    seven? i'd like to see that in writing. most of the figures i've seen are more in the five-ish area.

  3. the problem with these laws on Meet the Spammers · · Score: 0

    is that most of these spammers bounce all the spam off of international isp's and such. trying to govern all that would be nightmareish.

  4. Re:Basic math on Meet the Spammers · · Score: 0

    maybe instead of trying to get around filters of people who use filters because they won't participate in spam, they should just ignore it and send spam to the people who might actually use the "products" indorsed by the spam? eh?

  5. Spy ware in our tv's! hurrah! on Nielsen to measure TiVo usage · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    its about time that we have spyware in our tv's! next maybe we'll get it in our cell phones and radios.

    the point he was making was that it would be bad for society, not him. It wouldn't matter if he used his phone or not, its the rest of america that is.

  8. Re:Error in article on The Economist Looks At The Console Industry · · Score: 0

    a lot of people (including M$) call xbox a 256 bit constole.
    I wonder when people will realize that "bits" are a highly inaccurate way of classifying consoles. They should be talking about processors and video ram and stuff like that.

    I mean, if Game Boy advanced is 32bit, and so is xbox, you'd think people would figure out that they should find a new system of classification.

    Hey man, you know that xbox 2 will have 40,000 megawintons of fun! Included in the box!

    Exclusive games? Better graphics? Hdtv support? They don't crash? They don't make you use windows? Cheaper? They don't require upgrades every 2 years?
    theres more reasons, but the simpsons is on.

    Can't you just sing the song yourself? Or make a clone of yourself to sing the song to you?

    I just patented patenting. Anyone who wants to patent anything must pay me. Ha.

    ever heard of subways? those stops are usually very close toghether. not many people complain about its impracticallity. and it will probably be expanded in the future.
    and anyways, when i said practical, i meant that it was able to be used for something.

  16. I agree on Are Written Computer Science Exams a Fair Measure? · · Score: 0

    Writing code on paper is definitely not the same as using the old keyboard. Its kind of rediculous that they would make you code on paper, actually.

    This has been done before. I even saw it on McGuyver.
    It is cool though, cheap gbs and all. I wonder how accurate it is?

  23. BNL did this about 2 years ago on Spoofing P2P Networks as Marketing Plot · · Score: 0

    The bare naked ladies did this almost 2 years ago when people were still using something called "napster". They uploaded songs that would have the first 20 seconds of the real track, and then say stuff like "now go buy the real album" and then have silence for a while. This isn't really a new strategy of artists.

  24. Re:Searching... on Spoofing P2P Networks as Marketing Plot · · Score: 0

    Actually, you would be surprised how many corrupted files people leave on their hard drives on audiogalaxy and kazaa. Most people who use those aren't of the technical caliber of, oh, say a piece of foam, and never delete anything.

    Their will be a gamecube to gba hook-up, and you might be able to play gba games through your gamecube if you have one, but if you don't have a gamecube, you might be out of luck.
