  1. Re:8.7 million? on AOL Users Will Need to Pay $2 a Month For Phone Support · · Score: 1

    Or old guys who have free cable and live too far away from any hubs for DSL, like a guy I know. Still, who is surprised? I'm still wondering why the fuck Time Warner merged with them. We all thought AOL was gonna be over soon, and they had to ruin it.

    You are very wrong on one important point. Vacuum is abundant in the earth's air, the issue is extracting it!

    Or just strafe such that your crosshair passes over an enemy for a moment. You will turn so your aim stays on them for a moment, and you will not end up walking in a straight line, but a wide V.

    (I say crosshair. A reticule is "Noun    1.    reticule - a woman's drawstring handbag; usually made of net or beading or brocade; used in 18th and 19th centuries". Reticule = Microsoft trying to destroy good terminology. Its a conspiracy!)

    GG actually stands for "Gay Guy?". Often used in video games by boys searching for older male lovers.

    Communists and Communist countries have disagreed for the history of Communism what Communism means, and whether others are Communist. I think "proclaiming self-Communism" is an important part of defining such an entity. Otherwise you just end up getting into bitch fights about who is more Marxist.

    Reminds me of recently, when I got an unsolicited text message along the lines of "Ok but you'll owe me" and figured out it was a wrong number. I carried a conversation with them, then they wanted me to call them, and I said "I don't have your number", thinking they would laugh, but the next message looked like
    "From: 555-5555
    555-5555"

  22. Re:Misuse of http on Bone-Headed IT Mistakes · · Score: 1

    I'm betting they used a GET form to login, so the url-encoded form data got crawled, which logged in Alexa.

  23. Re:Misuse of http on Bone-Headed IT Mistakes · · Score: 0

    Alexa apparently logged in to the admin page, so they might have even had get-based logins. No webcrawler I know of would do something insane like submitting forms, but if it is straight up malicious it is a whole different issue.

  24. Re:T minus 2 weeks? on XP Deathwatch, T Minus 2 Weeks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because (in our perception at least) time travels forward. T plus 2 weeks would be saying, "It is now time T plus 2 weeks", or 2 weeks past the time in question, rather than 2 weeks until.

  25. Misuse of http on Bone-Headed IT Mistakes · · Score: 0

    No. 4, where Alexa follows links to delete content, is due to bad use of http (as well as horrid behavior on Alexa's part). I've read about similar cases. GET requests (links, forms unless specified otherwise) are not meant for modifying data, they are meant for GETting it, POST requests are intended for everything else. Make buttons that submit forms with type="hidden" form elements, and use POST method, and you will have no problems with bad crawlers.
