  1. Hmmm on SETI Finds Interesting Signal · · Score: 1

    "There are other oddities. For instance, the signal's frequency is drifting by between eight to 37 hertz per second." I'd say there are oddities, how much is 37 hertz per second anyway?

  2. Re:Combatting spam on Spammers Exploiting Hotmail Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I doubt it would stop spammers, they would continue to send, just creating a huge backlog.

  3. Re:Spam control in Hotmail? Bought a bridge lately on Spammers Exploiting Hotmail Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Informative

    The nice thing about Yahoo also is that they give you a little control of reporting spam too, not that it helps much in legit spam.

  4. Re:I thought this was news for nerds? on Spammers Exploiting Hotmail Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Of course we use hotmail, you want spam filling up one of your accounts on your domain?

  5. Hotmail use on Spammers Exploiting Hotmail Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The best use for hotmail always has been: Use the account only for entering onto forms that require a live email address that info will be sent to immediately in response to the form being filled out. Then beyond that, don't even bother checking, just periodically empty the inbox all at once.

  6. DMCA Question? on Federal Judge Rules Against Reverse-engineering · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is: If you need to have the specifications publicly available for patented inventions, the same sort of rule ought to apply to copyrighted material, so that I can know as I design some piece of software that I am not infringing on someone's copyright simply by wrighting code that matches.

  7. Re:unsporting I say ... on Law Enforcement by Machines · · Score: 1

    Careful with your comparisons, you are comparing 2 different sides of the viewpoint. The hunter who is hunting for sport would object to that style of hunting, but to someone attempting to eradicate all deer, a nuke would do the job nicely. In the case of law enforcement, they are trying to stop all the lawbreakers, but it also catches some innocents, just like the nuke would kill more than just the deer.
