  2. Better punishment idea on UK Makes Spamming a Fineable Offense · · Score: 2, Funny


    Make them copy each mail...BY HAND!

    If the spammer send 10 000 of a specific message:
    Punish him by making him write 10 000 copies of the mail sent. With PEN and PAPER.

    And of course... the spammer would have to pay for the papers and pens as well.

    That ought to teach him/her!!!

    And yeah... if the mail contains images or such...
    let him/her write the ones and zeroes....

  3. Hospitals on Cell Phones May Spread Infections · · Score: 2, Informative


    Simple... Do not use cellphones in hospitals.

    All radio (send) devices in hospitals should be (and are in some hospitals) banned due to possible interferrence with sensative medical equipment.

  4. Re:Cool on Sun Tries Subscription Software Pricing · · Score: 1

    hmmm but per employee the cost would be infinite.
    even if the total sum is zero.

    dont forget: zero divided by zero is infinity.

    this opens oppurtunity for stock price manipulation.

    If I hire a guy I save an infinite number of $$$ (per employee.. but it sounds good in press communiqe),
    " By hiring guy X The company saves more than
    1 000 000 (insert more zeroes if you like) per employee yearly."

    Nasdaq would buy like crazy.

    When the price rises to the sky, SELL FAST!!! ......
    Did I mention that I am broke?!

  7. I don't get it... on The Hacker Behind "Hacking the Xbox" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I really don't get it...
    Why hack the xbox? I mean even if the boxes are being subsided by M$ it's still a crappy computer.

    Only reason I see to hack the thing is to play cracked games...

    If you want a cheap home server build a small, fanless (silent), low power consumption (cheap in the long run) VIA mini-itx (small and quite cheap) box.

    + Timesave NOT to hack the Xbox.

  8. Profit??? on RIAA Sues 261 Major P2P Offenders · · Score: 0


    1) changed the definition of financial gain to mean "receiving anything of value" such as a copyrighted work- so running an FTP site that receives files is now financial gain, as is a program that sends and receives copyrighted files- but it's much more complicated than that....


    Does this mean i can become a multi-millionare if I mail myself a thousand copies of.. say Autocad?

    And if I destroy them... can I make a tax deduction?

    1. Get program X (or any copyrighted data)
    2. Copy and KEEP it for yourself.
    3. PROFIT!!!
    4. Repeat from step 2

  11. Re:Best fit? on Guessing Linux 2.6.0 Release Date · · Score: 1

    Doing a box-cox transformation on the dataset would be more ok, but it was 02:30 when I submitted it ok?
    The data is to bad to to do any real predictions anyway so I thought linear would be best.
    There is also a theoretical approach to linear fitting.
    If one assumes that "nr of bugfixes per day per developer is constant (in mean), and bugfixes means less warnings, then linear is ok right?

    And yeah, I should only count one "0 warnings" and then skip the following.
    Fitting to 1/bx+a might be a better method due to this..

  16. Somewhat related on Wiring A Vintage Teletype To The Internet · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What i really lack of todays printers is the old typewriter "engraving" effect.
    If I use a really "good", eg. linen or hemp, paper I want this effect because it looks nice and old-style (for diplomas and such), and have better archive durability (100y+).
    So my question is:
    Is there any electronic typewriter suitable for connecting to a computer?

    I guess its sugar maple Acer saccarinum then.

    Nice autumn colors on that one.

    With a lot of sunlight in the summer the red and yellow pigments are created as sun protection. In the autumn when the chlorophyll is withdrawn from the leaves they turn yellow-orange-red.

    Quite amazing
