  1. CT: Yeah yeah. It's a dupe. on Toms Hardware Reviews 65 CPU's, Past & Present · · Score: 1

    CT: Yeah yeah. It's a dupe. Funny that not a single reader emailed me in almost 2 hours to tell me.

    What the hell is wrong with you?
    You call yourselves editors, and yet you do not edit the stories.
    You call yourselves editors, and apparantly do not even read your own frontpage. If the readers are supposed to check for duplicates, you could be replaced with a very small script.
    You do not listen to your readers. (How many have asked for some script that checks if a link has been posted in earlier stories?)

    And you expect people to pay a subscription fee? You must have smoked more crack than the average moderator.

    But how much memory did you have on the machine?
    That's my main question.

  3. Re:Memory on 65 CPUs From 100 MHz to 3066 MHz · · Score: 1

    Me too. A 100 MHz machine with 512 MB memory is probably less annoying than a 2 GHz machine with 64 MB memory. Not that I have used a machine with either specs...

    I wonder how Windows XP runs on a 100MHz CPU, if you have enough memory. Would using Word be a pain? Could you use it in a small home office?

    Yes, and I did RTFA, but they had a bunch of bar graphs there, they didn't say anything about the feel of the machine.

    Nope, it looked through the attachment. It was attached as quoted-printable text/html, and the discriminating words were from the attachment. The only other word in the body of the mail was "testi."

    The three spammiest words were "million" "trust" and "reports."

  7. Re:The problem with content filtering on Spam Catchers Block Latest Crypto-Gram · · Score: 1

    The new "bayesian" approaches are finally dealing with this problem -- something can look an awful lot like spam, but it will be saved if it looks even more like legitimate email.

    In this case, spam doesn't generally run for 21 pages with words like "cryptography," and "full disclosure."


    Well, as a matter of fact, my bayesian filter marked the message spam, when I test-sent the html-file as an attachment to myself.

    You're right, it is down. Unbelievable. Does anyone know what has happened to http://goatse.cx/? Is it down permanately? Why was it shut down? Too much bandwidth?

    People might not have liked it, but it has become a internet icon of sorts. Bring back http://goatse.cx/!!!

    My back-button usage probably stayed about the same when I switched to Opera, but I like using it a lot more now. Why? Because it is so fast. You click back, and you're there, not "You click back, wait a few seconds and you're there"

    I was fortunate and unfortunate when I got a chance to buy R1 Matrix DVD second-hand when it was still in theatres in Finland. So I bought the DVD, and everyone wanted to see the movie. So I had to watch the movie like a dozen times in a month.

    The movie does get really boring after the second or third time you see it. But I will go see both Reloaded and Revolutions. And I'll probably get Animatrix as well...
