  1. Cell phones on Device for Taking Travel Notes? · · Score: 1

    My cell phone has a "voice note" dealie. Comes in handy sometimes. (I hear the T-Mobile Sidekick phones are nice, too; big backlit colour screen, qwerty keyboard. Send an AIM to a screen name you keep logged.)

  2. Spammer techniques on Anti-Spammers Infiltrate Private Online Spam Clubs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've always wondered: why don't spammers just run their messages through SpamAssassin or something before they send out the spam? Just keep tweaking it until it gets a satisfactorily low score, then blast it out to the net.

    I know they're not that bright (Nigerian twits, especially), but this should be a no-brainer.

  3. Re:WWJD on Cryptic Code Stumps Experts · · Score: 1

    > take grail
    You get the holy grail.

    > drink grail
    You drink the water from the holy grail.
    Your face melts.

    You are DEAD! ...Sorry!
  5. Looks right. on Inferno 4 Available for Download · · Score: 3, Funny
    Also, all of its major components are named after things related to hell.
    Hmm...

    * many Unix-like tools: mv, cp, rm, xd, wc, grep, ps, diff, tr, man, ls ...
    Yup. All related to hell.
  6. Nothing new. on A Worm's Worm · · Score: 1

    Code Red II used one of the backdoors CR used.

  8. Re:Wait.. on Royal Bank of Canada Cashes Out of SCO; SCO Begins Layoffs · · Score: 1

    I just read 330 (that's three hundred and thirty) about 5 minutes ago.

  9. Erp, OT question on The Home Parallel Universe Test · · Score: 1

    I've known the neatness about photons being waves and particles, depending on the circumstances...

    What I've never even thought to ask is why? I don't know if I'm asking quite the right question, here, but...

    I suppose what I'm asking is when is it one or the other?

  10. Re:Idiots on The Home Parallel Universe Test · · Score: 1
    Are you sure?
    Not sure if I'm sure. Could you please look at me and tell me?
  11. Re:You bastards! on The Home Parallel Universe Test · · Score: 1
    I tried this, and everything changed! I'm fat! My beautiful wife is gone! My beautiful aircar is gone! All of my stuff is crammed into this stupid apartment!
    Hrm. I was wondering where those came from.

    Wonder if goatse is back now...
  12. Re:Rich! on Flash Mob Gang Warfare · · Score: 1
    I'm waiting for the gang hand sign RFC.
    Oh, god, don't give them ideas. The encapsulation over avian carrier RFC was bad enough. :P
  13. Re:Answers on Napster Gags University Over Fees · · Score: 1
    2. Who can join?
    Answer: Students that have transportation, an instrument(guitar,base,drums,voice,etc) and some talent, and of course and no drugs
    A musician. In college. That doesn't do drugs.

    Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
  14. Re:Supporting Independent Music on The New MP3.com: 3rd Time a Charm? · · Score: 1
    1.) sending more cash to the musicians you like
    Beg your pardon, but I think profit is supposed to be at the end of the list.
  15. Re:And so in a puff of smoke on Privacy in the Woods? · · Score: 1
    Your Right to Privacy is DEAD!! R.I.P.
    Cuervo takes gold coins from corpse of you.
  16. ssh! on Free Software Tracking a Stolen Computer? · · Score: 1

    Whenever I log in in X11, my setup scripts ask me for my ssh passphrase (with ssh-askpass). Three bad attempts and, well, bad things happen.

    The trick is ssh-askpass. I had to call it myself in a Perl script and count the bad logins, otherwise it'd just let you try forever until your army of infinite monkeys with infinite copies of my thinkpad's hard drive eventually got ahold of my pr0n.

    Of course, if your monkeys had copies of my hard drive, it'd be kind of pointless anyway. It's late! I'm sober! Leave me alone!

  17. How bored are we? on Stopping Overseas Fax Spam? · · Score: 1

    while :; do echo ATDT1800whatever >/dev/modem; sleep 60; done

  18. Uh, did you say... on Review: LinuxCertified LC2210 Laptop · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ..."dead pixel"?

    I am fscking SICK of getting laptops with dead pixels or otherwise bad displays. Pisses me off. :-(

  19. Whoops! on Sprint Routers Stolen; NYC Internet Outage Ensues · · Score: 1

    Sorry 'bout that. Was in the wrong cage.

  20. Re:Unless the music gets a lot better very fast... on Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking · · Score: 1

    Not since Nirvana. (Someone make a music poll. I'm curious.)

  21. Re:Huh? on NetBSD Sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record · · Score: 2, Informative
    What is a petabit-meter? How is it a significant measure of transmission speed?
    Presumably, it's the time it takes to transfer a petabit of information over one metre.
  22. Re:Grumble grumble on Mitnick Helps Bust Bomb Hoaxer · · Score: 1
    And psychopaths like this always think they're being bullied. That's because they're fucking paranoid and crazy.
    Maybe they're paranoid and crazy because they've been getting bullied.
  23. Not spam on Coming Soon to a Wireless Hotspot Near You: Ads · · Score: 1

    I recall some phone company trying an experiment where all phone calls are free, but a recorded advertisement breaks in once an hour. That's not spam. That's a good deal.

    Email clogging up my networks and slowing down my servers pisses me off. Banner ads don't (as long as they're non-flash and don't pop up, under, over, off to the side, or what the hell ever).

    Even then, as long as they don't insert weird things into my ssh connections, hell, they can blast advertisements at me all day. I'll tell fvwm2 to autoplace them on some far away desktop. :-)
