  1. Looking at it again.... on Raisethefist.com Raided · · Score: 1

    .....I read it wrong. Oh well I'm sorry about my post I now say I have to agree with his statement.

  2. Yeah! Lets line him up against the wall! on Raisethefist.com Raided · · Score: 1
    I just hope they don't pull a Mitnick and give him his fair chance.

    It's my belief that everybody gets his fair chance because that's the whole point of the American justice system. His fair chance may get him 5 years in jail. Would you rather that the courts hand out executions depending on the mood of the judge that day or by a roll of a dice? How about by public poll?

  3. Yeah it just like DIVX is (was) a good idea! on Copy-Protected Digital VHS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People never learn.

  4. Damn Greenies! on Laws to Punish Insecure Software Vendors? · · Score: 1
    Be careful what powers you let corporations have when you let them run amok without government regulation.

    Yay! Now i don't have to be personaly responsible for anything!

    Just joking. I do think Naders a moron but thats because I've been Libertarian since '96

  6. Re:uh... a few seconds ruins a film? on Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you but those girls would get 20 years in jail.

  7. I think that's "Bob's Classy Lady" line.... on Uber-patch for Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    not that I know from personal experiance ;)

  8. It is per click on Christmas Spam Level Skyrocketing · · Score: 1

    everytime the link is clicked on the advertiser pays the fee shown below the link. Overature has stuff to make sure you don't spam the link but 10 bucks even once is a huge hit.

  9. Not my roommate. on Online e-Commerce Issues w/ PayPal? · · Score: 2, Funny
    How many people even bother to look at their monthly statements?

    I bounced a rent check to him about 4 months ago. I've been waiting till he notices to give him the money.

  10. Hey thats what I do! on Gibson Guitars and Ethernet · · Score: 1

  11. I called my dad on a 'vaporware' phone. on Unwinding Cisco's Not-So-Simple Beginnings · · Score: 1
    or alltogether vaproware (eg. IP phones)

    My dad's who work uses these things. Plug them into into any cisco router and there's you office extentions. Isn't that an IP phone or am I missing something?

  12. Re:But Microsoft abuses the users because they can on Constructing a Windows-Less Office · · Score: 1
    *web browsing: the only place Linux falls down is on terribly designed web pages and Flash. those sites are not worth viewing anyway. consider yourself rescued from bad web pages. :)

    Yeah except for the fact the half the fonts are about one pixal tall.

  13. what kind of missle was that? on Review: Behind Enemy Lines · · Score: 1

    Anyone know the type of missle the SAM was that shot the plane down?

  14. Re:1st Ranked on "web page cloaking" for money on Google Letting Users Rank Search Results · · Score: 1
    Which is some company trying to make money from doing this. See the next page in their pitch : http://webprominence.co.uk/promotion/costs.htm

    Now, if cloaking is easily defeated by a second bot, and the Googlebot has this, shouldn't they at least put _their_ own_ link in top slot just saying, "by the way, this kind of stuff is dishonest, misleading and doesn't work" [and thus possibly a fraud?]

    I took a look at these guys and their stuff probably won't help to much. Their deal is having the page the engines index if different then the page that shows up when someone go to the site. Google, among other people, does protect against this. The website in question would get blacklisted and removed from the search results.

    While a lot of work goes into making a site sow up ranked higher it shouldn't involve shady tricks like this. Here's a semi-good analogy. It's one thing to present yourself as best as you possibly can to someone to get them to go on a date with you. It's another thing entirely to lie and give false info.

  15. here it goes. on Google Letting Users Rank Search Results · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ok you make a page that has all sorts of info on a subject like 1966 Mustangs. The page has everything you ever wanted to know about the car. But you secretly put something in the page, like a server-side redirect, that takes the user and sends them to a page about Cameros. So you submit the page and the search engines give a high ranking because the page has a lot of good info on Mustangs. But people that go to the page get sent to a different page that talks about something else.

    Whats funny about this is that the search engines already know this. The Marketing Director at the company I work for told me that this hasn't worked in a couple of years. Some engines send a second agent out to see if the page the page at that link is the same as one that got indexed. I think this a case of whoever wrote the artice isn't up to date on search engine technology.

  16. Re:Big deal on Disney World Goes 802.11b · · Score: 1
    And this was a year and a half ago.

    I think the point of the story is that Disney is using tech you can go buy down at Circuit City.

  17. It's not used for security (if you're smart) on The Problem of Search Engines and "Sekrit" Data · · Score: 1

    I had a client who some reason got their 404 page the highest rank on google. So if typed their company name into the search engine the 404 page was number one so you could imagine the problems that caused. So I put their error pages in the robots.txr and everything worked out.

  18. There all in the bathroom still. on New Star Wars Episode II Trailer Out · · Score: 1

    if you know what I mean ;)

  19. Reminds me of a Phillip K. Dick story on SuperK Neutrino Detector Severely Damaged. · · Score: 1

    I think it was the one where the traveling gambling spaceships would land on a planet, take all the money from the planet, then leave. Someone had a mini-black hole and dropped it and it get falling through the planet and then when it go back to the other side it would come back and so and so forth.

  20. It was the teenager from The Simpsons on Review: Monsters, Inc. · · Score: 1
    The two janitors were highly annoying. They reminded me of characters from another movie/show that I cannot think of right now. They should have been dropped.

    They have the same voice as teenager who's usually working at a fastfood resturant.

  21. That's his nickname on Review: Monsters, Inc. · · Score: 1

    Goodman character's name is James Sullivan. James's friend, the one eyed green guy, calls him Sully which is short for Sullivan.

  22. Not to be a dick on Napster Clawing Back · · Score: 1
    At the risk of making a bad analogy...

    Napster (Jesus) hath paid (forgiven) us for all of our downloads (sins).

    Shall we now crucify it?

    Jesus paid for all our sins by being crucified. So if Napster made a deal that by disbanding they pay for our downloads then your analogy would work.

  23. My grandpa trained people to shoot AA guns. on A Physicist with the Air Force · · Score: 1

    He trained people to shoot the big ole guns that blasted planes out of the sky. Well they towed a dummy airplane behind a real one. Sometimes while praticing advanced manuvers the trainee would for getwhich plane he was shooting at and would give the pilot a heart attack.

  24. Re:Well, it's good, but could be better... on Human Clock (Complete with Hands!) · · Score: 1

    The guy wrote a few comments back that the reason for the MD5 is to keep people from just going through and looking at each picture. He wants you to wait for the actually minute to see the picture.

  25. yeah mod this down it's the truth on Confidentiality on Virus Sent Docs? · · Score: 1
    Send the company a letter saying something like "it will cost you $75,000.00 plus taxes for me to keep my mouth shut." If it's Microsoft, go for option 2

    People wonder why the Linux community tells everyone they should use a product that doesn't promote the extortion of other businesses unless of course the business being extorted is Microsoft.

    Linux doesn't need hipocrites so please go somewhere else.
