  1. Re:taking the high road(?); Careful what you wish on L.L. Bean Suing Competitors For Spyware-Linked Ads · · Score: 3, Informative
    If I want to run software that modifies how web pages are displayed on my computer, then that's my right. If I set it so that my browser displays no pictures, cute cat pictures, or even pictures of someone else's product, that's my business. L.L. Bean has no right to dictate that their web pages must be viewed "as is", and there's no contract to force me to do so.

    That said, this is Gator/Claria malware, almost no one installs it willingly and knowingly, and certainly no one agreed to get other ads when viewing the L.L. Bean page.

  2. Re:Tron and Krull on Hollywood Courting the Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    Yup. Mainly the coin-op, and also an Atari 2600 game.

  3. Re:Does this mean we'll get to see on Hollywood Courting the Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    Lemmings would be pretty good as a song and dance movie.

    Don't forget to include the plague-spreading hamster. (An actual Sim add-on.)

    It sounds like the game (which I haven't seen) is a pretty good match for the movie (which I also haven't seen). :)

    In Zork, all goths are eaten by grues because they refuse to carry any lights.

  7. Re:Nice on Covert Channel: ASCII Art Over ICMP · · Score: 1

    Have it set so that no matter what site they request on port 80, they get served the goatse guy. Then have a sniper pick them off as they scream "Argh! My eyes!"

  8. Re:Argh not another way on Covert Channel: ASCII Art Over ICMP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If it's in response to a ping, then you requested it and it can't be called spam.

  9. Re:hmm on Covert Channel: ASCII Art Over ICMP · · Score: 3, Funny

    I get a (O) response. What does that mean?

  11. Re:Good news... on UPN Renews 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's lots of Trek actors as guests on Enterprise. A number of actors have had major roles on different shows, like Jeffrey Combs who's had a few roles. Try to listen to the voices more.

    Trekkies (and other geeks) frequently communicate by referencing events in historical episodes. A quote, a snatch of dialog or an episode name transfers much larger meaning in a shared context. There is some debate if they've developed beyond the stone/bronze age however.

    The way their stock in falling, perhaps they mean UNIX-based precipitate?

  14. Re:Are you serious? on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Booble isn't spelled the same either, but Google has some objections. (A "look and feel" case, heh heh.)

    Do you have a trademark, copyright or contract of any kind? No? STFU, get out of my court, NEXT!

  16. Re:Effect on Economics on Economics of Online Gaming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How real is the value of some old stamps or a comic book that no one will ever read?

    There's been tragedy with EverCrackHeads forgetting about real life.

    More like almost two and a half years Rip van W.

  19. Re:Disappointing on DNA Sculpture Constructed with Shopping Carts · · Score: 1
    They should have motorized it and turned it into a ride. You could have kids sitting in the carts as they spin, rise, and come back down. Oh and all the mothers screaming when they see that you've put their kids on some shopping cart piece-de-resistance.

    According the the article, this is some kind of Fallis-symbol.

    His attitude may be that which a careful philosopher would have towards the gods of ancient Greece.

    A careful philosopher. That would be one with the spikey iron things connected to the copper wire into the ground devices on his roof, yes? ;)
