    um...

    what internet explorer (jack-of-all-trades) app scheme? and how is mozilla following? netscape had mail and news from at least version 2

    have you tried portsentry?

  3. Re:dpi? on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's not all that standard, but there is a reason for it. Typographic points are 1/72 of an inch. To help with cracking into that market, Mac displays have traditionally had about that resolution.

    It's a similar rationale for having the Amiga's clock rate as the NTSC clock.

  4. Re:Sun's display is still better and matches on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz (16:10 aspect ratio mode)

    what's it matching again?

    not all atms have cameras. standalone machines in convenience stores, bars, on the street, etc. don't always have cameras except for what's in the store

    another thing to do would be to use the many "use debit-card and get cash back" services.

    sounds more like it was brought to you by the letters T, H, and C

  7. Re:So endorse it on Reverse Graffiti · · Score: 1

    for bathrooms, it is useful to put a piece of butcher paper on the wall so people can doodle on that instead of the wall itself.

    completely unrelated is the freight elevator at my old school's student union. it was repainted two years ago.

    some of the new graffiti on there features:

    "JIM WUZ HERE 94" < - - - LIAR!!!

    "If you want some good music, go look for it on Kazaa where there isn't a problem with DRM. Then go out and support those bands you like."

    Most of my favorite music is available mostly on vinyl only.

    No problems with DRM there. :)

  12. Re:It should... on Beastie Boys Respond to DRM Claims · · Score: 1

    that's usually with track 1 as audio, not as data, which i think is a different standard.

    sdbot is a trojan (it even says so in the description!). what you think is the definition of a worm is the definition of a virus. a worm does not attach itself to other executables.

  16. Re:This may sound crazy... on Rocket Hobbyists Get Blown Away by Regulations · · Score: 1

    hey, asking other people to die is easy, especially if you ask them in a forum they don't read, and never get a response. killing yourself off for science is a bit more daring.

    Macs take Chaser?

  18. Re:The key to avoid phone spam on 429,000 Do-Not-Call Complaints · · Score: 1

    Here's an address that has never been given out to anyone, so it's even more annoying.

    It's not very hard to send spam to mobile phones.

    Just go through (known area code)(random 7 digits)@(wirelessprovider) and ignore all failures

    right, because that would be cost-effective.

    well, they took out the ability to fake referers and user-agent strings (one of the two at least)
