  1. Re:Blockbuster? on Directors Guild of America is Fighting Edited Films · · Score: 1

    For small values of "legitimate". I don't recall any visible signs in Blockbuster stores saying that I wasn't renting the original uncut version. (Behind the "Beware of the Leopard" sign right?)

    Pluto? That dog from Disney?

    You're brad.madison and I claim my $5! :^)

  4. Re:what about jurisdiction on Spamming Gets Expensive in Utah and Ohio · · Score: 2
    The Asia-Pacific spams are usually through open relays and proxies. While I do get some Korean language spam, most of the stuff I get through Korean is by American spammers. Most of the Linux servers in the country seem to have been installed from the same flawed setup.

    The best one was an open proxy spam for Russian Babes through the firewall machine for the South Korean naval HQ. (And right after I reported it and suggested they tighten security, the whole naval crisis between North and South Korea happened. Coincidence?)

  5. Re:It doesn't have every D&D book ever publish on Dungeons and Dragons Knowledge Compendium · · Score: 2
    Of course not. It's a site for collectors, and the more recent stuff, while collectable, just isn't notable.

    I'll have to pull out my near-mint The Dragons and Strategic Reviews and total them up...

  6. Re:Monster Manuals on Dungeons and Dragons Knowledge Compendium · · Score: 2
    Bah! Gods and omnipotent beings should never be in Monster Manuals. That takes all the mystery and terror out of an encounter.

    Remember: If it has hit points, it can be killed.

  7. And in other news... on Wanna Work for Dave Taylor & American McGee? · · Score: 3, Funny

    New gaming company American McGee was found dead on Sunday. Police say it looks like a slashdot by email killing. They looking for a suspect named "Takko" who is presumed to be of japanese origin.

    And if it travelled by monopodial locomotion, would it be a GRACE HOPPER?

  9. Re:Wham! on Princeton Hacks Yale, Harvard Not Surprised · · Score: 1

    Ouch! Farked, drudged and slashdotted in one day, that gotta hurt! Obviously a DDOS attack.

    I submitted a story "You got a heart attack!" to Slashdot about a pacemaker with phone messaging to send an alert message to the doctor and a fax (from a central office) of the cardiogram. Can Internet and webheart sites be far off? ("I'm browsing the site, pop that bag in Joe's office and let's see what happens!" "Wow!")(Hmm, if it was two-way, the doctor could defib remotely.)

    Let's see, URL News story

    This guy was too lame to be Microsoft's security chief? Woooow!

    I wonder when he left?

    I personally would like something that strapped to one of my hips

    obviously you don't ever intend to have kids ;)

    You say that like it would bad. :^P

  14. Re:Everyone knows Robot Wars is better. on Teaching BattleBots in High School · · Score: 2
    RobotWars is to BattleBots like Iron Chef is to Iron Chef - American version hosted by William Shatner.

    Building robots in school reminds me of the Far Side cartoon of some pimply kid saying to his teacher "Hey, I want to talk about that D you gave me in shop", with a giant killer robot looming behind him.

  15. Re:Sometimes "collateral damage" is intentional on Collateral Damage in the Spam War · · Score: 1

    Yep, it's a damned shame. Damned shame. Pass me another clip?

  16. Re:Spam USED to bother me on Collateral Damage in the Spam War · · Score: 2, Funny

    Spam used to bother me, but now all the email I get says "This is not SPAM". I mean, they wouldn't lie to me or anything would they?

  17. Re:Spam cost me my girlfriend on Collateral Damage in the Spam War · · Score: 1
    I could still be dating a military chick if it weren't for spammers.

    A military chick that uses too many exclaimation marks? Trust me man, you're safer this way.

  18. Re:What About IP Spoofs on Collateral Damage in the Spam War · · Score: 2
    I've seen spoofed From lines, spoofed Received lines (after the top trusted one). I've never seen the IP in the top Received line spoofed.

    Are you sure that your friend wasn't blocked because PacBell did have an open relay? Check the list web site. Most provide evidence for their blocks.

    Some collateral damage is deliberate. The ISP has to choose between spammers and legit customers.

    You're refering to Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie's Every OS Sucks The other one in my sig is pretty funny too.

    No no, it's only spam if it's unsolicited. I'm sure he must have solicited his girlfriend. ;^)

  21. Which OS? on Lazy Musicians Spawn Robot Ukulele · · Score: 1

    They don't say which operating system(s) they're using. Could give new meaning to George Formby's When I'm cleaning windows.

  22. Re:Ratings on Net-Nexus Seoul · · Score: 2
    "The government has even set up a certification program to rate buildings based on the quality of their data lines"

    Now if only they could certify their servers and network admins. Most of the school servers in Korea seem to be installed from the same busted Linux distro with open proxies for spamming.

    A few weeks ago I had a real problem trying to report an open proxy server on .. the firewall for the South Korean Naval Headquarters! (Yeesh!)

    The only real way to support a claim to sovereign is the military will & means to back it up against all contenders.
    Yeah, like Mao said, and Washington did.

    "Come and see the violence inherent in the system!"

    I'm sure that if Sealand had a few Exocets, they would be sovereign -- for about as long as it took for a Trafalgar-class boat to put their name on a 533mm torpedo.

    Granted Apple sueing over Microsoft ripping off Xerox just like Apple was really stupid. My .sig link is definitely on topic for this one.

    Radio Caroline ass-kicking
    On Saturday August 19th the unthinkable happened. The large Dutch vessel Volans with armed officials on board closed in on the Ross Revenge as did the British launch Landward.

    By means of violence and force of numbers the Dutch took control of the ship and as chaos reigned, the disc jockeys relayed a blow by blow account of events to the astonished listeners. Then when the transmitters were silenced the Dutch stripped the ship of all broadcast equipment while the British attempted to interrogate the crew under threat of arrest. All this happened in International waters where the boarders had no official powers. In the early evening, Carolines British tender, posing as a press launch, reached the ship with some genuine journalists on board. The raiders immediately left taking with them all of the records, studios and transmitting equipment and leaving behind some vandalism and deliberate damage. They also left behind the British crew who refused to desert their ruined ship.

    Country? Says whom, Sealand? So what.
