  1. Re:Mail readers. on Microsoft Going After Hotmail Spammers · · Score: 1

    Do your really think spammers check the accounts they send from?

  2. Re:That's a bit cold... on Interesting Privacy Decision in New Hampshire · · Score: 0

    No, he said "Now perhaps you can sue the spyware companies". Most spyware, although annoying, is not lethal to little sister.

  3. That's a bit cold... on Interesting Privacy Decision in New Hampshire · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Someone's been murdered and you're all smiles because you can go after some guys who send adds to your computer.

  4. Antitrust on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I've always antitrust was very good. No silly interfaces, stunts or anything.

  5. Re:Yeah on Record Label Thrives Selling CDRs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are refering to old, out of press albums. Setting up to press a CD is very expensive. Pulling the tracks out of a digital archive wanted by a customer and burning one CD is cheap (they're selling for $19.95 remember) compared to setting up a press.

  6. Ba Ba Ba.... on Baby Bell Deregulation Bill Fails To Pass In Kansas · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...Ba Baby Bells!

  7. Re:Sometimes a knife is a better tool . . . on Joltage Powers Down · · Score: 1

    Yeah! And the day my car tells me where to drive is the day I start walking!

    Oh... actually that day is here... and it's useful.

  8. Screenshots of the inside? on Multimedia Home Entertainment System for Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    We call screenshots of real things "photographs".

  9. Re:League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Trailer · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    An American writing about Victorian England? Oh dear...

    I hope it isn't all "Awright mate! Ow's the misses?" and "We really hit that bad guy for six"

  10. Is this THE League of Gentlemen? on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Trailer · · Score: 1

    As in the BBC?

  11. Re:Good for Smalltalk users on New S# Language - Smalltalk for .Net · · Score: 1

    Multiple interface inheritance is allowed in managed. I think multiple code inheritance is only not allowed in C#, but if you did it in ILASM you could.

  12. Cooking? on A Tale in the Desert · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Cooking
    The long awaited cooking comes to ATITD. Food created can increase, or decrease stats."

    People have been waiting for a cooking module? Cooking? COOKING?

  13. Re:Taking So Very Long on Plex86 Lives, As Lightweight VM Technology · · Score: 1

    Do people really run _servers_ in VMs?

  14. Re:The site looks fake.. on Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama going Hollywood? · · Score: 1

    Well, it looks like Freeman himself did the graphics. Perhaps he should have hired an artist like you describe.

  15. Re:The site looks fake.. on Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama going Hollywood? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And what's more, slide 3 says it will be out "christmas 2003" and slide 6 says "october 2004". This must be bollocks.

  16. The site looks fake.. on Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama going Hollywood? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Am I the only one who thinks the site looks like a fake? Hardly a typical movie site - complete with clip art navigation buttons and cheap looking posters.

  17. Re:GCC on Open Watcom 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm looking at the program folder now and it includes the C++ compiler which compiles to native and .NET managed.

  18. Re:ENOUGH on Corporate Espionage Leads To Faulty Motherboards · · Score: 1

    I live in Winchester in England, but that won't stop me from getting to you.

  19. Re:ENOUGH on Corporate Espionage Leads To Faulty Motherboards · · Score: 1

    We've already crapping discussed it twice!!! What more is there to say!!!

  20. What the fuck? on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 1

    If you're paying for it and it's and "official recording of the concert" - emphasis on "official" - then how the fuck is this piracy? Sheesh!

  21. Re:Underwood? on Why Users Hate IT Products and Developers · · Score: 1

    I think he would say that he was trapped, and forced to use a particular system.

  22. Only "commercial software systems"? on Why Users Hate IT Products and Developers · · Score: -1, Troll

    Notice how bfwebsite says "commercial software systems", and so quietly suggests that free software is nothing to do with this, and actually quite usable. It wouldn't be /. without unnecessarily bias news reporting.

  23. Reminds me of a Bristol University demo on Mid-Air Messages To Your Mobile · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was at Bristol late last year at an undergrad open day and they had a system very like this - they might have something to do with it. The user had a jacket with a GPS system so things like directions to the nearest station could be done with no location input from the user. The had a cool extra though, a sensor in the arm allowed the system to see where a user pointed. With the location info this could be translated to a landmark et cetera, and informtion on that could be sent to the user. I say it was a "demo" but more description than hardware.

  24. Re:Most. Tenuous. Connection. Evar. on The J.R.R. Tolkien of the Web · · Score: 1

    They both went to Oxford and I think they were both at Exeter college (Tolkein read English or classics, Bernard-Lee read physics)

  25. Already retired on Lifetime Careers in IT? · · Score: 1

    Have any slashdot readers already retired after a long and successful career in IT?
