  1. Re:Tinfoil Hat Jokes aside on Tinfoil Hat House · · Score: 1

    take a look at this (requires flash)

  2. Re:Saw it Friday on Hitchhiker's Guide Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I'm a bowl of petunias you insensitive clod.

  3. Re:My identity stolen? on Berkeley Grads' Identity Data Stolen · · Score: 1

    An identity is supposed to be unique. Copying it makes it no longer unique. The uniqueness of your identity was stolen.

  4. Was I the only one... on Four Inducted Into SF Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    ... who thought of SourceForge when seeing SF?

    Come on Science fiction already has SciFi. Do we really need to shorten it further?

  5. Re:I'm a type 1 diabetic on Needle Free Injections With Microjets · · Score: 1
  6. Re:You're modded as +3 funny but... on Women Leaving I.T. · · Score: 1

    I would say the opposite would be true. If there is a barrier to entry for women into IT(or even a perceived barrier) then only the women who were truly interested in the subject will be there.

  7. Using both "broken" hashes on SHA-1 Broken · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why not make two hashes of a password using different algorithms, one using MD5 and the other using SHA-1. If an attacker was able to produce a password where the hash matched one it would be very unlikely to get the correct hash using the other algorithm unless the attacker had found the original password.

  8. Tinfoil Hat on Following the Chips in Wynn's New Casino · · Score: 1
    It makes me nervous knowing I could be unwittingly scanned by others after I leave the floor.

    Easy, keep them under your tinfoil hat.

  9. Coincidence? on FBI Investigating Laser Beams Pointed at Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Too bad we can't seal off their part of the atmosphere too. Let them be destroyed by their own greenhouse effect.

  10. Re:Very, very hot water? on Creating Hydrogen With (Very) Hot Water · · Score: 1

    more clouds?

    You insensitive clod
    I live in the UK

  11. Re:Very, very hot water? on Creating Hydrogen With (Very) Hot Water · · Score: 1

    Water only boils at 100 degrees C under normal conditions. If you increase the pressure you can keep water in it's liquid state over 100 degrees, this is how a pressure cooker works.

    Under pressure the molecules do not have space to turn into a gas.

  12. Coincidence? on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: 1

    Your viewpoint does not take into account the cost of the accidents. Insurance premiums are not calulated entirely on the probability part of the risk equation.

    Risk = probability * consequences

    If women had a lower cost (consequence) then they could have lower premiums despite being in more accidents.

  13. Re:Discounts? on Munich to Go Ahead with Linux After All · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Surely this proves that Microsoft is now seeing Linux as a credible threat to their business model and dominant market position.

    Of course, even if they halved their prices they'd still be making a massive profit.

    This is encouraging, perhaps Linux is just what market needs to bring back competition into play.

  14. Discounts? on Munich to Go Ahead with Linux After All · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Did Microsoft not lower their prices enough at the mention of them going to Linux?

  15. What date is it? on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 1

    check date != 1st April

  16. Re:Less bloat gives more trust on 32,000 "Why I'm Tired" Emails · · Score: 1

    It worked for Google

  17. Re:hmmm mildly impressed. on Matsushita Designed Sleep Room · · Score: 1

    Have you tried AutoZen? It's generates tones that can help you change brain state. I sometimes use it before I sleep to try and induce lucid dreams.

  18. Coincidence? on 71% of Spam Servers are Located in China · · Score: 1

    With the recent spate of worms plus a lot of insecure computers
    Coincidence, I think not.
