  1. Re:What is wrong with Captchas? on How to Prevent Form Spam Without Captchas · · Score: 1

    Just curious: will al math problems you pose result in 7? That would possibly be a weakness in your system.

  2. Re:What is wrong with Captchas? on How to Prevent Form Spam Without Captchas · · Score: 1

    what would the answer be? it could be either sentance or the correct spelled version (whatever that would be, this is Slashdot, remember)

  3. Re:OT: Did Vista... on The War Is Over, and Linux Has Won · · Score: 1

    Is it really called "Vista: Finally Read The Manual!" ???

  4. Re:Except that on Internet Addicts As Ill As Alcoholics? · · Score: 1

    In an Amsterdm rehab clinic, they tend to have the same symptoms in the cold turkey situation as alcoholics. They also treat gaming addiction in the same way they trat drug or alcohol users.

  5. Google? on Selective DNS Caching/Forwarding · · Score: 1

    What's the use in alowing google and not alowing the sites it links to?

    I assume you will try to block google cache somehow, otherwise the workaround is rather easy as well...

  6. Re:Small reactors on A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant? · · Score: 1

    use a loooooong line!

  7. Re:Safety on A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant? · · Score: 1

    It will continue to work in that case. In a traditional nuclear reactor, you either suspend neuton adsorbing material on an electromagnet above the reactor, or you have means to drain the water easily. Both will stop the nuclear reaction. Option 2 is not available while sinking though.

  8. Re:I'm still a little fuzzy on e360 on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 1

    poetic justice it may be, but it will be against the real laws in the US.

    However it will affect you here (I'm dutch also) is a different matter, but it might be an offence under dutch law as well, so they could sue here also (there won't be damages though, the judge will most likely just tell you to stop doing this under penalty for every day you continue).

  9. Re:A three hour tour on Firsthand Account of the Christie's Star Trek Auction · · Score: 1

    "was" being the operative word here...

  10. Re:Limburg Cheese experiment on 2006 Ig Nobel Prizes Awarded · · Score: 1

    Have you ever tried it? It's actually very good. Best served with some dark ryebread and some apple-syrup (or whatever "appelstroop" translates into). Some port wine or Belgian Triple variant (I like La Chouffe best with it)

    The only thing is that you do not want to keep it in your fridge at home. I store it in the shed in the garden, packed in several plastic bags, and I will put the packaging outside rather than in the kitchen bin. Because the smell is legendary for a reason...

  11. Re:Details on Pi Recited to 100,000 Digits · · Score: 1

    counting up or counting down?

  12. Limburg Cheese experiment on 2006 Ig Nobel Prizes Awarded · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A Dutch group won the IgNobel for their work on malaria mosquitos and limburg cheese. In a more serious experiment, they found the smell of feet is one of the main attractions to malaria mosquitos. They then tried Limburg Cheese because it smells, well, like feet.

    They are one of the leading institutes in mosquito research in the world.

  13. Re:Very elegant way to steal the election... on Dutch Blackbox Voting Pwned · · Score: 1

    In The Netherlands, all votes are added. Therefore, it would not make a difference where you skew the votes. You can even do it in a district that would be a sure winner for your candidate anyway, and be even more unsuspicious (because they win as predicted, just by a bigger vote).

    In the US or any district-system, things would be as you describe.

  14. Re:Simpler on UK Firm To Release 'Screaming' Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    It didn't work to replace the sim, they used the IMEI to identify the phone (no tech details on how to do that, sorry) and used a "SMS-bomb"

  15. Re:*sniff*.. *sniff*. on "DVD Jon" Reverse Engineers FairPlay · · Score: 1

    You heard wrong! San Fransisco has been part of scandinavia for some years now! It is one of the United America's of Scandinavia (UAS).

  16. Re:daddypants email link broken? on Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles? · · Score: 1

    I know, and cost is not an unit either, that would be $ or EUR.

  17. Re:Can I be the first to suggest... on Munich Finally Starts to Embrace Linux · · Score: 1

    It would have been a better name than LiMux, in my opinion

  18. Re:Just curious on Munich Finally Starts to Embrace Linux · · Score: 1

    It's only a few 100km apart. And to use US centered vocabulary, it is in another state, not another country. Berlin at least as far from Munich as Nuernberg is.

  19. Re:daddypants email link broken? on Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles? · · Score: 1, Funny

    There is a difference: Someone introduced the cost/gallon

    Cost/gallon of electricity is a new and fascinating unit!

  20. Re:For crying out loud... on How Can I Build a Portable "Dead-Man's" Switch? · · Score: 1

    God is intervening! He's making the father post on slashdot to obfuscate his devine powers which will be used to safe the child. This IS part of the plan!

    I do hope he will make the same intervention for you. You seem to be very confident that you are on the living side of the plan. Don't worry, I will not interfere.

  21. It now pays to RTFM! on Googling for ATM Master Passwords · · Score: 1

    Once you googled it...

  22. Re:Wasn't it easier to do these things decades ago on The Internet — Enabler of Guilty Pleasures · · Score: 1

    it figures. Metallica were friends back then.

  23. Re:Don't think So. on 'Columbine RPG' Creator Discusses the Dawson Shooting · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You don't see a WWII "extermination camp simulator" do you?

    http://www.radio.cz/en/article/82899

    almost the same thing

  24. Re:Don't think So. on 'Columbine RPG' Creator Discusses the Dawson Shooting · · Score: 1

    It made the news all over europe. Can't remember the name though.

  25. Re:Not likely method on Fish Work as Anti-terror Agents · · Score: 1

    Also, the water supply would probably spread low level radioactivity over a lager area than any bomb could. And the radiation effects are far worse if the radioactive compound is ingested. It will be impossibly hard to clean the area. I should stop before anyone actually thinks this is attractive.
