  1. Re:Two words why I'll never buy a NYT subscription on NYTimes Unveils Online Subscription Plan · · Score: 1

    I have two more: Shirley Christian. She was to Central America in the 1980s what Judith Miller was to Iraq, mutatis mutandis. Complete lies running on the front page of the New York Times under her byline, fed to her directly by the Reagan Adminstration, with thousands of deaths in their wake. Newspaper of record, indeed.

  2. Re:That's the last thing we need! on AT&T Invents Surveillance Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Absolutely right. The rack comes later.

  3. Re:Black Hat crimes on Anti-Phishers Pose as Phishers to Make Point · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between "crime" and "harm," both of which are "wrongs," but of very different sorts. The question is: Is your chief concern the letter of the law (assuming this exercise really does involve "exactly the same crime as a real exploit," which is doubtful)? Or is it the potential damage from (a) phishing-based fraud and other exploits, and (b) credulous "just-following-orders" cadets who may wind up testing the definition of torture in some future Guantanamo?

  4. I've already installed... on Fake Microsoft Patch Triggers Virus Attack · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...a cumulative patch for Windows. It's called Mac OS X.

    Spend its money on palaces while children starve


    Which could never happen here.

  6. Re:The Sexual Rage behind Islamic Terrorism on Virginia Tech Uses Computerized Knee Brace for Rehab · · Score: 1

    Well, that explains the knee injury. But what does this have to do with my Everquest addiction?

  7. "San Francisco inventor" unmasked on E-Mail Patent Roundup From The NYT · · Score: 1

    Last time I looked, the "San Francisco inventor, Sunil Paul" was also chairman and co-founder of Brightmail, which has been executing on patent 6,052,709 for quite some time. Brightmail also hosted Spam Summit 2000 in Washington, DC last May.

  8. Article on Helix Code and GNOME on Helix Code Launched, Gnome Packages Available · · Score: 2

    If you want to read more about this, there's a story running concurrently on Wide Open News and sendmail.net that went live at 4:15 this morning. The gist of the story (from the sendmail.net front door): "The new GNOME binaries Helix Code rolled out today are the red carpet that its first application product, an HTML-capable email client called Evolution, will step onto in a few weeks. If users like what they see, it could be Helix Code that puts Linux on the consumer desktop. Paul Boutin spoke with Miguel de Icaza and Nat Friedman about it." Quotable quote (from Nat): "We plan to wipe Microsoft Outlook off the desktop."

  9. Re:Bald! on Gates Steps Down As CEO, Ballmer In · · Score: 2

    Coming soon: miniBallmer! ("You complete me.")

  10. Re: 2 or 3 decades of the net??? [accuracy] on Jesux is a Bad Pun · · Score: 1

    From the bio of the article's author on the Sm@rt Reseller masthead: "He currently is chairman of the Internet Press Guild, a group devoted to promoting accurate Internet reporting."
