  2. Re:They have it all wrong on Verizon To Charge Content Providers $.03 Per SMS · · Score: 1

    I agree with this as well.
    When I got my cellphone, it must have been a recycled number from someone that subscribed to a lot of spam.
    I'd get a chain of 5-7 spam messages at once for $0.10 a pop. With a monthly bill of $5 of spam messages, I had enough. I called Cingular and told them to remove the charges and just disable text messages from my phone.

    I'm not going to pay to receive spam.

    At least Japan has this right and let's you receive SMS for free as well as the first part of emails for free (you have to pay for big emails).

  3. Spam on Internet Filtering Lobby Forms · · Score: 1

    Well, they aren't doing a good job against spam. So including illegal file-traffic doesn't bug me much. Can I get a definition of 'net pollution' though? Is that this 'cloud' that everyone is talking about? :)

  4. Re:If I tell you how to hack the DC transit system on Massachusetts Sues to Halt Defcon Subway Hacking Talk · · Score: 1

    That isn't a great workaround. You could use nearby stations instead and save some money. Japan had this happen decades ago, so they actually log the time in and out and if it is too high (maybe a bit more than the time it takes to go from one end to the other, which on some lines isn't very great), then it won't let you out of the wicket. Then you have to have the person at the gate let you out unless they think you are frauding them. This definitely stops someone from doing it on their daily commute.

  5. Re:Sonoma State security class on Students Learn To Write Viruses · · Score: 1

    I went to Sonoma State. Ledin is an excellent (although easy grade-wise) teacher. Too bad he didn't offer (at least from looking at the course description) this course when I was there. Local tech companies blacklisting the students? Would that be local as in north-bay? Those companies aren't even worth applying to.

  6. Re:for a group who makes so much fun of psychology on GPS Tracking Device Beats Radar Gun in Court · · Score: 1

    Sorry but I've seen that where people hadn't been drinking. They just weren't paying attention to the traffic. Reasons vary, whether it be alcohol, sleep deprivation, a cellphone, a passenger they are talking to, a noisy child/baby in the back. People need to pay attention or not drive.

  7. Re:Complex systems, simple workaround on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 1

    Japanese sells all of those except for guns. They also sell girl's panties, which has been used. It is all convenience, so you don't have to have shops operated 24x7 along rarely driven roads, but you can just plop a bunch of vending machines on them.

  8. Re:What needs to change on Drop-Catching Domains Is Big Business · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My registrar automatically put my on the 'auto-renewal' and refused to take me off of it. I had cancelled my account with them and they were still trying to charge me for their 'auto-renewal' of my domain. That is the last time I pick a registrar because it is cheap.
