  1. Combat SPAM? on ISPs That Actively Combat SPAM? · · Score: 1

    Are those ISPs vegetarians?

    SPAM is canned meat, while spam is aka UCE.

  2. Re:Slashdot Commits Unicide on The Reality of Online Reputation · · Score: 1

    Help, the USA is invading The Netherlands! They're transporting their vehicles trough the country on train cars, and they're heading for Rotterdam, just like the Germans did in 1940! Our government isn't even trying to stop them, it's like they've been bought off with promises of cheap oil or something!

    Read about it here!

    :-P

    Nah, it wasn't an entirely innocent question, it was more a bit sarcastic :-P

    If I had modpoints, I'd mod you down, lamez0r!

  8. Re:Geek Dating rule #1 on Some Geek Guides for Dating · · Score: 1

    I have a suspicion that that rule will work for Zapp Brannigan as well :-P

    Relax, he must be British, just like those guys from Castle Software ;-)

  10. Re:Not Quite... on The Future of Money · · Score: 1

    I had my checking account before I was 18. I didn't get cheques, but I got a debit card (with a PIN number and magnetic stripe and all). I couldn't have a negative balance, though (not that I needed one).

    In The Netherlands, debit cards are very common, and you can pay with them in almost every store, and ATMs are everywhere too, and always at post offices and banks.

  11. Re:Read the Headline on Mitsubishi Robot - Watchdog, Nurse, Annoying Friend · · Score: 1

    Because Mom's Old Fashioned Robot Oil is made with 10% more love than any other brand! :-P

    Worst comment ever! :-P

  16. No snail mail!? on The End of the Free PCI Device List (Update) · · Score: 1
    Quoth the site:
    Here was their very first communication... (they sent me this scanned image as a "confirmation" of a copy they claim to have sent two weeks earlier, but I received no snail-mail).

    You only received the scanned image per email, but never signed for the receipt of the letter? WTF!? You could have entirely disregarded the email as a joke, because anyone could have sent it. After all, you never ever got a certified letter from them!

    But apparently, you chose the publicity instead. Your site, your database, your choice, I suppose.

  17. Re:My company would love to do this... on The Cathedral In The Bazaar? · · Score: 1
    If your customers build and sell applications with your libraries then you man not lose many sales. A game engine would be an example. The real money is in closed source games, so a game publish could not use a GPLed engine in a commercially published game.

    Unless, that is, the game publisher and the authors of the game engine agree to a proprietary licence, so the game publisher pays for the permission to distribute the otherwise GPLed game engine in a closed source game.

  18. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA on Moore's Law Disputed · · Score: 3, Funny

    That doesn't sound so bad.

  19. Re:Involuntary BLOOD SAMPLE on Going Through the Garbage · · Score: 2

    If someone gets a bloody tampon or band-aid from someone's trash, how can they be sure it's actually the tampon or band-aid from the person who put out the trash, and not from a guest who threw it in the trash while staying there?

    Yes, but unfortunately, it's a Goatse link.

  22. Re:Lifetime of PC components (reduce, reuse, recyc on HP Wants Manufacturers To Bear PC Disposal Costs · · Score: 1

    Yeah. When my TNT2 video card's fan began making a really annoying noise, I replaced it, instead of upgrading the video card. It was much cheaper, and I didn't need more 3D power anyway.

  23. Re:Do the Eds *read* Slashdot? A Thanksgiving rant on Hark! I Hear a Dropped Packet! · · Score: 1

    It's too much like Slashdot. For starters, it IS slashdotted...
