  1. Re:Blocking Banner Ads on Adobe PDF Exploits In the Wild · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have also unblocked ads for /., but it's kinda pointless because I won't allow doubleclick through NoScript. Why do we need animated ads?

  2. Re:Got one phishing email attachment w/PDF on Adobe PDF Exploits In the Wild · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the inconvenience. We have fixed it now. The new method also requires your email address, SSN, and your ebay/payal IDs and passwords.

    And IE isn't already in this category?

  4. Re:There shouldn't be any profit involved on WV Assessor Sues to Keep Tax Maps Off the Internet · · Score: 1

    Better is a matter of opinion (especially your opinion of the near future). Certainly cheaper, though.

  8. *sigh* on College Funding Bill Passes House, P2P Provision Intact · · Score: 1

    Cue rants about corruption, stupid politicians, the MAFIAA, etc.

  9. Re:Wayback machine.... on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    Also amusing is the fact that in the comments people are speculating on when the 3.0 kernel would be released.

  10. Re:Comcast access stinks (to be blunt) on Comcast's New Terms of Service Disclose Traffic Management · · Score: 1

    Well, don't go with Clearwire. They throttled my connection so far back after I torrented that I was lucky to get 10Kbps (and I was usually at 5-6Kbps) for at least a week.

  11. Re:Missing tag. on Birds Give a Lesson to Plane Designers · · Score: 4, Informative

    ***Warning: Hearsay below***

    Apparently once upon a time all articles submitted by Roland linked to his blog which linked to the real article (as a way to generate ad revenue, I think). And he continues to take flak for it to this day.
    Like I said, this is second-hand from earlier discussions. I was not here when it was happening.

    I think the 'Free Market' concept assumes competent/informed consumers.

  15. And just how... on Install Copyright Filters on PCs, Says RIAA Boss · · Score: 1

    ...do they intend to force people to install it? Something like InterActual has with DVDs?

  16. Wait... on Install Copyright Filters on PCs, Says RIAA Boss · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does this mean that copyrighted Microsoft software won't run (assuming hardware-based encryption)?

    What happens when you access a web page hosted on your own box?

  18. Re:Can we make deer glow in the dark, please? on See-Through Fish Help Cancer Research · · Score: 1

    Making animals glow is in the realm of genetic engineering. This is just clever crossbreeding.

    But then you could have a significant number of people attacking the Vista and Mac boxes (say, 20% each) and the other 60% would be split up among (maybe) 4+ Linux boxes.

    I'd say that allowing updates to be installed would be fair.
