  1. 100% correct, but absolutely uselss... on VoIP to Fuel Plague of 'Dialing for Dollars'/Spam · · Score: 1

    That like saying the following back in early 90's -- "I have had e-mail for over a decade, and I have not had any spams..."

  3. "You're a terrorist. You have no rights." on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just imagine how prosecutors will try to get people classified as terrorist.

  4. Carrie Fisher in bikini (was:mature theme) on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    That sir, is a rather disturbing idea. Have you seen her LATELY? Are you sure you want to see her in bikini? I understand that she has ... matured into a writer, but good gods, the years have not been kind to her appearance.

  5. Finally, at long last, we get to see... on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    "This story hints at the next Star Wars being a bit more of a mature themed movie."

    Finally, at long last, we get to see Jar Jar Binks die a horribly painful death...? A graphic scene of Emperial Walker stepped on Binks would do nicely.
  6. FYI: (was:Little-Known Spyware EULA Provisions) on Spyware Analysis of P2P Software · · Score: 5, Informative

    Bubonic plague is a bacterial infection, not a viral infection.

  7. Instead of endlessly complain about it... on Publishing Exploit Code Ruled Illegal In France · · Score: 1

    Why not work to change the law(s) in question? I don't know how French legislative works, perhaps someone can shed some light on the subject?

  8. The most important question of all... on Gamespy Reveals Xbox Next Specs · · Score: 1

  9. Great news indeed on Virginia Court Overturns Spammer Convictions · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now we can impose the death penality instead of the meager fine and short jail time.

  10. Been ongoing for years in other countries on Student RFID Tracking Suspended from School · · Score: 1

    When I was younger, we were required to wear uniforms with badges stating our name, class, and school. It was never considered a problem. So I fail to see what the fuss is about.

  12. Remind me of... (old phart alert) on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 1

    A coworker from my past lives once told me that he worked for a school district at New York some years back, where the PHB hired an idiot that can't code. Being a government job etc., it was rather difficult to get rid of the said person. So instead of letting the said person write code, they (as in two other coders) told the person to write comments for the code...

  13. It's because... (WAS:Quality) on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The answer to your question is rather apparent; it's obviously because they're pushing their own "extension" and is not in their interest to support the "standard."

  14. How can you tell? (was: fake components) on Most Common Ways to Kill a PC · · Score: 1

    Evne the "Made In ..." label is faked. As much as I like to joke about it, it is not uncommon for counterfeit product to carry bogus place of origin sticker.

  15. It is not possible on How Secure Is Microsoft's Fingerprint Reader? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anything digital can cracked. Although I don't want to come across as some sort of M$ lover, but M$ is being slamed constantly because it is currently the biggest fish in pond (or is it bullie in the neighborhood? but I digress...) There is little doubt in my mind that when Linux overtake M$, it will be on the receiving end of same treatment.

  16. Re:11K??? on New Climate Change Warning · · Score: 1

    Of course, measurement unit of kelvin does not carry the word DEGREE; it is 11 k, not 11 degrees kelvin...

    Conclusion: Stop spamming as in stop spamming from US?

  25. Re:RTFA sh_t for brains. on AMD Chip Fraud Delays Release of New Chipset · · Score: 1

    Indeed, RTFA. It said the low life was taking factory REJECTS (as in ones targeted for destruction) not merely remarking slower "good" parts as faster "more expensive" parts.
