  1. Re:Easier to remember random passwords on Enforcing Crytographically Strong Passwords · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Or, if the length of the passwords isn't restricted, just use the whole sentence without any spaces and say goodbye to brute force.

  2. Re:Beta on Guild Wars Gone Gold, Previewed · · Score: 1
    you can't jump
    Yes you can. /jump

    :P
  3. Re:I forsee on Google Adds Search History Feature · · Score: 5, Informative
    Be aware that your Google search history main page contains your last search in the URL (it's a "prev" parameter). Sites you then click on may thus check their referrer logs to get to know what you were searching for previously, which is a potential privacy issue. Google has been alerted to this.
    They already have!
  4. By the way on Google Adds Search History Feature · · Score: 3, Informative

    And before you privacy nuts start freaking out, this isn't the start of search logging, as proven here they've been doing it for some time.

  5. Re:grrrr on Report on Last Decade of Online Advertising · · Score: 1

    Or you can just, you know, block the cookies!

  6. Why? on Dell Still Intel Only · · Score: 1
    Why not offer customers an alternative that has better performance instead of risking the lose of those customers to another vendor that does?
    Why? Because it's Dell. They don't even offer AGP slots on their lower-end towers if you don't order a graphics card that comes with it.
  7. Wait a minute on Pros and Cons of Firefox Critically Evaluated? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isn't finding more vulnerabilities a good thing? I mean as long as they're getting patched and all, the browser is becoming more secure with every bugfix.

  8. Re:beware on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 1

    Couldn't be more true! But I guess that's what life in a nutshell is about, not being prepared for a given situation but eventually adapting to it.

  9. Re:It's like porn.... on Congress Debates Anti-Spyware Bill · · Score: 1
    it's impossible to retrieve the information necessary to make the determination - whether the user has given consent, whether it was a double opt-in list, whether there is a prior relationship, things like that
    Which is exactly why it's hard to legally define.
  10. Re:Misnomer on North Pole Gets Wi-Fi Hotspot · · Score: 1

    This is obviously a lie. My wireless card isn't picking it up at all!

  11. Re:Silly Argentina on ISPs in Argentina Must Log Everything · · Score: 1
    walla
    ... Voila?
  12. Re:Seeking? on Hitachi Predicts 3D Hard Disks by Year's End · · Score: 1

    No, because it's the total is equal to x*y*z, not x+y+z

  13. Re:Wrong conversion on Car Powered by Compressed Air · · Score: 2, Funny

    You mean "kompressed" time

  14. Re:What next? on Games That Shoot Back · · Score: 0, Troll

    But this isn't even really a game, you didn't even have to RTFA to see that it was used for training.

  15. Re:Ocean? on Hubble Verdict: De-Orbit · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to take pictures of objects that close, this is also why there are no clear up-close pictures of the moon.

  16. Re:Not a joke on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    Gmail was announced last year on April 1st and it's still around today, is it not?

  17. Re:April 1st!!! on Google Ride Finder Announced · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, Gmail was also proposed on April 1st.

  18. Re:Link is broken on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Actually, I tried to post a new link but it still had the same problem, it's a slashcode bug, not error on the editor's part.

  19. Link is broken on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 5, Informative

    Replace the %23 with a # and the url will work.

  20. Re:For $350... on PSP Not A Sellout Hit · · Score: 1

    Even if I did buy the PSP, there's no way I would bring it with me in public, let alone keep it in my pocket. It would be lucky to ever leave the house. Kinda like me, I guess. :(

  21. For $350... on PSP Not A Sellout Hit · · Score: 2, Informative

    .. you could buy a regular console and still have plenty left over.

  22. Re:Fastest non-atomic collision ever? on NASA's Deep Impact Moved Into Cruise Phase · · Score: 1

    Atomic objects meaning objects as small as atoms. (atoms)

  23. Re:It's worth noting... on Kid Named After Everquest Character · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, the only reason why it works is because if you type in any word into the address bar in Firefox and it's not a http:// link, it will do a "Feeling Lucky" search on Google. This has been implemented for a while.

    This is France, of course they don't like Google!
