Comment A once in a lifetime for some (Score 4, Interesting) 52

There will be an interesting celestial event called a selenelion for NZ'ers. This is where the blood moon can be seen at the same time as the rising sun due to some sort of atmospheric refraction. Best viewed in the lower south island but still some might see it further north given a good view of the opposing horizons.

The BBC is THE best broadcasting agency in the world. It has provided an outlet for so many different arts, science and cultural programs that would never have been made with out the public funding it receives and not tied to being a slave to advertising agencies and the wares they are trying to flog.

Comment More information on the SPAMMERs (Score 0) 47

I have had numerous of these SPAM messages, being an IT technician for a lot of small businesses, who do, unfortunately still rely on their ISP email addresses. (I have tried and tried to get them off these). All the messages I have received so far have been redirecting to the following sequential domains: http://workathomefree1.com/ through to http://workathomefree19.com/ With the following whois information: (unsurprisingly based in India) Domain Name: WORKATHOMEFREE1.COM Registrar: TRUNKOZ TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD. D/B/A OWNREGISTRAR.COM Referral URL: http://www.ownregistrar.com/ Name Server: NS1.FASTNSHERE.COM Name Server: NS2.FASTNSHERE.COM With the assumed false contact information Mahdi Aparicio Mahdi Aparicio (@workathomefree12.com) Rua Manuel Antunes 1149 Londrina PR,86057-120 BR Tel. +55.4348843928 I have emailed the registrar to shutdown the domains on Saturday 9.30am (NZ Time GMT +13) but not holding out much hope of them acting on it.

Comment 7 yr old mouse (Score 1) 341

Though probably not the oldest piece of equipment owned by a /.'er, I have faithfully been using my logitech mx518 as my primary mouse (work and home) for the past 7 years, and it is still going strong. I see no reason to 'upgrade' a component when it is still a comfortable and functioning device. Or maybe it is just that I cannot afford new stuff?
