  1. The ACTUAL charges. on Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Before anymore of you spout off about how this guy's use of his free speech rights is what got him into trouble, RTFA!

    "Tsouli has been charged with eight offenses including conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to cause an explosion, conspiracy to cause a public nuisance, conspiracy to obtain money by deception and offences relating to the possession of articles for terrorist purposes and fundraising. So far there are no charges directly related to his alleged activities as Irhabi on the Internet, ..."

    LOOK! No Internet-publishing charges! They found out who he (allegedly) was by accident!

    My only question is where are the Internet spooks who should be hunting these guys? They break into servers in the US and put beheading videos on them, and no one bothers to check the logs? Where are the honeypot jihadi forums? Is anybody looking into wtf http://www.whois.sc/irhabi007.com is all about? Is the owner a fan or an identity theft victim?

    Thanks! For defending me, I'd like to send you the last bottle of the Jergin's Lotion! It's a bit congealed after 7 years, actually. Even for a slashdotter, it's hard to use up a case of the stuff. I forgot to mention the Mrs. Buttersworth Syrup coupons, too, but they're long gone,anyway.

    The best part of this whole discussion is that cts made me his foe! How awesome is that?

  3. Re:what was the point of that reply? on Jeopardy! Tryout Screenings Go Online · · Score: 1

    Hey, you were the one who wanted to know how much I won.

    If I were to meet Merv Griffin, I would thank him for creating the game. I thanked the contestant coordinators. Alex, who I repeat is a JERK, gets no thanks, but he no doubt got a bigger paycheck than I did for far less effort.

    I'd also like to thank the data entry operator from South Carolina who I beat on the second show, since she took time off from work, brought her family with her, and ended up with those fine watches (and mops), probably ending up down several thousand dollars for the thrill of being on TV for 22 minutes. Hey, maybe they promoted her to data entry supervisor after the show, so she's now making $8/hr instead of $7.75/hr.

    I bet she gets the stupid questions too.

  4. Re:how much did you win? on Jeopardy! Tryout Screenings Go Online · · Score: 1

    Since you asked so nicely, cts... $28,601 + a Gateway PC + Sauder computer furniture + Libman ops + a case of Jergens lotion + electronic Jeopardy home game + A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF SIOUX BEE HONEY! (The honey actually lasted much longer than a year.)

    Subtract the cost of the flight and hotel and rental car.

    It's NOT FUN being a contestant. It's work. Fill out forms, get made-up, change clothes quickly between shows, GET INTERVIEWED BY A JERK ON TV (they cut out the banter between Alex and me on one show, he was rude, and my response got a HUGE laugh) zoom zoom zoom. At least I got paid, unlike the 3rd placers who got about $250 worth of crappy watches. Maybe they get the honey, too, dunno.

    A friend of mine who was also on the show decribed the experience as "being proccessed". I agree.

    Maybe you've inspired me to write my first k5 article, cts. You must not be ALL bad.

  5. Re:i tried out for this once on Jeopardy! Tryout Screenings Go Online · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I went to one near Central Park south (fail) and later they started doing tests at Merv Griffin's casino in AC (pass, not chosen), and then just a screening at the Pequot Sun casino in CT (pass), and finally again in Manhattan (PASS AND CHOSEN!)

    I'll answer all the stupid questions now.

    They do not pay for your flight or hotel. They do not give you the answers beforehand. Yes, you have to pay taxes on winnings. No, Alex is not cool, he is a jerk.

    I was on three shows (two wins), you'll see me on Game Show network every year or so. No residuals.

    Kiddush - The special blessing said over wine or grape juice, particularly on Shabbat, Havdalah, and Jewish holidays. The word comes from the root koof|dalet|shin which means "holy." The Kiddush fulfills the mitzvah to "remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." The Kiddush is recited on Friday evening before the meal, as one is not supposed to eat until after this blessing has been said.

    Very little land in the world can renew itself year after year. Farming by its very definition sucks up nutrients from the ground to be hauled off.

    Except that soybean, being a legume, with the help of rhizobia bacteria, will fix nitrogen and leave it in the soil, thus IMPROVING the soil.

  22. I had a similar problem on LCD Color Corrector? · · Score: 1

    Samsung SyncMaster 570s TFT, which turned very pink. Using the built-in controls, I adjusted the colors back to somewhat normal, but it happened again. After doing this a few times, I realized that the color levels for RG&B sometimes went from 0-100, and sometimes from 0-255. So the red was at 255 = 100% and G&B were at 100 == much less%.
    So, it's some kind of firmware problem, and it can't be updated. Set all color levels to 0, unplug it, shake it like an Etch-a-Sketch, try anything to make it forget its settings. Actually, try everything the OSD will let you. Finally unpinked itself.
    On the bright side, I've been using it for two years since then, without it pinking out on me, UNTIL YESTERDAY!! Hitting auto-adjust worked that time.
