  1. Re:actually i've always felt their name's not righ on SpamAssassin 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    There is a problem, though its not with the second word of the name 'Spam Assassin'. The problem is the first word needs to have an 'mer' on the end of it. Then we're talking about the most effective solution for spam that I can think of.

  2. Re:"I equate gambling... on Online Poker Bots Becoming Problematic? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Except that in this case, it's not the house that's losing, it's the other players.

    Online poker works by taking in a 'rake' from each pot, usually around 10% or so. Therefore if a pokerbot can clean out the 9 other people at the table, the casino will still earn the same profit as if those 9 people had just passed around money amoung themselves.

    This is a modified joke from somewhere

    Interviewer: The question is, "What would happen to the *Linux* case, if SCO would turn out to be right on this one?"

    Random Techie: Umm...Linux and the GPL would be finished.

    Interviewer: I'm sorry, the correct answer was "Monkeys will fly out of my ass"

  12. Re:Ran Windows XP on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    Big Deal. I once did that upgrading windows 98 to windows ME. Not a clean install, but an upgrade. It ran for a whole month before it started needing an hourly reboot. Then I threw in the towel.

  13. Re:More Practical Reasons? on No 2.7 Linux Kernel Branch Due Soon · · Score: 1
    I don't think that they're worried about having to go to 3.0. If they wanted to, they could just do 2.8, 2.10, 2.175, etc.

    on the other side of the coin, we'd have to worry about people associating Linux 3.1 with Windows 3.1. And let's not forget 'Linux for Workgroups' 3.11, where they simply rehash 3.1, only they make it actually work.

  19. Along those same lines... on On The Secret Life Of Videogame Voice Actors · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I loved the acting in Star Wars, KotoR. I also loved how Bioware did Neverwinter Nights, particularly the Second Expansion. Aribeth's voice was outstanding, and Honorable mention goes to Mephostopholes, and Valshress, and the Seer. They advoid a lot of the overacting that seems to dominate the fantasy genre, while at the same time they don't sound dull.

    I remember Grimgnaw's voice in the first campaigh, especially his "I know you..." speach, was really creepy - exactly the way you'd expect a Sadistic Dwarf to sound. I also remember going around for a few weeks saying "Takasi! Oh, excuse my elven" in a british accent instead of the usual swearing.

    It's a good thing your ex was able to occupy it like that. I used to have one of those things. By the time we had to get rid of it (We gave him to a sheep farm, where he's happily herding sheep now), he had learned how to open doors, how to bypass the invisible fence, and how to open the cupboard with his food in it. We also suspected he was working on his MSCE on the side (He kept on ripping apart boxes of Microsoft products we put on the book shelves...I wish I was making that up)
