  1. Re:Voters who pay politicians $0 on RIAA Sends Letter to Senate Supporting INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    did you hear that? it was the point, whizzing over your head.

  2. Re:Voters who pay politicians $0 on RIAA Sends Letter to Senate Supporting INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    the individual who can cast a vote, rather than the RIAA that can cast none.

    politics is not as one sided as you may think. you really think that say, the national abortion rights leage is going to pay someone like trent lott for his vote? you can't just go to a member of congress and say "heres alot of money, make this a law", there are quite a few steps to get a law enacted, different interests are all served through compromise.

    if government was run the way slashdot thinks it is, then why are we all still using computers? remember the SSSCA? we all bitched and moaned that "microsoft is paying the congressmen blah blah blah"....so why did the law never even get past committee? any slashdot political geniuses want to take a stab at that one?

  8. Re:1-419-COM-CAST. on 419 Scam Blow-by-Blow · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sounds like a similar scenario from SBC Internet Service. They told my mother that "there was a problem with her IP Telephony Stack Throughput" and that they would have to send a technician out there at $50/hour for about 3 hours to fix it. I re-started her DSL modem and it worked again. Brilliant.

  21. Re:Impact on crypto? on Mathematician Claims Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 0

    One of the fallout corollaries from a proof of the Riemann hypothesis is that there exists a simple algorithm for factorization (read: p-time).

    Releasing a proof of this magnitude in this fashion before sending it for formal peer review is definitely a loss of points for the mathematican who has shown his work - It seems to me that his proof is probably like a donut: small, fluffy, with a giant hole in the middle, but if he sugar coats it, people will eat it up. However, this is for the mathematics community to decide, and certainly not me, I'm but a lowly math undergrad.

  22. Re:Fix now available on Another Zero-Day IE Scripting Exploit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am fortunate enough to go to a school where the lab computers have Firefox on the desktop by default, and as the default browser. The head lab admin is a Linux guy, and this is one of the concessions that our evil ITS made to him. Now if only they would dump exchange...sigh.
