  1. Re:What can "ReputationDefender" really do? on Dealing With Venom on the Web · · Score: 1
    Hmm, interesting (from their FAQ) non-legal methods:

    Does ReputationDefender simply send cease-and-desist letters or sue everybody when it seeks to "Destroy" content?
    No. Most of our approaches to effecting correction or removal of content are non-legal. We will only pursue legal options with the express consent of our clients, and these techniques are strictly optional and usually the last resort. They may incur additional cost.
    And they claim to be able to remove Usenet articles. Good luck on that.

    When it came out, Star Wars was Star Wars. All that Episode IV business was retconned in later.

  3. Re:Apparently they were not slaves on Architect Claims to Solve Pyramid Secret · · Score: 1

    Did they have a money (or gold, spice, salt, etc) based economy? Beer was supposed to have been invented around that time, so maybe they got paid in brewskis?

    The pyramids as a 20 year beer bash and "Hey, watch this!"

  5. YouTube got an Avagram! on Dodgey DMCA Use May Lead To 'YouTube Veto Power' · · Score: 1

    The Cthurch of Scientology routinely sent out mass DMCA claims against web sites which included material that belonged to someone else or were in the public domain. (They seem to be running out of steam on those; worn down by the Internet and rotation of their people through their "ethics" re-education camps. Now they robotically notify Google to remove posts to ARS with Hubbard's OT-III story.) They got an Avagram!

    How do you measure buzz? You don't. It's something that experienced people in this industry can just feel.
    Can't you just measure it with a Truthiness Meter?

    A decade ago, it was Comet Cursor. A long way on a hamster wheel doesn't count. (Unless you're on the shuttle...)

  10. Re:Why use robots? on Cisco Develops Mobile Robots for Wireless Nets · · Score: 1

    I think the coverage would be higher than that. You'd only have to be within range of a Ceiling Cat Remote Access Point.

  11. Re:think of the aliens! on Astronaut to Run the Boston Marathon From Space · · Score: 1

    I thought our whole civilization was mainly funny sweaty little creatures on treadmills?

    Just strap a wifi relay to Ceiling Cat.

  13. Re:Feel free, MS... on Microsoft to Buy DoubleClick? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Get a cheap router, then throw all the DoubleClick domains into the "parental blocking" filter.

  14. Re:Just one more reason for people to hate MS on Microsoft to Buy DoubleClick? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that I turned that off completely, but thanks for the reminder to do a quick check with Tcpview. The next time I run IE7, that is.

    And the router.

    The Internet battlefield also featured a recent proxy fight between the campaigns of presidential candidates Clinton and Obama.
    So they're abusing open proxy servers too? Next they'll be hijacking each others IRC channels!

    Oh yeah, Furries, that's safe for the kids and leads to completely normal balanced lifestyle.

  20. Re:These are not PC issues, but Windows issues. on How Small a PC Is Too Small? · · Score: 1

    Yep. My Heath-Zenith-150 PC BIOS even had a few other combos like CTRL-ALT-INS which would drop into a ROM-based version of debug.

    What, the gates don't incorporate a TARDIS-like translator? I guess everyone else in the universe thinks that English is such a good language that they all adopt it within a season or two of meeting these hoomans.

    ~former big fans of these series are no longer watching them religiously.

    Watching them agnostically is cheaper. Have you seen the price of goats lately?

    Not all men. As we push out into the universe, we discover that even small communities that have been isolated (and more than a tad inbred) for thousands of years have a balanced population of visible minorities.
