    It sucks, but, now I get zero spam.
    Surprisingly, most people were smart enough to update their address books.
    For buying stuff online, I use a hotmail account. I go in and toggle the exclusive spam filter on and off when the product is on order or shipping. Works great!

  6. Re:Gross on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 1

    "It's funny how humans have lived on a staple of grains, rice, potatoes for thousands of years..."

    ok, but how much has the human body changed in the past, say 6000 years? I really doubt that much. It definitely isn't designed to eat box meals made up of processed grain. The human body is by design an omnivore. Our eyes look forward, therefore we eat meat. We have canines for tearing into meat. We have molars for crunching berries, fruits, grains, and greens. I think the Atkins diet is probably much more natural to the body than others. What the hell do you think fruit looked like 6000 years ago? You think there were fruit trees just bursting with fruit everywhere? No, the descendants of today's fruit/grain is a very far cry from what they were then. Domesticated food supplies are a much different than they were when the human body was evolving.

    I have been on this for 5 weeks and have lost 20 lbs.
    I dont have the cravings liek I used to either. Also, I don't have the period in the afternoon when I feel sleepy like I used to.

  10. Re:used webmin for years on Managing Linux Systems With Webmin · · Score: 1

    setup ssh to run on an unused port that your comapny allows. for example, here where I work they blocked port 22 (ssh), so I reconfiged one of my servers to run ssh on an open port(port 1723,pptp-vpn)
    then i use that server t oconnect to my other servers I admin...works pretty slick. heck take and old x86 box and through a min. install of your favorite linux and enable ssh on port 80 (make sure apache is turned off)

  20. sueing grandma on 2191.78 Years for the RIAA to Sue Everyone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I hope they realize that about %60 of the people have no idea they're sharing mps's. When I used to do cable installs I would ask the customer if they wanted to leave kazaa running. Most of the responses would be "whats that? oh my nephew/kid/grandkid installed that last summer." so they installed it then downloaded some music, then they go home leaving a nice little sharepoint of mp3s.

    What happens when this happens to a big fish? A technically clueless senator's nephew installs kazaa on their computer and it runs for 6 months and then THEY get sued!!! One can only hope...
