  1. Re:non-toxic? on TSA Says Screening Drinks Purchased Inside Airport Terminal Is Nothing New · · Score: 1

    How do you know they're former welfare recipients? Do you mean that they're African-American?

    So you instantly equate being on welfare with being brown?

    Why do you hate brown-skinned people so much?

    To the tune of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A.":

    I was born in America,
    Where I'm often told I'm free.
    And I voted for the pice of shit,
    Who told that lie to me.
    And I'll prick my finger,
    Next to you,
    At the all-you-can-eat buffet.
    I can't afford to move abroad;
    Trapped in the U.S.A.

    So is it o.k. for us to wait outside the airport, follow the TSA agents home, and then beat their heads in?

    I am just asking because TSA employment seems to be a lot of former welfare recipients, and in disposing of them we would actually be benefiting society as a whole.

  14. Re:My two cents... on Ask Slashdot: To AdBlock Or Not To AdBlock? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Adblock is good for blocking annoying site headers or site images and to block the remote advertisers that it comes with by default in the subscription.

    I rarely block ads that adblock doesn't catch (such as those hosted on the same server as the website) unless it is a cycle-stealing piece of shi^H^H^Hflash.

  16. Re:No no no! on Ask Slashdot: Using a Sandbox To Deal With Spambots? · · Score: 1

    And besides the spammer can log in through a proxy find out he's being censored, and just open another account through the proxy.

    I see this argument quite often. It is a false argument.

    A big problem on forums is the problem of multiple posts by the same completely automated spammer.

    It is like the bot runs using the same account/ip until the site returns an error code, and then it makes a new account or uses a new proxy or both

    The desirable effect of the hellban is to return no error code to fully automated spambots, thus cutting down on the amount of spam viewed by desirable patrons and search indexers.

    Of course the database size still grows due to spam accounts, but there is no reason that the hellbanned account cannot be set for deletion after a period of time.

    Simply because it is not the "be-all and end-all" of spam control doesn't mean it is useless, in fact hellbanning is quite effective in reducing visible spam.

    Was living in NW Florida around 10 or so years ago in a duplex apartment.

    The other apartment in the duplex got a window busted out and somebody stole a lot of collectibles and some electronics, including a fairly valuable comic book collection and a laptop computer.

    The police showed up, took a statement, and left. That's it. No pictures of the damage, no fingerprinting, nothing.
