  1. Boring. on The Battle Against Junk Mail and Spyware · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try this link. However, for what it's worth, the editorial can be summarised to "Congress' new law won't work. Won't somebody think of the children!"

  2. Re:The lower Manhattan nightmare scenerio on Automagic No-Fly-Zone Enforcement · · Score: 1

    What happens if I'm on a flight that for whatever the reason HAS to land at La Guardia ... ?

    You crash. There is no override system. And what would be the point of overriding the system anyway ... the AA guns on the ground are just going to shoot you down. A controlled ditch into the sea gives you a small, but nonzero chance, of surviving.

  3. Installers on Explore Mars with Maestro · · Score: -1, Troll

    Compare the installation instructions... Windows : Run the installer. Done. Macintosh : Install Java. Run Maestro installer. Done. Linux / Solaris : Run some cryptic commandline. Run another cryptic command line. Run a third cryptic command line. Still not done ... there are more instructions in the installer to follow. I've been using Maestro for hours; poor non-windows users are still trying to work out what the hell Java is or what order the switches for tar have to go in.

  4. The internet? Very useful ... on Joining the Global Village · · Score: 4, Informative

    Since all the west seems interested in is providing them with internet access, of all things, here are some links the farmers might be interested in. How to get clean water, avoiding GM crops and reducing pesticide use.

  5. They should do something. on You've Got Spam: AOL Blocks 1/2 Trillion Spam · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Instead of sending the mails to the bitbucket AOL should do something about the abuse. They've got the IP addresses of half a trillian zombies and open proxies. Where's the AOL goon squad? They should be kicking down doors, not writing press releases.
