    What was that old saying, again? "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish?"

  2. Re:Use Open Office on Is Microsoft Office Adware? · · Score: 4, Funny

    REAL men use butterflies!

  3. Re:Power bricks on Hacking Asus EEE · · Score: 1

    On the plus side, the new power adaptors work with both the laptop and the dock. Still, I've got three of the old ones sitting around useless.

  4. Re:I remember when.... on The First 100 Dot Coms Ever Registered · · Score: 1

    and the sad part is how easy it is to fix. Just ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H a year of your life away!

  5. Re:Why give email addresses at all? on Colleges Outsourcing Email To MS Live, Google · · Score: 1

    For the @school.edu... no real reason other than that.
    And of course, it's easier to find who you're looking for just by knowing their name. Facebook kinda nulls that one, but still...

    Is that problem, by chance, a slug?

    Anti Fuck Digg.

  11. Re:College kids on Apple Now Selling Better Than One Laptop In Six · · Score: 1

    Don't tell us what resolution we want. Consider that the vast majority of high end 15.4" wides are sold with either a low res, WXGA, or WSXGA+. 1440 isn't enough to have two tasks side by side, 1650 is. I use tiling window managers, I would know.

  12. Re:Quick! on Have Spammers Overcome the CAPTCHA? · · Score: 1

    yup, that's the one! good article in wired, if any subscribers haven't read it yet.

  13. Re:Quick! on Have Spammers Overcome the CAPTCHA? · · Score: 1

    there's an article in this month (or last month) WIRED about using CAPCHAs and such. CAPCHA2 will have 2 words: the first one is a CAPCHA, and the second one is an unidentified word (scanned) from an ebook project (can't remember which one). It not only helps defeat bots, but helps with cataloging the world's books!

  14. Re:I've found keylogger cache files on City Almost Loses 450K to Keylogger · · Score: 1

    Snoopy76? That's the combination on my luggage!

    Dunno... I've seen some Ogg fans.

  16. Re:On my Samsung LG-series phone on What's the Worst Technical Feature You've Used? · · Score: 1

    Even worse, my old Samsung had a "recent calls" menu on the outside screen. No notification until your pocket starts saying "Hello?"
    I'm pretty glad that phone broke. My new one, an older Ericsson, turns on the backlight every time you press a key with the keylock on. Pointless.

  21. Re:What is needed is open or inexpensive books! on Real Open Source Applications for Education? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that's what you mean... quality control is the uniformity of the product in manufacture.
    If you're talking about the textbook writing quality, it's not half bad. Seriously, a good teacher should only be using it as a semi-reference, anyway.
