  1. You didn't read it. on Deja Linking Ads Within Usenet Posts? · · Score: 1

    If you go back and read it, it says that they are working on a way for people to over-ride it. It has not been implemented yet. Here is the quote: 'we are currently in the process of implementing an "x-no-productlinks: yes"'

  2. Re:I've only ever found two vehicles that fit me. on Ars Reviews Honda Insight · · Score: 1

    I had the best luck with 70's luxury cars (Buick LeSabre, Chevy Caprice Classic). I currently drive a 1985 Chevy 3/4 Ton Suburban with the V8-454. It is quick as shit and the milage is about 18MPG (If I don't hot-rod it too much). Despite being 6'8" I was able to drive a 1989 Buick Regal; it was a nice little ride and got pretty good milage.

  3. Yay! on Apple, Pixar And Disney To Merge? · · Score: 2

    Now we can see apples in more movies. Why are all computers in movies apples?

  4. Re:not so easy on Who Reads Your @nospam Mail? · · Score: 1

    You should be able to white list your mail lists so that they don't get routed to /dev/nul. I guess that it depends on your filtering set up. Psuedo-code might look like:
    if (From = mymaillist@list.com) copy to MailListFolder
    if (To OR Cc != me@mydomain.com) copy to /dev/nul

  5. Re:Maybe we can use this power for good.... on Who Reads Your @nospam Mail? · · Score: 1

    Here is a link to a page showing the biggest sources of spam. UUnet's abuse department does stop spam; the fact thet they have such a large dial-up pool (the largest?) adds to the appearance that they are spam tollerant. Putting UUnet addresses in your sig just makes you look like a jerk.

  6. Re:Send them to a useful place on Who Reads Your @nospam Mail? · · Score: 1

    Use the-dma.org for your fake addresses. That way the spam goes back to the spammers and those who think you should have to recieve spam.

  7. USA : Home Of The Shit-Brained Health Nazi on Happy Independence Day, Jose · · Score: 1
    Poultry in america is already reported to have a 10% increase in fecal contamination now that "irradiation" can be used to sterilize it -- after all, if a corporation can serve you sterile shit with your food, why not eat it, if it means higher profits through increased efficiency! Plus, that chicken can sit on the shelf at the market for weeks now, without expiring. yummy.

    That is why any one with a brain bigger that a RepubliKKKan will wash their food. Plus, who has 'reported' this increase? Some health nazis I would bet. They will do anything to scare people from meat.

    And that liberal clinton government. Holy shit! republikkkan and a health nazi? How the hell did you get created?

    They signed in a law so fruits and vegetables may be labeled "cold pasteurized" instead of "irradiated". After all, who would buy food labeled "irradiated" if the bin next to it says "organic"?

    I would (and do) as would (and do) millions of people. You sould like a organic farmer who is just pissed that no one wants to buy his bug and disease ridden food.

    What do you want to feed your baby?

    I would want to feed my baby something that was not disease ridden or infested with bugs. That organic food looks like it should be in the reject bin. Plus organic food has already been reported to be lased with LSD by some hippie organic farmers.

    Here's the real shit about freedom -- it's not maintaining the staus quo -- it's about working every day to end the reign of power structures that desperately want to control you mind and poison your body (salt, sugar and fat are the cheapest (and unhealthiest) ways to satisfy your body's cravings for nutrition) while picking your pocket:

    That was a nice try at scare tactics. Sadly (for you) most people are still going to eat meat. I bet that pisses you off. Why do health nazis feel a need to scare people into their lifestyle? What is wrong with me eating meat? Sugar? Salt? It is something that I enjoy. In the end we all die anyway.

    That is messed up. Funny, but messed up.

  9. sub-domain != domain on WIPO Settles 'Cybersquatting' Disputes · · Score: 1
    Why does the US have a domain for each state?

    The US has a sub-domain for every state. For example, Indiana has 'in.us', which is *not* a TLD. Please get your facts right before ranting about the 'evil' US.

    Have they released the source code for their engine yet? Or will they ever?

  11. Re:X-Box won't have zone restrictions on Microsoft Releases First X-Box Screens · · Score: 1
    The preceeding is a advertisement by Microsoft Public Relations

    Wrong. That was my opinion, not some MS advert. Are you *that* blinded by your hate for MS? I don't run ANY Microsoft software, but I would buy the X-box.

  12. Siggy does not have time for facts on Microsoft Releases First X-Box Screens · · Score: 1

    Please, dont confuse Siggy with facts. It is not possible for his hard-wired brain to consider that Microsoft might be able to do something well.

    You know you are a cowardly troll when you post as an AC, null-wit.

  14. X-Box won't have zone restrictions on Microsoft Releases First X-Box Screens · · Score: 2

    Unlike the PS2, the x-box won't have any region restrictions, unlike the PS2. I think region restrictions suck, so I am going to have to go with the PS2. There are lots of games that are only released to Japan that I want to play, but Sony denys me access to those games. I am going to put my money on a console that gives me what I want. That console is the X-box.

    All you would need is a big assed roll of duct tape and you could patch that hole in a jiffy. There is nothing that duct tape will not fix.

  17. Re:More confusion on What's New in Perl 5.6.0 · · Score: 1
    Yes, I've used Perl in the past - until I got so pissed off with @_, $|, =~ and other such fascinating constructs. The Perl motto, "There's more than one way to make incredibly hard to maintain code" shows itself every time you write a Perl script, and its use in a real-world environment is minimal - if it hadn't come out first no-one would bother to use it.

    I learned c/c++ before I tried to learn perl, and I had a hell of a time with it. I tried for about two weeks and gave up. It is a messed up language.

    As for PHP, well, does anyone use it? I've never seen any evidence for its use on the net.

    I have seen it used in production enviroments. I worked at a web shop that used it. I dunno how many places run is exclusively, but it does forms and other nifty web stuff pretty well; plus it works with *sql pretty well.

  18. Stop slagging UUnet on Spammers Hit Wireless Phones · · Score: 1

    Dunno about PSI, but SpewSpewNet has a reputation for spam-friendliness. Whatever. UUnet does not tolerate spammers. They cut off more spammers in a month than most ISP have normal customers. UUnet shuts off spammers as soon as they are found. What you fail to comprehend is that UUnet has numerous resellers of their POPs and a spammer can jump from reseller XYZ to reseller ABC to reseller MNO and they all come from '*.da.uu.net'. This make it look as if UUnet is letting a spammer stay on for a long period of time, but they get killed within a day in reality. Most anti-spammers refuse to see this and are more than happy to continue moaning that 'SpewSpewNet' is spam friendly.
