  1. Sanity on Life Interrupted · · Score: 1

    One reason people multitask is to keep their minds occupied while doing something that bores them. Fortunate are those who are able to work doing what they love. Or have at least figured out what that is.

  2. Re:Just to be safe... on Dead? Hope You Left Someone Your Passwords · · Score: 1
    Even better, remember the phrase but use the first letters of every word as your password. As a bonus it won't be part of any cracker's dictionary.

    "To be or not to be, that is the question" becomes "tbontbtitq".

  3. Can't get past installer on NetBeans 4.0 Release · · Score: 1
    I couldn't even get the damn thing installed. It couldn't find my JDK 1.5.0 directory despite numerous attempts to locate it first with the mandatory command-line parameter (this is a Windows installer?) and later with an almost standard Windows file open dialog box.

    I suppose I could have reinstalled my existing JDK and tried NetBeans again but if this was a sign of NetBeans' ease of use then no thanks. My time is worth more to me than that.

  4. Re:AdBlock on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 1

    I don't click on ads of any type. So my use of Adblock doesn't affect advertiser's profits one way or the other.

  5. Baldfaced on IE Holes Not Microsoft's Fault, Says Bill · · Score: 1
    Q: Speaking of security, Internet Explorer has had well-publicized holes
    Gates: Understand those are cases where you are downloading third-party software.

    We understand that you are lying, Mr. Gates. There are plenty more where those come from.

  6. Ransack your drive on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    For searching within files on Windows I'm a fan of the free Agent Ransack.

  7. Has to be said... on 378 Terabytes Of Star Wars on 600 G5s · · Score: 3, Interesting
    With the obvious exception of Greedo shooting first I actually prefer the Special Edition with all the snazzy special effects.

    Really.

    Both editions should be available, though, for those whose fanaticism is more religious than mine. That is, if LucasFilm even bothered saving a digital version of the original print during the Special Edition restoration.
