  1. The best place is overseas on Which US States are e-Commerce Friendly? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sealand is very friendly to e-commerce, I hear.

  2. Well... on Which US States are e-Commerce Friendly? · · Score: 1

    I've always liked Ohio.

  3. In other news on Evolution Endorsed by Steves · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hundreds of years ago, the vast majority of "scientists" believed that the Earth was flat! Like a pancake!

  4. Re:Huh? on Mac OS X Solutions for Stereographic Applications · · Score: 1
    5) What in the @$#@(#@$&@!$@#% does Quicktime have to do with servers?
    Streaming QuickTime content has a lot to do with servers (serving the media, that is).
  5. Re:Links not right on Opera Releases "Bork" Edition · · Score: 1

    Umm, never mind: PEBKAC

  6. Links not right on Opera Releases "Bork" Edition · · Score: 1

    Well, I followed the links in the story to download, and got an Opera version 6.0.4 download that does NOT Bork MSN.com.

    Talk about disappointment!

  7. Re:You forgot to mention tabs, so I will. on Safari Beta Updated · · Score: 1

    Um, isn't it named "Chimera"?

  8. Re:Still .2? on Apple's X11 Beta Updated · · Score: 0

    LOL! Sorry, I used up my mod points earlier today...

  9. How do I get KDE to work with this? on Apple's X11 Beta Updated · · Score: 3, Interesting
    From the linked site:
    New in X11 v0.2:
    Support for Gnome, KDE hints
    etc.
    I was using the first edition of this, and could not get KDE to compile (using fink). Before I waste 5 more hours of my (precious) time, does anyone know if KDE will now compile with this new edition?
  10. Re:MySQL, ODBC, OpenOffice haikus on Trail of Tears: MySQL, ODBC, & OpenOffice 1.0 · · Score: 1
    You are a troll
    A shameless waste of bandwidth
    Keep up the good work ;)
    Huh? Your first line only has 4 syllables, but it appears that you are trying for your own haiku.

    Am I missing something here?
  11. Re:Posted by pudge? on Apple Posts Their X11 Source · · Score: 1

    ummmmm, he's the only one around here who posts decent Apple stories...

  12. Re:Smugly fanning the flames. on Xbox Losses Double, Xbox Shrinks · · Score: 1
    My 8-10 games continue to function
    This is confusing. Don't you know how many games you have?
  13. Re:The Irony on Slammer Worm Slams Microsofts Own · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but this would motivate me to migrate the heck away from SQL Server just as soon as I possibly could, if not sooner .

    I couldn't/wouldn't live in constant fear and dread that my production DB systems were the most fragile things in my infrastructure.

  14. 'next-generation secure computing base.' on Palladium Changes Name · · Score: 1

    That is just so dang funny. I can't stop laughing
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    "Our current generation of secure computing sucks, let's have a next-gen."

    They must have a special marketing department that thinks up these names. Just like their web server's name is "Internet Information Server", or whatever IIS stands for. "Nothing short or simple, let's go for long, hard to say, and meaningless."

  15. Re:Another golden oldie space game renewed on The Long-Awaited MOO! · · Score: 1

    Astonishing. I played Ho! version 4.0 probably ten years ago. I had no idea that the company was still around, not to mention releasing a new version.

    We played this game on the network at work, and using the Macsbug debugger and ResEdit, I figured out how to set memory values during game play to give myself unlimited resources. It was extremely hackable! My coworkers never knew what hit them!

  16. Re:On the other hand... on Nintendo Confirms New Console In 2005 · · Score: 1

    One reason for the failure of the Dreamcast was piracy, pure and simple. It is the only console that, unmodded, could boot from a CD-R copy of a game. In an industry that depends upon game sales to thrive, that hurt Sega quite a bit.

  17. Re:Spam and AI on Plan for Spam, Version 2 · · Score: 1
    and the spam crafters will become a persuasive consciousness that tries to think and write as a close friend or relative.
    Except that my close friends and relatives don't/won't ask me if I want my penis to be bigger, or refinance my house, buy toner for my printer, etc., blah blah blah.

    As the article points out, the SPAMmers still have to deliver their message, and that is their Achilles heel.
  18. Re:Why can't we have legal restrictions on spam? on Plan for Spam, Version 2 · · Score: 1

    One reason why you are wrong is that many people have to pay to receive the SPAM.
    Not everyone has unmetered Internet access, and they pay for each minute that they spend online. That is just one reason why this is not a free-speech issue, it is an issue of hijacked resources.

  19. Re:Palladium and "The Matrix" on A Lucid Explanation of Palladium · · Score: 1

    Ah, but there's the rub: the Palladium machine would never allow the "emulator" to run at all. When all machines have DRM built in, you have no choice at all...

  20. Re:My first hard drive on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 2

    Sorry, but as a former TecMartian (1987 - 1994) I have to correct you - it was "Tecmar".

  21. Re:Cedar Point on Tallest Roller Coaster in the World · · Score: 1

    Yes, well, Cedar Point is one of the things that we Ohioans are most proud of!

    Glad you enjoyed it, please come again!

  23. sheesh on EPIC Response To RIAA Letters · · Score: 3, Funny

    What a big stinkin' pile. The universities aren't stifling "critical thinking", they are rescuing their bandwidth from the pr0n-swappers.

  24. Bandwidth still being used on New Apache Module For Fending Off DoS Attacks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Handling all of those requests still takes processing time and bandwidth. What is needed is some type of hardware "filter" out front that can recognize a DoS attack and throw packets away.

  25. Re:Clicking 'I accept' ... on Slashback: Dilemma, Privacy, Chess · · Score: 1

    Not only can they not prove who clicked the button, but they cannot be assured that the person who clicked "I Agree" or whatever could actually read the text. They might just be clicking whatever button "looks right" to get to the next screen. As far as I know, most software does not require you to be literate in the EULA.
