    Nahhhhhhh, the timeframe hasn't harmed anything.

    I for one didn't know Mr n Mrs Smith was available yet.
    After this press release, I do now.

    Thank you MPAA :)

  2. Not fraud on Google Sued Over Click Fraud · · Score: 1

    I click something once, I might click it a thousand times.
    I might buy something, I might not.

    I am going to make damn sure I watch the adverts carefully from now on, and I'm going to click on every single one from this click fraud company.

    I am going to maliciously, and with intent click links on a website multiple times!

    Let them try and stop me.

    This should not be googles' fault, and google are not to blame for this.

    If the advertiser on the other end doesn't like how many people are tramping through their shop and using all their bandwidth without actually purchasing anything, then they should employ their own security guard.

    Stop shopoting the messenger so to speak.

    Unless the resolution has improved (apparently back to the old detail level!?) then the only people you would see on a beach would be mis-classified as beached whales.

  5. Re:In a recent showdown... on Morse Code on Cell Phones? · · Score: 1

    Look away from slashdot for just a couple of days and try to find out exactly what you have missed.

    Hell, just take your eye of the front page for a
    while and you will miss things.
    It always amazes me when I return from vacation or a short trip just how many articles I have missed, and for weeks afterwards, topic threads in the comments may refer back to things, and people will complain about dupes when I am reading a fresh new article.

    On TV, we willingly accept dupes without complaint, so why bother so much about slash?
    A dupe is only a dupe if you spend too much time here, change the channel, go outside, skip the story :)
    I would much rather see interesting debate than comments about dupe.

    (Note, I'm not saying anything about the classical "dupe on same front page" cockups most of us have witnessed)

  8. Re:Compression and moderation? on Archiving Digital History at the NARA · · Score: 1

    The best way to compress the data is to automatically put the national security black lines over the documents now rather than in 25 years time.
    This way, not only will security be maintained (assuming they remove the data rather than just paint it black in a pdf), but it will take up less space.

    Most released documents I have seen have most lines blacked out, so after compressing the remaining text, you could fit the entire Clinton admin documents onto a single floppy disk.

    When aligned, the planets will fit into a piece of sky the same size as a full moon.

    Is that the low hanging moon or the smaller moon?

  19. Re:sorry guys on RIAA Supporting Commercial P2P · · Score: 1

    I can quite easily see a footnote being added to the crediting system.

    *Credits are only awarded for uploading a complete instance of the song to a single recipient in a single session.

    Partial uploading of a song does not count towards your credit balance.

    Then they will make the network inherantly dynamic and keep switching to the faster connections ;)

    And that subcontractor MUST perform the duties with the same level of skill as the electric company.

    Subcontracting does not relieve you of your responsibilities.

  21. Re:Innovation such as? on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    I agree with this, but its not ironic.

    It means you like to use the web as a magazine that you read. You don't expect extra popup adverts in your favorite weekly, nor do you expect a moving image distracting you from your article.

    I personally block all flash and gif animation (image.animation_mode=none) on a page, but I have never gone as far as removed the actual adverts.
    It has improved my browsing expecience no end, and I have clicked through to more adverts since doing this than before, mainly because the context is right (I still keep to my regularish suppliers however).

    The only gripes I have with this is the flashblock ummm flashes the anim onscreen at least one frame, and the animated gifs stupidly miss out on an advert chance by essentially blanking themselves for the 1st frame.
    I would want flashblock to simply leave a flash anim paused by default, but leave it visible.
