  1. Re:What's that smell? on 12.8 Petabytes, You Say? · · Score: 1

    Dammit, I was gonna say that. Good work, isomeme.

  2. My Score on Most Web Users Unable to Spot Spyware · · Score: 1

    I got 6 out of 8 (both of my misses were regarding P2P software). What did you get?

  3. Re:Identity theft? on Gmail Mis.delivered? · · Score: 1

    I have pinano@gmail.com as one of my e-mail addresses; I attempted to register pi.na.no@gmail.com and it told me it was not available. Apparently this problem has either been resolved, or it is intermittent.

  4. Re:Identity theft? on Gmail Mis.delivered? · · Score: 1

    What about wholesale account stealing? Apparently there is a feature where you can change the periods in your name to look however you wanted them... I will be back in about 10 minutes with further research results.

  5. My Adblock filters on Spam is Dead · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I didn't even notice that TFA had ads. My Mozilla AdBlock filters are pretty minimal, too:

    *.falkag.net/*
    http://adserver./
    *.atdmt.com/*
    *.indieclick.com/*
    http://adsrvr./
    *.burstnet.com/*
    *.tribalfusion.*
    *.doubleclick.net*
    *.loanweb.com*
    */ad.asp?*
    */ads/*
    */sponsors.*
    */advertise/*
    */adimage.php?*
    *googlesyndication.com*
    *personals.yahoo.com*
    */banners/*
    http://ads./
    *.valueclick.com/*
    *.chitika.net/*
    */bannerads/*
    */marketing/*
    *.adrevolver.com/*
    *&adspace=*

    24 filters, and I don't see more than 10 or 15 ads a DAY. I can't beat Yahoo, though, because they store their ads right in with the pictures for news articles and stuff. Keenspot uses the same dirty trick; I can't read some Keenspot comics without having to see Keenspot ads.

  6. Re:3 Dead Trolls in a Baggie on Data Mining Amazon.com Wish Lists · · Score: 1

    Why is parent OT? I think it's very useful advice to know that you don't really have to provide your real name, gender, race, religion, etc... in most online transactions. The song needs a little work, though...
