  1. DNSBLs are a mixed bag on Should You Trust MAPS? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Some are well maintained, and even automatically maintained. spamhaus and spamcop come to mind. One of the less desirable ones that comes to mind is SORBS, where if they list you in one category you've got to donate $50 to charity, per message, to be delisted. You're an ISP providing smtp to your customers, and you're listed again? Tough.

  2. Re:Is there a list of softare ready for it? on Windows XP X64 Goes Gold · · Score: -1, Troll

    And microsoft misses yet another chance to get .NET, actually quite a good development framework (albiet not being cross platform), into people's computers without demanding they download 26MB on top of their "first program".

  3. Re:enough! on Apple and PalmOne Release iPodTreo · · Score: 1

    This happens every year. You must be new here.

    So, suddenly if a vulnerability appears in <s>internet explorer</s> safari that lets <s>activex</s> applescript interact, though the web with <s>windows media player</s> VLC, and we've got all sorts of problems on our hands!

  5. Re:Just on time on New Photoshop Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    What's even more absurd is the loading time of Adobe Reader 6+. I recently went back to 5 because it was so stupidly bloated. Suggestions for an alternative that integrates with mozilla browsers welcome.

  6. Re:Synopsis: on Bang But No Splash · · Score: 5, Informative

    The PDF has the pictures. I wish people wouldn't link redundant urls.

  7. Re:That's interesting... on Yahoo Adds Search for Creative Commons Content · · Score: 1

    Commons also labels content very clearly with licences :)

  8. Re:Another GB channel doing this already.. on British TV Station Offers Downloads · · Score: 1

    Anyone who had E4 on Telewest or Sky could get the
    Big Brother stream for no extra charge anyway.

  9. Re:Browser support on Yahoo Pledges Full Firefox Support · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's easy to support all browsers except IE, which is where the problem lies.

  10. Re:here come the consultants! on date +%s Turning 1111111111 · · Score: 1

    It was hoped that we wouldn't be using 1970s computers in 2000. Certainly, my local newsagent was still using his atari for managing paper rounds.

    I know - but every slow news day needs it ;)

  12. Oh dear. on date +%s Turning 1111111111 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I, for one, welcome our new binary timestamp overlords.

  13. Re:So if I share it... on Was the New Dr. Who Leaked on Purpose? · · Score: 1

    No, because the agent distributed it with permission. You will still be distributing it without any sort of licence to do so.

  14. Re:Make's sense... on Was the New Dr. Who Leaked on Purpose? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Now you've got 2x sets of worthless karma :)

  15. Re:So whats wrong with this? on Was the New Dr. Who Leaked on Purpose? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The BBC doesn't have domestic advertising, so they and I could care less about the "leak" because they've NOT LOST A PENNY because of it. On the other hand, they've got a lot of publicity and perhaps boosted the international market for the program.

  16. </obvious>? on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course he won't find them, if he's only relying on publically disclosed information.

  17. Re:Down on FTC Shuts Down Fraudulent Antispyware Company · · Score: 4, Funny

    The clue was in the tagline "The FTC has shut down...". Seemingly, they've gone back to the same site they had in Feb 04.

  20. Re:Isn't radio a step back though on Virgin Radio Launches 3G Radio Service · · Score: 3, Informative

    Most new mid to high range phones sold in the UK also come with the ability to recieve FM radio stations. Radio is still going strong here - Clearchannel hasn't taken over.

  21. Re:Mirrordot on Is Horse the New Mouse? · · Score: 1

    That won't work without editing the story after it's posted - MD only gets the story when the subscribers get it.

  22. choice quote on Wells Fargo Web-Enables ATMs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "We want to make sure our ATMs are integrated with every other channel so when I do a deposit in a [branch] I want to be able to go to [an] ATM immediately and see that deposit"

    I do that regularly anyway. An ATM doesn't have to be on "the net" to do that. It has to communicate to the central handling server regardless of it's OS.

  23. Re:Legal Section on Rambus Patent Claims Dismissed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And rename YRO into just YR, because it's clear that general rights issues do have a place here.

  24. Re:No performance benefits? on Pushing The 512MB Barrier On Video Cards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's more like it - games being designed beyond current specs! I'm sick of finding a game looks "dated" not a few months after it's release because the developers capped the top specs at what I can still run on (admittedly good) 2003 hardware.

  25. Re:Price not surprising at all. on 100,000 Domains Sold for $164 Million · · Score: 1

    That just means that the person who "bidded" 260k actually put in a bid of 386k. The next bidder could have, say, bidded 500k and it took it to the previous bidder's maximum putting the new entrant in the lead.
