  1. Re:More on sinks on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1

    Are you trying to suggest the US doesn't?

  2. Re:Huh? on The Browser Wars Are Back? · · Score: 1

    While no one knew it at the time, the US focus on aircraft carriers also gave them the most powerful naval fleet in existence. This combined sea and air power gave us the ability to perform strikes anywhere in the world, while the enemy could only hope to get potshots off from U-Boats.

    I seem to recall some non-US carriers being present close to Hawaii in late 1941. I guess they might have been well-equipped U-Boats though.

  3. Re:It's near performance already on Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel · · Score: 1

    Ignoring the power used to manufacture the car, and produce the hydrogen.

  4. Re:Burden of proof on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    Yep, my point exactly.

  5. Re:Burden of proof on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    Bush & Co. care a lot more about what oil will be priced at 10 years from now. And it won't be no $50/barrel.

  6. Re:Burden of proof on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 2, Funny

    But, North Korea isn't sitting on 10% of the world's known oil reserves, and neighbours to a good chunk of the rest.

    Now, Iran, they look like better targets.

  7. Re:Non-Americans on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    That comment is incomprehensible without knowing where you live. Otherwise, the words "we" and "here" are complete mysteries.

    Well, grandparent was talking about refusing to sell to Canada, so maybe not a complete mystery.

    No such thing. Drugs are patented. As such, their secrets are published by USPTO, and reverse-engineering is needless.

    Even easier then.

  8. Re:Alopathy on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    Don't forget leeches.

  9. Re:as a sys admin on AOL Will Not Support Sender-ID · · Score: 1

    scomp consists of messages from AOL users that pressed the "This is Spam" button or whatever their UI calls it in regards to the message.

    Some of it is actually spam. A lot of it is AOL users using the Spam button in place of the delete button or the unsubscribe link for mail they subscribed to.

  10. Re:Mars closer to asteroids asteroids on People on Mars in 30 Years? · · Score: 1

    Yeah but with almost no atmosphere, no oceans and no biosphere, there's so much less to damage when it hits.

  11. Re:Non-Americans on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    More likely, we'd rescind the mutual IP treaties, and allow companies here to mass-produce generic versions of the reverse-engineered drugs.

    It's only government protection that allows the drug companies exclusivity over production.

  12. Re:Non-Americans on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    Yep, just held in prison indefinitely. Go go concentration camps.

  13. Re:Other candidates on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    but there are limits on what arms we should be able to bear, don't you agree?

    If you can think of a way to actually keep them away from criminals, then sure. Keeping them away from only from law-abiding citizens accomplishes nothing.

  14. Re:There's a downside to everything.... on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 1

    Wind power comes from heat (generated by energy from the sun). Any electricity generated by this method will eventually turn back into heat and be re-released into the atmosphere. I seriously doubt it will have large-scale effects.

  15. Re:Scenarios on IETF Decides On SPF / Sender-ID issue · · Score: 1

    The original record specifically said include:yourisp.net. The receiver will certainly look up the ISP's record in that case, since it's explicitly part of the mycompany.com record.

  16. Re:Too Far? on Independent Developers Fight Piracy & Lose · · Score: 1

    The only problem with the death penalty, IMO, is that too many innocent people get convicted of serious crimes. If you could be 100% sure the person was guilty, then for 1st degree murder or kiddie rape at least I'd say go for it.

  17. Re:That depends upon the implementation. on IETF Decides On SPF / Sender-ID issue · · Score: 1

    If it says include:yourisp.ne it will certainly look up the SPF record for yourisp.net. That's what include means.

    That allows your ISP to update their sending mail server info in SPF without you having to change yours.

  18. Re:The Great Geek Hope on Science Fiction Writers Discuss The Future · · Score: 1

    Uh huh, end prisons. Cause no one will voluntarily pick "preys on those around him" as their way of life?

  19. Re:Whose fault? on 20,000 Zombie PCs -- $3000 · · Score: 1

    Verisign is testing such a system with registrars now. They call it IDN or something.

  20. Re:So, for 3 Grand... on 20,000 Zombie PCs -- $3000 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Oh, well, geez, if she took a little time out of her life to learn how to use the fucking thing after she hooked it up to a public network and let it spam millions of people, damn now we should give her a medal or something.

  21. Re:In fact, Sendmail has embraced SenderID on Debian Project Rejects Sender-ID · · Score: 1

    That's not as important as it sounds. The code implementing Sender-ID won't be permitted in any open source distribution. You'll probably be able to download an addon directly from Sendmail, but you can't redistribute it.

  22. Re:SPF is an anti-forgery tool, not an anti-spam t on Spammers Are Early Adopters of SPF Standard · · Score: 1

    That's up to the DNS admins of msstate.edu. Their domain, their sender policy. SPF merely allows them to express it in a way that remote MTA's can parse and check.

  23. Re:Nuclear energy works! on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    I would think the 30,000 includes deaths from respiratory disease attributed to burning coal.

  24. Re:I had so much hope on Apache Rejects Sender ID · · Score: 1

    Forcing them to identify themselves in this fashion makes it far easier to fight them in other ways. There is no single solution to spam. Repeat that a thousand times. And then help with the bits that are needed to eventually make a solution.

  25. Re:We've seen this before... on Apache Rejects Sender ID · · Score: 1

    Yahoo's DomainKey's authenticates a different part of the message. It is probably a good addition to SPF Classic (and to avoid Microsoft's Caller ID IPR we may have to use it instead of PRA authentication). It is not a replacement for SPF.
