    Tough one.

  2. Sounds great... on Ask Slashdot: Using a Sandbox To Deal With Spambots? · · Score: 1

    Until they figure it out after 1 day and create another account anyway. Or maybe they create and revolve 40 accounts and DOS you, in spite, using 15 differant ips. This would fake a 15 year old in 1995 using their Visual Basic AOL program, but not a company being paid to spam. As someone who has developed scrape spiders and anti-spam code (for highly spammed websites), you are going to need to think a little deeper. I can tell you one thing, any spam bot software worth it's weight in obnoxious comments is going to look for every possible way to fool you.

  4. News! Journalism! Prophets! on Will Speed Limits Inhibit Autonomous Car Adoption? · · Score: 1

    Stupid. Like, when I read this a song was blaring in the back of my brain. All the words were stupid. Stupid, stupid stupid. How about this for news: [Stupid] people may not buy automated cars, because of the [stupid] limitations of the automated cars [stupid] system. [Stupid] people need [stupid] while driving, so I predict these [stupid] people may pass [stupid] laws, you know, to make the automated cars less stupid. I mean, obviously right? I'm pretty sure when cell phones first came out, some [stupid] journalist probably wrote:

    "Here's a thought: at the start, only [fat] people will be the only people lazy enough to buy a [cell phone]. [Cell phones] have tiny itsy-bitsy buttons. Fat people have gigantic sausage fingers. Ergo, there won't be any market for [cell phones]. Wait, I hear you say. That [fat] guy will just modify his [cell phone] to have [gigantic buttons]. But, if you [dial], but to mess with the [cell phone] safety systems of even your own [cell phone] is probably a felony. Much more likely: the [fat] will get new laws passed to make it legal for [cell phones] to have much, much [bigger buttons] than normal phones."

  7. Technological Ignorance on Older Means Wiser To Computer Security · · Score: 1

    Personally, I fall into the "almost digital age" generation. Hearing "You've got mail!" over broadband at home while being a high schooler was mind blowing. But, in contrast with the younger generation, I did not grow up with computing for idiots. I starting programming at 12 yrs old, because their was basically nothing else as powerful and consuming back then. Today, 12yr olds can play 1 million facebook games and read all the people they hate's twitter. The fallacy being that the evolution of simple computing and the influx of babies born with tablets as diapers doesn't necessarily mean that these kids are going to have a better understanding of technology, really they are just exposed to a digital world where it is not important to learn to become a power user. Even all the new program languages dumb down the entire process to the point where the "programmer" no longer ever needs to develop a programmers mind. This new world just creates technological ignorance, where the feeling of power and ability has become the affect of simplification.

    Soooooo.... How would Prince get these royalties? Or, do you just not believe in an artists right to make money off of their art? Or, do you just ignore the fact that stealing songs from Prince is wrong because it's free? Why should youtube put this music back up, because it is more convenient and free for you? Go buy music, because if you don't (if people stop understand why they need to buy music) then music as we know it will cease to exist.

  11. Along the same theme... on Time Warner Cable Patents Method For Disabling Fast-Forward Function On DVRs · · Score: 1

    They were also able to patent "Blindly administering ass sex to customers who pay over $150 per month and use their 'DVR', which they have renamed DARI (Digital Ass Rape Interface)". Man I used to hate Comcast, but after having Time Warner for a few years, I would gladly re-consent to the good ole' Comcast fingerbang.

  12. Brilliant! on Hybrid Drives Struggling In Face of SSDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Poor Seagate "will double in sales from 1 million to 2 million units this year."... With that kind of tortoise slow 100% growth they must be so sad. Poor poor sad seagate. Seriously, I do not understand this article or what point it makes. Obviously if ONE company is selling a fairly new product in a sea of solid state drives, they are not going to immediately overtake the old technology, and I'm not sure how doing so is the only way to measure their success. Am I crazy here? Was this posted by a bored robot?

  14. It all makes sense on California City May Tax Sugary Drinks Like Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    No wonder the free market is doing so well in this country. With all this rampant socialist policy being vomited out of the bay area, what direction are we moving in here. Honestly, I absolutely do not believe society has any right to impose taxes and laws on individual freedoms for an individuals "greater good". Health and personal well being are intrinsically at the whim of an individual, and trying to control that is ridiculous. I mean, look, heroin shouldn't be legal, but, if some dude wants to drink 10 cokes a day, which some other person drinks 10 coke waters (disani?), how is it right to tax the coke drinker more. Because they choose to drink something that contains a lot of sugar? Really? I'll take a happy meal in a plastic bag please, add a mega-sized mountain dew, and finish it up with a cigarette: all while you suck my balls San Fran.

    Dear Oracle, Apparently your lawyers are about the same quality as your databases. When your lawyers lost, did they email technical support and receive the answer, "Please restart your database"--you know, because they hadn't tried that 5 times.

    Oh, I get it. I was a computer science major, and 1/4 of my courses were about documentation (is some way). The major problem is, unless the big-boss understand the development process (which, 9/10 times he will not), it's not happening.

  22. Shocking! on Facebook IPO Stumbles Out of the Gate · · Score: 1

    A derivative website, riding the crashing wave of hip right on to the volcanic shores of soccer moms and granny pokes, which offers nothing to reality except the callous idea of a digital lifestyle portal and free corporate marketing: yeah that seams worth billions of dollars. Shocker. I like that people are still under this mis-assumption that facebook is / will / could change the world. Can it? Maybe if it had anything to offer other than millions of pages of basic online biographies with a constant input of narcissistic drivel.

    STFU. Monkey work is monkey work. Code monkeys are code monkeys. In the military, you don't just become a general. When you are entering the military, they say, you start out as a private, is that derogatory. A entry level programmer starts in the trenches as a code monkey, period, get over it.
