  1. https urls? on Hotel Connectivity Provider SuperClick Tracks You · · Score: 1

    How do they do that? From what I understood all that a man in the middle could see was the host ip address as everything else is authenticated/encrypted. Or else you would get a security warning upon visiting the page.

  2. Conspiracy ;) on Librarians Stake Their Future on OSS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Did you notice that the "Georgia Public Library Service" uses the acronym GPLS, is this a coincidence that it is like the plural form of GPL? I wonder if RMS has a library card there.

  3. Re:It would only be a good porn domain... on A Brief History of 'sex.com' · · Score: 1

    you could, most browsers will add in the .com for you and sex is all on the left

  4. Re:Good idea, but... on Google Updates AdSense Rules, Still Working on Radio · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think that Google would make more money. They make more when advertisers believe that the click through's are from prospective/interested buyers. If there is a perception that the clicks are generally not legit or that enough of them are illegitimate, the advertisers will buy and pay less.

  5. I wonder if this has to do with BSE on Emissions of Key Greenhouse Gas Stabilize · · Score: 1

    Seriously, with the North American BSE scare, how many cows where destroyed or not bread that would have been? Cows are a major producer of methane and there are lots of them.

  6. Just goes to prove.. on Purdue Streams a Movie At 7.5Gb/sec · · Score: 3, Funny

    This just proves that porn really is the driving factor in Internet growth. Cells are the basic building blocks of people and people are what make (most) porn, porn.

  9. Why is this bad? on The Dark Side of the PlayStation 3 Launch · · Score: 1

    Why is this bad? A homeless man just made 180 bucks and someone gets a PS3 and doesn't have to wait in line to get one. Yes they will pay more but if you don't want to wait until February when the stores start dropping prices, too bad.

  10. Amazon referer on Advanced Data Structures? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much he is making from refering the books on amazon (4% of X sales from slashdotting) ?

    Good idea, wish I thought of it first.

    2^4-1 = 15 = 3*5 Not prime

  12. So when am I really responsible for my own actions on Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK · · Score: 1

    The problem with laws like this is that it implies that people are incapable of seeing graphic events without becoming part of them, and are not responsible for their own actions. It is like if I saw someone murder someone on tv, that will make me a murderer. There will always be people who are sick and easily corruptable. They are not the majority and we should not be held responsible for their actions. They have hospitals and jails for people like that.

    This stuff isn't for me, but why should I prevent others from seeing it as long as current laws(rape,murder...) are abided by. Also, where does the line between voilent and rough get drawn?

  13. I guess this would make Kenny... on Poker Driving Artificial Intelligence Research · · Score: 1

    I guess this would make Kenny Rogers a master of LISP and AI

    You have to know when to hold them

    Maybe he is a poker bot

  14. It is flawed on Are Liquid Explosives on a Plane Feasible? · · Score: 1

    The author makes the assumption that the terrorists need to use the explosive to blow up the plane or they where trying to. Why not just produce poison gasses or if an explosion is the desired result blow up the door to the cockpit and take the plane down. There are many more easily achieved results that would cause terror to the crew and passengers.

  15. One way to get the game before it's release on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1

  16. new movie title on Fear of Snakes May Have Driven Pre-Human Evolution · · Score: 0

  17. Didn't FarCry do this? on What if Game Graphics Never Aged? · · Score: 1

    FarCry has been upgrading the graphics for some time now just by changing the engine to support newer graphics chipsets.

    Have you seen all the spy movies. They are listening to your calls ;)

  19. This is awesome on A Pacemaker Made From Your Own Cells · · Score: 5, Informative

    This will be a great help to those with actual pacemakers if they can use this. Currently if you have a pacemaker, diagnostic equipment like MRI are not available as the magnettic forces can move the wires and cause other weird things to happen.

  20. Britney Spears said it best on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    I think this apathy can be summed up by Britney Spears:

    "Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes and should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens."

    With faith in your government like that, you do not question anything as it is a balance between what colour lipstick matches the new SUV and having personal privacy.

  21. There is a easy to do/hard to live with solution on FCC Backs a Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    The content providers and websites should use something like rbl to blacklist ISP who implement this. When enough sites do so, the ISP will have no choice when the customers take their business elsewhere. Help the market decide. This will suck for the clients who cannot get what they want, but they will complain when face with a message from numerous sites stating that their ISP is broken.

  22. Re:Is that for real? on UK Demands Sourcecode for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    It's more like building the tv with the neighbour, buying it off him, and then he withholds the remote for 20 days when you need to change the channel.

  23. He should have his credit card decline payment. on Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    They did not deliver a service that he paid for via credit card and will not respond to him. So he should have his credit card return the 300 euros he paid. Hit Blizzard where it hurts, they're pocket book.

  24. Re:I remember the 1950s. on New Nuclear Power Plants in the next 5 years · · Score: 1

    Chernobyl wasn't like the North American reactors. If you remove the water in a US style or Canadian style reactor the reaction stops. Chernobyl, on the other hand, when the water is removed the reaction will accelerate to a meltdown.

  25. I like the press release from Oracle on Oracle Acquires Sleepycat · · Score: 1

    ..."projects such as the Linux and BSD UNIX operating systems, Apache web server, OpenLDAP directory, OpenOffice productivity software, and many others embed Berkeley DB technology."

    Apparently Linux has BDB embedded in it somewhere ;) I didn't realize that the Linux kernel had Sleepycat source code in it. Maybe SCO would like to know about that too.
