  1. Re:O'RLY on Memory Manufacturers Could be Cheating · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seeing as they send out a finished product that differs about 10% from the product being reviewed, I'd say it actually is a big deal.

    And I doubt that the products they send out differ as much as this.

  2. Re:Infinite recursion! on The Data Accountability and Trust Act (DATA) · · Score: 1

    No it won't...

    This is the one in question:
    DATA = Data Accountability and Trust Act

    This is what you're thinking of:
    GNU = GNU Is Not Unix = GNU Is Not Unix Is Not Unix.. etc...

    The "Data" in DATA is not an acronym..

  3. Re:No such thing as download, P2P is two-way! on More Music File-Sharing Lawsuits in Europe · · Score: 1

    Sure..

    Seeing as this is P2P, that'll work great once everyone start doing that!

  4. Re:What would foreigners lose? on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    ditto!

    and now all two foreigners has been accounted for.

  6. Re:Satan did it! on Evidence of the Missing Link Found? · · Score: 1

    Yup..

    Seeing that submitters name also is an acronym, this is very likly. Behold:

    HUADPE = Ha Dupe

  7. Re:So? on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 1

    LOL!

    This comment should be modded Insightful..

    Funniest comment in a long while though ;)

    Way to make us RTFA :P

    Lol..

    Nice comeback ;)

  11. Re:New here? Tell him about the Pool on the roof on Linux WebCam Software? · · Score: 1

    I take it this is your way of saying you never got to see hackers ;)

  12. Re:Something else up his sleeve? on Macworld to Bring Updates to Laptop Lines? · · Score: 1

    Well.. That would suck, seeing as they just changed their slogan to "Leap ahaed"...

  13. Nice name :D on AMUST eCondom for Internet Explorer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now... If they could only change the "run" to "wear", and "stop/exit/quit" to "throw away" my day is made! :D

    Also, make the package so that everyone feel totally embarrassed when buying it. Yeah, I know it's free, but they could at least make you hear a moaning sound when you click the download or something...

    All puns aside though. Does this really help. You can do a lot nasty stuff with a regular account as well, right? I think it is great though, that people try to make IE more secure, not only do the "use Firefox" solution (for the record I'm a Firefox user!). It's in everyones interest that as many browsers as possible is as secure as possible.

  14. Re:My 2 cents... on How Would You Design a Captcha for the Deaf-Blind? · · Score: 1

    Let's look at it this way.
    I probably register on far more sites online than the regular guy. Still I can't remember the last time I had to use captcha (maybe two or three times the last year).
    How many of the 23K do you think _regularly_ has to interpret one? Every single one, every single day?

    Now who's smoking?

  15. Re:A math question on How Would You Design a Captcha for the Deaf-Blind? · · Score: 1

    The problem with this is, it would take anyone (including me) about three minutes to write a parser for that.

    It has to be flawed, and it has to be dynamic.

  16. My 2 cents... on How Would You Design a Captcha for the Deaf-Blind? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sorry to say this, but this sounds like a extremely narrow question.

    For instance: What website with content for deaf-blind (_only_ text) would require registration to retrieve such information?
    Yeah, I know (from TFA) some blogs have captcha registration, but do they require registration?

    Anywho, my answer. Hire an assistant/interpreter. That would probably be much cheaper, and much easier.
    Either that, or I would send the authors of the web-site a e-mail, and if it's not a heavy traffic one, they could probably help you out, even though you can't read the captcha.

  17. Re:Kari? on The Mythbusters Answer Your Questions · · Score: 3, Informative

    Of course not!

    She's not on to be all sciency and exploring.
    She's on so that the nerds that find the experiments stupid has something to drool over.

  18. Hayabusa... on Journey Towards The Center of the Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well that was convenient. They can't make their stuff work in space exploring, so they're going for... well.. none-space exploring :P

  19. Eat your own dog food. on Google's Ten Golden Rules · · Score: 2, Funny

    From TFA: For example, one of the reasons for Gmail's success is that it was beta tested within the company for many months.

    Not only do they, as they said in this article, eat they own dog food, but they make us do it.

    Beta 1, Google Inc, Beta 2, The World!!
