  1. Re:Precious Snowflakes on Narcissistic College Graduates In the Workplace? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yes you might be improving your skills at programming faster than the other students as you put more time and effort into this. But they might be putting more time and effort into social skills... getting laid isn't as simple as in-out-in-out.... these other people are perfecting their in-out skills so that when your struggling to keep a girl happy their thinking more about what to do with the money they have. Yes they might be medioka at programming but it's more than likely your medioka at "social skills", if you get my drift....

    Just to make you feel good about all the money you spent on that laptop.

    2.2GHz C2D, 2Gb Ram, Naff 160Gb Sata = 9 secs to load oopenoffice after boot.

    Most people here would rather wait the extra 6seconds and use it to chink all that saved cash in their pocket!

    Sadly if you were part of the police they'd expect you to take some kind of fitness test. The problem is the majority of geeks only have decent muscles in their fingers and right hand (from the mouse of course).

    FYI - Lots of new windows mobile phones made by HTC come with opera mobile (as well as the inbuilt IE). I've just got a HTC Touch Pro and opera on it works like a dream. (sadly, not sure if it would ever compete with the misleading apple ads we've all seen lately)

  11. Re:Please RTFA on Stretching Before Exercising Weakens Muscles · · Score: 1

    Agreed, Static stretching increases flexibility
    Dynamic stretching warms the body up for exercise.
    A proper warm up is about getting the body ready for exercise at 100% of load without causing an injury.
    Even if dynamic stretching caused a decrease in strength i would still do it, i'd much rather be weaker than injured.

    nobaloney, you are an idiot! If you wanted to make a bit of cash from this deal you should have set up a temp holding page on your domain and then posted the name of the domain in your AskSlashdot question. You'll then get loads of hits and before you know it your domain looks like it's worth more to potential buyers.

  16. Re:It's still retarded security on Changing Customers Password Without Consent · · Score: 1

    are you a jerk or what?
    The monkey in the call center gets given 2 characters from the password as well as the location of those 2 characters within the password. e.g. **NK**, they then ask the customer for the 3rd and 4th characters.
    The customer then tells them.

    Other variations of this password are as follows *A***R and W***E*
    Given enough characters of the password as well as their place within the password it is possible to re-assemble the password. Any guesses what it might be?

    Lets just say your camera is capable of 10MP, and that an average photo is 3MB(jpeg). Then 3MB x 60(secs) x 60(minutes) = 10800MB per hour I hope your camera can keep up with the write rate (plus the fact that your expecting it to always be in focus for the 3,600 photo's you've just taken).
