1 Get an webmail address with a SPAM filter that lets you see your SPAM messages before deleting them (or use a pop account and email client)
2 Go into your SPAM folder once a day (or less) and skim the list for legitimate emails
3 If SPAM folder contains more than 50 messages a day, get a new account and stop giving out your email all of the time!
4 Clear out the SPAM
5 GOTO Line 2
If you need help with 1, send me some faux-SPAM and I'll find your email and send you a gmail invite. When people rely on a computer to know what they want to read, it is inevitable that the machine will delete a legitimate email. Whitelists take more effort to maintain than the simple procedure above.
Spyware on My Machine? - I run several operating systems (Mac OS X, linux, etc.) and I've never heard of this so-called "spyware."
So What? - Bad Title. Out.
Minniapple's Mini Radio Stations - Bad spelling. Right out.
The Masters of Memory Lane - OK the title's legit, but if you read the article, it says "sources: O. Whatshisname"
Could someone summarize, for some reason i get a "Forbidden You do not have permission to access TFA on this server." Boy, I'm glad I don't live in China!
They just hang from time to time if you use your blinker and your wipers at the same time. Just push CruiseCTRL+ALTernator+DELetePanelOnStereoConsole and Force Quit the blinker.

For those of you complaining that the number is an overestimate because of multiple versions, reinstalls, etc. Think about this: How many office admins, husbands, wives, friends etc. have burned a copy of firefox onto disk or keep a copy on a thumdrive and have used this to install on more than one machine? Think about it. Before the Internet, millions of people had applications that were downloaded nonce.
According to the company, the Messenger servers handle about 70 million users.
I bet a good fraction of those 70 million hits are a result of the MSN messenger startup item opening up and immediately getting a right-click-system-tray->exit after a restart of windows.
use zoneedit for all of your (free) dns needs. Then find free webhosting from a place like funpic (no ads and only limit is ind. file size = 1MB) and you've got a hosted website for $8.95/yr.
Shashdot article 2 years from now: AVG becomes the first antivirus software to recognize the following files as malicious: acsd.exe, aim.exe, aolacsd.exe, aoltray.exe, companion.exe, oscore.dll, shellmon.exe, wanmpsvc.exe. The creators of these files target the elderly and computer illiterate by stuffing their snail mail boxes with cds containing copies of the harmful executables. The user is then deceived by the program to believe nonsense such as AOL==email or AOL==The Internet. The viruses apparently migrate from the host computer directly into the minds of the users. Once infected, the users find themselves writing checks each month to AOL for what their corrupted minds perceive as "services" provided by the AOL viruses.
The only known method for disinfection is to have the user's grandson/granddaughter (who is visiting for Thanksgiving) delete the memory (of the host computer AND the user), reinstall the OS and console the user with a gmail invite (which now has 2TB+ of storage and is, of course, still in beta).

This is wierd. It is the 19th hit (on the second page) of a google search for "trustrank" It requires a login from google's results page, but a google's cache reveals a directory including the paper linked to by/.
I guess we weren't supposed to read this. And you shouldn't have read *this*!

1. Download Ubuntu Linux
2. Burn to CD
3. Boot from CD
4. Install over Windows
For some reason this completely removed IE from my computer!
Note: This procedure may also change your desktop background. You have been warned!

I thought vi killed both of these guys before they were born.
Sorry, just hacked microsoft's site instead. I wish people would check their URL's before submitting articles to /.
Done! Check out this screenshot
To settle any debate, Yes, they did change it back and Yes, I did get an XBox!
Sony has found a way to write files off to the new UMD disks for the PSP.

Yes, but how many redundant posts will be mislabeled "Funny"?
How many redundant posts will we see in this thread?
That makes me wonder though, how many duplicate posts will we see in this thread?

Netcraft has tracked and blocked 5,600 known phishing sites
Yes, but how many unknown phishing sites have they tracked and blocked?

Does this for instance imply that there is water in the air on mars?
Actually, the presence of wind implies there is life on Mars! How could we have missed this?!
Check it:
There is wind on Earth.
There is life on Earth.
There is wind on Mars.
Therefore, there is life on Mars.
Try to patent this technique - oh, you can't cause it's prior art. It's my birthday! It's my birthday!
Please note, my patent on this technique will likely serve irrelevant as the same logic implies that the universe is really a pokemon watch!
