  1. Motorola will make Linux to the top Embedded OS on Nokia Could Make Linux Top Embedded OS · · Score: 2, Informative
  2. Backstory? on Interex Closes Its Doors · · Score: 1

    Any backstory on what is going on here?

  3. Hoax? on Home Power Monitoring Hack · · Score: 1

    Maybe I was just burnt too hard on the Alek's Christmas Lights scam, but this description reads like a hoax to me.

  4. Re:Back from Japan recently... on Are There Any Real-Time GPS+Traffic Solutions? · · Score: 2

    Now just get something to project that onto the windshield like a heads-up display and you have something to write home about.

  5. MOD PARENT UP on Google Takes Top Spot From Time Warner · · Score: 1

    The author of the parent of this message is the only person in this thread who knows what she is talking about.

  6. Re:Contact the senator on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 1

    His form doesn't appear to support FireFox. Anyone have a real email address for him?

  7. Idea for use of AdSense Profits on Alek's Christmas Lights: Humbug · · Score: 1

    Donate them to someone who wants to actually pull off a legitimate version.

    This along with the fact that the Perl Advent Calendar hasn't been updated since Dec. 21 ruined my Internet Christmas.

  8. Re:Best mail virus scanner on Best Antivirus Options for a Mailserver? · · Score: 4, Funny

    While you are at it you might as well suggest converting it all to postal mail, and irridating it to prevent the spread of anthrax.

  9. Games and WMD on BBC Argues Games Don't Cause Violence · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the BBC is just misleading the public on this one too.

  10. I don't get it. on Errant E-Mail Shames RFID Backer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Where's the news?

  11. AL GORE + KYOTO PROTOCOL === SAVE THE MAG FIELD on Earth's Magnetic Field Weakens 10 Percent · · Score: 3, Funny

    If Americans had elected in Al Gore in '00, we'd have the Kyoto Protocol in place and mans affect on the magnetic field would have returned to 1988 levels!

    The Republicans are robbing us of our magnetic field!!!!!!!

  12. Re:windowsupdate.microsoft.com Breakins? on Gentoo rsync Server Compromised [updated] · · Score: 1

    And the winner!

  13. Re:windowsupdate.microsoft.com Breakins? on Gentoo rsync Server Compromised [updated] · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd like to see at least one credible report of a breakin at Windows Update. If someone can provide one you will forever earn my eternal respect.

  14. SpamCop paying $30K / year to fight DDoS attacks on Australia's Largest ISP Redefines Spam · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's been reported that SpamCop is paying upwards to $30K / year for bandwidth as a direct cause of the continous DDOS attacks on it.

    The spammers are doing everything they can to squeeze the anti-spammers out. They use frivolous lawsuits (aka Mark Felstein and his porn spamming backers) or DDOS attacks that either knock the anti-spam resources off completely or increase the costs so that no hobbyist can run them.

    And while all this is going on, the law enforcement agencies are doing nothing to counter the clearly illegal acts of the spammers.

    And ISPs are doing NOTHING to reduce the number of zombies on their networks. So the DDOS attacks continue.

    Nice going.

    It's only a matter of time when someone (Al Queda?) will use the zombie network for something that will truly be noticed.

    Proletariat of the world, unite to kill spammers

  15. Re:Wow! on 40th Mersenne Prime Found · · Score: 1

    You can claim to be using a console application and then tell us the number of pixels you use. What counts is the rows and columns.

    Get it straight leetboy.

  16. Re:Two years old! on BT's Predictions for the Future · · Score: 1

    What was that about people being dumb?

  17. Wasn't this posted years ago? on BT's Predictions for the Future · · Score: 1

    Way to predict the past!

  18. Ion drive is cool, but... on Ion Engine Propels Probe to Moon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sure the Ion drive is a really neat addition, but it's soooo slooooow. It's going to take them 15 MONTHS to get there! And the payload isn't really greater at all. It takes longer to get any large loads going. The US space program got people to the moon and back in what...2 weeks? It may be slightly more economical, but it just doesn't seem practical.
    Hopefully they can perfect the ion drive, however through this to increase the speed and payload capacity. Then we might have something really cool... (until the anti-matter reactor comes online...)

  19. Bleh. on FedScope v1.0 Released Today · · Score: 1

    This program is dumb.

  20. I claim this thread for uiuc.test! on Build Your Own Tesla Coil · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I claim this thread for uiuc.test!

  21. Will anyone implement this? on XHTML 2.0 Working Draft · · Score: 0, Troll

    So will anyone ever implement this? The browser wars have pretty much died down, and no one follows the standards anyway. New browsers are all about bloatware anymore.
