    It would be nice to have a working link, eh?

  3. $257,000.00 on 100,000 Domains Sold for $164 Million · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just cheked eBay and the final bid ended up at $257,000. Not bad for a site doing 3GB/day of bandwidth.

    Completely diffrent.

    ...yet somehow they'll find a way to blame it all on George W Bush.

  7. Re:Actually, it's under control on MyDoom Strikes Again · · Score: 5, Informative

    No... The email contained LINKED images to the website in question. Therefore, all the website had to do was swap the linked images in the email for warnings that this message contians a virus.

  8. Re:Sunspot on Intelsat Loses Another Satellite · · Score: 1
    I think the program you are thinking about is STK, or Satellite Tool Kit. You can download it for free for a short trial period and can track satellites in real-time.

  9. Picture! on Man Auctions Forehead Advertising on eBay · · Score: 1
    I already posted.. but I found the local article on him here along with a video and picture! Wooo!

    I must also agree with another poster... Don't let him give you the wrong idea about Nebraska.

  10. Welll.... on Man Auctions Forehead Advertising on eBay · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I live in Omaha as well... Of course the local news is having a field day with this kid. Anyways... they did their story last night and I don't see whats so special about it. In fact, I am even more surprised to see it posted on Slashdot.

    The submitter also forgot to check the actual eBay auction before posting.. This morning it was sitting at around $2,550 and as of right now, at 2:30 CST it's around $15,000.

    So... whats going to happen? He gets a lot of press from it, people run up the fradulent bid and he never gets paid. The End.

    Here's the link to the auction... and the link to his website..

  11. Re:3 microseconds per _what_? on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    Well.. that earth rotates once every 24 hours right? So, by the article, that means that the day is shortened by 3 microseconds.

  12. Re:Non-effective name on B612 Foundation and 2004 YD5 Asteroid Capture? · · Score: 1

    Well... The B613 Foundation was just too demeaning.

  13. Re:Color me surprised... on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: 1
    It didn't take that long.

    My guess is that the MPAA waited around to see how RIAA was going to handle Napster, Kazaa and the myriads of other clones out there. The process that seems to be working is send C&D letters, sue the IP address and force the ISP to reveal the true identity. The MPAA didn't have to jump in so fast because movie piracy just wasn't as big as music was at the time. You had to download huge files that took most people days to complete. Now... with BitTorrent and the rising use of broadband in homes now.. the process can take less than 12 hours.

  14. GigaWhat? on The Ten Worst Products of the Year · · Score: 5, Funny
    "You'd think that with a name like "GigaFast," the WF717-APR router would deliver a great performance, but you'd be GigaWrong. Buy this one and you'll end up GigaSad in no time."

    Could the article be anymore GigaLame?

  15. Re:Which Site? on Illegal File Trading Draws Two P2P Raids In Europe · · Score: 1
    "Considering the "Police say the site had 10,000 users, all Finnish" quote in the article, and the fact that Suprnova is still up fine, i'm guessing not."

    You're right... Suprnova has way more than 10,000 users.

  16. Woo Hoo! on Computers Linked to Glaucoma? · · Score: 4, Funny

    And we all know what helps Glaucoma... right? Always reminds me of the classic Simpsons episode. All the pretty colors, huge donuts, and of course flying to work and then forgetting about everything. Ahh.. I can't wait!

  17. Voter fraud! on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1, Informative

    Well... it looks like we already have our first reports of voter fraud in Phildaelphia, atleast, according to Drudge. I have been trying to see if I can find out if it's true or not through the Election Incident Reporting System (EIRS). So far, their site has been very, very slow to respond. Anyways.. Drudge says that there are reports of over 2,000 votes already being casted on voting machines BEFORE the polls were even open. Is anyone in Phily that can corroborate the stories? Nothing I have seen thus far says which candidate the votes were casted for, but I am very curious...

    Here you go. These are the drafts that are sitting in the House. And I bet you couldn't guess who they are sponsored by? I'll give you a hint, it's not the Reoublicans and Bush.

    Well, unfortunately Moore didn't show you everything that happened when he went around interviewing Congressmen. He actually did run into a congressman that had 2 kids in the service... Oh, but he didn't show you that part did he? It wouldn't fit the message he was trying to show now would it?
