Here is an extremely useful new hack for vbulletin 3.6. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12 4828&highlight=captcha+questions/. It allows you to create a list of question/answer combinations that are randomly presented in place of captcha images. You can then, of course, tailor the questions to your intended audience. This would certainly help curtail 'unwanted' members.
This is just like American baseball's "world championship"...sigh. While some of these sites (ie: google) did (still does) impact a large part of the "world", not all of these sites changed the "world".
There is a world beyond our English speaking western societies that we tend not to consider when making such grand statements. =).

WGA notifies Microsoft of when/where you sign on to your PC without your knowledge/consent.
This allows MS to keep tabs on your location at any given time.
Sure, when you go to Microsoft Update you are giving up your IP addy and effectively doing the same thing...but...this is a voluntary action on your part.
This is all a means to an end....you just don't see it yet.
"Ok, we are going to use WGA to shut down all the non-legit intalls of XP!" - Ballmer
"What if we accidentally kill off legitimate systems?" - Concered MS exec
"Friendly fire? It's all part of war. Surely we'll get some heat." - Ballmer
"Won't this hurt our bottom line of real users? What do you think the shut down pirates will do?" - Concered MS exec
"Naturally they'll rush out to buy a shrinkwrapped copy of Vista. Papa needs a new bag (Diamond Vutton)!" - Ballmer
"No, they will all move over to Linux/OSX, you tard, along with all our friendly fire victims. We'll also incur their wrath in the courts" - Concered MS exec
"Hrmmm......developers, developers, developers, developers! I love this copmany!!!!!" - Ballmer
"Um..... Dance monkey boy?" - Concered MS exec
....we DO NOT WANT bundled shit with the applications we intend to download. This is like someone giving you a side order of sh1t sandwich with your order at dinner. Complete asshattery that drives me nuts. I don't care how 'useful' it may be...let me decide if I want to install another app.
That's not what I'm referring to. Even with that set, Firefox will start to automatically pre-cache your download before you actually select the destination directory. I'm sure there is a setting to disable this in the 'about:config'. Anyone?
Off-topic question, how do you configure firefox to not being downloading a file once you click a download link but rather only after you click "save". Firefox always starts downloading right away in order to make it seem like it is faster. This is dangerous as some sites that you visit have code which initiates a download right away and in the case of Firefox it will automatically start downloading. Eeek!
Heaven help the l337 fool that would RAID0 7 x 100GB drives for a 0.0005 fps improvement in BF2.
He will have 7x more likelihood of losing all his data. =)
I'm sure the question on many slashdotter's minds is: where is the freaking Netgear Wi-Fi Skype phone we were all promised in Q1 2006?

Nanotech Gone Awry?

· Score: 2, Informative
I have been wondering why it is that we only hear all the cool and jazzy things related to nano-technology but nothing to address the concerns regarding it. What about the 'grey goop' and the studies that showed the effects of nano particles on fish? Frightening to say the least.
Yet we are all more concerned with getting a 100GB Flash based ipod, cars and clothes that don't ever need to be washed, etc etc.....
totalitarian with a cushy 'land of the free feel' to it. Either way you look at it the values that Americans hold close to their hearts are being eaten away as they sit idly by.
As another poster so aptly put, most Americans are perfectly content if they have their servings of - Football, Mountain Dew, MTV, American Idol, etc..... Sad, but true. Wake up Americans, you've been given the date rape drug and you're currently getting a$$-raped by the government you elected. Sigh.
That's fantastic! But sadly this won't invert her abnormally large clitoris into a vagina. Nor will it deter her from wearing your jockey's when she's not in the tranny mood.
Slashdot Mirror
yes, but does it come with wings (for added confidence no less)?

Too little too late. Linspire sees Ubuntu becoming the popular girl at school so now she'll sleep with anyone for free.

There's a punchline somewhere out there, trust me.

Han Solo was a riotous space cowboy smuggling for the Fetts.
Boba Fett also had a big crime family too? No doubt they were all eaten by the Hutts. Yummy Mandalorian BBQ!
