    correct.. i have no problem with a publicly traded company.. i do have problems with companies whose goal and purpose is to manipulate the market for their own benefit and not the benefit of society as a whole.

  3. Re:Absolutely required. on Ask Slashdot: Is Reverse DNS a Worthy Standard For Fighting Spam? · · Score: 1

    right but if your trying to spoof a legit domain then you can't make your rDNS IP & client DNS name and address line up. sure the spammer can just use their own domain normally and it will line up - but for anything above normal spam you wouldn't be able to spoof another domain. the big issue with using rDNS is it screws over shared hosts - and the easy solution to that makes it useless for blocking spam

    i do wish you could edit comments to fix errors like that.

    I do try not to perpetuate the norms that have formed here - but rather the norm of what was originally intended.

  5. Re:Blackboards Again!!!!! on We Finally Know Why Oil and Water Don't Mix · · Score: 1

    because your examples are so horridly flawed.. your saying that "you" don't have to prove it but that's the jobs of scientists. yet you seem to think the only way of proving the fusion reaction on the sun is to "scoop".. it up and check it.

    and the fact that you are saying "Einstein's 'self-made-up' fact that the speed of light was the maximum velocity that anything could travel which you should know was just DISproved by the folks at CERN" and trying to say people shouldn't preach theories as fact is just ironic. In that case nothing has been "disproved" they have witness something they don't understand and there is peer review going on now (more than just about any other claim this decade) and we will have results in time, clamming that they "disproved" something shows that you are trying to spew theory as fact.

    You are the type of person who questions anything they don't understand and grasps at threads to make things you think are wrong look quite not right. you are the type of person who tries to appear as if they understand a topic and then convince people who have no clue that you know what your saying and make them question the people who actually do understand what is going on.

    In my "theory" you are a troll, and i submit your own comments as evidence.

  8. Re:Blackboards Again!!!!! on We Finally Know Why Oil and Water Don't Mix · · Score: 1

    i think you rather have a problem with things that are beyond your understanding. just saying "However, it is possible that the sun may be some other as yet undiscovered atomic process on some as yet undiscovered non-existent-on-Earth element that we know nothing about" tells me that to you everything should be "theory" and nothing can ever be proved, unless you your self prove it.

    I agree people saying something is fact when it should be theory is wrong, but i didn't see fact anywhere.. and even if their equation is off - for now it gives us a better understanding and therefor helps ups "know" what is going on.

    also your "There could be nor more clear example of what I'm talking about than the whole speed-of-light 'fact' which is now NOT-fact." comment. does you more harm than good to be honest.. the speed of light is in fact a fact.. it can and has been measured and confirmed. I can only assume you are referring to a different finding from a few weeks ago.. which is going though one of the toughest reviews ever, in due scientific process.

    i never did understand why they got out of the ARM group.. their xscale cpu's where better than the competition by a long shot. Sure they where more expensive but it was worth it if you actually had to use the device. and if someone did manage to challenge them they have the scale/volume to drop prices and clean house.

  12. Re:And on Latest Humble Bundle Hits $1 Million · · Score: 1

    that really depends on how you are "sending" the money.. if your using your CC/Debit to send it paypal can't control the fee because they have to at min pass through what they will get charged when they pull money from your card.

    If you think their fees are odd you really should look at actual merchant accounts.. the fee structure there is insane and you can't make it simple or even show the end users the fees because you are bound not to.

    just remember any time you have a "cash back" card.. the CC company isn't giving you money from their share.. they still charge that merchant the same fee + the cash back amount + a fee for processing the cash back amount.

    that makes me wonder - take the iphone (or just about all modern smart phones) - when you first turn it on you have the slider that clearly says "slide to unlock".

    now - if the key is that the container is "unlocked" then it doesn't matter if the user has a pass password - or something as simple as a single swipe of the finger. the device it's self says it's "locked". you shouldn't have to encrypt the device to make the police get a warrant anymore than if you locked it in a bag with a 25cent plastic lock that anyone can twist off. locked means locked. if they want to open a locked container they need a warrant.
