  1. Try telling dump admins in sth korea that.... on Spam Volume Jumps 35% In November · · Score: 1

    Its one thing to do that, but theres a lot of stupid admins that have no clue
    around the world. Yes, their upstream major ISP should terminate their pipe if spam is known to be coming from them
    or drop their pipe to 64kbps so they will NOTICE the spam.

    An important feature that is used by the spammers to verify that the email has been sent and read is external
    images, if you completely block those they cannot use the servers statistics/unique session id to figure out
    which mails worked or didnt.

    2. Use those remote image location to flood their session stats and pollute their databases and tell their ISPs to drop them too.

  4. Re:This is sad ... on Hans Reiser to Sell Company · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you win against the govt criminal charges, isnt the govt required to pay all YOUR costs and compensate you for the hassel?

    After all, if YOU LOOSE, you have to pay the government court costs.

    I know its like this for small petty charges in au, or is USA run by evil lawyers?

  6. I never found that to be the case.... on Wiimote Straps Result in Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    I could always from 5 different coffee retailers drink their coffee while I walked with in 3 minutes of purchase, and mcDonalds,
    well I hate to sit there waiting 25mins till I could drink it.

    Technically, the REAL coffee places use MORE milk volume which cools down faster, and has more volume of h20 to absorbe the heat, and
    their cups are larger perhaps also absorbing more heat. Starbucks coffee cups are thicker too.

    McDonalds coffee uses less volume, perhaps 225ml, so theres more hot coffee to milk ratio there.

    Can any coffee maker cafe shop workers explain better? Can we get Myth Busters to do this one?

  7. Their coffee IS TOO HOT on Wiimote Straps Result in Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    When its takes 25 mins to cool down to drinkable levels from venues temperature, theres something wrong.
    When you cannot even hold the cup its really wrong.

    When you can go to a real coffee shop and sip at it right away its good.

    Either McDonolds do not know how to make coffee or their staff are dumb as turds dont read machine
    instructions.

  8. Have showers with your clothes on!!! on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dude, just have a shower with your cloths on, get 100% wet, take them off, and hand wrince them dry.

    Place them on a clothes rack and they will dry indoors in hours.

    1) no washer needed, just uses soap from shower
    2) no dryer needed, all natural
    3) you wash in FIFO order, not 5 days worth at a time.
    4) you save water
    5) its dry by the morning to wear again, so you only need 2 pairs of everything at most

  9. #11 Ipod drive emulator for all mp3 players on 10 Tech Concepts You Should Know for 2007 · · Score: 1

    So we can then use any mp3 player out there with itunes.

    This would be killed faster than you can eat an apple, and a new itunes would probably be released to detect it, but it could be done if you emulated
    an older ipod 100% and remapped its HD to the other imposter mp3 player.

    Any one got a dump of IDE/USB traffic dumps from itunes when it talks to the ipod?

  10. Real kingpins use gold not FDRs on Melting Coins Now Illegal In the U.S. · · Score: 1

    All those movies showing cash suit cases are so funny.

    Money is hard to use in large quantities, its all serializes too.

    A 1000ounce bar = $650000 = 31Kg

    So 3 bars is nearly 2 million dollars, or 100Kg, yeah not quite easy to carry, but at least you can put it on a little old ladies shopping trolly.

    And guess what.... customs usually has no taxes duties or restrictions if you are transporting gold, but carry cash, and your toast.

  12. 7.02 is better on iTunes Sales 'Collapsing' · · Score: 1

    But I hoped they sacked the coders responsible for 7.00 , it was crap as dog poo. Darn slow as hell, it often skipped, and I dont care if its
    a 24bit/16bit issue or wrong directsound output setting, YOUR CODE SHOULD WORK, and at least know which setting is more likely to work. DOes
    apple only test this stuff under XP running on MacBooks? Winamp was always fast, even on a 300mhz machine, maybe apple should use that as a
    bench mark. I think the latest one uses directx, but jeez it took a while for them to get that far, ofcourse if you are going to use totally
    custom GUI controls, dont use GDI with overides to win32 controls, it'll be slow if you are not an experience programmer >5yrs win32.

    if it is such a favourite, then why is it in the celler, most people have their cds in a stack either in the bedroom or lounge room.

    Dude, have you ever had a $2 mcCafe coffee?

    Even if the air temp is a normal 70f, the damn coffee is like 92c. I couldnt damn well drink it for 25 mins, what is it with the damn boiling point coffee, is it
    to hide their crap beans? Go to any real coffee place and its drinkable with in 2 minutes, but still very warm, but not 3rd degree HOT!!!!

    I guess real coffee places use 60%-80% milk, where Mcs use 25% milk and 50% hot water, and 25% coffee.

  16. They will offer 60/100gig next year on Fallout From the November Console Wars · · Score: 1

    .... at DOUBLE the retail price of a 100gig SATA drive, because you know
    that plastic casing and special format costs SOOOO much and not to mention the retail margins at the shop.

    When Mr Microsoft could get a damn CLUE, and sell a $19 DISK to reformat ANY replaced HD. This would make them
    an instant $18.99 profit. Or let people go to 120/150 when the get released.

    "Call Center makes you insane....Verizon Wireless Call Center Job"
    http://www.aboutmyjob.com/main.php3/main.php3/a256 7.html

    Working for Verizon Wireless in their call center was the best because of the money and benefits, then you start to realize that money isn't everything. Taking calls from customers where they blame you for the mistakes on their bill, or the highcost of their bill is also your fault, it's your fault when they damage their phone an they don't have insurance, it's your fault when they can't even operate their phone.

    Then there are stats where you, the expert have to get the customer off the phone in 6 min, ask the customer how the weather is, and how their day is going, like the customer cares. You work in teams of about 10 people where your stats are to be better than other teams, how is that possible when everyone on your team is stressed out and taking off work to see their shrink because the callers really get to you?

    Then you get a supervisor who knows nothing about what is going on with price plans or the types of cell phones there are out there, then yell at you because you came to her for help. The VZW hr is just as blind. Too many peole I knew were fired while still on medical leave for seeing a shrink, and right before they were able to sign up for long term disablilty, their 1 yr anniversary, how do they do that to employees and still sleep at night. Their training is suppossed to be top notch, they put you in a 5 week training course and blow through the information before you can ask what you just learned. Then when you get to the phones, the course is changed all over again. Some people enjoy being cussed at and made to look stupid in front of others, money isn't everything and if you already are insane then this is the job for you.

  19. Italian pizza shop sells 2x price in GBP on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 1

    I was in a nice and not expensive italian pizza cafe, the large pizzas (thin and plain 2 toppings at most), were about 8euro or so each, so that was
    close enough to back home prices I thought cool. They noted on the side prices in British Pounds, at 14 pounds which equated to about 25 euros. Man
    those italians either were bad at math, or hated the british or the british were dumb enough to pay 14pounds.

  22. Has MS admitted to killing chipped xboxes? well? on Microsoft Sued Over Fall Update Issues · · Score: 2, Informative

    1. this happens to brand new out of store machines, no chipping.
    2. any chip mods done, are virtually undetectable, because the new rom has a shadow original rom running too, so I dont know
    how MS plans to detect that, unless they try to detect the presense of a larger address space or different IO reads to the rom.
    3. This could be just a stupid timing bug, not the first time MS has made software errors, but yeah they should have a fail safe
    system, and NOT kill xbox, I thought they would do the same as the original and only block you from LIVE, not kill your xbox.

    Has MS really claimed their aim was to KILL chipped xboxs?
