  1. Re:Dunno about better on SORBS - Is There a Better Spam Blacklist? · · Score: 1

    The server park can deal with the asshat spammer or lose business.

  2. So it wasn't the last 10 percent of the genome on DNA So Dangerous It Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    It was the extinct 90 percent.

    DooM

  3. Re:No, I live in the UK, CCTV capital of the world on What to Watch for in 2007 · · Score: 1

    So I can put a politicians or judges license plate on my car and zoom zoom zoom? Sweet.

    Cameras have no depth perception. Just wear a mask of your favorite politician.

    Or Guy Fawkes.

  4. Mod parent up. on The D Programming Language, Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    You crack me up. :)

    Look up dirac beep. If you already know it give yourself a thousand scifi geek points. :)

  5. Re:This won't work... on The D Programming Language, Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    I made the . language so there.

  6. Re:Screen Captcha! on HTML Encoded Captchas · · Score: 1

    Cool. I was trying that with Gimp and it choked. :( It could be that my system is too wimpy.

  7. Re:Screen Captcha! on HTML Encoded Captchas · · Score: 1

    Is there any way to fool a robot into reading such a file but not a browser?

  8. History is littered with the ... on The Problem With Driver-Loaded Firmware · · Score: 1

    US and European history is littered with lawsuits over patent infringment. Patent suits go back to the creation of patents. Because in quite a few cases a patent owner has been defrauded of their creation because the law and the courts have not been enough to protect their property they've taken a path of protecting their property with obscurity.

    You could work with the http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/ and come up with a generic framework that could run most any kind of dsp related tranceiver be it wireless or wired.

  9. Screen Captcha! on HTML Encoded Captchas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's easy no?

    The file size is what intriques me. Just make a 'hidden' captcha that a bot would download. Now figure out how to make a jpeg decompressor uncompress that to 2 gigs or better.

    It's like the old "I'll compress 2gigs of the letter A with zip and upload it to that BBS and let the virus checker gag" gag.

    Or maybe a gif file. I wonder how solid black or white compress......

  10. So all that's come before is the pilot episode? on Study Finds Linux 'Ready For Prime-time' · · Score: 1

    I bet the series runs longer than Battlestar Galactica Redux.

  11. Taiwan is not china. on China Heralds Year of the Fluorescent Green Pig · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What is it with some news orgs calling this a Chinese development? Is it solidarity with the communists?

    The BBC used the correct name, it's Taiwan and it's been independant for some time now. Get over it.

  12. They don't allow gun purchases on PayPal Launches Virtual Debit Card · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this will be a work around for that.

  13. Blame Bush God on Inhabited Island Vanishes Forever Underwater · · Score: 1

    Blaming Bush for everything is a DNC talking point.

    Blaming Bush for everthing means he is God.

  14. Re:Good call on Department of Defense Now Blocking HTML Email · · Score: 1

    Anyone who lets emails in with links and attachments intact deserves what they get. It's trivially easy to strip that crap out.

  15. Re:The bubble was never there. on Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst? · · Score: 1

    They've dumbed down both Guhnome and KaydeeEee to an annoying level. Something as simple as typing a path to a file in a file dialog is missing. Sheesh.

  16. I was thinking on Non-Geeky Gifts for Tech Geeks · · Score: 1

    Sex toys but realized they'd be used in some hacked gadget or other.

  17. Re:which raises the question... on Military Tech for Daily Life · · Score: 1

    The don't need it. Conventional munitions are good enough for clotting blood. Here is some information on small arms wounding capability. http://www.firearmstactical.com/tactical.htm

    Some information on overpressure from google http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=overpressure+ lethality&btnG=Google+Search

    The military at one time had enough VX nerve gas to kill a whole country and enough nukes to cook the bodies in their skin and ... nothing happened.

  18. Re:Almost there... on NASA Sees Glow of Universe's First Objects · · Score: 1

    Yes but if the glow is purple and dinosaur shaped....

  19. It never can get to 100 can it? on Sony Says Nobody Will Ever Use All the Power of a PS3 · · Score: 1

    So they rate limit the system so it never gets to 100 percent? Or you can claim all the other OS crud is eating up a small percentage.

  20. OT, Scotty..... Re:Cookies? Javascript? Etc? on The Dangers of Improper Cookie Use · · Score: 1

    So where did Scott post his social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license number, license plate number, employee id number, his entire medical history, his entire school records, how many times he visits a whore, and a digital copy of his finger prints, retnal pattern and DNA.

  21. Re:welll.. on How To Adopt 10 'Good' Unix Habits · · Score: 1

    Ie there is NOTHING bad about piping cats PETA would disagree. Oh? Just imagine the cacophony of a bunch of cats playing bagpipes while "singing" along. And all this while marching under fire, yes those Scottish cats are insane.

  22. Re:I'm all for it! on New Stargate Series In the Works · · Score: 1

    Oh wow, how could they ever do a prequel? ...flash forward 10 years *MY EYES BLEED*

    What I want to see? Hrm, more of the stargate tech available publicly, at least some of the medical, the rapid construction and the transportation tech. Making the world smaller requires the ability to transport people and goods much faster and much cheaper but we need better and wider medical care to cure regional diseases fast.

    Time travel stuff is so beat to death by bad writing that it's now not possible to overcome it. I have however read some novels that are fun, just nothing Ive seen for the screen is really much good but then how many times *can* you do a Connecticut Yankee in King Aurthur's Court?

    This warped continuum might work http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Louis-LeClerc/X file.jpg

    Will..E..Um...Shatterer..is...god, just ask him. Hell just watch that prequel of the show he made famous, compared to that captain he *is* god.

  23. Infocom is your source for long lasting flavor on Star Trek Legacy's Plot Left Behind on Away Mission · · Score: 1

    Some of them have a solution time in the hundreds of hours.

  24. Could someone please make this like wavetable... on Unrefined "Musician" Gains a Global Audience · · Score: 1

    ...music? It would be so awesome to be able to take a stock set of 'video instruments' and play them with a midi file.

    I think Animusic does something similar.

  25. Epson on Scanners for Large Negatives? · · Score: 1

    The infrared dust removal technique really works.
