  1. Re:Strangely... on Self-Tuning Electric Guitar · · Score: 1

  3. Re:You have far worse problems... on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    IF your machine IS an HP or Compaq, then you can TRY that method, BUT, HP/Compaq require service centers do a FULL diagnostic of the machine for ANY warranty work - which presents a problem if the drive is not installed.

    This is total BS. I recently got my HP laptop repaired without sending the hard-drive with it. I also had the hinge broken and the screen would not stay vertical. I got it fixed by HP without any problems. You just need to let them know that it's a mechanical problem that has nothing to do with hard-drive, you need your hard-drive, and you do not have any other problem with the laptop that needs to be fixed.

  5. Network protocols are NOT secure on Do We Really Need a Security Industry? · · Score: 1, Informative

    The whole TCP/IP stack was NOT designed taking security under consideration. Therefore, we either need an external security mechenism (such as firewalls, IDSs, IT department, etc.), OR we need to design new secure network protocols and change every single node in The Internet. Now, obviously we can't change every single node in The Internet, can we?

  9. Got rid of mouse clicks by adding annoying menus on Ergonomic Software Eliminates Mouse Clicking · · Score: 1

    Now why the hell would I want to see a menu pop-up everytime I hover my mouse pointer over something?

    "For that brief second while you hover over a link, a small transparent window pops up and displays a list of common click commands. You can select a command simply by moving the cursor over that desired command..."

  10. 1 billion light years? on Astronomer Discovers the Most Distant Stars Ever Observed From Earth · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I think they are just pulling those numbers out of their behinds. Is there any solid evidence to prove it? I know they probably use parallax for measurement. But further away the star is from earth less apparent is the shift in position, which means lesser accuracy of determining the distance from earth.
