  1. Re:Securely store or shred on Graphics Programs Uncover Secret PINs · · Score: 1

    i never liked shredding, sure it deters the common theif but its still a puzzle and like a puzzle it can be put back together, i usually turn them into paper mache (i don't know how to spell that) after shredding so that the fibers themselves aren't attached anymore. makes for a VERY difficult puzzle if you ever wanted them back.

  2. Re:Looks more like a certain Italian Renaissance on Shape Changing Plane In Development · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but they didn't paint the Sistine Chapel.

    actually you can get out, you can walk through the wall next to the door while inside the castle.

  4. Re:Relicensing on Convincing Your Superiors to GPL the Code? · · Score: 1

    or what you could do is require that the code that is contributed be signed away to some entity that manages the gpled code, this would allow that entity to relicense it later. IIRC mysql and a few other packages do it this way.

  5. Re:Dry Ice Slot on Pentium 4 Overclocked to 7.1GHz, Sets World Record · · Score: 1

    the problem with that is that you need extrememly high pressures also, IIRC about 26atm, i don't think i could stand that for very long

  6. Re:Style on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Correction on When Microbes Ate the Ocean · · Score: 1

    i figured he was refering to this

    who would think that he would refer to something other than one of the better web comics out there.

  8. Re:Holodeck problems on View-Dependent Stereoscopic Projection · · Score: 1

    yea windows would cause everything to go blue and freeze up, you'd never get out. it'd just be blue everywhere, with text saying that there's been an error and you can't do anything about it...

  9. Re:anti-bender? on Kegbot: The Future of Robotic Drink Service, Now · · Score: 1

    Artoo?!?! what the hell kind of nerd are you!?

  10. Boycott! on Thompson Goes After Sims 2 Nudity · · Score: 4, Funny

    I am boycotting this author for his obscene usage of the word penis in sexual situations, won't somebody think of the children?! He's exposing them to suggestive language thats even worse than pictures!

    drano and hydrogen are on the other side, and i dont know about you, i don't have that many clogged pipes

  14. Re:hmm on Last Year's Gadgets Get New Life As... Jewelry · · Score: 2, Funny

    Women are like diodes.. they turn on, but only when things are going their way. Better yet, they can take the current and they run forever.

    and they can only take so much of a difference in potential before the blow up and leave.

  15. Re:Wait... on How Ice Melts · · Score: 1

    lets just hope he doesn't get a starring role next to kevin costner, the movie goers would go braind dead trying to figure out how the movie got funding.

  16. Re:Desktop Eyecandy? on Xorg and Desktop Eyecandy · · Score: 1

    i used to do that in windows 98 there's a button on the toolbar capable of doing that, it looks like a dashed rectangle

  17. Re:No protection for employees on Copyright Law Protection for Employees? · · Score: 1

    it provides that protection to the stockholders and investors, not the employees

  18. Re:ECS K7S5A on How to Build a Mainboard: ECS Production Tour · · Score: 1

    i too have one of these boards, haven't had problems like that... but i have had problems with heat that i can't seem to explain other than faulty motherboard or faulty cpu (Athlon XP 1800 also). the ECS boards are far from perfect but i've never had one that was completely unusable (i just got a better fan one made to run an XP3200 i think it was), although i have had one physically break on the plastic fan clips on the cpu socket, fan broke them (poor design of the fan not the motherboard) and fell right off while using it and fried the whole damn thing, nice smell burnt silicon is.

  22. Re:A little ironic... on Britney is #1 Virus Celebrity · · Score: 1

    Irony is not a diabetic going to the pharmacy to get diabetic supplies getting hit by a sugar truck.
