    Besides, nowadays where would we find that many virgins?

  2. Re:And su you should be on Microsoft Introduces IM Licensing · · Score: 1
    It's not that MSN is better, it's more that it came pre-installed with the OS and was very hard to remove for the average user.

    It's very hard for a program which does almost the same (ICQ, AIM) to compete with a similar program that always starts up when you boot.

    The way this takeover was played out kinda reminds me of the way IE conquered the browser market, by bundeling the program with the OS.

    Wasn't this also how porn was invented?

    I would think an engineer would find a better way to remove half of the beer from a glass, but maybe that's just me.

  5. Further reading on electronic voting on E-voting Trials and Tribulations · · Score: 1
    There are a lot of interesting discussions and viewpoints on electronic voting in the comp.risks archives.


    Another interesting paper was written by Peter G. Neumann, it can be found here.

  6. Re:Someone's operating the scam in Holland too on Some Spammer Has a Crush on You · · Score: 1

    I have gotten the same message twice now. I called the first time, because I was curious (lonely).

    The way I understand it, it only gives you the number if you guess correctly. I was allowed to fill in 3 other phone numbers. I didn't leave a single one, because I figured that would just make 3 other people receive a deceptive message.

    So, that is the story about me remaining single, tune in tomorrow for the exciting sequel!

    How considerate of you to spend your dieing thoughts on the future of the company.

  9. Further reading material on Elections on the Internet -- Not Any Time Soon · · Score: 1

    Anyone who has ever read Comp.risks will be familiar with this subject. I think this group is mandatory reading material for anyone involved in computer science.

    Peter Neumann has written a lot of insightful comments on electronic elections. Check out the "Electronic Voting" part of his page, which can be found here.

  10. Re:Mutisession cd's? That's all? on Anatomy of Cactus Data Shield · · Score: 2, Informative

    They tested about 10 drives in the article, and they all encountered some problems while reading, except for the AOpen CRW2440 (up to 91% with CDDAE, up to 100% with EAC).

    They managed to copy the disc with CloneCD and the Aopen drive. They also tried to copy it whith one other drive (TDK CyClone 161040), but that one encountered read errors.

    "The CDS200 cd-r backup does contain the CDS200 protection, however now is FULLY readable from all tested drives"

    Translation: Rip away.

    Also interesting to know is the amount of read errors in the original versus the copy. The diagram can be found here.

    In short, the "real" cd was one solid block of read errors, the copy had a few spikes, but those were nothing compared to the other, both in frequency and seriousness (note that the scale in the two diagrams is vastly different).

    You could check out pornripper.com

    It scans a lot of sites each day and has a searchable gallery index. It also cleans your cookies and history and brushes your teeth.

    It's a free windows application, but there is a demo site at pornoripper.com that contains just the links, sorted by genre.

  15. typo? on Microsoft's 'Freedom to Innovate' Brochure · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the line "Your time and efforts will help to shape our future" read:

    "Your time and efforts will help us shape your future"?
