  1. Re:Yeah, but they gimped it so bad it's worthless on World of Warcraft Goes Free With Starter Edition · · Score: 1

    People, as in the human variety, will also not be bothered with the above - trust you me, this is simply too much work to get to play something.

    Giving the you name, address and phone kinda ruins the notion of "free", given how these are rather juicy details about you.

    oh, and caller-id can be spoofed, protected and prolly a number of other things that would fail this setup :(

    I do understand what your trying to do, and applaud it, but generally speaking, any scheme too "convoluted" for spammers to try and automate, is out-of-scope for typically-lazy human beings.

  2. Re:I can confirm this on Facebook Blocks KDE Photo App, Deletes Users' Pics · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that wasn't due to the use of KDE-based software - it was a Public Safety issue.

  3. Re:Facebook? Has he sold out or what? on Geohot Joins Facebook As Product Developer · · Score: 1

    #4:
    Its part of Sony's settlement with GeoHot - Go work for Facebook, so we can sue them ... somehow ...

  4. Italians building it? on Europe Set To Build Experimental Transport Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    They're teaming up with Italians to build this? If they are anything like the Italians that (supposedly) build trains (Ansaldo), it will be delayed by a decade, fall apart during delivery and be 400% over budget.

    Enjoy the upcoming fun, ESA.

  5. Re:Sad, but I can see doing it too on Man Robs Bank of $1 To Get Health Care In Jail · · Score: 1

    You are either myopic or a cold-hearted, selfish bastard who'd sooner step on everyone else's back if it meant a bigger slice of the pie for you.

    I think the term you're looking for is "Human".

  6. Re:Facebook is fueled by narcissism. on More Users Are Shunning Facebook · · Score: 1

    I also got a custom wax stamp so i send them out with wax seals like they used to 100 years ago.

    Am thinking automated sorting-machines at the post-offices must love your letters :)

  7. Re:Lawyers on Court Case To Test GNU GPL · · Score: 1

    Easy now - remember, it is just 95% of Lawyers, that gives the rest of them a bad reputation.

  8. Re:Similar projects and people on How One Man Helps Keep Game Controllers Accessible · · Score: 1

    Yup - Ben Heck could be a "replacement", in the sense that he has the skills and interests to possibly be talked into taking up the mantle.

  9. Re:bullshit. on Mexican Cartels Build Mad Max Narco Tanks · · Score: 2

    Are they really using these against the US border? More plausibly, they are using them against other drug-cartels...

  10. Re:This is an extremely important accomplishment. on IBM Builds First Graphene Integrated Circuit · · Score: 1

    So we start with a CPU that processes native Java bytecode, then build a kernel, then userspace, then ...

    and we shall call it Javux ...

  11. Re:For a school superintendant on School Super Asks Governor To Make His School District a Prison · · Score: 1

    You should see the stuff we got from our school when we enrolled our daughter. It was terribly poor quality.
    Admittedly, Belgium is a French-speaking country, but this was the European school, and they seemingly weren't able to do basic English.

  12. Re:No LES? on World's Largest Amateur Rocket Prepares For Second Attempt · · Score: 1

    Get in line - the people behind it apparently want to take the first trips (standing up if I'm not mistaken).

  13. Re:Same architecture, better process? on Sony Won't Invest As Heavily In PlayStation 4 · · Score: 2

    If I am not mistaken, there is a Cell chip available, that is basically 4 Cells (i.e. 4 OoO cores, 32 SPUs) available - Throw that in the PS4, and they should be set.
    (But please add some graphics hardware as well)

  14. Re:Dear Mr. Zuckerberg, on Zuckerberg Only Eating Animals He Personally Kills · · Score: 1

    Bolt-gun, from forehead through to the root - quick, painless, efficient
    (but somehow doesn't always kill very old pigs)

    Optionally execute in a high-CO2 environment to induce a sedated state in the animal.

  15. Re:Finally! A way to distract the zombies! on Researchers Grow a Brain In a Dish · · Score: 2

    Zombies won't eat genetically modified brain when they can choose bio-friendly products.

    So Americans would be safe then.

    (*auch*)

  16. Re:where i get 'em on HDMI Brands Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    Neet Cables in the UK

    Got a nice range of equipment, and their 15m HDMI cables are the only ones over 7m I've seen to work flawlessly.

  17. Re:We are not alone on Baby's First TSA Patdown · · Score: 1

    Does France have such patdowns in their airports? What about Canada? What about Germany? Belgium?

    In Belgium, Brussels Airport, they pulled my pants down in public .... Think I'll prefer the US-style handjob, thank you.

  18. Re:There is no winner on In Indonesia, a Winner For Now In the Browser Wars · · Score: 1

    Our definition of Victory is that Flash still exists? Oh, man, we're futbucked.

  19. Re:Why are these things using WiFi? on Making Wireless, Not Ethernet, the Heart of the Network · · Score: 1

    Same reason people now buy TVs with WiFi

  20. Re:Already done on What Developers Want From the Wii's Successor · · Score: 1

    Not just that, but doesn't even have an Ethernet port! (how GP missed this these two facts, I don't understand).

    What I want in Wii2: Ethernet port, as I tend to not move gamingconsoles around a lot.

  21. Re:Porn? on 'Motherlode' of Data Seized At Bin Laden Compound · · Score: 1

    If anyone came out and said they found porn on Osama Bin Laden's computers, you'll have riots for lying about Osama Bin Laden.

  22. Re:Linux editing? on Kdenlive 0.8 Adds Advanced Features for NLV Editing · · Score: 1

    I am scared and intrigued at the same time...

  23. Re:We're sorry on Nokia Outsources Symbian OS Work · · Score: 1

    But... what is the real benefit for Nokia?

    4 Billion Finmark

  24. Re:He got notified? on Sony Sued For PlayStation Network Data Breach · · Score: 1

    I got notified a couple of hours ago - in an email with a link to sign into PSN to change my details. Oddly enough, the link didn't work.....

  25. Re:passwords? on 77 Million Accounts Stolen From Playstation Network · · Score: 1

    If you wanted to play any of the games online, you had to have a PSN account. Which meant you had to provide a credit card whether you were ever going to buy anything or not.
