  1. Re:Fun With... on Fun with Prime Numbers · · Score: 1

    I believe I calculated the first million primes way before this article did. Are they infringing on my IP? what are my legal posibilities? This guy wrote a book, might be for some good cash.

  5. Re:Here's my reply to those things on Sydney 419 Scammer Jailed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hah! They won't even care to reply to a direct question such as: "Yes, but can I have the info faxed?" Or anything else. they will just resend you the email, acting as if they cant read at all. They are not smart at all, they are just bulk mailing everyone,when they finaly get some of the data they just report it to smarter people who make all the money.

  6. Re:The application process on Researcher Only High Bandwidth Network · · Score: 1

    So it was you who was saturating bignaturals.com from our school network? That explains why you were tucking over your laptop on the corner during Rob Malda's visit.

    I understand the hybrid part but missed on the "build your own" part. It's not like you can just plug it into a civic.

  13. Re:Python is a reality on Larry Wall's State of the Onion 8 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would agree. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) has now changed the undergrad/cs/engineering curriculum and has made Python the FIRST language that students learn. GT is especially known for the engineering program and python is being used a lot by scientists and engineers around campus.

    SCRATCH THAT. They have Already LOST credibility in the Biz World

  16. SCO is about to loose business credibility. on SCO Linux Licenses Could Increase In Price · · Score: 0

    They are about to loose credibility in the biz world. The few companies that are willing to pay would accept the higher price, granted the company believes that they are using stolen linux code. Car insurance is car insurance, when one company has a monopoly I'm willing to pay any reasonable price for it. This is Basic Supply and Demand

  20. Re:WMD on Artificial Prion Created · · Score: 0

    what's wrong with malarya, or other deseases like aids. They could just have someone with aids bleed to death in the "water supply". Poison is not the probelm, guarding and monitoring the supply is. Its a step forward though, they more they know about it, the more they know how to stop it.

  21. The test doesn't have phishing URLs on Phish Scams Fooling 28% of Users · · Score: 1, Informative

    One of the common tricks I use to tell if someone is phishing is to compare the actual URL link with the one displayed in the test. That is, does the HREF match what's printed on the screen? If not, hit delete faster than a fat girl running towards chocolate. Easiest way to tell as the e-mails are looking more and more legitimate.

    I got one for PayPal asking me to update my account information that had a bad link. Also got me since I had just moved and was in the habit of updating account information for sites!
