  1. Re:contrived acronyms on Congress Sends Anti-Spam Bill To White House · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes. We must pass the "Funding Unintelligable and Congressional Keywords Against Collaborative, Resourcive, Onerous, Nefarious, Yellow, Meaningless, and Solutions" bill!

    Citizens of the US: We must make the "FUCK ACRONYMS" law a reality!

  2. Questions.... on Black Isle Studios Shuts Down Development · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is this going to delay Half-Life 2? How about Doom 3? Halo 2? GTA 4? GT4? Warcraft 4? The next M$ RTS? Then who gives a crap?

    As sad as I am to see another game maker go under, the fact of the matter is that the studios that stay alive are the studios that sell games. So what if a few thousand fans are pissed. I'm pissed that I don't get to watch "Undeclaired" any more - that doesn't mean it wasn't cancelled for a good reason.

    Enough fans buying a game == the studio makes more. Obviously BIS wasn't that great of a game maker.

    (PS - this is not a troll - just one gamer's opinion)

    This is a laught riot.

    It is also a fortunate fact that since Earthstation5 protects you from the RIAA lawsuits and hackers by hiding your ip address, the exploit program he wrote can only be used against your own computer, which he states in his exploit.

  11. Why online games suck on Restart, Restore, or Continue Creating Democracy? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Abstraction.

    Ever notice people in their cars waiting in line are a hell of a lot more rude than people *standing* in line? Same principle...when people feel abstracted from the rest of the people around them they tend to give in to whim and emotion to a greater degree.

    But that's not going to change. The only interesting question (which was not, interestingly enough, brought up by this article) is "Will the internet decay into a shithole completely devoid of personal accountability or will it slowly evolve into a place where people realize that everyone they're chatting with have feelings too"?

    I'm rooting for the latter, but it's too soon to tell.

    Yeah. That plan's not doomed to failure.

  18. Pine on Seven Spam Filters Compared · · Score: 1

    I use Pine when I'm at work (ssh into my box at home), but generally speaking, I use Outlook when I'm in winders or Moz when I'm booted into linux on my desktop.

    I suppose (as the other poster) mentioned, that I could turn on IMAP, but like I said before, it sure seems like a gigantic pain in the ass to do nothing more than filter out a few extra emails a day.

  19. Recommendations on Seven Spam Filters Compared · · Score: 1

    Anyone care to point out a decent way to use SA's bayesian filter with this setup:

    I have a linux box running as my web/mail server that has spamassassin on it for anyone who wants to use it (setup .forward and .procmailrc to do this). I'm currently deleting spam (score = 5)

    The problem is how to get spam and ham from Outlook back to the linux box correctly. To my knowledge, outlook doesn't export mail in any way that's readable by the sa-learn script. I'd like to setup a bayesian filter, but it seems like a lot of effort to get rid of the 4 or 5 spams that SA actually does let through each day.

  22. Ok. I'll bite... on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    I checked back at your past comments and I have to say either one of two things is going on here:

    1)This is your first attempt at trolling. That's ok, but you need to be signifigantly more subtle. Posting a comment calling me a fascist is a bit um...obvious. There's a great article in K5 about how to become an AST if you're into that sort of thing.

    2)You're a tree-hugging liberal. That's cool too. Slashdot is filled with 'em. But sooner or later you're going to have to cope with the fact that not everyone in the world listens to Tori Amos and cries at the pain of the Canadian Otter. Live a little.

  25. Re:The problem with OC.com on CPU Cooling with 15 Liters of Water · · Score: 1

    First off, if your CPU is running at 60C+ then you have a real problem. Not only are you risking killing your chip on an extremely short timeline, but you're risking taking other parts with it (this is a small risk, but it's a risk nevertheless). The temp specs AMD puts out are simply unrealistic and generally misinterpreted. They say that the core can run up to 90C but that's giving a functional extreme. What they mean is "your CPU can hit 90C before it physically kills itself and you have to buy a new chip and, possibly, a new board." Generally speaking, you'll experience at least some funkiness with your box if your chip is running over 60C (at least most every case I've ever seen). Of course, the stock hs/f combo you have is definitely cranking your temps up. My chip was running about 55-60C under no load w/ the retail box hardware.

    Lastly, my setup is a Asus A7V8X ($110) with an OC'ed Barton 2500@166/12 ($99), and I personally don't want to have to shell out another hundred bucks to replace my chip because of a crappy heatsink/fan combo.

    Alas, I guess you and I will just have to agree to disagree on what is too hot. I'll just hang out rubbing my greedy little hands together waiting for this to arrive ;-)

    Lemme know if you want a used Volcano 9 :-P
