  1. Re:FROSTY PISTOLIERS! on Jail for Selling Email Lists to Spammers · · Score: 1

    That must explain the empty prisons

  2. Re:FROSTY PISTOLIERS! on Jail for Selling Email Lists to Spammers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's one interpretation. My point is that a law, the community and every other influence does not stop someone who is intent on breaking a law for personal profit - as I believe spammers are. That holds for bank robbers and murders where there is financial gain. In a round way, I'm saying the technology must change... Though I recognize it will only begin the next phase for spam.

    This is of no value. If it was, we wouldn't have Bank robberies (there are laws against it too). As long as there's money in it, and the technology supports it, it'll sadly continue.

  4. Patent, Patent, Patent on Upside Down Phone Patent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well it's true, there are a lot of things that seem to be common sense that aren't yet patented. For example, my upcoming patent for a simple gesture to signify the consummation of a business deal. I like to call it the handshake.

    It seems to me, the real problem is this; http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/0 2/03/2147222/ discussed here just last week.

  11. Re:This comment parked on The Death of Domain Parking? · · Score: 1

    This doesn't seem as much the 'Death of Domain Parking' as much as the 'Death of Domain Parking as we know it'. It's unfortunate that we continually find ways to feed 'services' providing no value, and wind up with 1,890,000 hits on Domain Parking.

    Still, the extension cord is problematic

  13. Re:infected women tend to be more .. promiscuous on Parasites Makes Us Dumber or Sexier · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The part that I thought was really surprising was "More attractive" and "more promiscuous"... Anybody else see a connection here?

  14. Re:merger. on AT&T Offering Merger Concessions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We're all taking part in this merger. In the short time since divestiture, the Bells, MCI, Sprint and the like, have gone from an incredibly profitable business model, to one far less stable. The irony of divestiture is that local phone service still has almost no competition, but the threat to the Bells comes from new communications that were not very formidable back then. Cable, which now shares the 'mother' moniker in most places in the US, stands to be affected most by a strong Bell presence. Hopefully, the competition will bring the benefits divestiture was supposed to deliver.

  17. AMD's path on Xeons, Opterons Compared in Power Efficiency · · Score: 4, Insightful

    AMD needs to do what they have been doing - thinking independently and coming up with original solutions.

  21. Re:Ohh pullleeezz on When Blog Networks Make News, Silence Abounds · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You're speaking as though The NY Times is some sort of moral beacon. If we ignore for the moment the number of mainstream journalists who were found to have... ummm... improvised the facts, the NYT is still one of the most jaundiced media outlets. The would be just slightly more believable if they changed the upper left front to read "All the news that fits, we print".

    Academically, sure. But since this provides a how-to be unethical, what exactly does academia have to do with it? Is it a unalienable right to provide education to be unethical?
