  1. 95% of spam from a small number of people. on Spammer Scott Levine Convicted · · Score: 3, Interesting


      "One spammer down, several million to go?"

    I heard that less than 200 people account for about 95% of all spam.

  2. Matchbox philosophy: on How Many Wireless Technologies Can We Handle? · · Score: 3, Insightful


      Does the world really need another player when the future is still so unclear?

    Isn't that exactly when you need as many different minds working on a problem? The future will clarify itself.

  3. **Paging Paul Allen** on A $100 Million Trip to the Moon · · Score: 1

    Is he fit enough to go?

  4. Who paid for this study. on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    TFA doesn't tell us who paid for the research.

  5. So... on World's Biggest Hacker Held · · Score: 0

    And this being slashdot, probably your own moobs.

  7. Old news! on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1


    This technology has been around since the early 80s.

  8. Better link on BBC on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 5, Informative
  9. Re:Does this mean - on Apple to Use Intel Chips? · · Score: 0, Flamebait


    What if Apple became a high-end PC maker? I'd buy one for the pose factor. And I wouldn't have compatability issues with any friends who didn't work in the meeja or graphic design.

    I suppose if they did this, they wouldn't last long tho. Unless they were clever. And they seem pretty clever.

  10. Red Wine on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Not sure why, but my keyboard seemed impervious to anything until it got splashed in red wine.

  11. Re:News? on How To Conduct Your Very Own Buffer Overflow · · Score: 1

    Yer eejit. Would you use the 'Preview' button next time. Would you just *look* at the construction, spelling and grammar.

    /too much wine at dinner.

  12. Re:News? on How To Conduct Your Very Own Buffer Overflow · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Look, this may be useful information, but it's not even remotely newsworthy. It's a freakin' intro-level homework exercise.

    Hey hang on there horsey. This is a good article. Why shouldn't it have a place here? If you don't want to read it, don't read it. /. is a place were news and more importantly and community convenes to learn a little bit more each day about our (nerdy) world.

    I for one enjoyed this article. Don't complain if some article don't conform to your expectation of what you think /. should be.

  13. It's been found - BBC News story here: on Librarians Fighting to Save Moore's Law Issue · · Score: 3, Informative

  15. Re:How queer... on WiMax Hits 100 mph on Rails to Brighton · · Score: 1

    Indeed - and how can a city be a suburb of anywhere?

  16. Re:How queer... on WiMax Hits 100 mph on Rails to Brighton · · Score: 1

    That's because you haven't gone to the right bits yet.

    Amex is by the nastiest parts of Brighton.

    I've lived in Brighton for 8 years. The last two about 300 metres away from your building. It's not very nice around here. I'm moving back to the Hove end asap. The only nice bit of Kemptown is the seafront.

  17. Has anyone actually got it to work? on WiMax Hits 100 mph on Rails to Brighton · · Score: 1

    I've tried twice but I haven't got it working yet.

  19. Re:The actual article on Black Holes 'Do Not Exist,' Contends Physicist · · Score: 1


    Four fucking pages?!? The guy claims to comprehensively contradict some of the best known and most studied concepts in astro-physics, and his proof covers FOUR PAGES?

    I live in Britain you insensitive clod!

  21. Re:Testing for real-world use on Too Darned Big to Test? · · Score: 1

    "[Testers]...so what's there to hate about them?"

    I started out testing. And saw that depending on how you told the devloper was an important factor.

    However, there were always the coders who resented it.

    Usually the crap ones.

  23. Cool - on Intel Flaunts Mac mini Knock-off · · Score: 1

    I was looking at my setup the other day. This little box could just be another thing coming out of my USB hub(s).
