  1. Re:"Surveys" on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry On the Way? · · Score: 1

    Charities could be solved by mandating that a minimum of 60% of all donated money be given to the charity that is represented. I finally remembered to ask how much was being given to (insert charity here) the last time I got a call. 15%

  2. would be nice... on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    But someone's going to figure out how to extract addresses from it, and spam from China.

  3. She's coming... on Fan-Made Star Trek Episode Available for Download · · Score: 1

    The REAL NEMESIS... her name is... Mallory Levitt. Paramount/Viacom's lawyer used to send out the cease and desist letters.
    Nothing in this post should be construed as waiver of my rights to be a smartass.

  4. Re:Dear Taco, on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    It'd be highly effective to find the largest files possible on the site and have thousands of modem users attempt to download them. It would tie up the maximum number of allowed connections. Very legal. Very effective.

  5. Re:I saw this in 1984 on R2D2 Beer Getting Machine · · Score: 1

    1984... Had to be either Omnibot (though Omnibot wasn't 3 feet tall, let alone 4) or maybe Max Steele.. But I don't think he/it came out until '86... Maybe the old Heath kit Hero???
    But none of them could play 2600 games....
    Verbot.. Hehe. I've still got one on my desk for display.

  6. Re:Wow.... on Mathematical Lego Sculptures · · Score: 1

    If he did construct a hypercube, he'd probably spontaneously transcend to a higher plane of existance as soon as he put the last brick in place.

  7. So easy you could represent yourself... on Copyright Battle Over Nothing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tell the judge if he seriously wasn't going to throw it out of court for being asinine, the song was actually covered under fair use... It was a parody!!!

  8. Backlash from Microsoft? on Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS · · Score: 1
    I'd love to know the following:


    Has M$ sent the BSA to Wal-Mart headquarters to audit licenses?


    What has happened to Wal-Mart's cost on M$ products?


    Maybe the ongoing lawsuit will keep them from pulling one of their tricks... I doubt it...

  9. Re:A *FEAR* of spam! on What Turns You Off About Evaluation Software? · · Score: 1

    Why bother? It just ends up with a lackluster apology and broken promises never to do it again.

  10. A *FEAR* of spam! on What Turns You Off About Evaluation Software? · · Score: 1
    Yep. I downloaded QuickDNS the other day for a quickie eval.


    Today, I received a spam asking how I was enjoying it even though I clicked the 'don't do anything with my email address' button.


    Today, I vowed never to even consider purchasing from the company that makes QuickDNS.

  11. barred from IPO's - not just Red Hat on Barred from Red Hat IPO? · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to what the "invitation" looked like, but it's really, *really* difficult to get in on *any* IPO unless:
    1. You work for said company
    2. You are "in bed" with someone in said company
    3. You're conisdered a "qualified investor" (worth millions)
    I've tried getting in on Invidia's (glad I didn't now), Priceline, and Critical Path... I gave up and didn't bother with Be's or Red Hat's.
