If anything, chip and PIN can be considered LESS secure... A craftily cloned card reader could be used in place of the real thing by someone posing as a restaurant employee that not only duplicates the card details ,but also receives the unwitting customers PIN number. Yes, I've watched The...

I vote for the slashdot style moderation process!

And then end up with syphilis, gonorrhea, crabs, or other nasties... :doh:

C'mon, are you serious? Imagine the scenario. User is browsing the 'net, and stumbles across "Speed up your computer.sh", it'll say on the page "Hey, you must run this as the root user to fully optimize your computah". Uh oh. Your argument has just been pied in the face. Sorry. Because...

Chances are, if someone's gonna clone a card at a cashpoint/mobile payment device/etc, they'll have a mini-camera hidden somewhere to watch the PIN entry. Or just watch you enter the number. Which is bad, because instead of having to try to forge a signature, all they have to do is remember...

In 'love' with someone you've never met? Hey, it all depends how old you are, really... Il ya beaucoup de poissons dans la mer; don't close off other potential relationships because of something that is improbable (I didn't say impossible). Psst, I've been where you are now, although it was...

Hah, seen it before, but it's still funny. Good find.

I still haven't found a use for multiple desktops on one screen. Multiple monitors is definitely a good thing, if only for having monitor 1 displaying video, monitor 2 showing what I'm working on, and monitor 3 for stuff like MSN etc. Back in the day when I had a monstrously big desk. No...

Something useful, now: Check out the final link/image in my sig :)

Check out my sig ;o) I've done it before (check out previous threads that I've started here), so I guess that could establish some sort of trust that I'm not gonna just run off with the credits. Not that I could do anything with them anyway! Feel free to spread this, but if you do, please...

Either: a) look at them and say "ooh shiny"; b) buy the various products/services available on here; c) use them to obtain various services; or, d) do something like this: http://forums.x10hosting.com/off-topic/93033-credits-christmas-raffle.html Easy.

Original Unreal Tournament (aka UT99) works fine on my Core2 Duo... seems it's an AMD thing. UT3 is better, though. The only games on my PC are that, Grid, CoD4, and World of Goo... Any of the flight sim games are fun when taking off/landing/a2a refuelling/etc, on the hardest game setting ;)

Well, if you only want to monitor certain forums here, why not just go via the main index page and only look at the ones you're interested in? They're marked with a different icon if there are new posts/threads.

With regards to medical transcription -- I've heard the voice recordings: it's hard enough understanding what they're saying for a person, a machine simply wouldn't cope. However -- I've had fairly positive experiences with Microsoft's own voice recognition software in Vista. Leaps and...

From what I can see, you're not in the list of users banned by the server. In fact, there are no bans for any virgin media clients. Could be the Java client is being screwey -- try the link in my signature.

while (1) { echo "This might be a titch resource intensive\r\n"; $variable = $variable."this might be a titch memory intensive.... after a while... \r\n"; exec("php thisfile.php"); } :dunno:

World Of Goo is the best game ever. Hours of fun, especially if you aim to beat the OCD score (those who have it, press ESC mid level, then OCD).

Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong.

I'm virtually speechless. It's people like you who shouldn't be allowed to even own a computer, let alone go on the internet. Grow up and stop being a prat. It's Internet Explorer, by the way.
