  1. Over the top on First Spammer Convicted Under CAN-SPAM Law · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If this is relating to computer fraud how the fuck can they justify over 100 years of punishment?
    Rapists and murderers get less.

    I don't like spam but ffs that is so harsh.

  2. It might do if you want to progress further on Will Telecommuting Kill a Career? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Whilst it might slow down your progress if your goal (at that point) is progressing, it might actually be the intended target.

    Getting to handle home life and work life and having time to relax and be yourself in the evenings might just be the drug some people seek.

  4. Re:shame on Details on Half-Life 2 - Orange and Black Editions · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The article summary (or the blog summary of the article ermmmmmmmm summary) says this about the full pack:

    The Orange Box is available for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 and includes Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episodes One and Two, Portal and Team Fortress. It retails for a modest $59.99.

    So, yes you can get the full experience in one hit :)
    However, I don't see a single option for just ep1+2 for people who already have hl2

  5. Re:Any vacancies in the i-still-hate-flash dept.? on x86 Linux Flash Player 9 is Final · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I use flashblock because I cannot concentrate with crap dancing around on the screen.
    I hate that its required as an extension (but shown my support for the principle by bugfixing it...)

    ClickToView functionality should be a proper configurable option within the core system for all plugin types.

  6. Re:It ought to be on Is It Illegal To Disclose a Web Vulnerability? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It depends if your daughters bedroom is on a shopfront on Rodeo drive (or wherever).

    Expecting privacy on a publicly advertised service is different to people using zoom lenses to peer through the fence of your gated community.

  7. Re:copyleft? on Mandatory DRM for Podcasts Proposed · · Score: 1

    If you read from the GPL itself, you will note:

    To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    Not really, this is more like baking a cake and pre-shaping the pastry first.

    The units are not hand stacked for home use, they are stacked and welded, just the initial dents and hills assist the alignment process.

  12. Coooling on Building Chips Like LEGO · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I hope the central portions of these chips have enough space to allow cooling to be achieved.

    If the stack is open, then could the cooling actually be better than a single over the top method.
    This could work like the fins inside double layered home radiators.

    Perfect!

    All you have to do is map the tags

    slashdot.itsatrap = fark.Florida

    or something similar.

  14. Re:Isn't needed on The Need For A Tagging Standard · · Score: 1

    Thats a little better, but context is everything.
    Your algorythm would work like google and would not require tags of any kind.
    Tags are useful to subcategorize content into neat little blocks.
    On a TV site, the tag "24" would be useful for finding information about Jack Bauer, but would be useless when talking about petrol stations open all night.

    Each tag (like your vista example) needs some kind of upversion (related to the originating context) to make the tags specific to the subject and this is the root problem with generic tags.

    The radio shack 150 in 1 has a number of issues and has since been refactored:

    37 items were removed due to patent infringement.

    64 items were left off because they were dangerous to children.

    13 items were removed because women couldn't pick them up.

    6 items were excluded because the MPAA thought they looked like movie props.

    29 items were removed because they were a threat to homeland security.

    The one remaining item (a resistor incase your wondering) can be used for anything you like!
