  1. Re:not gonna work on Identify and Verify Users Based on How They Type · · Score: 1

    Recently I cut my left index finger with a linoleum cutter. This severely changed my typing patterns; I had to learn how to type without that finger. Now it's all better, but I wouldn't have been able to log in for a month if this was configured on my computer.

    I think the reason accelerated video drivers that work for all major cards doesn't happen is more for legal reasons than difficulty. How hard is it to have an nvidia package, an ati package, and all the other drivers that normally come with X?

  16. Re:That math makes no sense to me. Help me out. on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1

    "I think it's more correct to say that the space between the objects expands such that it appears that the objects are moving away from eachother at half the speed of light. You can't really say that "space is expanding at speed X", because determining motion requires that you have objects whose motion you can measure with respect to one another, which isn't the case with a vacuum." How come when I say that I get a 1 and when you say it you get a 5? I'm confused.

  17. Re:That math makes no sense to me. Help me out. on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1

    If two objects moved away from each other at half the speed of light, the space in between them would be increasing at the speed of light, correct?

    Windows computers getting slower and slower is probably Windows' fault. Personally, I think it's Microsoft's fault (partially) for making such a vulnerable system. There's always going to be malicious hackers.
