  1. Re:An interesting experiment... on 850K RegisterFly Domains Moved To GoDaddy · · Score: 1

    "Is godaddy a bunch of thieves?"
    "This domain has been parked free, courtesy of GoDaddy.com"
    No, they're not.

    I guess you didn't see all the ad links on those "free" parking pages. Example: http://xeroxmyass.com/

    Heinlein said it best - TANSTAAFL.

  2. Simpler solutions ... on The Real Impact of the Estonian Cyberattack · · Score: 1

    1. Just slashdot them, silly!
    2. Set up proxies to help employees of the government you want to bring down get past blocks to their personal MySpace pages.
    3. Move ThePirateBay there and watch their internal network melt.
    4. Send Celine Dion there as a good-will ambassador (ok, that's really an act of war ...)
    5. Have Dick Cheney invite their leaders out for a friendly weekend get-together and hunting trip.
    6. Offer international aid - through FEMA.
  3. Re:Stupid New Cars on Cell Phones Disable Keys for High-End Cars · · Score: 1
    Add to this the number of new cars that are coming with only a drivers-side exterior lock. If it gets frozen, jammed, or sticks, you can't just unlock the passenger door to get inside.

    If you're "lucky," you'll have a hatchback and be able to crawl in through the rear.

    If you're really unlucky, you'll be doing this while the kids are screaming, and you're wearing a skirt.

    Contrariwise, if you're really lucky, you'll be in the car behind, with your video-camera-equipped cellphone.

  5. Re:Get Your Priorities Straight on How the Pentagon Got Its Shape · · Score: 3, Interesting

    At the risk of being way off-topic, the truth is the best flame-bait. Different people have different versions of the truth - try talking sense to anyone who believes in "Intelligent Design". Or who thinks Iraq isn't another Viet-Nam. Or who thinks Windows is the only "legal" operating system.

    Next up - "what part of George's anatomy inspired the Washington Monument".

  7. Someone can't count ... on Will ISPs Spoil Online Video? · · Score: 5, Funny

    and restricts your download speed by up to 500 per cent...

    Bad math alert. An 80% restriction would be more like it. A 100% restriction would be a total cut-off. What would 500% be - take back the bits you already downloaded?

  8. Re:Click Through Rate on Millions of Addresses, Thousands of Sites, One Business · · Score: 1

    Its from the "87% of all statistics are made up" department.

    Same as this quote:

    Rather, 5 percent to 10 percent of people will simply type in a name that sounds as if it might suit their needs.

    More like 5% to 10% will do this once a month ... a far cry from 5% to 10% of web users.

  9. Re:but ... on A Million Zunes Sold · · Score: 1

    In other news, SCO anounces that they are entering the portable music market. They have a million units of their new player, labeled the "eZune", in stock, ready to ship.

  10. Re:But what happened to the... on MacGyver Physics · · Score: 1
    From stuff on anyone's shopping list? Wait until you see MY shopping list ...

    That's what you get for using dime-store equipment - not enough precision to tell you sh*t.

    Everyone "knows" real science takes lots of government funding. Now to write up a proposal (note to self: remember to include the code phrase "intelligent design" and some mumbo jumbo about crytpo-analysis and terrorism). Like I said, just wait until you see MY shopping list. And yes, we do so need those 72" udf monitors!

    Next they might try offering ... wait for it ... (decent) voice phone service.

    In a few years, we'll be saying "In Soviet Terra, Climate Opposes US".

    Look on the bright side - there'll be even more swamp land in Florida for hucksters to "timeshare" as "great view of the ocean".
