  1. Re:Wait... on Class-Action Suit Filed Against Apple · · Score: 1
    ... especially considering that TellOnApple is even mentioned in the article.

    Armes runs the website www.tellonapple.org. He says his business had $20 million in sales in 2002 but that he has had to close all five of his stores.
  2. Re:Last Updated on Popcorn-Popper -> Coffee Roaster Mod · · Score: 1

    Updated 8/29/03, but the dates on the pictures are from 1998. Pretty darn old. (That keyboard doesn't even have Windows keys on it!)

    It is a bit of a disappointment, though. I'd like to know if this got developed further.

  3. Re:All things aside... on Popcorn-Popper -> Coffee Roaster Mod · · Score: 2, Funny

    Suppose some terrorist regime threatens to nuke us if we don't give them popcorn. The very fabric of our lives may well depend on whether or not we can efficiently make popcorn! /me imagines a RAID of popcorn poppers

  4. Re:Some Suggestions on What Makes a Good UI? · · Score: 1

    Nonsense. There are three mutually exclusive options: small caps, all caps, and neither. Cramming these into two checkboxes is illogical.

    True, it's certainly not the worst problem MS Word has, but adding one more widget would not be cumbersome or ridiculous at all.

    Bah, s/not looking/looking/.

  6. Re:Another way on Blockbuster Sued Over Late Fees Claim · · Score: 1

    Netflix offers a lot of movies.
    My local Blockbuster is fairly limited, so if I'm not looking for something that's not mainstream, or if it doesn't have at least 30% explosions and car chases, I'm out of luck.

  8. So? on More Holes Found in T-Mobile Website · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We can make the login page say "I like cheese" and cause server errors. Wee. These aren't holes so much as simple bugs, unless someone can point to a definite way to, say, log in as any user without a password, or get a list of account numbers, or something besides making the login form display some silly phrase.

    Another statement the article makes is that the text bug "could be used in a phishing attack on T-Mobile customers, especially if you hex encoded portions of the URL." How? Wouldn't any phishing attack involve making the form submit to some place besides the official website? Doing so much as trying to insert an HTML tag produces a server error (which, I'm guessing, is intentional), so it wouldn't even be possible to close the form and open a new one in its place that submits to a rogue site.

    Not is Else Everyone!

    I really don't get why some people get so bent out of shape about what country they live in.

    6. Report game glitches. Work with your child to identify exploitable glitches in the game or new methods of cheating. Report these to the game site administrator.

    Or... you "h4x0r" with your kids to "pwn" the "s3rv3r"?
  11. Re:88 mph on London Nuke Plant Loses 30 Kilos of Plutonium · · Score: 2, Informative

    Trouble is, even the tiniest changes might have profound effects, so theoretically you supporting Apple might through some Rube Goldberg-esque chain of events, be catastrophic.
