    Why don't you try the screen reader, you will know very quickly. JAWS i think is very ubiquitous.

  2. Re:While I don't have any use for the program on Microsoft COFEE Leaked · · Score: 1

    Maybe this will be perfect for everybody's needs.

    maybe gmail should make a mail client.

  4. Re:It says: 256MB RAM... on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    DAMN small Linux around 50MB, a live boot gives you an awesome interface with systems stats (CPU, RAM utilization, Network speed etc.) on the desktop.I VirtualBox it if i need to see Linux.

    you forgot "Preview".

  6. Re:Looks full of fail on Dev Discusses Upcoming Spy-MMO, The Agency · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can we become a double-spy and leak intel to the bad guys? That would really create a storm in a tea cup!

    I was purely going for the price aspect and not the contractual.

    Mac is like a high maintenance mistress, Windows is like a pricey Girlfriend, Ubuntu is like a wife.

  10. Re:Dark Dungeons on Free-To-Play Switch Going Well For D&D Online · · Score: 1

    You seem pretty excited about what Satan can do with free gaming. Maybe nobody informed you about the free porn all over the net. Just like Quagmire from a recent Family Guy episode.

  11. Re:Overhyped on 10/GUI — an Interface For Multi-Touch Input · · Score: 1

    I think we should all drop touchscreen interface, voice activated interface and such as people with disabilities cannot use them. Rather, we should have a mind interface which will work based on what your thoughts are. Already some progress is being made. that way even a person without hands and legs, blind, deaf and dumb at the same time can use computers. All you need is a brain. pretty Utopic but just an idea.

  12. Re:Not for desktop pc's, but on 10/GUI — an Interface For Multi-Touch Input · · Score: 1

    The setup shown at the end of the Video shows a monitor and a keyboard with the trackpad. No mouse. I think the whole point of the interface is to replace the mouse. By starting with the mouse's two dimensional limitations, one would think the author wouldn't mention "Yeah, you can use the mouse too" [:)]

    I do agree that we can still use the mouse.

  13. Re:Not for desktop pc's, but on 10/GUI — an Interface For Multi-Touch Input · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I thought too. Taking it further, maybe the game developers can work with this Interface and design proper shooting and FPS movements. How exciting would that be?

  14. Re:Yet another misleading title on Yet Another Premature Declaration of Email's Death · · Score: 1

    Yeah, When I read the summary, i was thinking. well I get Twitter and Facebook invitations, updates, password resets and other such event notifications through email. Certainly, email is not dead, but growing.

    Email won't be dead while there still live people like Robert Mueller, almost falling for a Scam mail. Thus encouraging Spammers to keep their servers busy sending mails.

  15. Re:Seems a trifle disingenuous to me on Game Development On Android · · Score: 1

    Reading this popped a question into my mind.

    With all this PC entrenchment, why did Microsoft launch Xbox?

    Someone explain, Please.

  16. Re:Seems a trifle disingenuous to me on Game Development On Android · · Score: 1

    That is if they manage to supplant Symbian which right now has 3 times more market share than the iPhone and Android put together.

    Already, Nokia, the largest pusher of Symbian is looking to move into Linux (Maemo). Looks like Symbian will be dropped somewhere along the way.

    I can verify that I have seen about 5-6 ATM cards from the same bank, with different sets of numbers. :) . that's better than the three or four different PINs of UK bank

    very informative. mod this comment up.

    my bank uses a password (something I know) and a grid at the back of my ATM card (something I have) that has A through P alphabets and corresponding random two digit numbers. Every time I make an internet transaction, I am asked to input the numbers corresponding to three random alphabets displayed on screen.

  21. Re:Superstition on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. All the while they are talking about universe and anthropic nature, I believe you can substitute it with God. What I think is, if God/Universe/Nature did not want the Higgs Boson to be created by humans, there would not be a way to create it, no matter how hard we try. End of discussion.

    Rest all is conjecture.

    thus glancing up regularly and supervising to make sure nobody has goatse'd them.

    You wouldn't be able to prevent them being goatse'd, unless you have a premonition of reading goatse links hidden behind a spate of URL shortening services.

    You can only turn off the TV and console the poor kids.
