So heres the issue: Computers are getting to the point where they can solve CAPTCHAs better than humans, so why don't we flip the tables? Why not build a CAPTCHA that takes human weaknesses into account? For example, use optical illusions and ask the human what it _appears_ to be doing, not what it actually is doing. A computer would perfectly interpret the illusion and output what it is doing, whereas the human would look at it, be fooled, and say what it appears to be doing.
Unless you have way too much time on your hands and probably an electron microscope as well, `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda` works just fine. This is especially true for protecting against identity theft because no identity thief will want to spend that much time/money/effort recoving your data when they can just get another drive that wasn't wiped at all. (Unless you're really rich - then maybe they would.)
Whats an ad?...No, really - I haven't seen any ads online in 5+ years thanks to AdBlock! Before adblock it was an/etc/hosts blacklist. I am to the point that if I visit any site I frequent on another computer without AdBlock I am surprised to find out that yes, ads still do exist.
On another note, if I am looking to buy something but I don't know where to get it, Google AdWords is one of the first places I look. I am always pleased at how out-of-the-way and un-obtrusive it is when I don't need it, (not to mention loads quickly since it's all text) but how useful it is when I do need it. Thanks Google for not making us "hit the target" or "spank the monkey" or whatever other crappy annoying flash ad is the latest fad.
Wait - didn't the Army create the Internet to do just this in the first place?...Oh, right - that was DARPA. Apparently the Army knows nothing about what DARPA creates...
Get a microphone with decent high fequency response. Plug into computer. Using an RTA (Real Time Analyzer) show the police the giant solitary spike around 18K, or whatever it's at.
The reason the police can't hear it is cause they're in cars with sirens all day long - the sirens damage their hearing. Get a police detective to come out - they should be able to hear it since they sit in an office and aren't around sirens all the time.
Cedega is great - I have it. ATI, however, sucks some major ass. I still can't play any of my Windows games, not because of Cedega, but because my ATI Mobility 9200, which is claimed to be supported, still won't work properly with ATI's drivers.
WiFi uses the 2.4GHz band. The FCC has declared the 2.4GHz band open. Anyone can do anything they want with 2.4GHz. If I want to braodcast unencrypted WiFi, I have every right to do so without anyone regulating my doing so.
Yes, we do have 2 ears, but we also only have 2 eyes - shouldn't we only see in 2D then? It's the same thing - our brain takes the signal and interprets it to form a complete 3D picture. (It does this by detecting both the delay between both ears, and sensing what frequencies were lost on one side because of the sound trying to go through our head.)
...is their Linux support the same as their support for desktop models? If so I might have to rip out my ATI mobility I still can't get to work and plug that sucker in!
And jfengel was like: ...You can take a common word and trademark it for your application...
Woa! Sweet! I'm totally trademarking the word "Trademark"! All yo suckers now owe me like $50,000,000, BIATCHES! MMMWWWWWUUUUUAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

How Ice Melts
·
· Score: 1
...Ok, so who really cares about ice melting. Here is the bigger question: Why doesn't Jello melt? It's the only liquid that when put in the fridge, turns into a solid, but when taken out doesn't turn back into a liquid! WTF, mate!?
I am amazed. Seriously. I walked by the Apple store in my local mall the other day, and saw a ton of hot chicks in there! When was the last time even 1 hot chick was in your local computer store? This may just turn out to be every slashdotter's dream come true!
San Jose, CA. For immediate release. Hobadee has just created a new super-computer that will be able to solve the answer to life's question in 42 seconds. The computer itself is made out of a chewed piece of bubble-gum and tin foil. Unfortunatly, the software required for it to run has yet to be invented.
Yes, but just think of the possibilities! If we find the inverse of that formula, we can make things bigger! Just think, you could increase your penis size tenfold!

Linux has always handled Windows networking better than Windows has.
Well, can I?
So ya... I've got 5 apps running right now and all I'm doing is reading ./!!!
Thunderbird, Firefox, KTorrent, Kopete, Skype
Not to mention *NIX's plethora of background processes.

Now, this may be crazy talk, but shouldn't you do the computer simulations BEFORE sending the $80m craft on it's way?
Quick, everyone, switch to IPX!!! It would be SOOOO much better than IPv4 or IPv6!!!
...but all the full version does is remind me to buy the Pro version every 5 minutes!?
Wait - didn't the Army create the Internet to do just this in the first place? ...Oh, right - that was DARPA. Apparently the Army knows nothing about what DARPA creates...
Advantages? ADVANTAGES!? Dude, think, your framerate for Counter-Strike will RULE!

And WidescreenFreak was like: ....sign Kyoto (which I am fervently against because of the way it singles out the U.S.)....
Question: Why SHOULDN'T the US be singled out in Kyoto? We are, after all, the number 1 poluting nation in the world....
