Almost all decent forum scripts (thats what they essentially are, a collection of scripts interacting with a database format of some kind, usually SQL) and website login systems incorporate account lockout methods, usually where the account is locked for a set amount of time after say, 3 failed password attempts have…

@Homerjay is utterly alone.: If you have a steady hand, you can apply gaussian blur to area's of photos you want to have a DOF like effect, and honestly, it pretty much looks the same. This especially works well when working with RAW photos.

@addidis: You do realise that gold is a weaker metal than steel, and that its actually more likely to break when run over than a steel cable.

WTF? Why did sony take away Linux from the PS3, I don't understand the motive behind this.

It's probably because Google fixed quite a few exploits right before the competition, sort of gave it an unfair advantage, I'm not saying they shouldn't have fixed them, its just that anyone planning on trying some exploits on it now will have to start from scratch

@gerrrg: I think you missed the open source part for some of those apps. MS Security Essentials is not open source and neither is Macrium Reflect or Evernote

He had a year and a half old PC?! How I dread the thought! Imagine, keeping a pc for more than 6 months!

@Janglesatwest: lol, for some reason I always laugh when I see thank you mispelled as hank you.

hank you.

I love the idea of HTLM5 replacing flash, though at the moment, flash usually achieves higher frame rate in benchmarks than HTML5.

@Buster Friendly: I just didn't want to write a TL;DR comment, but if you want to know my reasons, then its because of the following reasons:

@Vondruke: Maybe, it didn't occur to me before reading it, but some of the larger scale things it did seemed rather too impressive. Small stuff like removing trees in the distance seems realistic, but removing an entire tree that go's up the side of the photo at close range seemed a little to perfect. I guess we'll…

This is cool, but I still prefer keeping all my music and videos in one folder, as it makes it easier when I want to open them in another player, as I really don't like iTunes, I only have it for my iPod. Plus it makes backing up infinitly easier.

@Buster Friendly: Windows Live Movie Maker has got to be the worst DVD creating app in existence, its actually worst than the Windows Movie Maker bundled with Windows XP.

@furquanatique: You do realise that the touchscreen is intended for more than just starting an app. Just because you don't swipe your finger to start an app doesn't mean there's no scenario in which an app may use such a motion.

While the concept sounds interesting, you should know that lowering your sleep time to 2-4 hours could have negative impacts on your mental health, due to the fact that REM sleep is important in the memory proccessing proccess that occurs during sleep. REM sleep can take a while for your body to reach, as the brain…

binaural beats are a placebo. there has been no evidence (from an authoritive source) that they do anything beyond simply making you sleepy because of the repetitive beats. Just an FYI

Um, why the hell are some vitamins essential for the human body, such as vitamin c and vitamin e listed below the "worth it" line? If you don't get vitamin c, you'll develup whats known as Scurvy, and will eventually die. There's a bunch of vitamins that are essential in order to actually continue living, or at least…

@Mike Cerm: YouTubes current implementation of Flash results in horrible quality video, compared to theora video of the same size.

@GetOutOfBox: Also, so few mobile devices are adopting flash, due to paternt issues, and the high system resource usage. If youtube used an OGG streaming method, it would be far easier and cheaper to implement support for it in mobile browsers, like the iPhone. Sure, you can view youtubes h.264 video using the Youtube…
