  1. Misleading.... on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 1

    128 kbps in this situation means 128 kiloBITS per second.... To get kb/s we must divide by 8, leaving you with 16 kiloBYTES per second.

  2. Re:Read The Manual! on Linux Kernel 2.4.20 Released · · Score: 1

    the changelog plainly states that a few of the 2.5 improvments have been added to 2.4

  3. Re:Read The Manual! on When Personalization Runs Amuck · · Score: 1

    or you could hax it to just run a program where it simulates a fish tank on your tv.. all of the fun of fish without the heartache of cleaning.

  4. Not to mention... on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    slashdoting is one of the best dos attacks out there.

  5. Re:Just fine by me on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 2, Informative

    It runs a script that sets a cookie, then it looks at that cookie to see if it is set. Checking to see you are using cookes is not a feature... it is IMPARITIVE to the function of the system to be able to use cookies.

  6. this is annoying on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    I agree, annoying things make me not want to buy stuff. They make me want to use the F word. The people blocking popups gerally LOOK AROUND BEFORE THEY BUY STUFF anyways. On another note I think that people could easily write code to "confuse" theese web programs... as they advertized, it is not very complex.

  7. augmenting my crap avoidance algorythm... on Google Sued over Page Ranking · · Score: 1

    There is nothing more annoying than a site that just spits your search back at you on a page with ads. Google does not have ads, thusly making it more respectable then for example search king... which does. Frankly as the customer, I appreciate google augmenting my personal algorythm for ignoring hits such as the ones produced by search king. Yes, I avoid looking at usless crap...

  8. TUSD insecurity on Windows/NetBIOS pop-up Spam: · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My school has recently had a big problem with this. Students used a lameass program called NetHail. I remember doing the same thing with smbclient, and a perl script though...
