SPAM is a primary reason to block comments, after allowing comments on the site I had to delete many spam comments daily from the approval queue, that forced me to enable captcha for comments to prevent or decrease comments from spam bots.
Now everyone can comment on my blog, I will review the comments before publishing them though to keep it clean here.
There may only be a few hundred thousand users running desktop Linux worldwide, compared with tens of millions of Mac users and hundreds of millions of Windows users, but almost all of us are using Linux on a daily basis.

As a hacker with the pseudonym Myria reports in a blog entry, once Skype is launched it saves an executable file called 1.com in the user's temporary folder. This file contains code that transmits the data found in the BIOS address area of the application to be launched. It is not yet clear what the Skype software does with the data, which may contain, among other things, the motherboard serial number. The mysterious .com file was only noticed because of an error message that Skype outputs when it is launched on systems running on 64-bit versions of Windows. 64-bit versions lack the "NT Virtual DOS Machine" (NTVDM), which allows direct access to BIOS memory pages and is required to execute the program. Since myria's blog entry is dated February the 6th 2007 presumably Skype added the BIOS reading code to their applications relatively recently.
