  1. Pick up a phone and let them know how you feel! on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Everyone stop right now, and CALL the Oklahoma Judicial branch, and tell them ALL about unsolicited phone calls, and how much you just LOVE to get them.

    Maybe after a few hours.... They might understand how we feel.

  2. right here.... heh... on Where Is Spam When You Want It? · · Score: 1

    I'm also doing some research. Results to be published soon.

    But I'm currently testing to see how "smart" the bots are.

    You know how we all type "myemailATthissiteDOTcom and stuff like that. Well, does it really work?

    You'd be surprised at what I've found out so far.

    Anyhow.. using a default e-mail address as the baseline, I recieved the bank account scam in less then 2 days. But you need to be patient. It does take weeks for some of these lists to propogate, and your name to get added. But once it does, the flood gates open.

    Look at the story sources. How about coming from something reputable?

    It's more like a jumble of conspiracy papers jumbled together, and one sided views.

    I was waiting to read about the secret unreported story about Rob Malda passing a kidney stone and why didn't I hear about it on slashdot when it happend.

    It's a god damned conspiracy I tell ya!

    That's roughly 6 computers or 5.76 to be exact.

  9. Re:How do I make Windows Stop Listening? on RPC DCOM Cleanup Worm Appears · · Score: 1

    It's an honest to God pain to shut them down in Windows, but it can be down through the administration panel.

    Once you turn them off... don't forget to choose the option, to keep them off on the next re-start. Otherwise they will all just re-start, when your computer does.

    The BEST and SIMPLIST way is to get firewall software.

    Go to www.download.com and look for Sygate or Zonealarm

    Hope that helps a bit... as for actually shutting down the services... check out google.. or maybe someone here can help.

  10. I honestly don't see why telemarketers hate this.. on Telemarketers Sue Over "Do Not Call" List · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Honestly think about it:

    Those of us who do not like telemarketers, will not talk to them, and would NEVER buy anything from them are SIGNING UP for the list....

    Those who like to buy stuff and chat, WILL NOT sign up for the list. Basically those of us who sign up are saving the telemarketers valuable time, by NOT wasting their time.

    Get it???

    I honestly don't see what the problem is... it's really a win-win situation for both.

    I mean.. did anyone really stop to think about it? It's not like we're all automatically signed up.. you have to choose, to not get calls.

  13. Woohoo.. Time to unveil my Wireless Portal! on Lecture Hall Back-Channeling · · Score: 1

    I started writing a WML portal (using perl, and a perl module I wrote).

    Maybe it's time to target the professors. The portal comes with a message board, multiple chat rooms, news, links, gallery, admin, stats, etc...

    It's just been a fun little side project that I thought no one would ever want anyhow...

    if you have an Opera Browser or WML - WAP Enabled Device

    Point it to http://www.mcarterbrown.com/index.wml - WaPortal (Wireless Access Portal).

  18. Re:The New SUV and better marketing on Buy a Segway... Please · · Score: 1

    Your sarcasm and comments are not appreciated, just letting you know.

    You may like being called a socialist (you commented being called a socialist in your journal), but in all honestly, it's nothing to be proud of. Socialism is only a small step away from communism. The only difference is that in socialism you (the individual) decide what job you do, and not the state. That's pretty much it.

    To think that you can make a utopia and have everyone equal, is plain stupid. To think that you will blame the rich for being rich is stupid.

    If it wasn't for SUVs and Trucks, us in the North East on that last snow storm would have gotten no where.... Take your stupid crap car on the road then. You would have gotten no where. It would not have been safer, more like a death box with all the sliding cars.

    You're an idiot...

    Back when there was only 13 colonies... a militia constituted of every man and boy that could carry a gun. i.e. Everyone....

    There was no draft... you didn't sign up, or were part of an elite group.

    The dictionary is giving you todays meaning of the word. The whole point of being able to bear arms, is to protect yourself from your own government. The way America rose above to what it is today. Without the right for the individuals to bear arms, there would have never been a revolution.

    A revolution, is overthrowing your own government, in case you didn't know that. Now with out weapons.. how are you supposed to do that????

    You can't.

    That's why it is a right to keep and bear arms. To protect yourself, against your own government... Now I know it wasn't spelled out word for word for you... but if you can use the internet, you should hopefully be smart enough to understand that.

    It IS hippie stuff....

    /.'ers are too smart to fall for the "Raping them there lands" ploy.

    Instead of sitting in a tree looking stupid, how about trying to propose some sort of meaningfull legislation. How about overseeing the replanting of trees? Or maybe work with the logging companies for selective cutting?

    These are the same idiots trying to ban SUV's et al. But the truth is, forest fires in Asia last year consumed more wood, and put out more Co2 then all the SUV's in all of their history.

    The Granola nuts won't mention that because it doesn't help their cause.

    You're right about one thing... When you sit down and look at ALL the facts, and not just the ones in your silly Greenpeace pamphlet, you will be outraged.

    Correct me if I'm wrong..
    But AOL is really stuck in 56K while the world of emerging broadband and dsl is here.

    To break the AOL mold, they need to keep the online community... allow you to use whatever browser, and offer broadband speeds for the same price. (or comparable).

  25. First things first.. on Advertising on a Free Wireless Network? · · Score: 2

    People need to get out of the "click - through" bullshit!!!

    That upsets me more then anything. When I'm watching T.V., and I see a commercial... I don't drop what I'm doing and head out to the store!! Same goes for the internet. I'm here to read a story... I go there to do some research. If I see something that interests me, I'll then go to it.

    Example: Thinkgeek. I know the web addy now... I've even bought a couple of things off of it. But have I EVER clicked through... NO.

    Once advertizers and web providers remember that it's the idea seed that gets planted and not the click-through, maybe the internet business will return.

    People should really be quantifying, "if I put up and ad, do my # of visits increase as a whole?"

    Now that would be better data.

    Hey.. how did this box get under me?
