  1. Re:In 2002, I researched the COSMIC background on Has The Poincare Conjecture Been Solved? · · Score: 2, Funny

    In his case, it's all imaginary.

  2. Attractive on Introducing The Dave/Dina Multimedia Distro · · Score: 2, Funny
    This is a beta release meant to attract new developers, testers, and hackers, who want to work towards a similar goal.

    And lawyers and RIAA and MPAA who don't, oh my!

  3. [OT] Army of zombie slashbots? on Cops, Wifi, Treasure Hunts, And More! · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Quite the flood of posts. Is someone using zombie network bots to get around lockouts of IP addresses and ranges?

  4. Re:so obvious on Making The Case That Voynich Is A Hoax · · Score: 1

    Rot13 is a cipher. Besides, it might just be some 16th century APL code or an old Slashdot: The Print Years backup.

  5. Re:Spammers create jobs (NT) on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not to mention spin-offs in the rope, gun, tar and feather industries. Why, I received an email from a Chinese maker of horse-whips the other day that was very tempting.

  6. Re:Don't you have to be English to be knighted? on Tim Berners-Lee Attains Knighthood · · Score: 1

    Not many Canadians recently, except for Conrad Black and we were glad to be shut of him. By law, Canadians can't accept Bath accessories.

  7. Re:Take the Spam Lists with You on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1

    I swear that this is the exact same troll text posted on Slashdot and nanae a number of times previously. Is this moronis or lamie?

  8. Re:Unsubscribe on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1
    So all the times before that he said people could just opt-out, he was, like, lying to everyone?

    I am shocked and very disappointed!

  9. Re:Calling him an ass for those quotes wreaks of.. on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1

    So it'll be okay if I run up your phone bill? After all, it doesn't exist in physical form.

  10. Re:Spammers create jobs (NT) on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 3, Insightful
    He says he creates jobs. He says he has given up the business. Ralsky says that he hasn't sent any email out for weeks.

    The main problem with all these statements is that a spammer is saying them.

  11. Re:Onstar and the Beagle on OnStar Considered Harmful · · Score: 1

    Where did Beagle 2 find a fire hydrant on Mars?

  12. Re:Is it pre-programmed to do anything? on Mars Crater Theory Tries To Explain Missing Beagle · · Score: 1

    The question is: Does Mars have poop'n'scoop laws? Do we have to pick up after that Beagle?

  13. Re:Cool! on Mars Crater Theory Tries To Explain Missing Beagle · · Score: 1

    What was the par for that hole? Did the Beagle make an eagle?

  14. Re:1 Degree warmer - Careless on Old School Data Mining, Maritime Style? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't take much of change in the average temperature to cause a major shift.

  15. Toxic Treatments on Measuring Pollution In Humans · · Score: 2, Informative
    All the worry over dangerous chemicals in your body spells one thing to various quackery groups: Market!

    Make sure any program/treatment promising detoxification isn't just a come-on or quackery or worse like Scientology in drag peddling Elronics to firefighters. (Nothing wrong with a little bit of sauna, but all that Niacin can cause liver damage.)

    Make sure that the wonderful treatment to rid your body of harmful dangerous chemicals isn't even more dangerous.

  16. Re:Look out, more ads and spam in the future! on Satellite Radio Subscriptions Rising · · Score: 2, Interesting
    a la just about any media. Originally FM radio rarely had any ads. (Because no one would buy any ads.) Premium pay cable channels didn't have any. (Because they were supposed to be paid for by subscribers rather than advertising.)

    Advertisers always look at anything as an advertising channel that they have some right to stuff with their .. ads. Billboards, buses, your clothing, foreheads, whatever. The day after someone makes the Paint the Moon trick work, count on advertising up there. (Especially since no one owns the Moon.)

  17. Re:If these cool gadgets are in a museum NOW... on New CIA Tech Museum: Spy Scat and Robo-Fish · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now that the restrictions on domestic spying have been reduced, the CIA probably has devices planted around Washington disguised as politician droppings.

  18. Re:Onstar on Holding On To Hope For Beagle 2 · · Score: 1

    With any luck it's got a few hidden RFID tags.

  19. Re:What kind of shoddy... on Holding On To Hope For Beagle 2 · · Score: 1
    We need probes smart enough to at least take care of the basics without getting in contact.

    Bye, good luck, write when you find work!

    (Of course, there is the danger of leaving them alone too long and finding that they've opened a chain of ethnic restaurants or convenience stores across Mars.)

  20. Re:Interesting on Smallpox From The Past · · Score: 2, Funny

    I doubt there are envelopes full of scabs even in the signed copies.

  21. Re:What's important to know on Make More Mistakes · · Score: 1

    And the most important thing to know is how to psych out anyone else from even trying. Kill all those competing businesses and products before they start by quoting the odds at them. :^)

  22. Re:How about using real maps? on Blast Theory Unwires Online Games · · Score: 4, Funny
    Imagine having to reach a point in the game that, in your world, would put you in the middle of the river

    How about in the middle of someone's living room? "Hello, can we come in? We have to kill the evil dark hag of hell." "Honey, some people here to see your mother..."

  23. Re:Poor Taste in Title of Game on Postal 2 - Share the Pain Demo for GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    Oh course, since the original meaning of tragedy is "goat song", this is all probably some goatse troll.

  24. No problem on Postal 2 - Share the Pain Demo for GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    Just change it to shooting spammers--no one will object to that.

  25. Mental picture on Microsoft Researching Anti-Spam Technique · · Score: 1

    A zombie spam rendering farm makes an interesting mental picture.
