  7. Re:4th on Whitehat Hacker Moxie Marlinspike's Laptop, Cellphones Seized · · Score: 1

    I've always thought about doing this with trade secrets. Imagine if some guy with the recipe for Coca-Cola on his computer was screened by the TSA or customs.

  8. Re:More Cores, More Power on 4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care? · · Score: 1

    Seriously though, if you like to game on your computer there is no such thing as too much power.

    Yeah, but some older games (e.g. Deus Ex, even the Steam version) tend to misbehave on multicore systems...

    set your processor affinity to use 1 core (task manager, then right click the game's process)

  9. Re:Next please! on Proximity Sensor Presents Latest iPhone 4 Issue · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not sure if its Honda, but there's a debate that 9-3 is safer if the air bag deploys: http://www.smartmotorist.com/driving-guideline/hands-on-the-steering-wheel.html

  19. Re:Just.. on OCZ's Brain Wave Interface Headband Reviewed · · Score: 1

    It's like when I play table tennis... I'm only good with my own paddle. But yeah, I definitely agree. I just got the OCZ Equalizer mouse, and I find myself playing with lower mouse sensitivity because that's what I'm used to...even though I could frag faster with more DPI.

  20. Re:Good luck on An Inside Look at the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    With an SSH server and Putty, I can tunnel and get by nearly any kind of firewall, as long as I have 1 port open.

    Well, in GTA IV, you kill a lawyer and right before he dies he says, "Guns don't kill people. Video games do."

  24. Is nytimes.com that well designed? on NYTimes.com Hand-Codes HTML & CSS · · Score: 1

    I feel that information is crammed, and that the fonts are unbearable.

    My opinion of nytimes.com before I read this article was that they were stuck on designing a newspaper and tried to make the website look like one. I always felt that it was a known fact that serifs are better for print and san-serifs are better for computer screens...and they're using serifs for the main text.
