    new captcha at google, big deal, not news. just google. happens every day. bots hit my site all the time, and haven't cracked mine (yet). when they do, will it be news? no.

    summary: not news, it's google gaga gaga.

    You should try to tell that to somebody from middle or upper management... "I'm the bloody CEO and I want to see that data live... you are the one who will do it or you will be replaced with someone that will". ...and if you manages to give him what he wants the next wish will be "I want to be able to..."

            * use the data live in my Excel
            * present the data on our homepage


    airspeed, location on a map, altitude, calculated ETA and fuel consumption - you can do ALL of that stuff with a cheap usb GPS thingy plugged into the customer network. what's so difficult out that?

  9. evidence on Judge Rules TorrentSpy Destroyed Evidence · · Score: 1, Interesting

    the lesson here is: don't create the evidence in the first place. disable the server log. why is that so hard?

    i know we're talking about an organization and not an individual here, but is there really anything morally wrong with destroying evidence to cover your ass? self-preservation trumps law.

  10. Re:Wikipedia is not a democracy, people on The Register Exposes More Wikipedia Abuse · · Score: -1

    ignoring all other measures besides data size, you're right. i know that you know exactly what i had in mind when i wrote that :).

  11. Re:Wikipedia is not a democracy, people on The Register Exposes More Wikipedia Abuse · · Score: -1

    Wikipedia is probably the most successful collaborative effort on the internet, surpassing the Linux kernel in size and complexity. Its editors and authors do a lot of great work, putting data out there and generally being fair and balanced.

    oh no. fortunately, not every jackass with a patch has commit access to the linux kernel. your comparison is invalid.

  12. Re:Its about damn time! on DJB Releases All Source to Public Domain · · Score: -1

    qmail is still by far the best alternative to sendmail. it's just not meant for use by idiots, or people who can't RTFM. those people should continue using postfix.

  16. 100 billion?!?! on US Faces $100 Billion Fine For Web Gambling Ban · · Score: 0

    how about we give them a "gift certificate" instead, entitling the bearer to:

    1 (one) free US-led invasion of the nation of their choice. the US will occupy said nation for up to 4 months or until 100 billion has been spent, whichever comes first. If the bearer so desires, the US will track down, pull from a spider hole, and try said nation's leader in a kangaroo court, and his/her subsequent execution will constitute fulfillment of this offer regardless of the occupation time elapsed.

  17. POS? on What is the Best Way to Start a Paid GPL Project? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Now imagine in 10 years that 4/5ths of the worlds population thinks that Google is the internet. Everything else will cease to be relevant.
