    Apple always needs to pull a rabbit out of its hat.

    That trick never works!

    He's still got a ways to go to catch up with Time Cube or Alex Chiu

    Yeah, it's all brunches and snacks on the run these days. Nobody ever has a classic lunch. (Typo, who me? :^)

    You could block Google ads, but TANSTAAL. So long as they're not in my face, don't pop up/under, don't bog the connection with graphics, and are usually relevant to my search, I don't care. If it pays their bills, great!

    Only the companies with annoying ads get routed to 0.0.0.0 in hosts.

    Is the billing smart enough to recognize repeated clicks from the same IP?

    Yes. Distributed click-attacks, I dunno. I imagine Google has a team working on those sorts of problems. (As well as search-engine spamming.)

    For a high-speed, short distance communications standard, you could always adapt Pigeon Protocol (see the RFC) for use with hummingbirds.

    War-wanking? I really really don't want to know what chalk-symbols would be used for that.

    Very wide bandwidth, but little gain. That probably shouldn't matter for short range.

    And for everything else, there's Pringles... :^P

    Now you can buy cable from this guy that allows communications faster than light! A mere $325.00/1m, what a bargain! (It seems that Mathew Orman figured out where Einstein was wrong. [But don't they all?])

    Yeah, it makes me feel completely enervated!

    If you listen to some of the happy crowd during the looting, the happiest are shouting "eBay!" :^)

    Read those Microsoft EULAs carefully. Many of them have a clause that "prevents" rogue states with WMDs from installing. (Seriously.)

    Not only did it first fly in 1955, but they haven't built any new ones since the 1960's.

    I'll say one thing about them, they're *LOUD*. Fighters taking off on afterburners are nothing compared to B-52s.

  18. Re:This is really silly post! on WLANs As Spam Conduit · · Score: 1

    Gonna block all the proxy ports too? These days most spammers send through open proxies. (Some of which are open porxies.) It makes it harder to track, and gets around ISP blocks on port 25.

    The reason that spam works for big name spammers is because they send out millions of spams to find the small number of people who will actually buy their junk.

    They reason that they get harassed because of all the millions of people they've pissed off, a small number will step over the line.
