  1. Keyboard Pattern on Child-Suitable Alternatives To Passwords? · · Score: 1

    My 10 year old has quite a nifty system - he uses keyboard patterns for passwords. I'm pretty sure if I asked him what his password was, he would need to type it on a keyboard.

    Just a thought.

  2. Re:Law School on Where Do All of the Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting you can do more for the world as a laywer?

    huh...

  3. Digital Camera? on Larger Flatbed Scanners? · · Score: 1

    Heck for that price, you could get a pretty nice digital camera. With a little fiddling, you could get a pretty nice scan I'm sure.

    Of course, OCR would be more challenging.

  4. Re:An interesting test on World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked · · Score: 1

    I agree with this being a big test, however, I think a reasonable approach to terrorism is mass retaliation. You can't reason with people that think this is a good thing.

  5. More money for Micro$oft on Linux to Get Windows Apps? · · Score: 2

    I actually had a MainSoft rep call me about this product of their's. I told her I wouldn't even consider using their product unless a Linux version was available. That was, until I asked a few more questions.

    The redistributable libs are *huge* (10 meg or so). I didn't even get into performance as the deciding factor was: they only license the technology from Microsoft. AND, get this, the royalities you pay are a *per seat* royality. The more you sell, the more MS makes. Can't beat that, eh? (NOT!)

It sounds like they did implement it The Right Way(tm), but they only license the technology from Microsoft. AND, get this, the royalities you pay are a *per seat* royality.
