  1. Not all that accurate on Real-time Spam Map · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Subject: Um, the brochure said it was GREEN here
    IP address: 1.2.3.4
    DNS Name: greenland.aintgreen.com
    Location: Greenland
    Emails: lots

    Something tells me they need to rethink their algorithm.

  2. Re:Hey! It's Steve Jobs!! on Real-time Spam Map · · Score: 2, Informative

    From TFA: Spam counts are rounded to the nearest hundred

    There's more, but I'll let you read it yourself.

  3. Re:False advertising guys... on Free 3D Animation DAZ|Studio 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I see:

    1) Chick with big boobs and a huge sword-axe-whatever.
    2) Catwoman, or someone that's supposed to look like catwoman. Sure, she's toned, but her body isn't out of proportion. I see people with similar body types every day.
    3) A skeleton.
    4) A woman in a field. Sure, she's naked, but you can't see anything, and while attractive she's far from OMFGTEHSEXAY!
    5) I think I dated that chick in college.
    6) I never blew that one up because I didn't realize it had a chick body in it. You're right, but I don't see any cleavage.
    7) I know guys with bigger boobs.

  4. Re:Interesting on Earth Departure Movie From MESSENGER Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Anyone who knows what they're talking about care to correct this?

    Sure, I'll correct you. That reflection is the Sun. You can prove it to yourself. Draw a circle on a piect of paper to represent the Earth. Draw a bunch of parallel lines that represent sunlight heading towards your cicrular earth and when they hit the edge, reflect them off at the same angle they hit (We're pretending the Earth is a spherical mirror here). Note that, from the angle of the spaceship, you'll get a bright "hot spot" about where you see one on the images.

    Someone with access to an art program care to draw a diagrom for this? I would, but I'm at work right now.

  5. Re:Scientists were mistaken ? on Evidence Dinosaurs Are Like Giant Chicks · · Score: 1

    I thought science was all but infallible.

    I know. I guess I'll have to give up on science and believe the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Easier, that way.

  6. "Creative" collaboration? on Uwe Boll Spills His Guts · · Score: 1

    So the movie industry has decided to finally collaborate with the video game industry so as to not destroy the feel of the game... With Postal?

  7. Re:she? on The Player's Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    is this intended to mean that women need these things and men dont?

    When writers say 'he' for generic people, do they mean that men need the things and women don't?

  8. Eleven Steps To Go on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    The first step is admitting you were wrong. Now, let's start step 2: Stop doing the thing that's hurting you and your audience.

  9. Re:If you've done nothing wrong... on Chinese Websites Used As Launchpads For Cracking · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'll assume for the moment that you didn't realize my sarcasm when I say:

    I was being sarcastic, and showing one obvious instance where, even if you /do/ believe that statement about the "Good Guys", you'll see why it's flawed anyway.

  10. If you've done nothing wrong... on Chinese Websites Used As Launchpads For Cracking · · Score: 5, Funny

    Then you have nothing to fear from the Chinese knowing all the information the US government has collected on you.

  11. Pkzip mishap on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    Back in the days of the 9600 baud modem (Actually, I still use some of those today, but that's not the point) I sent an approximately 10 meg zipfile of DBFs down to a remote site, maybe 50-100 DBF files in the zip, to replace all the files currently there.

    After the hours it took to send down, I wanted to verify that the zipfile made it, so I figured I'd type 'pkzip -v zipfile.zip' but I forgot to put the '-v' switch. All I typed was 'pkzip zipfile.zip'

    After much swearing, I started the transfer again...

  12. Decisions, Decisions... on Sun Spearheads Open DRM · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... Let me think... I'ts so hard to...

    Object to it on moral grounds.

  13. Re:Good for them! But... on Japanese Musicians Defy Sony by Joining iTunes · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wonder what the contract actually says.

    Bla bla bla... First born child... Bla bla bla... Eternal soul... Bla bla bla... Look, are you gonna sign or not?

  14. Re:Wow... on Games Should Be Like Female Orgasms · · Score: 3, Funny

    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cunniling us

    That has got to be the best place slashdot has ever chopped a url.

  15. Re:Instant gratification on Amazon to Enter the Online DVD Rental Business · · Score: 1

    I think the `being sent a dvd in the post` horizon looms more closely than the `watching a film on your pc monitor` in my country, although perhaps where you live people with broadband connections and 30 inch pc monitors outnumber those with a front door and a dvd player...

    I think the "Not having your TV Hooked up to the ineternet" horizion is closer than either of those.

  16. Re:Oh great on Software Agents Can Help Time-Stressed Teams · · Score: 1

    If you destroy that tank, it won't be there any more! Are you sure you want to destroy that tank? If you still want to destroy the tank, click 'Yes'. If not, click 'No.' Otherwise, click 'Cancel.'

  17. Re:Top left on New Google Homepage Features · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is at the 'top left' here.

    He's talking about the computer 's right.

  18. Re:Unbelievable! on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1

    He was the only one. There can only be one "biggest spammer" (I'm assuming here that he was the biggest one, taking the article on faith there).

    Now that he's gone, of course, there is another "biggest spammer"

    You know what you need to do, Elektra.

  19. Have you heard of Nero? on Help Solve the Mystery of the Pioneer Anomaly · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm not making a joke. Can't they just rip the tapes to a hard drive? This isn't Star Wars where you can't copy the "data tapes" after all.

  20. Re:Thank you Gary on Hacker Gary McKinnon Interviewed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Please don't take offense at me if I voice my inability to believe the word of someone who breaks into military computers to look for evidence of UFOs. "I see people breaking into these comptuers all the time." Was that before or after you were pulled into the mothership and shown the proof that we never landed on the moon?

  21. Anti-Grav? on Hacker Gary McKinnon Interviewed · · Score: 5, Funny

    If he found the plans for anti-gravity, why doesn't he just make some boots or perhaps a belt and leap over the wall? That's what Lex Luthor would do.

  22. I didn't submit this, but if I had... on Pig Sperm in Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    It would have had a funnier headline.

    Pig's... Sperm... In... Spaaaaaaace!

  23. Novel idea? on Band Invites Music Copying · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wow! Too bad Nobody else does this!

  24. Re:Redundancy on PGR3 Achieves Near Photo Realism · · Score: 4, Funny

    They're just saving time and duping the article from the start.

  25. Re:Go away, you're not 21 on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 2, Funny


    Condoms are roughly $1 a piece where I live, that's nothing close to cheap.


    Not to mention that you have to actually talk to the woman sometimes. I mean, I've got UT to play and /. to post on! Now you want me to talk to /you/ as well? And to top it off, I gotta pay a whole dollar to have sex? Man, I'm glad I have a right hand!
