  1. Re:Stop pushing GE on other countries on Starving Nation Turns Down Bioengineered Corn · · Score: 1

    Dunno but if their GM stuff got crossed with my crops I'd sue the living sh!t outa them for releasing their GM diesease into the atmosphere and onto my crops. WTF are they thinking? I'm supposed to be their lab rat now and test their abomination on myself and my cattle???

  2. How about SPAM==DoS... any takers? on Collateral Damage in the Spam War · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if there are any laws against DoS but I'm sure people have been prosecuted for it already. And as far as I'm concerned if my mailbox gets full of spam while I'm away and my account is closed, I can accurately claim that my email account has been DoS'ed by any definition of a DoS attack. It's true that the perpetrators are ipossible to find and sue (overseas), but each piece of spam comes with a link or telephone number identifying the company that paid the spammer to do what he did. Now if you knowingly buy a stolen item you're going to jail because you effectively paid the thief to steal it for you. Then why isn't anyone suing the companies linked in spam for knowingly and directly financing a global DoS attack on everyone's email accounts, even though someone else is executing it (the thief)?

  4. Please, someone must help me... on Freaky Flash 6 Fishy Features · · Score: 1
    I will not install Flash 6, period.

    Now, could someone please tell me there is a way to set up IE 6 so that it won't pop up a message window every time I load a page up that uses Flash 6?

    The Security option that seems to deal with it is "Download signed ActiveX controls". It has 3 settings: Enable (I won't), Disable (pops up a message that the page can't be displayed properly), and Prompt (prompts me to install it).

    Well, if you help me I'll reward you with removing Flash 6 from my most hated software list.

  6. Can some Flash lover please... on Will Flash Be Taken Off The Shelf? · · Score: 1
    ...explain me how I can set up Internet Explorer so it doesn't pop up between 1 and infinite number of windows asking me to dl and install Flash 6 (which I won't) on every page that uses it? There are three options dealing with this issue in the Security Settings, under "Download signed ActiveX controls". They are: "Enable" (which would just do it), "Prompt" (pops up 1 or more windows asking for permission to install), and "Disable" (pops up one or more warnings telling me the page can't be displayed properly since this thing is disabled).

    If you succeed in this endeavor then I will revard you with removing Flash 6 from my most hated software list.
