  1. Re:Revenge? on Another Worm Targets Anti-Spam Sites · · Score: 1

    Problem with this is the fact that hosting businesses are on an already slim margin and cannot afford to turn away legitimate customers by making them go through a lengthy (by comparison) approval process just so they can put up their family photos. If a competitor does not make them do that they will go that way.

    Chock my response up to PC ignorance :P Actually, I still have a Voodoo 3000 in my Starmax :)

    And I just blew all my Mod points ... even though I am an nVidia fan, I am going to have to agree with this one. ATI has started getting their act together while I feel that nVidia has not done a whole lot new with their drivers.

  5. Re:Why were you surprised? on Firefly: A Special Feature · · Score: 1

    but are you on the extreme end of religous? borderline fanatical? It's usualy only those sort of people that actually will make the effort to call up a network and start complaining about a show because they find it offensive.

  6. Might Reduce, HA! on Minnesota Senator Says Email Tax Might Reduce Spam · · Score: 1

    As usual, the legislation will punish to good in a failed attempt to thwart the bad. We'll pay the taxes, spammers will find a way around it. Music companies will limit our usage rights on digital media, crackers will simply hack the rights. Fun fun fun...

    Did you try exercise? Serious question, not trying to flame here.

  8. Re:How true. on Paying for Apple iTunes with PayPal · · Score: 1

    I have been using PayPal for several years and have only had to dispute one payment (but it wasn't their fault). I have also contacted Customer Service several times. I have to say I have always been impressed with the service I get from them. That's not to say other people have had the same.

  9. Re:Especially in the fog of marketese that is .NET on Advanced .NET Remoting · · Score: 1

    Troll. Ha! That's funny. You really think there aren't going to be any security holes with .Net remoting? Who are you kidding?

    ... except with new and unpatched security holes ...

    Seriously. This is getting as bad as the damn cliche jokes.

    ...error dialogues is horrendous! Not only that, but although they do cover 75% of the screen, you can still put a card in!

    If you saw an ATM with an error message on the screen, why the hell would you put in your card?

    AC, I think the argument still stands. Use your real name, pussy (-- Instant Flamebait).

  14. Re:Any language? on Google Code Jam 2003 Announced · · Score: 1

    I got the technicality of it, I disagree on it being a meaningful name. If I were looking deep, deep into your funciton I would (a) have no idea that is was a parameter (b) have no idea what type of variable it is and (c) would potentially not know what it represented. That is just my opinion, of course. I would have named it pnNewWidget or something.

  15. Re:Any language? on Google Code Jam 2003 Announced · · Score: 1

    Where's your scope and type indicator in that variable name? Why don't you just use the variable named a? What is it a new of? A new car? A new life?

  16. Long Sleeve? Sweatshirt? on New Slashdot T-Shirts On Sale Now · · Score: 1

    Would it hurt to have something other than t-shirts? I have so many friggin' t-shirts but I could sure use some long-sleeves or sweatshirts or something...

  17. Re:deceit on New ssh Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 1

    I would say there is a difference between a "Linux App" and an app the runs on Linux. That being that the former is inteded to "brand" that app with Linux with the hope of associating the apps success or failures with Linux. The later, perhaps, not banking on that association.

  18. Re:I can see where this is going on Video Screen in Thin Air · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe they were projected into a mirror similar to those things you can buy at the local science store. The ones that you put the coin in and it appeared as it it were floating.

    Or the TCO of a Beo.... I won't do it, I just won't do it.

  20. Re:Problem is in C libraries on Buffer Overflow in MySQL · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'll bet if C compilers started doing this then a bunch of people would start complaining that C is becoming too "VB" like. It would be nice to see all C compilers at least having an "optional" bounds-checking setting that would insert code to check bounds for you (ala VB). But that would lead to even lazier coding. (Have you seen the sample Linux/SCO/Unix code floating about, that's some pretty ugly code if you ask me.)

    Maybe it's your gigantic ./'ing ass ... sorry, I just blurted that one out because I haven't seen any stereotypical ./ nerd/fat/GF-less/ugly jokes in awhile. I am sure your ass isn't big enough to suck in radio waves ... or is it...

    Isn't this what the PS3 is supposed to use? Some sort of grid-like structure in their processor?

  23. Re:I flip over my Explorer! on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    Especially because 4 wheel drive doesn't necessarily give you a license to drive like a nutbag in the snow and ice. Granted, they may be able to pull themselves out of the ditch on the side of the road, but only after flattening several smaller cars in the process.

    Hey. I don't care what they use the SUVs for. I just wish they'd learn to park the friggin' things. If ya can't park it ... don't drive it.
