  1. Re:Sqinting Works on Blurring Images Not So Secure · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Squinting your eyes also works.
    It really does. Some of the codes are so lightly blurred that they can be interpreted with only bare eyes.
  2. Re:My new year's resolution? on Resolutions for 2007? · · Score: 1

    800x480 (acquired a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet). Nice!

  3. Processing on HTML Encoded Captchas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Captcha is no longer an image and therefore not a resource they can download and process.

    Err...but the HTML captcha is a resource they can download and process.

  4. Re:USB to the rescue! on Managing Mail Between a Desktop and a Laptop? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or keep just the mail boxes on the flash drive in a format which both mail clients can understand.

  5. HTML not for content classification on The NSFW HTML Attribute · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't HTML just describe the layout of the page rather than classify its content?

  6. Re:Identifiers? on Robots to Crawl Under the City · · Score: 1

    How about "Don't Panic" in nice, friendly letters?

    With Comic Sans MS as font, naturally.

  7. Re:How is this different than... on Jailtime For Leeching Wireless? · · Score: 1

    It is different, because with WLAN you are contributing to the network by sending your own rays in.

  8. Re:Erm.. huh? on Optimizing Page Load Times · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately that is not true. Many "broadband" connections are definitely not insanely fast, and at least here in Finland the upload speeds of most connections are so pathetic that the problems mentioned in the article are very easily observed.

    Pathetic? Most Finns have something like a 1024k/512k connection. It's not that slow.

  9. Freedom of information on Mac OS X Cracked For PCs Again · · Score: 0, Troll

    He told Ars Technica in an interview that he did this because he believes in freedom of information

    Yeah, right... freedom of information...

  10. Re:The problem, as I see it.. on Depressed? Net-based Treatments Can Help · · Score: 1

    Depression is NOT the same as feeling a little sad or 'blue'.

    While you may have real depression, it doesn't change the fact that many who consider themselves "depressed", really are not.

  11. Re:Obligatory mirror on IE7 Toolbar Mayhem · · Score: 1

    Doesn't seem to help much since the images are linked from another site.

  12. Re:It works for me on Looking Back on Five Years of Windows XP · · Score: 1

    BitTorrent is my window to the world.

    :/

  13. Re:Drunken Sailors need more storage? on Modded DS Adds Hard Drive For Some Reason · · Score: 1

    This would look less lame if you wound define the acronym even once.

    Or just write it "Nintendo DS".

  14. Big deal, not on Major New Features in Debian Etch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even Sarge's installer is not hard to use. You don't have to do anything from scratch, you just answer questions. If you can't install the system with that, you probably couldn't use it either. There will be a lot to tweak after the installation anyway. Implementing a straightforward installed is probably not one of the biggest problems. It does not count as "major new features".

  15. Re:2000 called, they what their kernel back on Slackware 11.0 Almost Done · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it's still based on old technology.

  16. OpenThis, OpenThat... on OpenFrag - An Open Source FPS · · Score: 1

    Oh why must every another open source game project name begin with "Open".

  17. Re:Pesky users on Q&A with Firefox's Blake Ross · · Score: 1

    Some people use laptops and just put their machines in suspend. So Firefox does not get closed and the computer is not turned on.

  18. Re:Personal experience on Internet to Blame for Lack of Close Friends · · Score: 1

    Same here. Actually all of them are. I've been quite lonely and meeting local people IRL has been too tricky. Only problem now is that most of the people I know live in the Helsinki area so it always takes a 50km bus trip from here to join the meetings...
