray placeholder (or couldn't find it at all, since it's too small), I think I'd be suspicious.
  3. Cold/flu bacteria? on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 1

    From the article:

    Office equipment should be regularly disinfected to prevent the spread of bacteria responsible for colds and flu.

    Unless there's some new-fangled colds and flus going around, these are both caused by viruses. It's articles like this that lead to people asking for anibiotics for anything that's bothering them.

    Forgot to mention... There are no graphical glitches, it's just there one second and gone the next.

  5. Re:Posting from Dasher... on Dasher Available For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Well, it seems to be working now, but the first several (at least 5) times I tried switching the alphabet, it crashed immediately. Also, about 1 in 4 times, it crashes just after I start the input going, and making any changes to the text just by typing seems to cause problems when I start the input going again. All of the crashes involving the itput system are segfaults, while the one from changing the alphabet is a bus error.

  6. Re:Does it support mice with multiple buttons? on Dasher Available For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    My 2nd button and a scroll wheel don't seem to get in the way (unless that has somthening to do with why it's been crashing all the time), but since the interface is based entirely on moving the mouse around, rather than clicking, they don't do anything, either.

  7. Posting from Dasher... on Dasher Available For Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting
