  1. client Spam Detection on Spam Levels Lowest Since 2009 · · Score: 1

    What sort of spam detection are people using on clients?

  2. Commercial space missions alone can't quite cut it on NASA's Commercial Plans for Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 1

    I'm all for it, but I have my doubts that anyone is going to invest several million to launch a Mars exploration mission with no profits whatsoever in the forseeable future.

  3. So they're openining a theme park? on NASA's Commercial Plans for Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 1

    All the tourists going there will finally have space-o-rama roller coasters and extraterrestial-terror-haunted-space-shutte train ride?

  4. "spam" morphed to "ad sponsored" on Spam Levels Lowest Since 2009 · · Score: 1

    There is now so much advertising everywhere that "spam" is starting to become an old, obsolete and minor nuisance.

    funny I have a similar arrangement, gmail for real uses, hotmail for lame uses.

  6. Re:Frist Sapm! on Spam Levels Lowest Since 2009 · · Score: 1

    The mispelling makes it "authentic spam". Selling vi/\gra or marital assistance products however would score higher.

  7. Reasons? on Spam Levels Lowest Since 2009 · · Score: 1

    Because the email spammers found other, more profitable and efficient methods to spread advertising onto the web?

  8. Re:Believe? on Fedora Infrastructure Compromised · · Score: 1

    Logs can be faked. How about a bitwise comparison to the known-good package system?

    Fake information can be even more useful, if you detect it's fake of course.

  9. Re:I suggest on Third of Content On Popular BT Portals Are Fake · · Score: 2

    the very fact that we spend time and effort to pick through the files choosing which one we want shows there is a lot of crap you will download, if you are not careful. there is no expectation that the first one or any one is authentic, good, complete, etc.

  10. Re:I need to hand in my geek card... on Fedora Infrastructure Compromised · · Score: 1

    I only recently discovered what the hell does "fedora" mean apart from a Linux distro.

  11. Developing story on Fedora Infrastructure Compromised · · Score: 1

    These things take time to analyze. Surely they will be finding out more things.

  12. Re:Same ratio as /. on Third of Content On Popular BT Portals Are Fake · · Score: 1

    He doesn't say there is NO real content. The fact that you and me know how to filter, look around, analyze and select the real files and ignore the rest doesn't mean the other 99,9% of the files we just ignore because we know better are any good. In fact, I would think most people agree that apart from the one file you found, if you consider all of the rest, some very large percentage is either fake or useless, crap, or is not downloadable.

  13. Nooooo, really? Fake warez of fake porn? No way! on Third of Content On Popular BT Portals Are Fake · · Score: 1

    It can't be. From where I am watching, these boobs, asses, and orgasms look 100% real. Besides, like, there's no fake stuff anywhere in my modern life, there's just too much government, inspection, lawyers, insurance and all that. The movies are not fake, the acting is not fake, the stories are not fake, the news is not fake, the point of profit and money is not fake, the mission statement of my company is not fake, my job is not fake, the reason I get up to work everyday is not fake, the food I eat is not fake. It's all 100% authenticated by authentic authorities, how could anything be fake?

  15. Re:Death threats, my ass... on ACS: Law Withdraws Pursuing Illegal File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    Those who received such letters may pursue ACS: Law for harrassment, said law firm Ralli, which represents some of the defendants.

    that's some nice news and consolation for whoever was indeed subject to harrassment.

    Yay!

  17. Re:Translation on ACS: Law Withdraws Pursuing Illegal File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    Translation: ACS:Law sensed they were about to lose, and are trying to withdraw to avoid actually having a precedent set which could hurt their MafiAA-type overlords.

    Thanks for that. The debate would have been much less useful without clear translation. I wish there were "translation" like this for things more often and more easily, often it's near impossible to figure out what the hell is behind a particular story...

  18. " ...terrorists! " on ACS: Law Withdraws Pursuing Illegal File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    Pretty sad when people will actually scream "terrorist" as a fake distraction. It shows how much credibility the term has left in it, every politician and their mother has screamed "terrorists!" for one advantage or another. He should be forced to back up that assertion or be accused of perjury or whatever.

    Iran's president was elected too. Illegitimate election is still an election.

  20. Re:The pope should just shut the fuck up. on Pope Promotes Christian Netiquette · · Score: 1

    it's true that the more corrupt the things you say and the more fools listen, the more likely you are to make the news. Unfortunate, but reality. Lots of other influential people are chosen through even less direct methods, such as the managers of companies and judges. And whether we like it or not, about a billion people listen to what he says and pay some form of attention, so it's relevant, whether we agree or not. While a corporate talking head or a dictator gets media time, this fool will most likely get the same.

    Any lawsuit filed, even one you can successfully defend against, is a pain to deal with and causes emotional stress. It's good to see practices like these become less popular.

    Emotional stress, money stress, and a hell of a lot more.

  24. Using the law to abuse the law on ACS: Law Withdraws Pursuing Illegal File-Sharers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It wouldn't be the first or last of "brilliant" lawyers to find ways to abuse the spirit of the law while following the letter of the law. Defamation, copyright, patent, trademark, licenses, brands, contracts, a number of things are created which ultimately are applied in such a manner as to become a legalized form of censorship.

    The two words "fork oracle" carry such power, attraction and brightness that they are enough to obfuscate anything else that was written.
