  1. Re:Here's the thing... on More Delays for Ender Movie · · Score: 1

    Speaker for the Dead was by far the best of the series, even better than Ender's Game.

  2. Why Red Hat? on Jobs Offers Free Mac OS X For $100 Laptops · · Score: 1

    Why not go with a completely free Linux distro like Debian instead of a commercial one?

  3. Re:i hate games on Coding and Roleplaying - Is There a Connection? · · Score: 1

    Same here. They're a waste of time.

  4. I ban Chinese IP space on Blocking a Nation's IP Space · · Score: 1

    I attempt to ban Chinese ISPs from my website. Since nobody in China uses Macs, they have no reason to visit my site except to post comment spam. Right now I just block a specific ISP when one of their people posts spam. It would be nice if I could block all of China.

  5. Re:Parental Controls?! on Getting A Handle On Vista · · Score: 1

    Tiger already has it. You can apply parental control to any non-administrator account.

  6. Good on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see more spammers get killed. Spamming should be punishable by death.

  7. Worst movie ever made on Public Domain from Outer Space · · Score: 1

    "Manos: the Hands of Fate" Nothing else even comes close. It's truly painful to watch.

  8. interesting effect on Internet to Pakistan Goes Down · · Score: 1

    That probably explains why I got a bit less spam than usual today.

  9. Spamming should be punishable by death on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let's put a few big-time spammers to death, just to use them as an example and scare away some of the others.

  10. Random phishing scams on How the Phishing Biz Works · · Score: 1

    Every phishing scam I've received has been either for a bank or service I've never used or sent to an account I've never used for the service in question. I rarely use eBay and when I do, I use an email address I reserve for that purpose only. I've never received a phishing email at that address, but I receive at least 10 a week at addresses I've never used at eBay. Same thing for PayPal. I've also received many for banks I've never heard of. At least they could try to target the scams a little better, like sending one for a service I actually use and to the email address I use for that service.

  11. Not for me on Britney is #1 Virus Celebrity · · Score: 1

    Since I hate Britney so intensely, I wouldn't click on it.

  12. Intel != CPU on Apple to Use Intel Chips? · · Score: 1

    Remember, Intel makes a lot of other chips besides CPUs. Maybe Apple is interested in their ethernet controller, WiFi, audio, bluetooth, or other support chips.

  13. Yawn on Google Might Disappear in Five Years · · Score: 1

    Typical Microsoft FUD. This sounds a lot like monkeyboy's remarks about the iPod & Tiger.

  14. Flawed? on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No scientist has disputed evolution. The only people who consider it flawed and dispute it are those who feel that evolution conflicts with their religious beliefs and refuses to reconsider those beliefs.

  15. Re:Missed economic opportunities here? on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: 1

    There are some non-evil Christian churches that welcome gays.

  16. Re:this is crap on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: 1

    In other words it's OK for straight people to talk about their girlfriend and have pictures of their family around their desk. Straight people flaunt their sexuality every day, but if a gay person did the same, it's wrong.

  17. Can we request that they block a site? on Study Shows China Tightens Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    I wish they'd block my sites, so I wouldn't have to deal with comment spam from China. I end up blocking almost all Chinese ISPs in my .htaccess every time someone there spams me. It would save me a lot of work if they simply added my sites to their block list.

  18. Re:No one thinks of the simple problems on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1

    Get a USB hub. Very few computers have more than two USB ports, so you're expected to use a hub. Also, Apple's USB keyboards have a built in hub, so you connect the mouse to the keyboard instead of the second USB port.

  19. Re:Netcraft? on Comment Spams Straining Servers Running MT · · Score: 1

    Almost every Drupal site has been hit with those spams. See the discussion at drupal.org. They seem to look for random low numbered nodes and add the comment to them. Using the spam module, closing comments on all but the most recent nodes, and adding a deny for their user agent eliminated all of them on both of my Drupal sites.

  20. Not tough enough on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1

    I'm a strong believer in the death penalty for spammers.

  21. I hate popups on Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers · · Score: 1

    I NEVER want any kind of notifier popup on my screen. I'd rather have an unobtrusive little indicator on the menu bar or dock.

  22. Re:Well on Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers · · Score: 1

    If they're going to block third party notifiers, they better provide their own for Mac OS X & Linux. I want to have my message count in my menu bar, as I do with GmailStatus.

  23. Google Bomb on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't a google bomb be more fun & more effective, like the ones they've done to democratic candidates.

  24. Manos on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    "Manos" is the most putrid movie I've ever seen, but "Armageddon" is by far the worst movie I've ever paid to see. I still regret the two hours I wasted in the theater watching it.

  25. Wilton Manors, FL on Nation's First City-Wide WiFi Network Completed · · Score: 1

    They're also planning city wide WiFi in Wilton Manors, FL (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/sf l-cwireless01feb01,0,3650838.story). There are already several hot spots in the city, which is only 2.5 mile square.
