  1. I use the Pink Eye defense system on Touchscreens Open To Smudge Attacks · · Score: 1

    Whenever I go somewhere leave my Droid on the desk at work, I put a little poo on the screen. Best. Defense. Ever. against someone taking it and trying to figure out my pass swipe pattern.

  2. Shh! Dammit! on Senate Approves the ______Act Of____ · · Score: 2, Funny

    My plan to have Congress name me king and eternal diety has come to fruition and you're ruining it!

  3. Re:Question: on Larry Ellison Rips HP Board a New One · · Score: 3, Informative

    My understanding, though I've not read about the case in depth, is that he was accused, he admitted to it, and the accuser had already worked out a resolution, then the crap hit the fan, so to speak.

  4. Last time I used Skype on Skype Files For IPO · · Score: 4, Funny

    I tried to call my broker to buy some shares. Comcast picked that moment to throttle my traffic so the connection got a bit "wonky". Now I own 10,000,000 shares of SCO.

    I'm boned.

  5. Re:Military Policies in General on US Military 'Banned' From Viewing Wikileaks · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure doing it your way would have been a smashing success on Omaha Beach or Tarawa or Saipan or Iwo Jima.

  6. So let's see... on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 4, Funny

    Lazy Fuck receives router with password set to password1
    Lazy Fuck doesn't change it for THREE fucking years
    ISP decides to secure router for Lazy Fuck since Lazy Fuck evidently cannot
    ISP Emails Lazy Fuck with new password
    ISP changes password so Lazy Fuck doesn't get wtfpwn3d
    Lazy Fuck whines like a petulant little schoolgirl

    How did this retard even find slashdot, let alone create an account and post?

    lazy fuck could be lit on fire next to a pool and he'd burn to death.

  7. Re:1 meter (3.3 feet) on New Mars Rover Rolls For the First Time · · Score: 2, Informative

    And everytime I see a post like this I think of The Ariane 5 Flight 501 failure (integer overflow error, LOL!) and ask myself will they step into the 20th century and ever put someone on the moon?

    Greetings from the United States.

  8. Re:Simple on Passwords That Are Simple — and Safe(?) · · Score: 1

    Users can use something simple like D0n'th4ckm3!D0n'th4ckm3! (just an example) which is easy to remember and meets the criteria for using upper, lower special and number

  9. And somewhere on The Mouse Vanishes · · Score: 1

    Michael J Fox is thinking, "Fuck Me! I'll never be able to use this!"

  10. Re:honestly... on Fate of Terry Childs Now In Jury's Hands · · Score: 1

    "...If the COO of your organization can't get the passwords who can?"

    If the policy states clearly, *in print* that the passwords should only be given to the mayor, fuck the COO and anyone else (except the damn mayor) who asks for them. *that" is what he was paid to do and that is what he did.

  11. Re:honestly... on Fate of Terry Childs Now In Jury's Hands · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They didn't "allow this person to get complete control of essentially EVERYTHING", they paid him to do it and not tell anyone the password except the mayor.

    Technically, he should get a bonus instead of boned

  12. Re:Come to Verizon! on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 1

    DARN!

    And here I was looking to sell my stairmaster when I move there...

  13. I don't know about you guys on Videogame Driving Skills Don't Apply In Real Life · · Score: 0, Redundant

    but everytime I run over a hooker and take the money of her bloody corpse, I definitely thank Rockstar games for making the GTA franchise!

  14. Re:Eyefinity Portrait Mode on Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 — Gaming On Six Panels · · Score: 1

    You fucking rock. They're IPS panels

  15. Eyefinity Portrait Mode on Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 — Gaming On Six Panels · · Score: 5, Informative

    I currently use an Eyefinity setup in Portrait Mode with a Dell 2408FWP and 2 Dell U2410s.

    Here's my trippy background http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1050/echo.jpg (it's rather large at 3600x1920)

    The setup is pretty awesome in my opinion and is pretty easily driven by my single 5870.

    I do, from time to time, run into an issue where the card hits its framebuffer from being limited to 1GB or RAM so I believe I will upgrade for the sole purpose of getting that additional 1GB of RAM. I also believe the E6 cards probably come with some minor revisions to their architecture and BIOS that may allow them to be overclocked a little better than the original batch of 1GB cards that were released on Launch Day (When I got mine)

    I do understand the laws of supply & demand may cause some to raise prices somewhat, but I am hoping that the new cards are not offered at some outrageous price.

  16. Proper Disclosure! on How To Build Roads To Control How Fast You Drive · · Score: 1

    Disclosure:

    This study was funded by the American Association of Car Jackers

    Reached for comment, President Markavius Jones stated, "We be approvin dis shit fo sho! This shit be makin' ma j-o-b mo easier!"

  18. I wasn't skipping class on Professor Ditches Grades For XP System · · Score: 1

    I was building Vitality!

  19. I go months before patching on Typical Windows User Patches Every 5 Days · · Score: 1

    All but 2 of my home computers are configured as Media Center PCs, I do not patch them.

    They connect to the internet only to update the program guide. Since that's the extent of their interraction with the rest of the world, I do not see the need to patch them. I do, however, regularly patch my gaming machine and my Netbook since I use them almost daily.

    I think September 2009 was the last time I updated Windows Vista Home Premium on my Dell E510 doing HTPC duties.

    Damn...If it wasn't so private maybe I'd have heard about it and fought...

  24. More than fair! on Judge Lowers Jammie Thomas' Damages to $54,000 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Definitely fair for 24 songs. Especially considering the fact that the RIAA said she was guilty!

    I mean, if they did have to prove actual damages and all that other stuff, it would have cost far more to pay off the people to inflate the numbers under penalty or perjury, so they would have been entitled to even more money she doesn't have, so $54k is a bargain in the long run.

    Now she can sell body parts (her own, preferably) to pay them off. Maybe she can get buy with only part of her liver and 1 kidney?

  25. Re:So? on Jeremy Allison Calls Microsoft Dangerous Elephant · · Score: 1

    Apparently under the latest version Alistair can hurl insults at Morrigan under WINE, so it's all good.
