I think the idea is that there are too many phrases in common between them, so the first one is probably an auto-recycled version of the second.

Both comments *could* be by the same person, but it seems pretty unlikely...

Sorry for assuming you didn't know -- I myself had forgotten about that article and, after rediscovering it, thought it would be helpful.

Have a nice day!

Right, but even that article acknowledged that the potential for abuse is definitely there:
"Civil libertarians warn that anyone who clicks on a hyperlink advertising something illegal--perhaps found while Web browsing or received through e-mail--could face the same fate."

Unlike canajin56, I don't claim that "FBI rolling" has actually happened -- just that it's very possible. No need to be an asshole about it.

As long as we're talking about things that could never even come close to happening to anyone on this site, why bother with the invisibility cloak? You could just as easily jump out the bedroom window, land on your pegasus, which is floating just outside said window, and fly off to your Fortress of Solitude, which is totally not your parents' basement.

FBI linkbait was actually covered on Slashdot itself last year.

I'm sorry, are you suggesting there is a 1024-way SMP architecture available, and a 256-way SPARC system is not NUMA?

You're confused, man.

The borked link should have pointed to:

Presumably he means quick factorization of composites (the product of two primes).

While I agree with you that making up words is annoying, badware is different from malware: http://stopbadware.org/home/badware

It's a broader term that includes adware as well as directly malicious software. I don't think malware has the same scope.
