  1. Re:Five Words for You on U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Resigns · · Score: 1

    Exactly why I voted for Bush.

  2. The first american hybrid? on Ford Launches First American Hybrid · · Score: 4, Informative

    I believe this is the first:

    2005 Chevy Silverado Hybrid
  3. Re:Isn't it the case? on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    It is illegal for individuals to make non-excempt modifications on a road driven vehicle in California. Even if you make your own parts.

  4. Re:Isn't it the case? on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    Any modification which affects the drivetrain must have an exemption order on file with the California Air Resource Board. The number of this order must be visible on the parts which are installed.

    Because of the high cost of the exemption, most small aftermarket companies are unable to offer products in California.

  5. Re:Driving Styles on Can Your Car Get 1,700 MPG? · · Score: 1

    This is known as binary throttle and braking. It is the proper technique for driving a rental car.

    Kids these days...

  7. Re:On second thoughts (retraction) on Confession For Two: A Spammer Spills it All · · Score: 1

    Thanks for your retraction.

    I was planning to mention that automobile manufacturers only make a few hundred dollars per car in profit. They make money for their investors by building a lot of cars.

    I fear no spam.

  9. AOL blocks my list server. on AOL Sued For Over-Zealous Blocking · · Score: 1

    Several months ago AOL blocked the list server I admin from sending to them. We cant seem to get them to unblock it even though it is not an open relay. Most likely one of their customers reported us as UBE because they couldnt figure out how to unsubscribe.

    No big loss for us, the people who really cared about staying on our lists changed ISP's after their complaints to AOL went unheard.

  10. Re:Brightness is relative on Brightest Moon Fallacy · · Score: 1

    I've never heard the one about the Space Shuttle size, but I do believe its plausable that the distance between the rails in the US Standard Rail Gauge was dictacted by a Roman Chariot.

  11. Re:Way to go AOL on Suing the Spammers · · Score: 1

    You dont understand the point I am making. The networks may have an agreement with each other, but I have no agreement with them. *MOST* people have a legal agreement with their internet provider. But certainly not all.

    You really should stop being an elitist asshole.

  12. Re:Wow! A phase of the moon bug! on Brightest Moon Fallacy · · Score: 1

    You are confused on who the newbie is. Look at your user number, then look at mine.

    Karma is one of the reasons I hate the 'new' slashdot. Now days I only check it when someone tells me there is something worth reading.

    Sadly thats not very often.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE +2?

  14. Re:Way to go AOL on Suing the Spammers · · Score: 1

    Now if that isnt a bunch of crap, I dont know what is. I dont agree to anything when my packets get routed across a private network, and they didnt agree to route my packets. No contract is expressed or implied. For a contract to exist there must be *at least* an exchange between the two partys. They give me the use of thier network, but I dont give them anything.

    "And one of the conditions of that agreement, like as not, is that you may not send unsolicited commercial bulk email."

    Exactly where can I read this agreement?

    The reason there is no "simple and straightforward enforcement of voluntary private contracts" is that there is NO contract.

    All this being said. I agree with AOL, because the spammers forged email to look like it was being sent from aol.com. There's a lot of spammers that forge mail from hoser.com too, but I cant do anything about it.

    Legislations will only screw things up, the only way to eliminate spam is for EVERYONE to stop responding to it.

    ps: I dont understand how anyone could possibly moderate your comment up.

    absolutely.

    I heard about this bug last night, its still not fixed. In my mind, apple has already failed.

    no because it would have been. CGI crashes linux. get your fix here.
