  1. eyeout search agents do exactly that on How Much Bandwidth is Required to Aggregate Blogs? · · Score: 1

    eyeout is a search agent tool that monitors RSS. Its also trainable so you can filter at a broad level. I seed a topic with a few keywords and then start giving it feedback, pretty soon I have a feed with boundaries based on my interest. amazing, checkitout at eyeout.com.

  2. Re:Costing the U.S. economy? on NIST Estimates Sloppy Coding Costs $60 Billion/Year · · Score: 1

    world war two pulled us out of the great depression. there were a lot of "broken windows" in germany. its not a falicy, it should be called the broken window phenomenon.

  3. cops are good and bad on Alternatives to the CBDTPA? · · Score: 1

    i'm all about trading music, but i'm not all about my mailbox being full of spam. maybe its good to let the control freaks come in and bully us a little, and maybe the spammers a lot.

  4. excellent on Copyright Claimed on Telephone Tones · · Score: 1

    now, i'm ok with not calling my house, but you can be sure that the next time i get a call from a tele-marketer, i'll ask to make sure they've cleared usage with magnus-opus before dailing.

  5. Re:Numbers don't mean squat... on Where is Largest Linux Desktop Install? · · Score: 1

    > Numbers don't mean squat... whats better, mac or windows? ha, trick question - answer is: it doesnt matter, no one uses a mac. and thats why everyone uses windows (circular reasoning goes very very far in the business world)

  6. absolute on Salon Goes For Annoying Jump-Through Ads · · Score: 1

    > companies that run Web ads are probably as interested in ads that people don't hate

    i used to use absolute telnet. it made me believe in adware. it was a good program and i didnt mind the banners. but there were a couple ads that made it difficult to work. one had a flashing neon background. it was really hard to type in the console while it was flashing. i wrote them and complained... no reply.

  7. same team!!! on Philip Zimmermann and 'Guilt' Over PGP · · Score: 1

    i've been really unimpressed with how many members of the media are handling this. the washington post story is way more interesting than it would have been without the 'twist' this was from people.com today - "Although the secretary declined to identify locations of the troops, Reuters cited defense officials as saying that they were in and near the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan. " - i personally dont need to know this and clearly its in our advantage to limit information like this. its a good thing people magazine has such low distribution in afghanistan.

  8. Re:Telephone? on E-mail Overload: Welcome Back to School · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i send email when i'd like to get a response soon. i send an IM when i want a response sooner. the most immediate needs are dealt with on the phone.
