  1. Re:Easy way to massively improve fuel consumption on Simple Device Claimed To Boost Fuel Efficiency By Up To 20% · · Score: 1

    A vacuum gauge will do this and can be installed on most cars and trucks. Just have to mark the dial with some green and red areas for those who don't read numbers.

  2. Re:ban images? on Spam Doubles, Finding New Ways to Deliver Itself · · Score: 1

    Images are essential as someone else has stated but should be sent as attachments, not content. Between midnight and 6 am, I received 143 emails, 3 non-delivery notices, 41 apparently viral content and 99 real spam. All of the spam and viral messages are html and contained images. Each of the 99 spam are touting a legitimate company or product.

    First, why do normal users need to use html? Stop using html, this is supposed to be communication, not a web page. How many people draw pictures in letters they write using pen and paper? Use text only and allow attachments. Virus checkers can easily spot any problem files and delete them or they can be removed at the ISP level.

    Second, why not go after anybody listed as the seller or manufacturer of the product advertised? Fines + jail time = no spam. Companies, their officers and employees should be held accountable for the advertisers they hire. This could be a contractual stipulation then if the agency hired a spammer, the agency would be held accountable. The spammer should still be included in any prosecution. Claiming ignorance that you hired a spammer is, as in most other legal situations, no excuse.

    Then give the spammer the electric chair or maybe waterboarding, then a public hanging. No spammer = no spam.

  3. Re:Two words on Appeals Circuit Ruling: ISPs Can Read E-Mail · · Score: 1
    I see nothing wrong with this. You are paying the provider to use their mail server. You are storing your mail on THEIR machines.

    IANAL but I would argue that, at least in the case of POP, the ISP's servers are just a holding area for delayed email delivery, not storage, and constitute a continuation of the delivery process. That is unless the user chooses to have the email held but that is a choice which is deliberately made by the user. This is like saying that the USPO workers may look at your postal mail during the time you have it in your box at the post office before you physically remove it.

  4. Re:Hey, HIRE it done. on Building a Better Office · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is the way to go if you have the budget. Using a professional for the office is just like using a professional coder for software. That person will have the skills to do it right. They'll think of things you won't. This is especially true the larger the office. Design Perspectives has done a couple of offices for us and their results were much better than ours and actually the cost was less considering the amount time it took us.

  5. Re:Air America Radio on Interesting Tech-Related Online Talk Radio? · · Score: 1

    It appears that the 60+% of the US population which gets its news from Fox is well represented on /. Disappointing. Anyone who thinks the mainstream media, including NPR, is "liberal" isn't paying attention. Before you decide to flame me, you might want to have a look at some actual facts instead of O'Reilly factors. Use Google, you'll find many more without getting into opinion articles which of course go both directions. And just as a disclaimer, I'm a Republican, just not a neocon. ABB..
