2007's Most Ironic Post of the Year.
Same goddamn post every fucking election cycle. Let's skip to the chase: THE POLITICIANS DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT OS THEIR CAMPAIGN RUNS. They're too busy stealing your money to buy votes with. They contract out or hire people who take care of all this shit for them. If you think you can read something into a politician by the OS their website is running on you FAIL and need to get back to your mom's basement and play WOW.
No reason why Captcha authentication can't be fun or interesting. Best one I've seen so far is kitten captcha. Complex pattern recognization is easy for people but hard for pooters. So just ask, "is this a kitten or a puppy?" and you're done. The only down side is updating the pics, but there are some ingenious solutions for that as well... Posted about it on my blog:

In other news, Some Advocacy Group Looking For Attention issued a press release that stated that Microsoft's databases could be used to keep track of dissidents by totalitarian regimes. "It is clear," said ASGLFA's media coordinator, Ms. Dou Che Bage, "that totalitarian regimes could easily use these tools to create a massive "data base" which could contain the names and addresses of every single person in a country. These names could then be "query-ed" against lists of known subversives, giving these totalitarian nations a quick and easy way to identify and locate people they deem undesirable." Ms. Bage went on to state that the advanced features of Microsoft's "Access" could in addition make it much easier to enter "data" though the use of what are known as "forms." ASGLFA advocates restricting these nations' access to advanced "data base" software. "It is clear that the creation of these advanced systems would be hindered if these nations are restricted to less advanced software such as "postGRE", as all we could find out about them is "RTFM." We are currently still researching exactly what that means."
My asus p4pe does that now. I can change the settings in the bios, but when there's a power disruption I loose the bios settings (battery bad; when this board dies I upgrade, so screw replacing it). The shitty thing is is that it doesn't recognize my wireless keyboard so it does it every time. I leave an old ps/2 plugged in now.
I had that exact same fuckign thing happen to me. It pissed me off so bad that I have NEVER bought another logitech input device.
Well, except for their bluetooth laptop mouse. Its the cheapest one on the market. But I'll be GODDAMNED if they think I'm going to install their bloated mouse software, the bastards!
Wow. Its pretty obvious that the guy who is supposedly Oswald had on a plaid shirt and has a much sharper face with pronounced cheekbones, whereas Oswald had a softer, more oval face. Amazing how you are so easily convinced by a grainy photograph of some guy who doesn't look like Oswald. I think you need to put the bong down, dude.
The source is obviously paid by Big Oil (ad hominem)
The scientific community has reached consensus on the matter (appeal to belief, bandwagon)
Al Gore says the worst will happen (appeal to authority)
Only an idiot wouldn't believe its true (ridicule)
If we don't do something now we'll all be dead (appeal to fear)
Its the responsibility of the denyers to prove that the worst won't happen (burden of proof)
Either warming isn't happening, or its man's fault; its getting a bit warm therefore we did it (false argument)
Come on! Add your own logical fallacies! Its fun!
First off, maybe 1/1000th of the population would have any idea that the second login would be secure (this is NOT best practices so expecting this behavior is NOT something you should do). Secondly, by mimicing the failed login behavior, what you would normally expect to happen (login attampt, login failed notice, redirection back to login page) would happen. Being on autopilot, most people would try another username/password combination rather than check the URL to see if its now an SSL connection. Thirdly, it is easy as shit to set up a fake SSL website. Yes, the cert will be invalid, but most people just click through the warning dialogs. Hell, even if they did examine the cert, only a person with professional experience in these matters would be able to determine 100% that the certificate was a fake.
So the premice that all you need to do is just enter fake login information the first time is bad advice. You can't expect this to work all the time and even when it does its no guarantee that you aren't still being fucked with. So if you tell your mother to do this, you're not keeping her from harm. If you want to tell them anything, tell them that if the login page doesn't have HTTPS in the front to NOT login, to call whoever runs the site and complain, and not to use their online services until it DOES start with HTTPS.
An easy remedy for when a secure page isn't available is to enter a bad username and password which usually brings up a secure page telling you to try again
If I was going to create a phishing website, not only would I have the fake frontend, but I'd simulate the login failed behavior of the website as well. That way I'd get not only the login information the user believes is valid for the faked website, but I'd also harvest multiple login/password combinations from that user. So entering a fake username/password to get the "secure" login page isn't exactly the best advice.
Actually, due to readyboost, it very might well be faster loading programs. It definitely is faster coming back from standby. Dropped a massive 20 bucks on a 2gb compact flash for it; glad it at least seems to be working.
Apparently you gather everything you read at/., most of which is anti-M$ FUD. Been running Vista Business on my XPS 1210 for a month and haven't noticed one minute less of battery life. I'll have to test it, now. And everything performs as well as it did with XP. Again, haven't noticed anything slowing down. Best 0$ I ever spent (powertogether.com).
Guess that means that you 1) believe 9/11 was an inside job 2) are for state control of industry 3) are against freedom of political speech 4) hate jews in Israel etc etc etc. I could go on sticking bullshit on you that Kucinich, Hillary, and Jimmy Carter are for, however I don't actually know you. But until you grow a pair and stand up against the far left of this country are at the top of the Democratic party, guess that's all I'll ever think about you.
I'm pretty sure that you do not own what you do not create. The courts would decide in this matter; wanna pay lawyers fees?
And you avoid the fact that you are not issued a user account at any website. To prove this fact, I have registered your handle at YouTube, Digg and FuckYourMother.com.
First off, you're goddamn lucky you didn't get a c&d letter from Origin for using their copyrighted materials without consent. Then you were lucky they even were nice enough to offer to buy it. I think the smartest thing you could have done was take their offer without haggling. Congratulations.
Anthony is somebody--he's a human being and an American citizen. You are not issued a MySpace profile upon birth in this country. He saw value in the profile, developed it, and was successful. It is not Obama's to decree the worth of Anthony's work. In a free, capitolist society it is the right of the producer to put a price on his work. It is also the right of the consumer to decide not to pay that price. It is not, however, the right of the consumer to try and cheat the producer out of his goods. Some politicians believe that is their right. Obama apparently is one of them.

I didn't know that "recycling" meant "wasting energy and natural resources to dismantle trash." Informative+++!

Snide little clevel genius? Damn, I'm an asshole. First thing that came to my mind when I read the submitter was "cunt."
Dumbest counter example, EVAR. Amirite?
