  1. Reactions on Spamming Google Maps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Interesting to compare the response generated by this article to another where a group of open-source advocates built a crop circle in the shape of the firefox logo. As a community, our response to the giant firefox logo was overwhelmingly positive, while this article has had an overwhelmingly negative response. What makes this one spam, but the firefox advocacy a cool way to spend a weekend?

  2. Through the PIN ?!? on New Optical Security Doesn't Require Embedment · · Score: 2, Funny
    The optical keys contain information and are distributed to an individual through a personal identification number (PIN).
    The files are *in* the computer?!?
  3. Easy answer to the Adware Problem on Yahoo Anti-Spy Favors Yahoo's Adware Partners? · · Score: 1

    If you're really that concerned about spyware/adware/anything at all on your computer, you an fix it in three easy steps!

    Step 1: Unplug your network cable. This will prevent you from installing, intentionally or otherwise, any spyware/adware. Additionally, it will disable most of the spyware/adware on your computer because these generally depend on the internet to get the ads they are serving you! Two birds with one stone!

    Step 2: Start your computer up at a command prompt. Type 'FORMAT C:'. This will completely eliminate all the unwanted files from your computer!

    Step 3 (Optional): For the true anti-adware user, you should consider removing the computer from your desk and using a handheld calculator for all your computational needs. Nobody has even written adware for the TI-86 to the best of my knowledge!
