    This being slashdot.org, you mean stuffed animals, cardboard cutout of Leonard Nimoy and such...not actually a human...right?

  2. Re:Sooo... on A Cheap, Distributed Zero-Day Defense? · · Score: 1

    It's not needed, because the zero-day defense software will be perfect - duh.

    You're obviously right on point. This is only a good idea, if the software was perfect. But we wouldn't need this "perfect" software, if software was perfect....and around and around we go.

  3. Re:Power Requirement on Nvidia 480-Core Graphics Card Approaches 2 Teraflops · · Score: 1

    Great, so now I need Mr. Fusion or a blot of lightning to get my computer running. I wonder if the flux capacitor is an optional extra?

    2) Post link to server on slashdot....server will now be in use.

    3) Lock and Load....Hank must fail

    4) Well, you might want to unmount any ram drives you might have and throw in a few 'sync' for good measure. Then get your holywater and wait.

  19. Re:So, what is the problem? on Yahoo Blocks Venerable Email List Over False Positives · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A valid point. However, from personal experience I can tell you that when [place name of any webmail service] users no long get the mail they expect, they don't blame said webmail service - they blame the company or person that *should* have sent the mail. Because we all know that mail *always* gets through and that Yahoo, Hotmail, Google et al *always* work as they should.

    The problem is compounded by the fact that answering angry support mail from users demanding to get their newsletter might be impossible, because that too may be blocked.

    So while I agree with you that this could be solved by getting the webmail user to shift over to a new provider, the user may never be aware that the mail provider is the problem.

    I guess solving the spam problems is not an easy task :-)
