  1. Wait what? on Woman Gets Driver's License After 950 Tries · · Score: 1

    I don't understand how someone can even take a test that many times since 2005. Thats like 2 tests every 3 days.

  2. 1password on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you have a mac, definitely get 1password. It encrypts all of your passwords in a database that is accessed via 1 password that temporarily unlocks it. You can have it generate very long passwords on the fly too to make it very secure. It stores passwords from all websites that can be recalled during a session by pressing apple+\ but it locks after a period of time where it asks for the master password. You can also store secure notes, and keychains from applications.

  3. I feel your pain... on Apple/NVidia Driver Bug — Question Deleted · · Score: 1

    I love apple but they do this all the time. When I bought one of the rev A macbook pros and was running into problems with it overheating and the fans not turning on, they would remove all posts discussing that on their website. They are obnoxiously closed lipped when calling them directly as well, it is only engineers way up on the chain of command that have a clue what is going on and the steps that apple is taking to correct it. They wouldn't clue me in at all but out of nowhere one day there was a fix to download from their website. To answer your question, I'm sure they know and are trying to fix it but they are basically trying to cover it up until they have a fix for it. It's too bad really for those of us who are educated about computers because I wish they would just give us the truth about what they were doing. I would respect that a lot more than the way that they currently handle it. It probably stems from the level of secrecy they have to product releases that borders on psychotic...

  4. Re:Interesting concept, lacking functionality on A DIY Mid-Air Pointing Device · · Score: 1

    You are spinning the sock around, not the innards. In this case, the button will always be on the top.

  5. Paper is withdrawn on Another Millenium Problem May Have Been Solved · · Score: 1

    I was trying to find a copy of the paper on the preprint server and it now says that it has been withdrawn for serious errors. It's too bad.

  6. Wow is definitely something to brag about on MacWorld's iMac Core Duo Benchmarks Debunked? · · Score: 1

    After applying the intel patch so that it runs natively WOW actually runs at over 100 frames/second on the lower end model!

  7. that doesn't add up... on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 1

    Why would they want to cannibalize their nano sales by releasing a new type of ipod so soon? That isn't apple's style. I think what's more likely is that they will release powerbook and powermac updates as their last update before the intel macs (a double entendre of "One more thing...").
