  1. Nothing new on Hotmail & Yahoo Mail Using Secret Domain Blacklist · · Score: 1

    For years I've noticed that Yahoo email will bounce emails I try to send which contain certain URLs. Legit websites, no spam, no malware. Next year Ixquick.com/StartPage.com are supposed to offer StartMail.com as a webmail alternative. I am anxious to try it out.

  5. Assault indeed on Man Orders TV On Amazon, Gets Shipped Assault Rifle · · Score: 1

    Agenda is cranked way the hell up jeeez! Slight breech of etiquette, with the *triple dog dare* propaganda coming out of the rats' nest of DC.

  6. holy crap on US Is Finally Cleaning Up Agent Orange In Vietnam · · Score: 0

    clean up Agent Orange in Vietnam good...but you know Iraq & Afghanistan will be in line next, demanding cleanup & reparations for Depleted Uranium scattered all over their countries. Unkle Skam has printing presses churning out more $USD to throw around the world, that will fix the problems har har!

  7. Re:SoundTracker/NoiseTracker on Hip Hop Artists Developing Open Source Beat Making Software · · Score: 1

    Open ModPlug Tracker is opensource: http://openmpt.org/

  8. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Hip Hop Artists Developing Open Source Beat Making Software · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, drums beat you.

  9. Re:LMMS on Hip Hop Artists Developing Open Source Beat Making Software · · Score: 1

    LMMS is cool but will blow minds. Maybe a "Music for Dummies" type iPad app, with big fluffy teletubby buttons. Mother Goose can help, when they get stuck with their silly rhymes.

  10. keyboard & tray on Ask Slashdot: Ergonomic Office Environment? · · Score: 1

    I recommend a quality mechanical keyboard...this one is great: http://ergogeek.com/xarmor-u9-cherry-mx-brown-mechanical-keyboard.html also heavyduty steel keyboard/mouse tray to mount under your desk or countertop...looks kinda like this one, although I prefer the ones which come with a plank to set keyboard & mouse on, so ya can pivot plank at different angles too. http://www.keyboardtray.org/

  11. fortune cookie say on Microsoft Begins Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) Rollout · · Score: 2

    A rolling mango gathers no moss.

  12. Had Facebook existed in 1987... on Facebook Fixes Post Log-Out Cookie Behavior · · Score: 1

    Pizza the Hutt would have tracked Lone Starr using Pizza-face Book. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094012/

  13. Re:Magnetic memory for ssds? on Purdue Researchers Demonstrate Low-Power, Fast FeTRAM Memory · · Score: 1

    OHM my god, resistance is futile.

  14. ewaste "fee" on Apple Now Offering Free Recycling For PCs · · Score: 1

    what I want to know, why is it that in California, they charge an ewaste "fee" whenya buy new electronics? doesn't that you pre-pay to recycle the gadget you just bought? probably does not matter anyway, after the endless caravan of Chinese freighters unload at the docks of the Western world...cheaper to pay them to load up on old electronics to haul back...and literally dump them on the beaches of some 3rd world countries such as Bangladesh, let them worry about it right? as the heavy metals pollute their ground water, yay. cheers!

  15. Linux & watching streaming video on Blockbuster Trying To Woo Disgruntled Netflix Customers · · Score: 1

    I tried Netflix before...I was able to fake the browser User Agent & OS, then Netflix video successfully streamed...perhaps it'll work for Blockbuster or whatever too. I can not remember the Firefox addon I used, perhaps this one...use it until it displays Windows or MAC OS...maybe it'll still fool into streaming. https://code.google.com/p/randomuseragent/ cheers!

  16. Re:As long as Apt is left alone on Synaptic Dropped From Ubuntu 11.10 · · Score: 1

    try Linux Mint XFCE...you like commandline, rolling-release Linux distros are great. cool that Linux Mint steps away from Ubuntu Canonical and bases some distros on Debian instead. http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1725 cheers!

  17. Re:Mod summary up! on There Oughta Be a Standard: Laptop Power Supplies · · Score: 2

    hiya Albanach, no kidding! liekwise I had a really old hot waterpot that had a break-away magnetic powercord. it is like Apple is trying to patent a paperclip for use on things other than paper...or someone sayin."No way dude, you can't unbend a paperclip to use for unjamming a disc drive, that was my idea!" Apple already dominates a big piece of the pie, yet it is using schoolyard bully tactics...next they will claim the letter "i" and sue the poor muppets on Sesame Street! Apple thinks it invented the touchscreen, when it is actually really old technology...I'm never ever going to pay a premium to use a product of such a childish company. I will choose somethin such as Asus Transformer over Ipad2 any day. Apple, fuggem. cheers!

