  1. convinience vs. security on Lost Credit Data Improperly Kept, Company Admits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Let's face it, credit cards have never been save and will never be save!

    It's the price you have to pay for the convenience credit cards offer.

  2. Reliability and durability? on Kutaragi Confirms End to Blue-Ray Talks · · Score: 1

    The only thing that really interests me is how reliable and durable are they?

    Can I really trust them as a data storage medium or are they as lousy as CD-R and DVD+/-R?

    Will they destroy my precious data randomly like most CD-R and DVD+-R brands?

    Will there ever be a reliable mass data storage solution that is affordable for Joe Athlon?

  3. mini-itx on Building the WallTop · · Score: 2, Informative

    There has been a story about a similar project on slashdot more than two years ago.

    Here is the original article:

  4. Is Piracy the Pathway to Apple Profit? on Is Piracy the Pathway to Apple Profit? · · Score: 1

    An Apple OS for regular x86 boxen will only destroy their good reputation and hurt them big time.

  5. What about... on Microsoft Censoring Blogs on MSN China · · Score: 3, Informative

    The words 'freedom', 'democracy' and 'demonstration' are reportedly among the words being blocked.

    What about 'linux', 'google' and 'apple'?

  6. Re:Really? on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 1

    Guess it depends on what the actual movements are and if you are repeating the same movements over and over... but in that regard both QWERTY and Dvorak might be pretty bad...

    I also don't see why people don't use voice recognition more often... it can't be worse than the typing that is going on on IRC or most chat rooms / instant messengers...

    And another suggestion: Don't always use the same keyboard!

  7. Re:Yes, of course on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That of course is still far away from a scientific proof. It just more or less repeats what everybody knows, that Dvorak sounds like a good idea.

    But that isn't enough to convince me that is really is a good idea.

    Besides that, I think it might be a much better idea to not use QWERTY or Dvorak exclusively, but to use both from time to time, because that might be the best way to avoid health problems from typing.

  8. Re:Really? on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 1

    Never thought that typing slower might actually be better for your health?

  9. Re:Really? on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In my eyes that is no scientific proof but just simple advertising.

  10. The Lost Art of Class Balancing on The Lost Art of Class Balancing · · Score: 1

    There is no real solution for this in MMORPGs. Some classes/people will always suffer. It's just too complex and too close to real societies...

  11. Really? on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is there any scientifc proof that QWERTY or Dvorak have any advantages over each other?

    I don't think so.

  12. Save some money! on Testing Cheaper Printer Ink · · Score: 1

    The quality often wasn't as good as with the name-brand cartridges.

    'Often wasn't' is the key phrase here... often enough for me to go with low cost high quality no name products!

    ...besides that, printer quality often isn't anymore what it used to be.

  13. Nonsense on Another Dot-com Boom? · · Score: 1

    mini dot-com boom

    There is no such thing as a mini boom.

    Eiter it's gonna be a real boom (which I hardly doubt) or it isn't.

    CNN Money is reporting

    Seems to me like some asshats want to dump some stock... :P
