  1. Re:Dumb Pagerank spam. on Google Launches Trends · · Score: 0

    Googlebot crawls Slashdot without logging in. Therefore it doesn't see sigs.

    I remember the guy here who used to spam religiousfreaks.com links within his message - not in the sig - so that it would get higher Google pagerank. A search for 'religious freaks' shows the results.

  2. Re:Telemere ? on Stem Cells Generated From Adult Cells · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. The parent poster's point was valid - that cells all have a telomere, which effectively limits the number of times it can divide. This is because each time the cell divides, the telomere is split between the two daughter cells. A cell with too short a telomere cannot divide.

    GP's point was that if we used adult cells to produce stem cells, the telomere would remain the same length as in the adult cell - the cell's 'age' would not have changed. Therefore the (theoretical) organ being grown with the regressed adult cells would not be 'new' - it would be the same age as the adult cells, except that the rapid growth of the organ would mean that aging actually happened *faster* to the stem cells. That is, unless stem cells have a way of preventing such cell aging...

  3. Re:And this is indeed a serious problem with EBay. on How to Win on Ebay: Snipe · · Score: 0

    That basically is sniping, minus the bidding close to time limit.

    To prevent moderations they have done on the thread from being reversed when they post a reply.

  6. Re:Linux? on Best of the Free Anti-virus Choices? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Haha first post actually answering the question and it is modded offtopic. Good job mods.

  7. Re:Evolution isn't just adapting to environment on Is Evolution Predictable? · · Score: 0

    Exactly. The phrase "Natural Selection" is misleading. They should rename it "Natural Elimination".

    Wow - 700 leachers...

  11. Re:Same as a snail mail letter on Why Emails Are Misunderstood · · Score: 0

    I guess you could say that email's ease-of-use is simultaneously its greatest asset and its biggest weakness.

  12. Re:didnt they have a completely goal? on FreeBSD Vows to Compete with Desktop Linux · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately, there is no "-1, Fish" option for moderators.

  13. Re:My entry, comments appreciated. on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest Update · · Score: 0

    The font/font size is much better than the other entries I have seen. You seem to be the only one so far thinking of readability as well as looks.

    DHT. Allows you to get a list of peers when the tracker is down, I believe.

    No, sorry, Uncyclopedia's full of articles that try to be funny or satirical or something but fail miserably. This is different... maybe Trollpedia...

  18. Re:Some revenge possible? on Phishers Get Phoney · · Score: 0

    Maybe people could be given Phishing numbers by the bank - they give these out to phishers and the bank pulls them up when they try to use them.

    Last time I was in the theatre the guy behind me kept moaning and the floor was all sticky. I'm not even sure what they put in my popcorn.

    What is this again, the cinema or porn?

  22. So? on Privacy Threat in New RFID Travel Cards? · · Score: 0

    If the range is smaller, all the identity thieves have to do is get closer to you. Brush past you, and they have identified you. Isn't easy identification the idea behind it?

  23. Re:Maybe it is just me waking up on Sony DRM and the New Digital Hole · · Score: 0

    I got a good phrase from IT Week one week (erm) about such sentences:



    Does anybody know what this is supposed to mean? The words are all in my dictionary but this statement strings them together in such a way as to eliminate any real meaning.

    I'm not so sure about this study - I am bilingual and play computer games, yet I have serious trouble remembering what my mother told me ten seconds ago. I don't think I'd do so well at the harder mental tasks...
