  1. Re:From an insider... on Porn Rewards Users To Get Past Anti-Spam Captchas · · Score: 1

    But this is not something "respectable" porn sites do. This is something spammers and scammers do. They put up a "mock" free porn site that requires "registration."

    Then they say something to the effect of "To avoid competing sites from harvesting our free images automatically, you have to dechipher this image to prove you are not a bot." And they could do it every time the user come to the site. "Your session has expired, please verify again that you are not a bot."

    The html-code is there to tell what to download.

    Then you just download the image and re-host it and show it to the user. User dechiphers the image, sends in his "registration" form and the script forwards the user's answer to the original server.

    To me this is one of those "That's so simple, why didn't I think of that" things.

    The same in Half-Life: Blue Shift. That guard killed more of those frog-creatures than Gordon and the soldier combined. And the game was way shorter than even Opposing force.

    those movies looked like ass.

    Well, at least Disney tries to make their films look different from each other.

    Every Don Bluth film has looked like the others. Dreamworks has the same problem.

  8. Re:Helium is a great chemical on Scientists Create Supersolid From Helium · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Water is already an oxide. In fact it is an oxide of hydrogen. So I doubt water being more flammable than even liquid hydrogen.

    Even if the algorithm would recognize naked people perfectly, it would not recognize clothing-fetishes, from naughty french maids and nurses to leather and rubbergames.

  13. Re:Capitalism is a funny thing on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but if "they" think that they might not necessarily get more income, but reduce expenses by kicking out people and outsourcing whatever the people were doing, their profits will grow.

    Same money in - less money out = more money in my pocket.

  14. Capitalism is a funny thing on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Capitalism is a funny thing. Well, at least the "modern" capitalism. Not only does your company have to profit, it has to profit more than last year, every year. This is one of the reasons people get laid off even when a company is making record profits.

    Use Opera. Ctrl-Tab or right mouse button + scroll wheel to change tabs. If you accidentally close a tab, just go to the menu Window->closed and open it again. If you close the entire browser, just start it up again and choose "continue from last time" from the startup screen.

  18. Re:Mod Chip on More On IBM's Next-Gen Xbox Chipset Win · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has already paid for the console when it sits on the shelf. Then you go and give Microsoft some (all?, I don't believe Microsoft sells them at a loss anymore) of the money back, and take the console home.

    In addition to that, Microsoft Xbox now has a larger perceived market share.
