  1. Re:He's gonna stop SPAM!!! on FTC Abandons Call for Stronger Privacy Laws · · Score: 1

    I just can't see most of the spammers that hit me stopping just because I opted into some nospam list. They're not gonna go hunt these guys down. Surely he knows the spammers won't be using this list responsibly. It's just politician talk.

  2. He's gonna stop SPAM!!! on FTC Abandons Call for Stronger Privacy Laws · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mr. Muris's privacy interests also include [...] finding ways to cut down on unwanted e-mail
    advertisements, or spam, by creating a national "do not call" list of people who do not want to be contacted by online marketers.


    Ok this guy's credibility is now shot.

    Move along to the next article.

  3. My pipes beat yours on Who Has Faster Pipes? Linux, Win2000, WinXP Compared · · Score: 1

    Now all Linux needs is a good set of glasspacks.

  4. Re:But what about the media? on Code Red Goes The Way Of Y2K · · Score: 1
    The question is, why is it that Code Red was trumpeted as the "End of the entire Internet as It Is", with no mention that it only affects MS IIS servers.

    Because all the data those IIS servers were supposed to send around would've sure affected people trying to use your Apache server.

  5. A good marketing lesson here on Vintage Computer Festival Shows Off Ancient PCs · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you want your PC company to survive, don't name your computer SOL.

  6. Shoulda used open source on Losing Track of Nuclear Materials · · Score: 5

    This is exactly why I, dictator of a small island country, instruct my military to get all our nuclear bomb-related software from Freshmeat.
    You don't know adrenaline til you guide a nuclear missile with gnuke 0.913 (unstable).

  7. Not again on MS, CNET On 7-Day Messenger Outage · · Score: 2

    Anne Tomlinson went to work for Microsoft?

  8. Linus vs. Tanenbaum on Linus vs Mach (and OSX) Microkernel · · Score: 3
  9. Re:A wild overreaction.. on Scientologists Force Comment Off Slashdot · · Score: 1
    It's got to be challenged. We need some money for a legal challenge.

    2600, a tiny magazine with 2 employees, can fight the DMCA.
    VA Linux, a publicly traded company with over 400 employees, is telling me that somebody must stop the evil DMCA; but not them, because they need money.

    Just gives me even more respect for Emmanuel Goldstein. Slashdot talks. 2600 acts.

  10. picture at CNN?? on Microsoft Cracked · · Score: 1

    What's the picture in the CNN story?
    Mice crawling over a keyboard?
