  1. What a relief! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on FBI Shuts Down Major Scareware Gang

    So my computer isn't broadcasting an IP address after all.

  2. Re:Daredevil-ish...? by WWWWolf · · Score: 1 · on FirefoxFlicks Winners Announced
    Wouldn't it be far more daredevil-ish to use a browser that ISN'T Firefox???

    They said "daredevil", not "suicidal". Using IE is just like going mountain-climbing with a bit of packaging string from 1800s instead of a really good rope.

    If you use Firefox, you can go to all sorts of dangerous places and the only worry you have is that your computer is broadcasting it's IP address. While if you try to use IE to do these tricks, you die.

    Any questions?

    Your IP address is still readily available, no?

    Indeed. The flashing banner told me so.

    GIF criticism #1: PNGs are smaller.
    Refutation #1: It's distressingly easy to find web pages using 24-bit PNGs which contain fewer than 256 (or even 16) colors. What good is better compression if you don't do color reduction?

    GIF criticism #2: I have to pay patent royalties to use GIFs.
    Refutation #2: Not any more. The Unisys patent expired. Some believe IBM has a patent on the exact same technology (LZW). Unisys was asking for royalties -- is IBM?

    GIF criticism #3: PNG supports alpha transparency, GIF does not.
    Refutation #3: As simple as it is, too many web authors can't get GIF transparency right. What makes you think adding an alpha channel is going to help?

    GIF criticism #4: PNG is a replacement for GIF
    Refutation #4: GIFs can be animated, PNGs can not.

    GIF is gunk. Can we step into the 21st century yet?

    24-bit alpha transparent images in web pages are junk. Can we get some CONTENT yet?

  5. Uh oh by thebra · · Score: 5, Funny · on FTC Bars Popup Backdoor Ads

    My computer is broadcasting an IP address, but without ads how will I be able to stop this?

    So whereas you will get wireless nets that otherwise have no traffic at the moment, you won't get any that don't broadcast their SSID.

    ... The Hall of Broken Memories!

    Dedicated to cataloging all of the hideous and obscene fanfic and fanart that ruins all of our cherished nostalgic childhood memories.

    Powerpuff Girls, check. Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl, check. Rainbow Brite, check. Those are almost obvious. My Little Pony, perhaps less so.

    On the other hand, Mighty Mouse or Care Bears slashfic takes a certain je ne sais quoi to create; and Gummi Bears or Knight Rider slash indicates someone, somewhere, is operating from an entirely different playbook: but slash based on William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying? Or Whose Line Is It Anyway? Someone, somewhere, is just going down a long checklist, doing these one at a time; I just know it.

    On the other hand, the existence of The Chronicles of Narnia slash could only have been predicted by H. P. Lovecraft himself.

    And then he would have gone mad.
