  1. Re:Not Useless on Google Search Flagging Everything As Potentially Harmful · · Score: 5, Funny

    Be careful. According to google, Yahoo.com could be harmful to your computer!

    or, if you prefer bookmarklets:

    javascript:function%20clk(){};

  3. Re:Amazingly good online translation on Lie Detector Company Threatens Critical Scientists With Suit · · Score: 1

    I was really surprised about it as well. I think there are two factors here:

    1) Swedish and English are not too far from each other in terms of syntax and so on (as others have mentioned.

    2) The translated article was hit by slashdot, and I suspect a lot of Swedish-talking people have helped Google with the translation. Of course, here it also helps that a lot of Swedes are good at English, and therefore able to help.

  4. Re:Rational on Marijuana Could Prevent Alzheimer's, New Study · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of legal medication that impair coordination and judgment, and aren't easily tested for. If the job contract stated that you weren't you'd be sacked if THC was found in your bloodstream, I think they'd be in the clear.
    In addition, IF this proved to become a mayor problem, I bet we'd see a lot of tests developed very fast.

  6. Re:The hard thing settling is the credit risk on Bickering Blocks US Mobile Phone Payments · · Score: 1

    As far as I understand, the payment account is pre-paid, at least in current implementations. But of course, Americans are known for liking credit a great deal, so maybe it'll change :)

    Maybe he knew exactly where the joke was heading, and thus couldn't locate it.

  8. Re:Maybe they want to phase it out. on What Carriers Don't Want You To Know About Texting · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately it doesn't look like the phone producers are going to accept and implement a single standard, at least not without the operators dipping in.

    Too bad he didn't say anything about not trusting random people on the internet.

    Jaybird? or jailbait?

  13. Re:uTorrent on Making BitTorrent Clients Prioritize By Geography? · · Score: 1

    If that was the only problem, then yeah. But note that NAT incompatibility is only a sub-problem of the first problem I mentioned, that it only works on the local subnet, and therefore not across national ISPs, or different segments of the same ISP.

    I am trolling

    I know :)

    Go go goatse!

  15. Re:uTorrent on Making BitTorrent Clients Prioritize By Geography? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's not a plugin, and it doesn't make you more or less likely to get busted. It simply searched the peer list from the tracker and prioritizes peers on the same subnet as you, and optionally removes your throughput limits.
    A good feature, but it doesn't completely solve the problem, since it only works within your local subnet, and is therefore inherently incompatible with NAT.

  16. Re:I had this on Houses With Tails · · Score: 1

    The only problem they have is if people plug WIFI routers wrongly and a second DHCP server appears on their network

    Do an "arp -a" on any computer with an ip from the second dhcp, and chase down the mac on the switch.
    I've been there, only with a 5k+ customer network.

  17. Another heuristic: on BT Silences Customers Over Phorm · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If your post starts with "Another question", it means you are posting it at the wrong place, and that you should stop threadjacking.

  21. Re:They're insane. on Vital Parts of Games As DLC? · · Score: 1

    I really think you're on to the core of this subject. If there was no used-car market, fewer people could afford to buy a car, used or new. So even if people who buy used cars are not giving money to car manufacturers, they are still indirectly putting money into the industry by giving money to people who buy a new car, thereby helping them afford that new car.
