  8. we still haven't solved junk snail mail on Bye Bye Spam and Phishing with DKIM? · · Score: 1

    What makes you think that this is going to do anything for junk email. Until the burden of the spam is placed on the sender and not the receiver this problem will never go away. See http://cr.yp.to/im2000.html for a workable solution.

  10. Re:Funny thing is... on Why Microsoft and Google are Cleaning Up With AJAX · · Score: 1

    Can we stop with the Microsoft invented AJAX. They didn't invent anything of the sort. Sure they used a IE only Active-X (can you say unsecure) control to do something similar, but that is not AJAX.

  11. Re:Happens all the time in pr0n hosting biz on Data Center Move Goes Awry for TypePad · · Score: 1

    This must be a real story or else you forgot to include the spam link.

  14. Re: Not Forever on Stopping Linux Desktop Adoption Sabotage · · Score: 3, Funny

    the odd thing is I've noticed that Firefox has started to randomly crash on my Windows XP desktop at work. It worked great up until they started rolling out every freaking Microsoft patch under the sun. Makes you wonder if this isn't DRDOS all over again.

  15. Re:marine life? on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    Why is human life more important than any other life form on this planet? If you ask me the whale would win since there are considerably less of them.

  16. Re:About time on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 1

    No, but visual studio is and you really aren't productive in asp.net unless you use vs.

    If you do the same shit every time in php, you truly are doing something wrong.

    I've used asp.net using C# to write a web based program for a major corporation. Frankly, .net 1.1 sucks.

  17. Re:About time on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 1

    asp.net more robust? What are you smoking hkb? Do you really need a 1000mb environment to write scripts?

  18. Re:That's what makes Apple different from Microsof on Apple Fails Due Diligence in Trade Secret Case · · Score: 0, Troll

    What fantasy world are you living in? How long did it take Apple to write a better os (if you can call it that)? And they had to steal from the free software people to do it. Don't get me wrong Apple makes a decent (re pretty looking) desktop, but they are not the better alternative to anything out there.

  19. Re:You're kidding, right? on Mac OS X Intel Build Addresses Pirating · · Score: 1

    Frankly, the fact that it took some effort from the community to correct a situation that shouldn't have happend in the first place is evidence that Apple is not really on the up and up. Look at how many /. articles about Apple using legal muscle to punish people who are trying to help them.

    Menu on the left, app on the right and lots of mouse motion to use the application and the menu makes the newest Mac a POS when it comes to design.

  20. Re:Check your facts again - on Mac OS X Intel Build Addresses Pirating · · Score: 1

    You paid $795 for a FreeBSD? You got cheated...

    As to Apple contributing I give you khtml as an example of where the talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

    I used a new Apple Mac once. One of the wide screen models. Menu on the left, window on the right. Who designed that GUI? It really sucked.

    Could take a free operating system and turn it into something people want to pirate. Long live the GPL.

  22. Re:Just makes sense on 12Mbps Powerline Broadband Trial Unveiled · · Score: 1

    BPL makes about as much sense as two tin cans and a string. It isn't scalable, causes and receives interference to licensed radio spectrum users, requires additional infrastructure placed at intervals along the power lines, unsecure (steal a box off the power lines reverse engineer and sniff the data anytime anywhere). BPL's only goal is to make $$$ for a provider that pretty much as a fixed audience with little room for growth. Do you really want the local electric company as your ISP?

  23. A variac on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 1

    across the AC to test the computer under brown-out and power surge conditions. (This is a joke for those of you who know what a variac is.)

  24. Re:Well, guess what on A Look At MS's MA Talking Points · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have to say it even though I'll probably get troll rated, people who consistently appologize for corporations have a vested interest in that company and therefore there opinions are worthless because it is biased.

    The fact is Microsoft can use and contribute to the OASIS OpenDocument format if they want to, it is not Openoffice.org centeric. The reverse is not true.
