  1. Re:So the question really is... on Who Benefits from Spam, Anyway? · · Score: 1

    There's the badly coded spam that shows up addressed to "$FIRSTNAME,$LASTNAME". I wonder how much of the straight up nonsense spam is a by-product of sloppy code.

  2. Re:Dennis Miller is a coward on Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires · · Score: 1

    I think wikipedia has an article about that.

  3. Re:I knew there was something strange going on... on Phishing in Yahoo! Geocities? · · Score: 1

    Weird. I could actually hear the rim shot.

  4. Re:All your trolls are belong to U.S. on Patriot Act Bypasses Facebook Privacy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You say you'll sue the shit out of them, but I doubt you will when it happens. If so, please send me a copy of your lawsuit so I can watch the results.

  5. Re:Awesome on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    I think that was covered with the pizza eating movie in earlier comments.

  6. Re:Could work, but for how long? on MacBook Users Fix Trackpad Problem with Origami Paper · · Score: 1

    Were you at our last couple shows? Our Cap'n Kirk dressed as Denny Crane.

    Sometimes I really love being in this band.

  7. Re:What else does? on Student Suspended Over IM Icon · · Score: 1

    Would I get arrested/suspended for posting a similar picture with Bush? No, and neither should the kid.

    You would if you worked under Bush (unless you're Shotgunner Rove). And you'd deserve the punishment.

  8. Re:Be careful how you try to close your accounts on More Warnings Against Oversharing on MySpace · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I had one a couple years ago that got "killed by Tom" back when you could review pictures and make comments. Maybe you still can, I don't know. I'd comment on girls in bikinis by saying stuff like, "Not so bad, you can hardly see his adams apple" and, "Pretty good with the tuck and roll -- not much visible mangina".

    That got some girl saying her marine boyfriend was going to kick my ass. I offered to give directions to my house. Then my account was deleted.

  9. Re:Quick Question on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 1

    Try managing a bunch of smart people getting paid minimum wage who have access to the Win98 POS.

  10. Re:Quick Question on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 1

    Forced to use it at my new job. I can't believe they use it. What's wrong with a multi-national corporation where they use Win98? I begged for something better and spent a day cleaning virii when I started and downloaded ZoneAlarm.

    Then I pounded my head on the wall for a day and said, "oh, screw this". That way when I get spam, I can think "Hey, maybe I sent this to myself".

  11. Re:i hear a sucking sound... on Craigslist to Start Charging for Some Listings · · Score: 1

    A "better free alternative" would have a problem with name recognition.

  12. Re:If the information is so trivial... on Such a Thing as too Paranoid About Privacy? · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's not true. In California you have to possess ID when you're in public. We're a "Show us your papers" state. From wikipedia: Furthermore, in some states, like California, failure to produce an identification document upon citation for any traffic infraction (such as riding a bicycle on the wrong side of a street) is sufficient justification for full custodial arrest.

  13. Re:The Network Architecture of Treason on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 1

    After I posted that I thought about putting in a nevermind post. Sorry, but sometimes that's what happens when drinking Christmas Cheer and posting to /.

  14. Re:I'll scratch your back... on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 1

    To change/repeal an ammendment you have to do it with another ammendment.

  15. Re:The Network Architecture of Treason on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 1

    That kid lied about the Little Red book. Look it up on google news.

  16. Re:Ohhhh say can you see ... on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 1

    My favorite is that it's been bad enough for so long that even haggard ol' George Lucas has described it to The Great Unwashed in Star Wars. We still don't care. I have no idea what it'd take before anyone cares. After the hatchet job 86'ing JFK it doesn't matter.

  17. Re:Is The U.S. Becoming Anti-Science? on Is The U.S. Becoming Anti-Science? · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, we use that for RU-486. Sure, it's legal, but try getting it filled.

  18. Re:Prelude to chipping people on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    Erica, a friend of mine, got herself chipped. I think because sometimes she's a kook. And partially because it made her (and me) laugh. This way when someone steals her, someone else can find her, run a wand over her arm, and return her to home.

    If you ever saw Trekkies 2, she's the one with the Borg cat.

  19. Re:That's Stupid on Librarian Suspended over Patrons' Web Access · · Score: 1

    I believe, along with many slashdotters, is that the constitution isn't working in this real world we live in.

  20. Re:Very Deliberate on Librarian Suspended over Patrons' Web Access · · Score: 1

    That'd be the "official" cause, but it wouldn't gone downhill before then, otherwise it wouldn't have been sacked.

  21. Re:Hmmm on Lunar Dust: A Major Worry for Moon Visitors · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sorry, I accidently RTFA.

    The Apollo astronauts couldn't help but get covered in the stuff as they struggled to stay upright on the moon's surface, where the force of gravity is one-sixth of that on Earth. Later, they tracked the dust back into their space capsules and inhaled it when they took off their helmets.

    It won't happen again.

  22. Re:You bet. /.ed already. on U.S. IT Infrastructure Highly Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the Apache update. I figured they'd been using Microsoft since it went down so fast. Microsoft is secure. I'll be sure to ask the key logger on the free internet access site I'm using (not kidding).

  23. Re:Car Keys on USA National Memory Championships · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does he remember my name and password to my 30??? slashdot ID? Hell, I think I used rocketmail when I got it.

  24. Re:If it's not broken.. on Creaky Operating Systems Form IT Foundations · · Score: 1

    I've ran across all sorts of ancient crap OS at internet cafes around Australia and New Zealand. But also plenty with pirated XP.

    If the place is run by anyone interested in computers, you find the better Windows. Better Windows doesn't sound right. But plenty of the coin fed booths stuck in the corner of corner stores use 95 and older.

  25. Re:Maybe Saline is more powerful than we think on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    Funny, when I had my nostrils fixed so I could breathe out of them both, it hurt.

    They shot me up with morphine, which I was looking forward too as my first experience with opiods. Nothing. It still really hurt. They shot me up again. Nothing. It still really hurt and I have a pretty high tolerance for pain.

    After the 3rd shot they said, "we can't give you anymore, we're worried you might OD" and they gave me some pill that worked (while I sat there in pain waiting for it to take affect). Then whatever pain killer pills they gave me had no enjoyable side affects. I should've just bought Vicodin off the street.
