  1. get a clue on Turnitin.com - Placebo for Plagiarism or Worse? · · Score: 1

    I though everyone knew that Turnitin is a subsidary of www.schoolsucks.com! They have to claim ownership of papers so that they can publish them on their other OTHER site.

  2. well duh on @Home Post Mortem: Who or What Killed @Home? · · Score: 1
    but the guy in question seems to have done nothing but good for @Home while he was there."

    He wouldn't want to do anything to damage a future corporate aquisition, now would he?

  3. Choice Fritz Hollings quotes on SSSCA Squirms Forward Again Thursday · · Score: 1
    Not EXACTLY on topic, but here it is anyway:

    Here are a few choice quotes from slashdot's *caugh* *caugh* favorite senator from todays Enron coverage [cnn.com].

    "There's a culture of government corruption,"

    He seems pretty self aware for a politician.

    "I've never seen a better example of cash-and-carry government than this Bush administration and Enron."

    I wonder how much cash HE's received from the movie ass of america to carry this?

  5. Re:No PayPal on Class Action Lawsuit Says PayPal Restricted Funds · · Score: 1

    Not really, at least in terms of wide acceptance. Western union has a competiter, so does ebay. And I think one or two real banks do. The problem with these other services is that you have to find someone else who accepts them. Billpoint has gained some ground on ebay, but as far as I know that's about it. No idea if they're any better. Stick with a check card. It's probably the safest bet.

  8. My solution on FTC Goes After Spammers · · Score: 1

    My simple ten steps to bitchslap a spammer.
    1) look at the source
    2) find the domain of the sending server (nine times out of ten it's hotmail or yahoo in my case)
    3) select the spam and hit the forward button
    4) paste the entire message source along side the original
    5) send it to abuse@whateverdomain.com it came from.
    6) delete the message
    7) delete the reply from the isp when you get it
    8) there is not eight
    9) go back to what you were doing before
    10) ummm...er that's it.

    Not gurentied to work everytime, but it at least requires that they get a new mail account generally. With practice the whole process should take about 5 seconds per message, depending on your mail client. Of course you could just write a script, if you're lazy.

  15. Right and wrong on Talk to the Man Who Wants to Oversee Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Should you get this job, you may very well have to deal with Microsoft execs that 'know' that they are 'right'. How would you go about dealing with people who absolutely possitivelly think that they are right, and yet you know they're wrong, and you have to change their mind? Having 'right' on your side is all well and good in a dispute, but if sides 'know' that they are right, things get difficult.

    If someone gave ME a couple hundred thousand dollars, I'd buy or build something slightly more badass AND more usefull than a NON-FUNCTIONAL lightsaber. Besides, every burgler within a hundred miles would be gunning for your house if word got out that you had an item like that :P

  18. drugs in highschool on Fighting the Scourge of Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    I always wondered why they looked the other way in highschool when it came to students using tobacco, crack, pot, etc, but using school computers for games got an automatic suspension. At least the schools understand the dangers of gaming!
