  1. Sloppy programming on Ants Invade iBook · · Score: 0, Troll

    If they did their programming better, they would not have such a problem with bugs.

  2. According to Microsoft.... on Film Gimp · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, if the GNU license is as viral as microsoft claims, all movies are now public domain.

  3. Yes she would on The Economics of Spam · · Score: 4, Funny
    1. People come in, see her naked.
    2. People pay her to put her clothes on.

    Money made.

    But, being a spammer, she may have someone strip their cars while the door is bolted to keep them inside.

  4. How do you know? on EFF, Gator Against Other Pop-ups? · · Score: 2
    How do you know it is an offending site until you get there?


    Even so, what about a site that only lets you view the website while running WindowsXP and Windows Explorer? Is that ok with you?

  5. the addition of software. on Uncap Your Modem, Get Visit From the FBI · · Score: 2
    The lawyer may be talking of the addition of software to the computer. That they added unauthorized software to their computer which uncapped the modem.

    The next step would be sending in the FBI when you run any software that the cable provider does not approve of.

  6. They want public participation on ICANN Ditches Public Participation · · Score: 5, Insightful
    They want public participation only as long as the public blindly follows what the board wants to do and not question their edicts.

    If ICANN had any interest in real public participation, then we would never had heard of Karl Auerbach as he would not have to file a lawsuit against ICANN to see the books.

  7. Maybe why on Spammer Bows to Lawsuit · · Score: 2
    Maybe Ralsky surrendered when Verizon went to sieze Ralsky's assetts. A while back, Ralsky was quoted, in an interview, that he may move to China to avoid a judgment.


    I forwarded a link to Verizon's attorney so that they may get an order to sieze the assets.


    I don't know if he did get the injunction, but the attorney was appreciative for the link.

  8. There was a case on Why Isn't SPAM Regulated Like Fax? · · Score: 2
    There was a 3rd Circuit case that argued jurisdiction on the TCPA, but....


    in a footnote it said that it was a SPAM not a fax. The court ignored that issue. There are no cases that an appeals court ruled that the TCPA does not apply to SPAM.

  9. Thought it was illegal. on Another J2EE vs .NET Performance Comparison · · Score: 3, Flamebait

    I thought that this type of benchmark was breaching the EULA from Microsoft. But, after reading the report I found it to be legal. Since the benchmarks put .NET into a good light, then it is ok. If the benchmark put .NET in a bad light, then the benchmark is not allowed.

  10. No suprise. on ICANN Eliminates Karl Auerbach's Seat · · Score: 5, Interesting
    In the last year it seems as though ICANN wants to have their own kingdom with no oversight or critism.


    Karl being on the board was a black eye for them as he kept trying to reform them and trying to assert the rights of the public and make them accountable. The last straw was Karl successfully suing them.


    They had to get rid of Karl and in one stroke, they got rid of Karl and the public input via the other elected members.

  11. Backwards! on Raising Barriers to Entry into the Music Business · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They are doing their best to quash competition and to raise the barrier to entry. Stopping piracy is a false mantra and only an afterthought.

  12. what is right on Google sued as PetsWarehouse Lawsuit Continues. · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Usually it is the large corporation trying to silence little people.


    Novak is a pathetic moron. If he comes after me, I will drop him like a bad habit. He already read the mention of him on my site.


    Part of the problem is that the people did settle instead of filing a motion to dismiss or a summary judgment motion. I can understand why they would settle for a nuisance amount. If a motion for summary judgment had been done, the case would have been kicked.

  13. Spammers may use this to hide on No More WHOIS scams? · · Score: 3, Informative
    Spammers and other scam artists can use this to hide from people, but GoDaddy has a strong anti-SPAM policy:
    Go Daddy also may in its sole discretion and without liability to you delete the registration of any domain name during the first thirty (30) days after registration has taken place. Go Daddy may also cancel the registration of a domain name, after thirty (30) days, if that name is being used in association with spam

  14. Correction on Fighting the Nigerian Money Scam · · Score: 1
    Maybe every spammer should have a bathtub with their name on it.


    According to the Code of Hammurabi spammers should have their hands cut off.

    Spamming is theft!

  15. Bathub for every spammer on Fighting the Nigerian Money Scam · · Score: 1
    Maybe every spammer should have a bathtub with their name on it.


    According to spammers should have their hands cut off.

    Spamming is theft!

  16. Pesi sucks but... on Drink Pepsi, Go to Space? · · Score: 2
    they do make Mountain Dew which is decent.


    But, for a chance to go into space and return in one piece, why not drink a Pepsi.

  17. I called. on Handling Email Overload in Congress · · Score: 1
    When talking about the laws to allow copyright holders to hack into systems, I called in and said,
    "I believe you have copywritten files on your system so I will hack in and destroy everything with immunity. If you pass the law, this phone call could become true.

  18. Maybe they will pass some good spam laws on Handling Email Overload in Congress · · Score: 1, Redundant
    If they get enough garbage, maybe they will take the SPAM problem seriously.


    If their aides have to spend lots of time sifting through SPAM, they will do something about it.

  19. Not free speech. on WA Wins First Case Against Deceptive Spammer · · Score: 3, Informative
    The anti-SPAM laws are not content restrictive, but are restrictive on delievery mechanism.

    The anti-SPAM laws, and the junk fax laws are putting restrictions of form of delivery without restricting the message. Otherwise, the police cannot stop graffitti on buildings because that is restricting free speech. Am I allow to break into your house to take a message to a bathroom window?

  20. Yours is the attitude! on Learning x86 for Non-x86 Assembler Programmers? · · Score: 1
    LAZY!

    Yours is the attitude that require word processors to need 40MB of ram to run!

  21. A good start, but??? on Million-Dollar Donation To Fight Abusive Copyrights · · Score: 2
    The question is how will this be applied?

    To fund think-tanks to write papers? To to pay-off^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hlobby politicians for better laws? Or to fight court cases?

    Why not just give this to the EFF?

    There is too many unanswered questions to say if this will really help.

  22. It soon will be. on VeriSign DNS in Trouble · · Score: 2
    There is talk of a law that makes it illegal to have false whois data. This is to handle people trying to make money buying domains and selling them to trademark owners.

    Currently you are contractually obligated to provide correct whois information by the terms of service that propagated from ICANN.


    SPAMMERS usually use false domain information to hide. Maybe the spammers don't want us breaking into their houses to watch TV and use their computers? Why not, their houses are connected to public roads, so we can use them. Right???

  23. Re:I work in an office that pays for bandwidth on Detecting Wireless LAN Users · · Score: 2
    Stealing bandwidth is still stealing. But Slashdot think it's cool. No surprise that ODSN is going down the toilet.

    No. I think most of the /. users think it is cool that it can be done. Once they do it, it gets boring fast. There is more interest in setting up their own network neighborhood.


    Now, it would be real funny if you were a spammer making that statement.

  24. It could help on 802.11 vs. 3G For Mobile Access · · Score: 1

    Maybe the DSL providers will see this as a threat and drop the price while upping the bandwidth?

  25. The Brick! on Cappuccino PC, Round 3 · · Score: 2
    This is nothing new. Years ago, early 90s, they had the Ergo Brick.

    The interesting thing is that it was a metal case, and the CPU had thermal gel to cool the CPU through the case.
