  1. Scientologists are Copyright Hypocrits on Internet Group Declares War on Scientology · · Score: 1


    Way back what seems like many years ago now I contacted the webmaster and designer of Urban 75 to inform him that the Scientologists had ripped off his design. I actually first thought that he must be working for them but had to ask him just in case.

    Check out these stories from that debacle...

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/01/22/scientologist_web_site_rips_off/

    I hope that this case can be used to one day prove the ridiculous double standard the cult seems to promote.

  2. Re:It's what you make it on The Tech of Burning Man · · Score: 1


    I would like to point out that the population of Burning Man is very diverse.

    Not all of us share the same perspectives.

    > So you're saying 90% of the visitors are Bush supporting, pro-war, states rights, strict constructionalists? Somehow, I doubt it.

    because you are either that or a pot-smoking hippy?

    get a clue.

  4. Re:A discussion I once had on The Tech of Burning Man · · Score: 1


    I met people that came all the way from Japan and the UK just for Burning Man.

    I drove a 77 VW Van 1000 miles each way to be there.

    If you want to be there don't let the distance stop you. Just take it into account.

    If you have been to burning man you will know it's more like:

    Acquaintance: I went to psychedellic tatooine last week.

    Me: Why?

    Acquaintance: because it's Friggin Full-On Magical Psychedellic Tatooine!!

    and 1,000,000 other things..

  6. Koppix saved my ass on Knoppix Hacks · · Score: 3, Interesting


    I once lost all data on my D:\ 80 GB drive when i reformatted my C:\ due to a virus..

    I tried so many utilities to rescue it.. Norton, partition magic and a bunch of others i had never heard of and never looked at again..

    nothing worked..

    finally i booted to knoppix and changed the flag of the partition to what it was supposed to be and presto! i had everything back again!

    i love knoppix!

    What they need is some lembas.

  9. It says "not eating".. not "not sleeping" on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 1


    I think the problem with just doping up soldiers is that then they are unable to sleep.

    Eating gets in the way of combat sure.. But when you don't sleep for even 2 days that gets in the way of even more when you start hallucinating.. at least that is what happens to me if i don't sleep enough..

    try it.. just see what happens when you stay up past day three... doped up soldiers means more errors in the field.

  10. Master Cleanser Diet on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 1


    I've personally gone 11 days without eating and still been full of enough energy to bike long distances...

    Simple solution...

    take 1 Gallon of Purified water.
    empty 20 oz.
    add 10 oz Organic Dark Maple Syrup
    add 10 oz Organic Fresh squeezed Lemon Juice

    I've heard of people living on this solution with tons of energy for more than 40 days at a time.. you could probably go even longer. and it totally detoxes you..

    and it's tasty!!

    some people add cayenne to it for extra detoxing..

    look it up: "The Master Cleanser"

    it works!!

    the trick is usually making sure you are gentle on your digestive system when you kick it back into operation.

    well.. "they" basically already got mine anyway.. i usually just hang up on them but sometimes when i a really bored i might screw with them awhile..

  13. Update Baysian to only use first 25% of message on In (Sort Of) Defense of Spammers · · Score: 2, Insightful


    everyone notice by now how your Baysian (sp?) filter becomes ineffective when the spammer puts random words at the bottom of the message?

    I need someone to help me update spamprobe to it only looks at the first 25% of the message now..

    seems like it should be easy enough..

  14. Call those 1-800 numbers !! on In (Sort Of) Defense of Spammers · · Score: 2, Informative


    If everyone who ever gets a 1-800 number in a spam were to actually call it and waste the person on the other end of the line's time that would cost them a fortune..

    unfortunately it is rare to have a 1-800 in the spam.. but please use this strategy.. nothing wrong with pissing off spammers with innane questions..

  15. Re:I really have to question on Pentagon Cancels Internet Voting System · · Score: 0, Troll

    I think they should just do away with anonymous ballots.

    as if there is any real need for this anymore. i've never understood why people want to still keep this secret.

    maybe you don't want to make it public but if everyone has a serial number and one number is one vote how do you fake out that system?

    it's only anonymous ballots that make it possible to scam.

  16. Re:Open Source in developing countries on Linux in the Developing World · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was in Thailand not too long ago. Happy to report I found Mandrake Linux running in a few CyberCafe's in Chaing Mai.

    Oh.. and $40 is not equivalent to several months pay to any Thai with a computer. A good meal in a half decent restaurant only costs about $5 sure...

    And most people really can afford to eat.. Especially if they are considering what OS to run.

    over.
