  1. Of course that's not going to work on Opting Out Increases Spam? · · Score: 1

    No, no, no. Opting out that way will not work.

    You have to add your email address to the brand new antispam database. Just post your email address in a message in here and one of us will add it to the database for you.

  2. Re:Good to Hear on A Reprieve For Net Radio? · · Score: 1

    Why download hundreds of mp3s when I can listen to the same music streaming from the internet?

    Because my employer blocks streaming audio feeds like this. Something about lots of employees doing this during the day and chewing up the company's bandwidth that should be for customers (or for /.ing ).
  3. Re:2nd time I've heard this on Pyramid Stones Were Poured, Not Quarried · · Score: 1

    The first time was when a researcher about 10 years ago (give or take 10) claimed they were poured because he found a human hair embedded in one.

    So how in the word do you explain how Jimmy Hoffa ended up in Egpyt?
  4. Re:Easily by-passed on Microsoft DRM To Get Even Tighter · · Score: 5, Funny

    And whatever you do, don't cross the streams. That would be bad. Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

    Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip.

  6. Re:Keeping me warm on Allergy-Free Kittens Produced · · Score: 1

    Why would you pay $4000 for a cat like that when you can get the same thing right now by getting a Siberian Cat? Nearly 3 years ago we purchased a Siberian from a breeder for $600. Being deathly allergic to cats I were concerned about reaction but the cat regularly sleeps right up on the pillow next to my head, so it's almost as if there was no allergy.

    The wikipedia entry lists a few but a quick Google will find lots more.

    I know it flew above you, but parent is trying to be funny - ala Cargenie Mellon University - there is NO such school. hint:try your spell checker

  8. Microsoft's Fresh Start program - Free Windows OS on Linux vs. Windows for Schools? · · Score: 1

    Through Microsoft's Fresh Start program for schools, all donated PCs can get a NEW copy of Windows. For FREE (as in beer). All you have to do is prove they were donations (which I expect they were and you can) and you can get a new copy of the OS for each machine.

  9. Re:Is it a response to spyware? on Dell Pre-Installing Firefox in UK · · Score: 1
    I imagine that Dell's support costs for helping people remove spyware are ASTRONOMICAL


    I've worked with two separate people recently with Dell issues that were OS related (one spyware, one BSOD), and both times they were referred to 'pay per incident' support which I assumed it meant they were pushing the support off on M$. It may be these two did not purchase the correct 'support' but they were going to be charged and arm and a leg for something that took me 15 minutes and I got paid in beer.

    I'd be interested in seeing if they offered a 'bumper to bumper' warranty type thing.
  10. Re:Here's a thought on Developing Securely In Windows · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, if an Admin is playing CDs on his Windows 2003 Server, he deserves to have his system hacked.

  11. Re:How about the open source? on Real Story of the Rogue Rootkit · · Score: 1
    Bah, sure it did. Didn't RTFA?

    This drama is also about incompetence. Sony's latest rootkit-removal tool actually leaves a gaping vulnerability. And Sony's rootkit -- designed to stop copyright infringement -- itself may have infringed on copyright. As amazing as it might seem, the code seems to include an open-source MP3 encoder in violation of that library's license agreement.
  12. Re:OS-X? on CA Warns Of Massive Botnet Attack · · Score: 1

    Bah, it's not just Windows. Mac OS X version 10.3.9 (Panther) and Mac OS X Server version 10.3.9 have holes too:

    Of course, there are many many more Windows machines that can be infected, and maybe those OSX machines can't be used this way, but...

    Hey, that's not a UFO - that's the overshot of that Tinfoil Hat house! Maybe there's something to putting tinfoil all over...

  14. Re:Go Daddy vs Register.com on Go Daddy Usurps Network Solutions · · Score: 1

    GoDaddy does let you use DNS without hosting there. I do it for a few of my sites. Like another /.er said, it's a little harder to manage but you *can* do it. I just wish they would allow dynamic DNS updates.

  15. Re:erm on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1
    But that's just it - everyone is not railing on them because they are star wars fans. They are being railed on because they are standing in line for the sake of standing in line - to gain some notice for their 'cause'...
    "The telling thing is -- for me, at least -- if the film is not playing at the Chinese ... I have zero desire to see it at all," a fan who calls himself Obi Geewhyen posted on the message board at Liningup.net. "I'm in it for the lineup only and don't give a darn about the conclusion of this lackluster, so-called 'Star Wars' series."
    That is why they are losers, IMHO. Standing in line to see a movie they don't want to see, with a name like Obi Geewhyen and even better - being at the wrong theater.

    Visa debit cards are covered under their 'zero liability fraud' policy. They've been advertising it pretty heavy lately with that lady in the parking lot that has all the super heros come to her rescue. lame. http://usa.visa.com/personal/security/zero_liabili ty.html/
