  1. A: In the first place, Why? on Modded UX490 UMPC Shows Off Years of Community Development · · Score: 1

    Q: Did the chicken cross the road?

  2. Re:Xmarks, KeePass and Encrypted Zip combination on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    I usually think of passwords as passphrases now.

    I often use a combination of words, it could be composed of a constant special character, at least 3 numbers, a word that is relevant to the site or application, and a totally irrelevant word like a dog breed, anime characters, etc etc.

    I just shuffle a limited number of combinations and it usually turns out to be something like this:

  3. Re:So what... on Australian Student Balloon Rises 100,000 Feet, With a Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    And those MIT kids also managed to take better pictures unlike the overexposed earth taken at ISO 1600 FTFA

  4. Re:Linux games wiki on Linux Games For Non-Gamers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    You could also try the appsdb list of Wine. ~ http://appdb.winehq.org/ If you browse the list you can find freeware windows games that runs quite well. (the last one I tried and had fun was Battleships Forever)

  5. Re:it's all about the snowfall on Captain Bligh's Logbooks To Yield Climate Bounty · · Score: 1

    Bazinga!

  6. Re:What the ROM does on Gameboy Color Boot ROM Dumped After 10 Years · · Score: 4, Funny

  7. no peeking on A "Photon Machine Gun" For Quantum Computers · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's not going to be faster at everything.

    It's going to be faster at everything.

  8. Re:great news on Unambiguous Evidence of Water On the Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    You'd be thirsty alright, but that is no moon.

  9. Re:mutate goats to have no sense of taste on Alabama Wages War Against the Perfect Weed · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's like mutating your usual Ford and GM SUV to have more low-fuel indicator lights.

  10. Re:Sad on Using a Treadmill and Wiimotes To Run and Fly in Aion · · Score: 1

    ~At least there is no prior art.~

  11. Re:Hah! then... on E. Coli Can Be Used To Clean Up Nuclear Waste · · Score: 1

    Would you really want to?

  12. left an important detail... on Former Interplay Dev Talks "Disastrous" Old Star Trek Games · · Score: 1, Informative

    "Podcast" means an MP3 of people talking. That's all.

    that is it should be played with an iPod.

  13. Re:Stereotype much? on Spyware Prank Exposes Hospital Medical Records · · Score: 3, Funny

    Let this be a lesson to all the broken-hearted geeks out there.

    Geeks create and/or build their own keyloggers from code so we would be sure that the chances it would be detected are low and that we are the only ones who would see it.

    Also there is no such thing as a broken-hearted geek. Natalie Portman is still alive.

  14. Re:Gaming it for more sex on Happiness May Be Catching · · Score: 2, Funny
    FTFS -

    "The contagion effect is most noticeable when a tendency is passed from one person to another of the same sex â" friends of the opposite sex, including spouses, are not as influential."

    Not that I am suggesting anything other than we are on Slashdot.

  15. Re:Spotify on Spotify Retreats To Invite-Only In UK · · Score: 1

    I hope they have plans to launch it in Asia also. I'm more of a radio guy than an iPod one and Spotify seems to complement/fit my music needs nicely. Not everyone would like to horde mp3 files and I can't comprehend how one could fill GBs of space and manage it, much more listen to it. Unlimited 3G is also starting to boom here too and maybe these kinds of services will hasten it much like how online mmorpg's hastened DSL affordability and availability back then.

  16. Sorry I peeked on Australian Researchers Demo Random Access Quantum Optical Memory · · Score: 4, Funny

    It is not useful now..

  17. Re:ooh la la on Vast Malware Repository Dedicated To R&D · · Score: 3, Funny
  18. Re:not a fan on Monopoly Uses Google Maps To Go Live Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ah yes the memories, back then I usually topple / add buildings when nobody is looking but nowadays I would argue that since I own most of the commercial places, I am too big to fail so I would receive a bailout package.

  19. Re:Schools dont change on The Case For Mandatory Touch-Typing In High School · · Score: 2, Funny

    I touch type so much that the only things I write these days are my signature and various doodles.. Oh wait.. make that various doodles only...

  20. Re:Listen up camera manufacturers on Open Source Camera For Computational Photography · · Score: 2, Informative

    The size and weight difference between those mediocre Powershots and LX3 is almost negligible. LX3 is still pocketable. I could say that LX3 is a superb camera vs those mediocre Powershots. Powershot G10 would be the closest competitor during their launch last year but most agree that the G10 would be harder to pocket than an LX3.

    I own an LX3 and had seen/felt a G10. I bring my LX3 with me almost everyday. Could not say the same with the DSLR which rarely see office/street time.

  21. Re:Quick! on Airborne Boeing Laser Blasts Ground Target · · Score: 1

    Aha! The MythBusters may need to retest this again.

  22. Re:The beginning bit is probably tricky too on Making Babies In Space May Not Be Easy · · Score: 4, Funny

    at least no one will hear them scream...

  23. childish question on Making Babies In Space May Not Be Easy · · Score: 4, Funny

    If I put an egg into a blender, I'm pretty sure it'd have a hard time forming a chicken too.

    Why?

  24. Re:"Committed Suicide?" on EMC Co-Founder Commits Suicide · · Score: 1

    The only thing I'm opposed to was his method of "euthanasia".. Come on, firing a shotgun in the head, there are other methods that would work as well without inciting that much shock to whoever finds you lying on the floor.

  25. Re:Start small? on Fully Functional Bioengineered Tooth Grown In a Mouse · · Score: 4, Funny

    The tooth fairy could suck it up with her clearly outdated business model.