  18. people will gamble regardless on Online Poker Legalization Bill Coming Next Week · · Score: 1

    legalize it, tax it fools. some people bet the farm on all manner of Wallstreet investments, get into highly leveraged trading, foreign exchange, etc. likewise online poker should be legal, horse racing is, so why not sportsbetting? people do office pools regardless. anyway, if people wanted to use online casinos, who cares? joints like this honor state lottery numbers drawings. http://betslips.com/gameinfo_pick3.aspx http://5dimes.com/lr_payouts.html so someone wants to play pocket change online, big deal! people lose heaps more on bad Wallstreet gambles. cheers!

  19. bow before IBM on IBM Did Not Invent the Personal Computer · · Score: 1

    IBM was the Borg of the personal computer revolution, setting the stage for the PC clone wars as computer manufacturing skyrocketed. without IBM, no internet would have exploded information through our minds...and most people would not be able to afford a computer outside of Apple. cheers!

  20. URL Bar does not have to go. on Mozilla Labs: the URL Bar Has To Go · · Score: 1

    The whole point of Firefox is customization. Do not force whimsical changes. View, Toolbars, Customize, knock yourselves out. All I have is the Menu line with controls & URL Bar, and below the Tab line...illustrated by my funky example: http://crazynuts.hollosite.com/grfx/Firefox_Custom_Toolbars.png cheers!

  21. Re:And all for what? on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 1

    One of the biggest mistakes of the computer industry was to BORG monitors to conform with movie industry 16:9 instead of the pleasing 4:3 screen ratio. I wish there was a widescreen with resolution which worked out to ???? X 1280, so I could simply rotate the video for a nice full page display. cheers!

  22. DOJ on DOJ Seizes Online Poker Site Domains · · Score: 1

    A great big capital F-U to the a-holes "representing" us in the flusterclucked US government. Land of the free, home of the brave...meanwhile people I know in Asia, Europe, Canada have been laughing at Americans since 2006, partly because we were denied the right to gamble online. I am sick of the US government and their silly schoolyard babysitting rules...oh it is ok to bet the farm on Wallstreet, heavily leveraged trades on things such as foreign exchange currencies, and Unkle Skam pushed bad mortgages...but I can not bet a few bucks online in a friendly cardgame, pick3 lottery, etc. buncha a-holes are at the puppet-master strings. cheers!

  23. Oracle on OpenOffice.org To Be Given Back To the Community · · Score: 1

    Oracle should have immediately addressed the opensource community after taking over Sun/Java/Openoffice and all. Instead Oracle alienated, so a great big capital F-U Oracle! I use Gnumeric anyway, but it is fkn fantastic that LibreOffice rose from the ashes for those who need an office suite.

  24. Linux? where? on Bashing MS 'Like Kicking a Puppy,' Says Jim Zemlin · · Score: 1

    Linux on mobile phones is fake, Android is the Google Monster, not open especially with the god damn mobile providers in the mix. I had hopes for Intel+Nokia with MeeGo, damn shame Nokia kneeled to Microsoft. Microsoft & computer manufacturers dominate...worthless trialware nagscreens are almost as bad as salespeople in places such as BestBuy, where they try to up-sell you crap every 15feet, and their special extended warranty bullsheet.

  25. biased on eBook Sales Outpace Hardbacks · · Score: 1

    online retailers actively push ebooks, offering special sales to entice, so they do not have to muck around with shipping. also, I heard many ebook devices can be purchased pre-loaded with a default bundle of ebooks...whether the buyer really wants them all or not...and that bumps up the "ebooks sold" tally. ebooks are the future? man Hitler would have loved ebooks...Third Reich would have had it easy, Nazis would not have had to get off their butts to burn ebooks...an electro-magnetic pulse would have burned all ebooks, effortlessly. these days if there is ever an EMP, the masses will be left with hordes of religious books to flip through yay. all the good how-to stuff would be gone...better hope people actually know their skills enough to write all the knowledge down again...dunno if people in power would let knowledge trickle back down. ifya truly care about somethin, I say have a hardcopy. cheers!
