    From reading the comments about violations of conservation of energy, it looks like Kohei Minato could be the next Alex Chiu.

  3. Re:How to avoid spam. on Spam and the Law Conference Report · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's a nasty thing to do, sending Bounce messages to random innocent people who happen to be in the forged From address. Getting lots of false bounced junk messages myself, I say you are part of the problem.

  4. Re:Legend of Zelda on Classic GBA Game Ports We'll Never See? · · Score: 1

    It's not a port, it's an emulator. Big difference.

    Yes, let's hear it for fill-in-the-blank mad lib type jokes with interchangable groups to make fun of.

    Like this google search...

  6. Deleting bookmarks on Mozilla 1.7 to Become New Long-Lived Branch · · Score: -1, Troll

    As long as it doesn't Eat up my bookmarks again... That's the only reason why I still use IE. It never deletes all the bookmarks and profile information randomly.

  7. Re:My "Passport" on Passport to Nowhere · · Score: 1

    Cliptrak anyone?

    Sure, that's just a tool made for convienence, but someone else could make a clipboardlogger to automaticly harvest clipboard content or something.

  8. misinformation on Nintendo Patents Handheld Emulation, Cracks Down · · Score: 1

    The GBA SP runs no faster than the original GBA.

  9. Re:You do nothing. on Stop! Website Thief! · · Score: 2, Informative

    Back when goatse.cx still existed, Hick.org and goatse.cx were the same site. Same server, same IP address. It chose which site to serve based on what URL you typed in.
    If you connected to hick.org, and issued an http GET http://goatse.cx/, you would get the disgusting page rather than the reletivly benign hick.org page.

    Mod parent down. This post has been posted repeatedly already, and I'm getting sick of it.

  13. OEM bundles... on Microsoft Beta Includes Built-in Virus Scanner · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Dell WinME machines still came preloaded with WinDVD, despite the built in DVD player of WinME. It's all up to Gateway, Dell and such whether to include additional software to match a build in OS feature.

  17. Re:Stawin-A Trojan on More MyDoom Gloom · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, typoing URLS on informative posts, then replying with the correction is an excellent way to effortlessly build your karma score. I've got to try that sometime.

  18. Licensed video game on Asimov's "I, Robot" Gets Movie Treatment · · Score: 1

    Still waiting for the Licenced Video Game to be announced. Oh wait...

  19. Still.. on New IE Bug Hides Real Site Address · · Score: 2, Informative

    Even if it's hidden in the address bar, you can do File > Properties to see the full URL.

    And no, this bug won't work on slashdot since slashdot removes the username parts of a URL, and also removes the DOS smileyface character from posts.

  20. Re:Robot postings? on The Robots are Coming · · Score: 1

    Yeah, scan a bunch of slashdot articles, find any nearly identical +5's, especially with recurring keywords, then post those.

    Soon words like Dying, Beowulf, and Soviet would end up in the database.

    Don't even need the robot.

    Never mind that the Mac had singing text to speech for a long time...

  23. Wesley Willis on Decoding the Algorithm for Pop Music · · Score: 1

    Wesley Willis figured out the algorithm for Rock & Roll Music a long time ago.

    After listening to a lot of Wesley Willis mp3s, the Beach Boys start to sound very formulatic, complete with the exact same pattern: Verse Verse Solo Verse. Only without the chorus consisting of repeating the title 4 times.

  24. Re:practical obstacles on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD · · Score: 1

    It's a little tricky to do, but you can insert a Microsoft Graph inside an openoffice spreadsheet. It won't automaticly be linked to the spreadsheet data though, it gets its own mini-spreadsheet, like when you insert one in a word document.

    But you do get the trendline feature.
