  1. Re:Update SMTP ... on Spanish Internet Provider's SMTP traffic Blocked · · Score: 1

    No.

  2. Re:Great But... on Philips Demos Keychain-sized Camcorder · · Score: 1

    I get the feeling from your post that you equate the number of pixels in a digicam to the quality of the pictures. That is one of the most common fallacies regarding digital photography.

    That said, I'm sure that the device is only good for "Woooo, look at me, I'm drunk, PARTAYYYY" -pictures.

  3. Re:I've sold my GBA SP... on Classic GBA Game Ports We'll Never See? · · Score: 1

    You can't play FF Crystal Chronicles multiplayer without each player having a GBA. The single player game works fine with the normal Gamecube controller. (Not that it's as much fun as the multiplayer)

  4. Re:At least SOMEONE is concerned about this on Privacy Complaint Against Google's GMail Service · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Around here there are people who think that Microsoft is evil. There are also people who think that Google is evil. These groups might have some overlap.

    Slashdot is not a collective mind. You are not the only free thinker.

  5. Re:Your mail isn't your mail anymore on Speculating About Gmail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hotmail, Yahoo and many ISPs have been "reading" you email for a long time trying to filter spam.

    Scanning your email to find spammy keywords is no different form scanning your email for keywords to serve relevant ads to you.

  7. Re:A little uncertain about a few things on Hitachi Shows Off A Fuel-Cell PDA · · Score: 1

    No, you refill or get a new fuel cartridge for them. You don't buy a whole new fuel cell.

  8. Re:Docs should be semantically marked up anyways on CSS for the LDP? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I knew there had to be someone who had some sense left. This was the real point from the start. Assuming the documentation is already in html, if you can't just "drop in" some CSS to make it prettier, there is something wrong with the markup.

    And if that's the case, you need to fix the html first.

    Validator.w3.org disagrees.

  11. Re:I like it. on Google Updates Its Face · · Score: 1

    It has been like that for a long time. Many times I've been looking for something (usually code examples) with google, clicked groups to search usenet, gone back and tried some other search terms. Google would show usenet results first.

  12. Re:Subject: Refresh their memories.... on Dealing with False AOL Spam Reports? · · Score: 1

    That's because many spammers use subjects like "Your order" or "Receipt of order #12098312."

    I don't think there is any kind of subject line that the spammers haven't spoiled...

  13. Re:all this talk of a mid march release........ on Half-Life 2's Technical Details, Cost Estimates · · Score: 1

    They just took everything we already saw in the E3 videos and have read from countless other HL2-stories and "summarised" it.

    Was there any new info in the article? Okay, I hadn't heard of the mid-March launch before, but like you said, it's 23rd, and I'm not playing the game yet, so it's pretty safe to say it was bullshit.

    My error rate was about 1/6, good luck trying to get that to work...

  18. Re:This happened to on Stop! Website Thief! · · Score: 5, Funny

    I did something similar. Someone embedded picture of me from my website in their post on a forum while making fun of me. I changed my .htaccess to redirect all requests for the image that had the forum's domain in their referrer to goatse.

    I don't think the forum moderators were pleased with the guy who made the post...

  19. Re:Oh... on Killing The Fun - Cheating In Online Games · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have done extensive research on recognizing cheaters in Counter-Strike. I have a web page that lists many sure signs of a cheater.

    Using this list you can't have any false positives. So don't bother replying with the usual "I use all of those things and I never cheat" because if you do that, not only are you a cheater, you are also a liar.

    Cloud's sword would probably weigh about 100 pounds. So the Master sword really is for 8-year-olds...

    Well why don't you come and put your big fat cock in my mouth. I'm sure that would shut me up.

    Yes, Serkis really is more human in dimensions than Gollum.

  23. Re:...unless you know the person! on Microsoft Mail Worms Gang War? · · Score: 1

    But these new worms don't need or use any vulnerabilities in any mail client. They propagate in encrypted zip-archives, and the user has to
    a) Open the archive (okay, that's a double-click in most modern mail clients)
    b) Type in the password that was given in the mail
    c) Run the virus (okay, another double-click in most modern unzip utilities)

    What these people need to understand is they should never open any attachments, even when it looks like the mail came from their family members, their boss, or the administrators of their network. If it looks like it might be important, do not open it before you have confirmed that the person did indeed send you the mail and the attachment.

    All of this is especially true when the mail is in English, and you live in a non-English-speaking country.

  24. Re:Yeah, it's a gang war alright... on Microsoft Mail Worms Gang War? · · Score: 1

    Actually, at least F-Secure releases new definitions multiple times a day, if necessary. But when there are many new variants released in just hours, they just don't have time to analyze them fast enough to update their definitions.

    The new definitions will come, but only after maybe and hour or few. That was enough time for netsky to come through my ISP's virus scanner, and my own scanner. My spam filter caught it, though. (And labelled it spam, when it clearly is a virus. Bad filter!)

  25. Re:I would like to point out... on Microsoft Mail Worms Gang War? · · Score: 1

    Yes it sucks very much, but this worm could very well be the one that teaches people not to open attachments.
