    Windows and OSX both have extensive "Accessiblity" features that you really need to research.

  4. Salt base password with a context abbrv salt on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Create a 6 character base password like qaJdkW5 and use it as a base for everything. Then add a suffix for each particular use like quJdkW5G for Google quJdkW5sd for slashdot. You can then add digits to "version" them for applications that require changing passwords on a regular basis. Then all you have to do is remember the base and you can derive the rest.

  5. you don't use your car to create ip on Company Laptop, My Data — Can They Co-exist? · · Score: 1

    they car is a tool, it isn't used to create anything. best advice is keep personal shit personal and vice a versa.

    they bought Trolltech which develops the QT library.

  7. read for comprehension on Writing Style Fingerprint Tool Easily Fooled · · Score: 1

    this article is NOT about handwriting in anyway, it is about writing style which is the style you write in. No where does it mention anything about handwriting!

  8. read for comprehension on Writing Style Fingerprint Tool Easily Fooled · · Score: 1

    this article is NOT about handwriting analysis, it is about style analysis ( stylometrics ) which is NOT about handwriting at all!

  9. Brown People on Games Fail To Portray Gender and Ethnic Diversity · · Score: 1

    as long as the brown people are the bad guys I think they got it pretty right. :-)

  13. uninstalled it on What Did You Do First With Linux? · · Score: 1

    sometime in 1997, first thing I did after I got it was discover none of my devices were supported and uninstalled it.

  14. Re:Huh? Not an Acronym on World's First X-Ray Laser Goes Live · · Score: 1

    it is only an acronym if it is pronounced like a work (ie RADAR, LASER). LCLS is just an abbreviation.

  15. Re:Cat6 No such thing on Should Network Cables Be Replaced? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    actually there is no offical spec for Cat6 cable, it is something made up. Cat5e is all you need.

  16. what you don't understand is on Is Free Really the Future of Gaming? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    coding is the least part of a game. creating all the graphics, animations, sounds, textures, models and what not are what makes a world. And you need consistent quality for a cohesive vision of a world, and that usually takes someone working for money, most artists don't want to work for free and take direction from someone they don't know. Where as getting people to write code for free is much easier. The "creative" side is about 80% of the effort for a AAA title.

  17. SciFi Channel has done well with Friday nights on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    geeks will stay in on friday nights or more likely record the shows, I mean Stargate SG-1 was on for 10 years on Friday night, I never missed an episode, thanks to TiVo.

  18. Say it with me people Foxit Reader! on Homemade PDF Patch Beats Adobe By Two Weeks · · Score: 1

    why would anyone want to use Acrobat Reader when there is a free alternative that is way smaller, faster and better. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/

  19. portable shell scripting is called Python on Beginning Portable Shell Scripting · · Score: 1, Redundant

    why deal with limited shell scripting when you have something so batteries included and universal as Python

  20. Thermite is better than smashing! on "Smash Your Hard Drive" To Fight Identity Theft · · Score: 1
  21. Seasoned doesn't mean what you think it means! on How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I think by "seasoned" he means stuck in a rut that they know best because they have been doing the same thing for years. Those are the worst kinds of shops to have to manage. Read about SCRUM, that will give you some visibility into who actually knows what and does what.

  22. Raymond Scott already did it! on A Computer Composing and Playing Jazz · · Score: 3, Informative

    Raymond Scott is pretty much the "grandfather" of computer generated music. His mechanical composing tools predate just about everything else in the genre. http://www.raymondscott.com/

  23. Re:I've got to say, I agree with this post on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    just in case you didn't know, all mobile phones have a "silent" mode so you don't get interrupted, or you can just simply turn the thing off.

  24. Re:Moral of the story? on Qantas Blames Wireless For Aircraft Incidents · · Score: 1

    Agreed.

    Also it's ridiculous to think an infrared mouse could cause interference. Being optical, there's no way it could penetrate and interfere with the wiring behind a WALL on an airplane. Light does not penetrate solid objects!

    The folks at Qantas are just dodging blame like kid trying to pretend he didn't spill the milk. "The dog did it." "Um, er, the mouse did."

    it said WIRELESS mouse, which means it is RF (radio frequencey) based. What you think it talks to the computer over infra-red?

  25. You already know the best answer! on Email-only Providers? · · Score: 1

    get your own domain and point the MX records at Gmail for Domains! I did this for both mine and my wifes small businesses. Which means in practice one user per account. You get your own domain and a FREE managed mail service. The best of the both worlds.
