nothing beats plain english replacements, especially since 80%+ of spammers aren't from english speaking countries. Like bobATblah.com or bobREMOVETHIS@blah.com or my e-mail isbob@blah.com Any reasonably smart person would be able to detect those as fake typos or at least be able to decrypt them. If they can't figure out bobREMOVETHIS@blah.com then they'd probably send really dumb e-mails too so it's a great protection feature lol.
if his neighbor's house was unlocked does that mean he can just come in and sit down on his couch and watch his TV and eat his food? NO! Who cares if it was protected or not, you don't use your neighbor's connection cuz it's illegal. Still, his neighbor was an idiot for not blocking all MAC addresses but his own:P
I would absolutely die if they added a Phantasy Star title like 3 or 4 from sega genesis. That was the first RPG I ever played and it's still the best:P If you don't think so then...*throws a Sega Genesis console at you* They could use one massive title to get people really excited though like Sonic 3 or something. You know like Gametap with Splinter Cell.
the entire article doesn't mention once what NTP means. They hinted at it but I'm still not sure. I shouldn't even have to ask but what does NTP stand for?! And better yet, why does slashdot always post articles with acronyms without explaining what they mean once before turning them into an acronym? (a basic rule of english composition) Do they just assume everyone knows every tech acronym that exists?
why didn't someone ask if they test anything at all. How could so many features not work and cause it to crash completely so often if they did test it? Did they know about the problems and just release it anyway (and they call Microsoft bad) or did they just sit a monkey down at a keyboard to "thoroughly" test it?
well I guess I'll cancel my plans to move to the moon then...unless someone comes out with volcano insurance for it. There hasn't been one for a while but don't you think it's overdue for some then?
omg everyone go out and buy water, jerky, and biohazard suits cuz the world is gonna end when the shuttle flies around madly, crashing into building after building and bringing down the whole infrastructure of the world! This is gonna be Y2k007. That's right, Y2k but with 007 tacked on because that makes everything more intense!
they'd have to be REALLY careful how they deploy it because if they just started at one corner or side and worked their way over, that would make one giant area significantly colder and leave another gigantic area the same warm temperature, which as I hope you all learned in middle school, wold cause strong winds, tornados, hurricanes, floods, and other massive weather problems. It'd be kinda hard and rather ugly when we look up at the sky to have them deploy it in pieces in a progressively denser checkerboard pattern like 1, 1 sq mile shade in each 100 sq mile block then 2 then 3 etc and you'd have to keep moving the ones that are already up to make it balanced. Then there's the whole meteors hitting it thing...
:-O !!!!!!!!
With so many people making AWESOME halloween costumes I think I might just have to do so myself:D aww but Halloween is 364 days away:( well...I'm running a massive LAN party in 2 weeks and if I don't dress up, it'd just be wrong. Hmm but could I play Dance Dance Revolution as well with a mech?
have these people ever watched a sci-fi movie?! They're supposed to be smart or something and thus geeks;) I mean come on, aren't we supposed to learn from our past even if it never really happened and was just a storyline from a show? Stargate SG-1, hellooooo.
didn't you get the memo? The voting machines now get their say in elections too, lol. Looks like they picked Republican (cuz they sure aren't voting for the Green party!)
THAT IS AWESOME! But I think it'd only be fair to call him the winner if someone else made a costume of those similar looking thingies from the Matrix and they fought it out hehehehe
I thought for sure this would be about throwable controllers that you can send sailing across the room for regular games after losing a boss battle for the 100th time without breaking them. That would be a MUCH better invention! Hmm, I think I'll build it and call it the Rage Controller. Get it, it's like a double meaning lol;)
oh joy, they've just solved one of the worst problems in biological history. Now men won't get pregnant;) Hmm maybe it's not really the male version of "the pill" after all lol.
oh they definitely hit the nail on the tip on this one. I'm sure that the fact that they're a crappy company has nothing to do with it. Oh and of course, sales down for them must mean the gaming sector in general is weak. Why do people even print articles about companies like them saying stuff like that?
hmm, didn't happen to mention the "artists' way" in games is to charge waaaaaaay too much and waste time. In case U missed the earlier slashdot story, on average, 70% of any game's cost is for the skinning and backgrounds and other art and is the most drag-ass part of game development.
hmm...well you know who owns them after 10 years? Anyone who wants to:-P that's another fun loophole, though I think the timespan varies. But feel free to download 10+ year old movies that sucked because I doubt they bothered to re-file the copyright (which I think is supposedly illegal despite Mickey Mouse)
How about the cost of time waiting forever for Vista to do everything while it eats up resources uselessly. That's gotta cost businesses millions to have all their computers suddenly slow down to a crawl with Vista on them. Also, employees are slower on systems they've never used before so there's another time hit.
Slashdot Mirror
well then network away but you still can't use their internet connection any more than you can share their cable.

They better be careful cuz there's a lot of Reno 911 clips on there too and they might get confused :-P

I think I speak for all of us when I say I hope the person stops at AOL's HQ next.

the artist/producer of the song of video clip has to actually want to press charges too. Those MPAA and RIAA seem to ahve forgotten that little part.
I agree, I think they'd make a ton of money selling it on Ebay regardless of what the intended use of the buyer for it was :)
