    Not owning a dictionary is no excuse.

  2. Re:Ummm..freezing is now 0 F? on Extreme Linux Server Available to North America · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think what you're trying to say is "Fahrenheit is easier for me because it's what I'm used to".

    As a South Aussie, Celcius is perfect,
    0 = bloody cold
    10 = cold
    20 = just right
    30 = quite warm
    40 = hot

    What should I wear if it's 65F outside? Without converting to Celcius I'd have no idea.

  3. Re:Silly china on China Plans Domestic Software Quotas · · Score: 1
    It was protectionist trade barriers that allowed the fledgling industries of Europe and the USA to grow in their early days.

    Free trade is beneficial to industries that are already powerful but harmful to those trying to break into an established market. Thus free trade is good for the Chinese textile industry but bad for their IT industry.

    Erm. Unique but not all that unique?

  5. Maybe possible for images on USAF Wants To Find Steganographic Content · · Score: 2

    I wonder if they've talked to this guy

    He claims to have a system which can detect modifications to photographic images.

    Any tampering with a photographic image causes detectable statistical changes. These changes can indicate that the image may have been edited to change the content or possibly that steganographic data has been added.

    So what's the intuitive way to get PS to use the GIMP's keybindings?

  8. Re:Banks? on Risk Management of Wireless Networks · · Score: 1

    If you require high levels of security, e.g. financial transactions, you should not assume that a cable is any more secure than a wireless link.

    I hate it when I wake up with embedded linen.

  10. Re:so what? on Open eBook Forum Courts Controversy Over Formats · · Score: 1
    There is currently no hardware to compare to a paper book. What I'd need before giving up paper books is
    • A screen at least the size of a paperback page.
    • Decent resolution (maybe 300dpi)
    • Reflective screen with good contrast.
    What I don't need (but others might).
    • Colour
    • High refresh rate. a few fps would suffice for browsing.
    • Backlight. Since I'm asking for a reflective screen, I probably want a front light ;)
    • Gigabytes of storage. But FLASH is cheap these days so what the hell.
