    Oh that's simple. go2linux wouldn't get any advertising revenue by slashvertising their site if they linked to the actual post in a mailman archive. Of course, I could be wrong, and go2linux may be intending to donate today's advertising income to support their favourite FLOSS project, but somehow I doubt it.

  6. Re:TFA: one page, less advertising on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    There are still two prominent flash advertisements on the print page. IMO, that is more than a reasonable amount of advertising to be viewing when reading a relatively short article. OTOH, TFA had 3 prominent advertisements per page, a substantial "partnered content" section and "featured links", on every single page of the article chopped up into 5-pages. I presume the 2 popups per page view the site attempted to spawn (that firefox blocked) would also have been advertisements, totaling 25+ advertisements, 4 additional clicks, plus substantial crud I am required to wade through just to read the relatively short amount of content. No thanks, I clicked on TFA and immediately looked for the "print" button.

  8. Personal motivation? on New IAB Chair Defends DNSSEC · · Score: 4, Funny

    My personal motivation to work in this space is that I want to allow my now 3- and 6-year old children to make use of the Internet based on the same core principles as I now know them.

    You really want your 3- and 6-year olds to inherit the spam-ridden porn-fest we have today? That's just mean. Think of the children!

  9. No, there's only one father on Semi-Identical Twins Discovered · · Score: 1

    No, we're not talking about two different fathers, but two sperm from the same father, each divided (in some proportion) between the two children. So the genetic make up is as follows:

    First child:

    50% - Suzie
    23% - Joe Sperm A
    27% - Joe Sperm B

    Second Child:

    50% - Suzie
    27% - Joe Sperm A
    23% - Joe Sperm B

    Of course, those aren't the actual percentages of genetic makeup from each sperm in each child, but this illustrates the point.

    You're right of course, clearly a company like vote-rigging Diebold won't see the error of their ways until they get kicked out of court with their tail between their legs, but a few quick messages will at least cause some water-cooler conversation and a bit of laughing behind the backs of the execs who initiated such an inane lawsuit.

  12. Re:Insanely arrogant USA judges on Spammer That Sued Spamhaus Now Sued for Spamming · · Score: 2, Informative

    This statement requires substantiating evidence.

    Here you go: http://www.spamsuite.com/files/e360vSpamhausNotice Removal.pdf

    By submitting the notice of removal instead of a defence of no jurisdiction, Spamhaus shot themselves in the foot, and submitted by default to the jurisdiction of the Illinois court.

  13. Re:The Ultimate .Forward on Spammer That Sued Spamhaus Now Sued for Spamming · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the problem is the Illinois court does have jurisdiction over the UK company, the reason - if I remember correctly - is that instead of initially presenting the defence of no jurisdiction (which likely would have been ruled in Spamhaus's favour), Spamhaus initially requested the case be transferred to the federal court rather than Illinois, thereby submitting de facto to the jurisdiction of the Illinois court. A defence of no jurisdiction has to be presented in a very specific way at the right time, and Spamhaus f***ed that up big time.
