    ok... all those goes to show she's clueless about GOOD technology ;)

  2. 46% of women troubleshoot their own computers?? on Tech Replaces Diamonds As Girl's Best Friend · · Score: 1

    ... I guess the only females I know are part of that 54%!!

    I wonder if the women who claim to troubleshoot their own computers mean things like "it doesn't power on-- oh wait I forgot to press the power button!"

    Ok I don't mean to be sexist here, but this seems like a very very flawed study. I'm sure the message may be true- that women are better at technology now-- but by no means even close to what the study suggest. The sample must be flawed. Of all the women I know in a bunch of countries, hell- continents-- no way would I consider them to be even close in terms of technological know-how. It's not about lack of skill- it's more about lack of interest. Just as men couldn't care less about shoe shopping. (well, typically...)

  3. Re:PayPal Money Market on Investing Tips for College Students? · · Score: 1

    you'd get a better interest rate using any of the online savings accounts, hsbc, ing, emigrantdirect. they'd give you over 5%, have the option of cash rebate debit card, and you don't have to deal with scum like paypal who may end up blocking the funds in your account on a whim. don't trust paypal with your money... it's not even protected.

  5. Re:how?? on PayPal Security Flaw Allows Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    Yes, I read that. but for e.g. to have "cross site scripting" to hack into, say, /., you'd need access to modifying the files that are located physically on the ./ server, no? How else do you intercept data!

  6. how?? on PayPal Security Flaw Allows Identity Theft · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "by tricking users into accessing a URL hosted on the genuine PayPal web site" How are hackers injecting this code into a legitimate paypal website?? Don't you have to modify the source code on the paypal servers themselves?
