  1. It's a dupe... on Not Life After Death -- Email After Death · · Score: 0, Redundant
  2. Re:My Biggest Problem on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 1

    I guess that would depend on how interesting the bot thought your email was.

    Do you have any proof? Or is this a mindless troll?

  3. Re:My Biggest Problem on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 1

    or at least added to the to-do list

    How do I get to the to-do list again? I remember there being a link on all the pages but I can't find it now.

  4. Re:Well it is not all about space on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 1

    switch to Outlook Express for accessing your hotmail account. Fast working, no advertisements, and keyboard shortcuts.

    Not security conscious, only works on 1 computer... Sorry. I -was- trying to think of benefits to using OE. I'm just not very good at it.

    Now is there an alternative for Gmail? Because it too suffers from that problem.

  7. Re:Interesting Academic Exercise on Assessing Internet Viruses Like Human Epidemics · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's insightful cause the mods are idiots? It was an attempt at Funny. I've given up on trying to get modded appropriately. If I get a mod whether it be -1 Flame-bait or whatever I'm happy cause it means at least SOMEONE read my post.

    I don't even rely on the last one and I've been virus free for the past 9 years!

    Or so you think

    Are you saying I can contract aids from my hand? I better get out the latex gloves then...

  10. Re:turning linux? on Is Sun Turning against Linux and Red Hat? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I personally can't stand redhat they are the MS of the linux world.

    Oh I wasn't aware they had a Linux monopoly and were guilty of abusing that monopoly. Oh wait, they're not. This is just a typical Slashdot troll who doesn't like Red Hat, and because he doesn't like Red Hat and he doesn't like Microsoft they must be very similar within their own fields.

    Don't blame him for posting this garbage. It's rewarded around here. After all, he has a +3 Insightful.

  11. Re:I just don't get the allure of VOIP on AT&T Announces VoIP Program · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It sounds like it isn't targetted to you. Your post is the equivalent of a blind person saying "I don't get the allure of porn"

    Your new here aren't you?

    There's something wrong with that.

  16. What a troll on Sony Adopts Blu-ray Disc PlayStation 3 · · Score: 1

    As someone else said FFX has an option to have shorter summonings. The quality of the FF summonings will most likely increase rather then a "10 minute" summoning. Honestly, this was either an attempt at Funny or just a troll.

  17. Re:that on New California Law Bans Anonymous Media File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Got a link for that? Because that makes it from a "sending any copyrighted material not your own" to "illegally sending any copyrighted material."

  18. Waitaminute on New California Law Bans Anonymous Media File Sharing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    it doesn't say "true name and address" in a form accessible to other people. So therefore you can encrypt your name and address :)

  19. Re:It will never survive. on New California Law Bans Anonymous Media File Sharing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Conclusion: it only applies to works for which you are not the copyright owner.

    My friend Bob is an indi singer. He shows me a song and says "hey, feel free to distribute it wherever you want, I want to get my name out dude." I am forced to provide my e-mail address, name and home address. Sorry, I don't like providing any of that info except when I want too. I think Bob's song is shit so I don't want my home address associated on my website.

    This is all a moot point if it isn't commercial. Perhaps at the end of the song he has an advertisement by a company. That's commercial according to the dictionary. He plans to put it on his CD and sell it, that causes the copyrighted work to be commercial.

    Notice I haven't mentioned anything illegal. I haven't even mentioned a p2p network. But I'm still affected. (Thankfully I don't like Bob anymore so I'd tell him to fuck off).

  20. Re:Yes, it's true... on Whois Record Falsification Closer To Illegality · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should have ticked the "Post Anonymously" box then.

  21. How strange on Accelerating IPv6 Adoption With Proxy Servers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I saw a link to this on another thread. I'm only posting to see which article this is.

  22. Re:WHAT???? on Order in the e-Court! · · Score: 1

    Wait, wait, wait. All the people who have the opinion (of themselves) that if they do the crime they should get the punishment are all sound of mind. Except for those whose punishment is the death penalty? Perhaps he believed in the death penalty and believed he did the crime so he should have the punishment. I don't think that's insane, I think it's moral (then again I don't believe in the death penalty, but assuming he does).

  23. Re:death? on Order in the e-Court! · · Score: 1

    a lot of guilty pleas are entered because people know they have no chance and are ready to give up and get on with their lives.

    Somehow I don't think that was his ploy. Unless he believes in life after death.

    And he got a death sentence? Shit, I didn't know Texas was so strict.

  25. Oh dear this is amusing on Wikipedia Hits Million-Entry Mark · · Score: 1

    this is actually a copy and paste from a post I made in the "Wikipedia != Authoritive" article a while back. It was an experiment to see if I could just post the same shit and still get modded insightful.

    Oh well, you can mod this back down to oblivion now. I just wanted to see what would happen :)
