    I searched "Google antitrust investigation" and it returned this image

    The bean counters at Yahoo! should care if a big enough percentage of their current users cancel their accounts.

    Good thing I'm using FreeDOS!

  5. Flash laser? on Transparent Aluminum Is "New State of Matter" · · Score: 1

    In this week's Nature Physics an international team, led by Oxford University scientists, report that a short pulse from the FLASH laser 'knocked out' a core electron from every aluminium atom in a sample without disrupting the metal's crystalline structure.

    First we get a story about green lasers. Then something about security problems with Flash.

    And now a story about a FLASH LASER?

    Is that a huge coincidence or what?

    I don't care what it's made of. All I want to know is where this new state is located.

    There are magical GPL fairies in the kernel that protect it from any and all attacks, even when the app in question is from a 3rd party.

    That's good to know!

    It's only four minutes long? What a rip-off.

  10. Re:USB Vendor ID on Palm Pre iTunes Syncing Back With WebOS 1.1 Update · · Score: 1

    But they're violating the purpose and spirit of the USB ID in order to prove Apple shouldn't be violating the purpose and spirit of the USB ID?

    This reminds me of the three stages in the history of warfare from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
    - RETRIBUTION: I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother.
    - ANTICIPATION: I'm going to kill you because I killed your brother.
    - DIPLOMACY: I'm going to kill my brother and then kill you, on the pretext that your brother did it.

  11. iTunes is "compatible" with my Nintendo DSi on Palm Pre iTunes Syncing Back With WebOS 1.1 Update · · Score: 1

    Select unprotected AAC tracks from iTunes, drop onto an SD card, insert SD card into Nintendo DSi.

    Nope it doesn't sync automagically but drag'n drop does work from within iTunes.

    You must have missed the "Karoo is the only ISP in the area" part.

    That's either millicentimeters or a McMeter. In both cases, I'm confused.

    Even if all the other tech were there, how are they going to move 3000 amps into a car?

    With a forklift?

  15. Re:cutting edge considerd harmfull on Typography On the Web Gets Different · · Score: 1

    There's nothing wrong, however, in using CSS for features that are nice if present but not absolutely necessary for displaying the content. Box drop shadows and special fonts are two things that won't prevent you from reading a website if you don't see them. It just won't look the same and that's fine because that's the way the Web works.

    Oh come on, yellow Comic Sans on a purple background can't be that ba-ARGH! The goggles! They do nothing!

    You might want to put at least a short description of what those apps are and what they do. This is slashdot, where people don't even RTFA.

    "I advise people to use unusual sentences as passwords." is gibberish?

    You write the whole complete sentence down, you do the needed modifications (remove caps, spaces, limit to 16 chars) yourself when you type it.

    So what? His password becomes "iadvisepeopletou". Simply enough, AND you can still put a sticky note on the monitor and most people wouldn't know it's the password.

    It could also be the same thing but backward from the last character. Could be backward but forward with the complete words. Could be from the 2nd or 3rd word in the sentence, etc.
