  1. Re:AutoRun was always broken on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 1

    Because 90% of them look like this?

    [autorun]
    OPEN=SETUP.EXE
    ICON=SETUP.EXE,0

    ;-)
    Seriously though, prompting to execute an unsigned setup.exe might weaken this particular line of attack.

  2. Off-Camera is Off-Guard on Life Recorder · · Score: 1

    Lee Evans made the more relevant Freeze Frame, also in 2004. I would recommend it; it's certainly the only movie I can think of in which the protagonist carries cameras at all times.

  3. Still in daily use... on 45-Year-Old Modem Used To Surf the Web · · Score: 1

    The corkscrew my grandfather brought home from the railways over 60 years ago. I can see it becoming obsolete sometime this century :(

  4. Re:Get this... on What's the Worst Technical Feature You've Used? · · Score: 1

    > Flatscreen TVs with grounded powerchords Tune it away from VH-1 and you'll be fine.

  5. Something with less customer contact? on Where to Go After a Lifetime in IT? · · Score: 1

    It's often the direct interaction with end-users / customers / punters that's most stressful. If you can keep away from that you may well avoid the mistake of changing to an equally tough environment for less money.

  6. Re:Cheap audiophile gear. on Alternative Uses and Interesting Mods for a PS1? · · Score: 1

    The T-Amp is amazing for the money but for some reason all its reviewers are overly impressed with its quality. It's still a cheap amp, and it sounds like one.

  7. Cooling is all about the case on Building an Energy Efficient, Always-On PC? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you didn't manage your own expectations very well. Lacking the time or inclination to design a passively-cooled Nehemiah system, I bought one (See http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=606&pag e=3). It's an elegant, silent and reliable living-room PC.

  8. nanometers side-by-side on Nanotech Trojan Horse That Kills Cancer · · Score: 1

    [ ... ] it would take 100,000 nanometers lined up side-by-side to equal the diameter of a human hair.

    Still having trouble with this illustration - are they standing on end or lying down?
