  1. Blackboard - doubleclick on Marketing On a .EDU Domain · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Many universities make use of Blackboard software for the online portion of their courses. Blackboard gives its users a doubleclick cookie when logging in.

  2. A game for Mac? on Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why make a game for a platform that only Steve Jobs and one other person will ever play on?

    "Everyone sees a cut in this plan, evidently." Except for the viewer that doesn't want to watch any advertisements.

  6. reminds me of my campus network on One Failed NIC Strands 20,000 At LAX · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a situation that happened on my campus network. Somebody in one of the campus dorm rooms plugged in a router backwards. The router took down much of the network because it was serving up DHCP addresses. The IT people were able to track down the offending segment and shut it off within two hours.

  7. Re:Reminds me of ... on Chairbot Walks You Around While You Sit · · Score: 1

  13. Alexa spyware on Alexa, Amazon's Most Flawed Idea · · Score: 1

    Why would anybody want to install their toolbar when they are known to be a spyware company?

  14. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on Download From Microsoft Without a WGA Check · · Score: 1

    The beta versions were final versions. They were released to the public via WU and also the automatic WU. The "final" version is anything but... it is just the latest current verson. Rest assured that there will be many more versions in the future.

    "The United States has been doing an overall good job of running things. I do not mind the US being in control and I do not see major advantages to handing over control." -andrewman327

  18. Re:lutefisk on Record Meteorite Hits Norway · · Score: 1

    Lye isn't that bad for you in small quantities. When in college, there was a neighbor across the hall that made homemade jumbo pretzels and dipped them in lye that was heavily dilluted in water before salting them. Me and my three roommates ate the pretzels with no side effects. One of the roommates, however, freaked out when he found out about the lye. This was after he had already eaten three or four of the pretzels. He called poison control and everything.

  22. Re:Been there, done that. on Software Tracks Blogosphere Mood Swings · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the drop down list will never have an entry for the whole range of emotions one could have.

    I doubt the drop down list will have entries such as:
    snarky

    bleh
    could be worse
    'aight
    whatever
