  1. Scam-baiting on 419er Lost in Space · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For those of you not familiar, there are a number of web sites now that feature accounts of fed-up e-mail users messing with the 419 scammers. Here is one such result. Check out 419eater.

  2. Re:It's already happened? on Gmail Commentary and Responses · · Score: 1
    I remember when I was back in high school, there was an urban myth going around that there was a system in place where your phone call was automatically tapped and recorded if you used certain words close together, like "president" and "assassinate."

    Oh, shit, oops!!! They must be listening right now because I posted a message that has "president" and "assassinate" in the same sentence. I guess I better make sure I don't say any other words like "bomb" and "airplane."

  3. Spyware on my grandmother's computer on The Average PC is Infested with Spyware · · Score: 1

    It seems that my grandmother's computer is infected with some kind of spyware or virus. I don't understand exactly what it is, but it keeps popping up this blue screen with a bunch of gibbering and numbers on it. When that happens, the only way to get it going again is to power-cycle the computer. Can anyone here help?

  9. Re:No way on Iomega Ships 35GB 'Son of Jaz' · · Score: 1
    I serviced a system once that had a Jaz drive. The drive failed, and I convinced the owner to put in a CD-RW in spite of the fact that he already owned two of those price-fixed $100 Jaz disks. Although he had never regularly used a CD-RW before and there was a learning curve involved, I think it was definately for the better. The CD-RW lasted until we upgraded to DVD-R.

    I have a suggestion: Never buy a HI-VAL DVD-R drive. I bought two of them. One of them worked, but the other had problems since day one, so I went to the store and had it replaced twice and continued to have it spit out coasters. Finally, we just got a different brand that was more expensive, but at least it works!

    Oh by the way, congratulatoins on your Score: 5, Troll post.

  12. Re:I think you nailed it... on Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services · · Score: 0
    Let me play Devil's advocate here.

    If Microsoft shouldn't be able to absolve itself for responsibility for vulnerabilities in their programs, then what happens when OSS programs fail / get compromised?

  14. Microsoft commit suicide???? on The Only Way Microsoft Can Die is by Suicide · · Score: -1, Troll

  19. Re:I would start by teaching them our local custom on Train Your Own Replacement · · Score: 1

    That reminds me; I was training a group of replacements in my department the day before they laid me off. The last day, we had to work late into the night to get everything taken care of. Finally, we all decided to stop at Pizza Hut on the way out. We were seated, and I did an extended stay in the men's room. When I came out, the foreign workers were sitting at the table masturbating. I asked what the hell they were doing. They said, "Can't you see? The sign says, first come, first served!"
