I read that entire article about the man not owning a TV. I would be fine if he just didn't own one, but he's to the point of being extremely obnoxious. That's absurd. If I met him, I would punch him in the face.
Yeah. Thanks to spammers, I didn't get into the Playstation HOME beta. I saw the link and it was an unknown address, so I didn't click it. Turns out that it was the real deal..:-/
Most people know to look at it to make SURE that it goes to Bank of America, but many don't. It will help, but won't solve the problem.
I disagree with charging 50K. Just restrict it. Not everyone can register.gov. If you charge 50K to a smaller bank (like the one my girlfriend uses.. Union National Community Bank), they won't do it. They could spend that 50K on something else. I think they should charge more to offset researching costs. They should research all banks that apply for a.bank domain. If they charged $500, it would be much more reasonable and could offset cost of researching the bank before approval.
THAT would work much better.
I know that, personally, I get about 5 e-mails to confirm my Bank of America account per day. Obviously scams. (and yes, I use Bank of America)
What about the terrible costs from cell phone providers? We were with Sprint for about a year of our two year contract and we moved to an area without signal, so we asked them if we could cancel without the $150 per phone (we had 2 phones) cancellation fee. They said sure. So, when we moved and cancelled, no matter who we talked to, they all told us that we had to pay $300. I hate cell phone companies.
Not really. I'm sure it will be well worth it in a year or so. I can't wait for Unreal Tournament 2007. Resistance is a great game too. I'll be using it for Folding@Home as well.
At least they didn't have manufacturing problems like the Xbox 360 *still* does. (when are they shrinking the die size anyways?)
I use Thunderbird and after about a month of training the filters, it gets about 90% of my spam. The only thing is that if someone who hasn't e-mailed me before e-mails me, it goes to spam.:( It seems to be so strict that it only trusts people I e-mail. At least it figured out which e-mails are REALLY from eBay, PayPal, and Bank of America and which ones aren't. I've learned not to click any links from e-mail but to go straight to the address. Still, I check every single spam message I receive (400 a day or so), just to make sure. It's such a pain. If I ever get my hands on someone who writes the trojans that do all this, I'm going to have to beat their face into a pulp. It's caused me way too much trouble.
Yes, Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) is a French company. I don't see any reason why they would use Mandriva over anything else, other than Mandriva being French.
I do a lot of computer technical support and one thing that I have found Google to be extremely useful for is spyware lookup. All I do is type the name of the process in and 90% of the time, the first or second link will tell me (right on the Google summary; without even clicking) if it is malware or not.

I do agree with you, though. It's a good idea.
That's a good idea. Seems to me that it could stop a lot of phishing, but not all of it. You still have people making links like:

.gov. If you charge 50K to a smaller bank (like the one my girlfriend uses.. Union National Community Bank), they won't do it. They could spend that 50K on something else.

The Chimera are spreading again?!? I thought I just defeated them in Resistance: Fall of Man. Time to go slaughter them again!
I hope the world doesn't get overrun by the Chimera again!
Forgive me if this was mentioned in the article, but where is NetHack? I briefly scanned the article and didn't see it mentioned.
I keep getting this kind of spam:

Anyone have any idea what it says? I sure don't... Just Yahoo and DVD. It's really annoying when I can't even understand my spam!

I sort of hope that they drop the price so more will sell, but I spent $647.99 on my PS3. =(
Jeeves doesn't know. Jeeves does know, however, that American Idol and Britney Spears used to be the top search terms.

At least I was closer than saying it originated from Slashdot.
You do realize that "In Soviet Russia, x y's you!" came from Family Guy...
Anyways, it's true that some places are still sold out, but many places have an overstock.

Sadly, I agree. And I'm not kidding.
I realize that he was using sarcasm, but I really didn't understand what he was getting at.
No; I have no clue what you're referring to. Please inform me...

Here is the link to the Kubuntu DVD's: (torrents)

Yeah, they don't seem to be up yet. :( I am waiting for those. I won't even bother trying it out until I can burn a DVD.
" Would that mean if I used ReiserFS that I support murder?
....Supporting Microsoft is supporting murder. Remember Ballmer and his plans to "...fucking kill Google?" Fucking kill(tm)
Better than supporting Microsoft.

There is little reason to still be running SP1??? I hate SP2 with a passion. It's horrible.
