  1. Re:What's the distinguishing characteristic? on Judge In e360 Vs. Comcast Rules e360 a Spammer · · Score: 3, Informative

    Contact the advertisers and tell them to take you off their list. Unlike spammers, junk mailers generally honor opt-out requests (they don't want to pay for paper and postage if you tell them there's no chance you'll buy something from them).

  2. in case you didn't know... on Microsoft Discloses 14,000 Pages of Coding Secrets · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's a cook book!!!

    ...apologies to Rod Serling.

  3. Cliff effect on Scammers Exploit DTV Coupon Program · · Score: 1

    Because of the cliff effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_effect the signal is either good or completely unwatchable.

  4. Re:Must be our evil mirror solar system counterpar on Solar System Look-Alike Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    This solar system looks like ours, but it's only half our size.

    My theory is that we're both evil (like Doctor Evil and Mini-Me).

    Is it better than human muscle? No, just different
    Tell that to the cyborgs who will kick sand in your face at the beach in 10 years.

    we don't need a bigger boat after all.

  12. Re:NO COPYRIGHT. NO LICENSE. on Pirate Bay Launches Uncensored Image Hosting · · Score: 1

    I'd guess that Pirate Bay or the person who put it there won't come after you if you do that.
    On the other hand, if the original image had a copyright, then the copyright holder could come after you.

  13. Re:give hima real punishment... on Spammer Robert Soloway Arrested · · Score: 1

    all he has to do is hit the delete key (a few billion times).

  14. Re:Who's trading e-mail addresses? Everyone! on Who's Trading Your E-mail Addresses? · · Score: 1

    you should always judge a song by its title.

  17. Desktop on Thumb Drive? on Microsoft & SanDisk To Provide Desktop on Thumb Drive · · Score: 1

    If I'm used a thumb drive for my desk top, where would I put my coffee cup?

  18. I'd pay to see... on New "Terminator" Trilogy Planned · · Score: 1

    that forgetting the truth will set us free.

  20. job change instead of career change? on Where to Go After a Lifetime in IT? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the reason that IT does not seem fun anymore is that "the largest financial company in the world" isn't a place to have fun.

  21. The solution: on Soldiers Bond With Bots, Take Them Fishing · · Score: 1

    Make the robots more like Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twiki, so the soldiers won't mind watching them get blown up.

    Allow people to freeze their credit reports. You can do this now AFTER you find out that you are a victim, but that's way too late. Why not give people the abilty to decide whether they want to get a little more security by giving up quick credit?
