  1. John Lawless? on Spammers Sue Spam Victim For $4 Million · · Score: 1

    "The filing was accompanied by a Motion for Sanctions against John Lawless, opposing party's counsel and General Counsel of Omega World Travel, Inc."

    Anyone else find it ironic that the guy's last name is Lawless?

    0:)

  2. SuprNova announcement on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1

  3. bad math? on Women Live Longer Because Men Are Dumb · · Score: 1
    "According to statistics from 1997 to 1999, Canadian women have a life expectancy of 81.4 years compared with 75.9 years for men.

    But when deaths from preventable causes are excluded, life expectancy for women is 73.5 years, slightly less than the average of 73.9 for men."


    Is it just me or did the life expectancy drop when deaths from preventable causes are excluded?

    Someone needs to check their math :-\
  4. Re:Click bang !! on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Rich people don't steal? What about Winona Ryder :-P

    Ohhh I can already feel my lowly karma dropping like a rock

  5. GTA3 on Amphibious Car Beats Urban Congestion · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of one of the psuedo-ads in GTAIII: "and in amphibious mode...it can cross rivers. So far I've only hit a few puddles, but it's good to know it's there"

    Why would you ever need an amphibious car?

  6. Powering a laptop on Powered by Blood · · Score: 1
    Now how many of you Slashdotters would it take to power my laptop?


    I'm shooting for maybe 3 /.'ers per second, unless you have Centrino, of course...
  7. Re:fair or legal? on New Broadband Capping Techniques? · · Score: 1

    Not really...

    I just switched over to cable. While I may not get as much web space (which doesn't matter to me anyway), I get A LOT better customer support, not to mention faster downloads and smaller bills.

    There's probably not much you can do, possibly report it to the BBB, that always helps for me. If I were you, i'd just switch services.

  8. Valve on Half-Life 2 Delayed? · · Score: 1

    has a record of creating late (and morover vaporware) products, everything from PressPlay, to Steam to Team Fortress 2 (whos last news update was January of 2001). I pray they don't delay this game too, seeing as how im getting a new computer mostly for HL2 :-\

  9. This isn't that beneficial on Satellite Driven Farming Equipment · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I honestly can't see how this will help the farm industry in preventing soil corrosion, seeing as how farmers barely run their tractors over the same area twice. Although the labor benefits are obvious.

    You'd think there would be a simpler solution that doesn't implement GPS, kinda like those robot lawn mowers, except smart...

  10. Re:news for nerds? on Tooth Whitening Products? · · Score: 1

    If you had cared to notice, the poster's name is DentistsScareMe! :) ...yes, I am making an ass of myself...

  11. Re:PC mag test results on Bayesian Filter Testing? · · Score: 1
    only legitimate e-mail ended up in their spam folder
    pardon me, I meant: only *1* legitimate e-mail ended up in their spam folder
  12. PC mag test results on Bayesian Filter Testing? · · Score: 1

    The latest PC Magazine has an article on alternative e-mail. Their Editors' Choice, Oddpost ($10/yr, free trial), uses Bayesian filters, and blocked 22 of 29 spam messages, and only legitimate e-mail ended up in their spam folder. Also worth noting is these are the results with minimal training, so, in theory Bayesian filters could quite possibly block virtually all e-mail with time.

  13. Re:Slashdot Editor Checklist on FSF Statement on SCO vs. IBM · · Score: 1

    "4) Physics story that no-one understands but everyone pretends to"

    speak for yourself >:o

  14. of course it has mass! on Do Neutrinos Have Mass? · · Score: 1

    They've already proven neutrinos have mass [they even had a nightline episode dedicated to it]... and if im not mistaken, scientists have proven it does not make up _all_ of the dark matter.
