  1. Re:No. on Why AT&T Killed iPhone Google Voice · · Score: 1

    "Domestic calls and texting are free, and international calls to Europe are two cents a minute."

    There you go, why the fuck do we need an entire article on this when the summary has the answer.

  2. Re:Wow on How To Build a 100,000-Port Ethernet Switch · · Score: 1

    Not to mention a shitload of crossover cables to link the damm switches together.

  3. Re:Worst ask slashdot ever on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 1

    How about "127.0.0.1"?

    Wait till some dumbass drops an anchor on it.

    Don't steal it.

    How the fuck is it stealing?

    If copyright infringement was theft it would be treated as such, no shoplifter would ever get more than a written warning for their first offence. At most stealing a cd might get you a fine of a few hundred dollars. So explain to me the justification of destroying someone's life for a minor offence (that you claim it is).

  6. Re:Not exactly a surprise ... on DoJ Defends $1.92 Million RIAA Verdict · · Score: 1

    If I was on trial it would have been $1.2 billion dollars. So $1.92 million is quite light.

  7. Re:More uses... on US Tests System To Evade Foreign Web Censorship · · Score: 1

    I think the word "unfriendly" applies to the relationship between people and government.

  8. Re:Right... on US Tests System To Evade Foreign Web Censorship · · Score: 1

    Even if an oppressed person has the real address if there government also knows about the address it is trivial for them to poison the DNS so that email to something@whitehouse.gov goes somewhere else. Since they filter the internet they must monitor ALL traffic in and out of the country so simply blocking the domain would be even easier.

  9. Re:Right... on US Tests System To Evade Foreign Web Censorship · · Score: 1

    So the obvious way to maintain such secrecy is have it posted to slashdot.
    Brilliant...

    This is the government, are you at all surprised?

  12. Re:How Exactly Does This Fight Spam? on Yahoo Revives Pay-Per-Email, With Charitable Twist · · Score: 2, Insightful

    SSL is a flawed system that was built on pure greed.

    Why should I have to pay someone just so Firefox will not chase my users away.

    SSL is nothing more than extortion and it has stopped encryption from becoming standard.

  13. Re:How Exactly Does This Fight Spam? on Yahoo Revives Pay-Per-Email, With Charitable Twist · · Score: 1

    The idea is that a Centmail signature attached to a message would automatically reduce the message's spam likelihood; if enough people adopt Centmail, then receivers would be increasingly able to require a Centmail signature on mail, and killfile mail that lacks such a signature.
     

    That's a serious problem. Either pay yahoo or you can't send email, I really can't think of a quicker way to kill such a vital communications medium.

  14. Re:How Exactly Does This Fight Spam? on Yahoo Revives Pay-Per-Email, With Charitable Twist · · Score: 1

    It's just a quick money grab attempt by Yahoo.

  15. Re:There is no "might" about it on How Much Does a Reputation For Security Matter Anymore? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It isn't too different from doublethink (from the book, "1984").

    I would read it but it was deleted.

  16. Re:Sounds promising, but... on Why the UK Needs the Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    To successfully counter one extreme you need the extreme opposite, only then will you have "extreme" equilibrium.

    Also many humans are reaching higher levels of intelligence, while others remain more primitive.

    The human mind can be divided into two classes, anti-intelligent (Religious) and higher-intelligence (Atheist)

  23. Re:Too bad, niggers on Times Are Tough For Nigerian Scammers · · Score: 0, Troll

    I keep getting mod point's and I always mod trolls up, never down.

    The /. system is totally broken how often do you see an informative post modded down because some asshole happens to disagree?

    You forgot to include American funding to the third world, mainly Nigeria.

    Even if the camera was able to see a post-it note. You would need to know what that information pertained to and how to access it.
