  1. Re:Easy way to block most spam. on Fighting The Spammers Down Under · · Score: 1

    I'm getting more and more replies from abuse departments written in HTML. :-/

  2. Funny ... on Americans And Chinese Internet Censorship · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ... seeing anti censorship articles on Slashdot.

    And by the way: how long do I have to wait until getting back moderation rights?

  3. Re:Obligatory X-Men Quote! on What happens When You Cook Your Palm Pilot · · Score: 1

    There are two quotes from X-Men everyone remembers. And both are from Joss Whedon.

    funny

  4. Re:important to support giFTproject on Security Hole in Morpheus · · Score: 1

    These are completely different worlds. Morpheus is a windows program and giFT doesn't even mention the supported platforms on it's download page.

  5. Re:Oh man... on Borland C++ For Linux · · Score: 1

    Hmm. The last Borland product I used was Turbo Pascal for CP/M. Running on an Apple IIe.

  6. Fix the open relays on Korea Replacing 120,000 Windows with Linux · · Score: 1

    I hope now they have the right software to fix the open relays. We don't need no further spam from Korea.

  7. Sure, I'd buy an Apple PDA on Apple PDA? · · Score: 1

    ... and a few months later Steve Jobs will decide to drop it.

    No way.

  8. No GMT. It's UTC. And still no ISO 8601 on Farewell, 11111010001 · · Score: 1

    You mean UTC, not GMT.

    And by the way: I'd like to select ISO 8601 for displaying the date. Which was possible in the old version of slashcode.

  9. I predict ... on 10 Linux Predictions For 2002 · · Score: 1

    kernel 2.4.18

  10. Re:why gnome on GNOME 2.0 Developer Platform Beta · · Score: 1
    Funny, because competition between GNOME and KDE is *EXACTLY* what has made both GNOME and KDE mature so much.

    Do KDE-developers really think GNOME is competing with them?

  11. Re:What's this guy on? on Damian Conway On Programming, Perl And More · · Score: 1
    Nothing's so worse it can't get worser.

    Except my English.

  12. Re:This has been asked before, but... on Big Berlin Blinkenlichten · · Score: 1

    It's a free country.

  13. Re:talk about passe on Germany Wants To Put Time Limits On Porn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Can't see why this post is funny.

  14. Look, Mom! No MS-DOS! on MS DOS: A Eulogy · · Score: 1

    C64 -> Amiga -> Linux

  15. Yet another super media on Mega-DVDs -- 100GB Apiece · · Score: 1

    And it will never be available.

  16. DB admins? on MySQL 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Why should a DB admin be interested in MySQL?

  17. Re:FreshMeat on 2.4.9 Kernel Released · · Score: 1
    When a kernel is released, I want to know about it. and who in their right mind looks at freshmeat every fucking day?

    When you have problems with a current kernel you look at any resource which can help you.
    If there's no problem with your kernel you don't need to upgrade.

  18. Re:Strict languages vs. hacked languages on Programming in the Ruby Language · · Score: 1
    For example, where Ruby has a * operator for strings and perl has the x operator which does essentially the same, PHP (also a very string oriented language) uses str_repeat().

    * after a string isn't an operator in Ruby. It's a method of the class String.

  19. Re:word math on Programming in the Ruby Language · · Score: 1
    (0..20).each do |x|
    print x + "\n"
    end

    It's even easier. The numbers in Ruby are all objects with interesting iterator methods.

    0.upto(20) {|x| puts x}

  20. Re:so many choices on Programming in the Ruby Language · · Score: 1
    There just aren't enough hours in the day for me to learn all of these languages.

    Ruby is different. It's really easy to learn when you know other languages.

    I have to cite the paperback of "Programming Ruby": Guided by the Principle of Least Surprise, Ruby embodies the values of consistency and simplicity of expression

  21. Re:word math on Programming in the Ruby Language · · Score: 1
    OK, say you want 10 dashes. You can write it the hard way.

    10.times { print '-' }

    or the ease way

    print '-' * 10

  22. Re:IRC doesn't need security.. on Secure IRC? · · Score: 1
    The IRC protocol is a badly designed protocol. Permitting DCC connections is a security risk to your computer or network, because DCC is even stupider than active ftp.

    That's why I use SAFT instead.

    SAFT/sendfile

  23. Who cares? on An Amiga Round-up · · Score: 1

    I've given up waiting in the year 1995. And I'm glad about it.

  24. Agenda VR3 is no 16M/16M machine on Linux PDAs in the Field · · Score: 1
    It's currently sold as a machine with 16 MiB flash and 8 MiB RAM.

    At least in Germany.

  25. Re:We never know... on Last Month for Free MAPS · · Score: 1
    Of course you will not see the effect that MAPS and other anti-spam services.

    But you can see the differences between the services.

    After ORBS closed we switched to RBL and all the SPAM got through. RBL simply has no effect.
