  2. If a cashier on Currency Detection Discovered in More Products · · Score: 1
    Can't tell real currency from fake currency printed on photo-quality or inkjet paper, (s)he should not be a cashier.

    Not to mention it's standard policy where I used to work to inspect currency larger than 5 for "That strip."

    The companies do care. They just don't give a flying fuck.

Hey, Bobby Sue, lookie here, it says here in my e-lectronic mail that they've get these new fangeled pills that can enlarge my penis. Heeeee hah! I'm saving this here message and if I can't find these babies at Wal-Mart then I'll just click this here website and buy these puppies. Your 4 credit cards aren't still maxed out is they Bobby Sue?"

    I thought Etch-a-Sketch pads were spam resistant.

  8. Re:A message to advertisers... on Pop-Up Ads Lead to Consumer Revolt, Ad-Blocking · · Score: 1
    How long before spam filters recognize when a message has an alphanumeric word in it (ignoring URLs). How about messages with bogus html tags? Tags within the header (I see many tags in the subject line.)

    Microsoft Word seems to know when a sentence is well-written (much of the time). Why can't spam filters do the same?

    Now that's a Lose-Lose Proposition! The Devil (DMCA) verses Hell (popups).

    No kidding. I ran AdAware on a neighbor's computer the other day and found 800 spyware objects. He had Gator, Lop, WebHancer, and everything else and their brothers.

    The bads ones spawn 4 new popups if you try to close them.

    Solution: disable JS before you close the window. Then close it. That window may still have JS running in it, but the 4 windows that popup will be neutered.

  14. Re:DoubleClick Violates DMCA? on Pop-Up Ads Lead to Consumer Revolt, Ad-Blocking · · Score: 1

    I checked sears, viewed source, and not a single byte to be found. As far as RealSpyer, uh, Player, I am sure that these companies are being paid by them to use that formant so that viewer have to download RealSpyware to view the media. I for one, will never load any RealSpyware on my computer.

    The pop-up ads advertising pop-up ad filters

    Can you say........ SPYWARE?????

    Seems to me this might be their strategic plan to confuse the consumer base about ad blocking. They are simply trying to pollute the adblocking environment with tainted adblockers.

    I don't care how rich those b@$t@rds are, One of these days, they are going to run out of money trying to sue every last P2P user.

    On an introductory note, my name is localhost, this is my first post ever to slashdot after being a lurker for the last two months. I used to use Napster (it rocked for a while), but that went to hell after the RIAA choked it to death. Then I switched to another one that was decent too until I moved to an "ISP" that blocked it. I primarily get my media by checking out CDs and DVDs from my not-so-local library system that rocks.
