Your Iran comment shows how clueless you are and I feel bad even responding to it, but here goes anyway.

Give me a link showing UN sanctions imposed in 1988 on Iraq with respect to the Kurd gassing.

Even if you could find it, it's beside my original point because the Prevention of Genocide Act of 1988 that would have been the US equivalent but didn't make it through the House intact and was snuffed out. The Reagan Administration went out of its way to not punish Iraq, our ally, for the gassing of the Kurds. Those gassings has been going on for a while but Halabja just happened to be photographed by a journalist and shown to the world.

Actually, I think Tom Lehrer is a bigger threat to pigeon network security.

Does that mean that I would be forced to stop my favorite hooby ?

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

there is one, and it's headquartered in VA.

Most ISPs now block port 25 so open relay spamming is on the decline. It is also part of the reason AOL implemented their blocking of non-registered or recognized mail servers. ISPs that do not often times do not are considered "Spammer Friendly" and placed on just about every BL out there for their IP block. (This also has the added advantage of curtailing SMTP engine toting virii) As also pointed out Email test probes will be added to the Spammer's aresenal of Poopsmith tools to verify they are able to send their shit out. This could however have a slight benefit of flawing their business model as it requires more time be invested for active true open relay verification and their email be routed through a mail server which might have spam filter running which may help to flag suspicious accounts sending the same or similar Spam to their box frequently.

What this also could be useful for is legitimate mail servers helping to track down Spammers as it runs the blackhole open relay to everything not in an approved IP scope or authenticating. Possibly allowing the single test email being routed back to the domain of the IP attempting to send and if a flurry of Spam comes reporting the IP to the abuse department of that domain along with the total attempt of Spam sent to the bit bucket. This could catch Spammers who get their email from their own servers and email from their ISP's mail servers or Spammer friendly servers to be BL and/or shutdown. Would be an interesting project as Spammers have to look for more ways to send their shit out and not use their ISPs mail servers and be shutdown. Lots of different ways to play with this program and the application of it to attack the business model of the Spammer and lure them into stupid mistakes that may lead to their imprisonment like they deserve so they can meet Bubba.

They lost a lot of choppers in vieatnam... Quite a lot...

Great history of Space Invaders.

It's basically a browser that also acts as a wysiwyg editor. You can also see/edit the source of the page. It has a pretty decent parser for cleaning up the code, and it does a decent job of checking the syntax on simple HTML. All this, and it's free as in beer (though not as in speech).

Here's why not:

It's out of date abandon-ware. I don't know if it's legally obtainable, but many people (like this guy) still have copies of it sitting around on their websites for you to freely download.

Whatever you do, please don't judge it by my website. I have little to no talent when it comes to web design... but that will never stop me from trying.

Why don't you e-mail him and tell him?

evan is so damn sexy, hi evan!!!

evank40767 kindly linked to an old picture stored on his own AOL account.

evank40767, don't the guys at AOL suggest having something like index.html rather than granting access to the whole directory?

Ooops. The second to last sentence should read: "The centripital force of cornering left the fuel level sensor high and dry." There's still too much tryptophan in my system from turkey during my American Thanksgiving day feast. I think it's time to break out the Mountain Dew before I do any more proofreading of my own writing.

Mauretania has abolished slavery three times already.

Clearly, nothing can stop your endless complainaing!

Since noticing the article on Snopes about Mister Ed actually being a zebra, I found it hard to believe their explanation behind it was valid.

A simple google search reveals that the horse was a zebra only sometimes.

Radio stations continued to broadcast until their backups ran out and we were left with dead air

Just some thoughts about 1998's power outage during winter. Apparently, the air conditioning was not working in the most recent major power failure, which caused people to sweat more than what they were accustomed to.

Radio in Montreal, until the ice storm, has been fairly stable

"This situation continued until 1200 when CJFM management decided that they had to "protect their audience" and returned to their regular music programming. As a concession to the storm and the fate of their AM counterpart CJFM did carry the expanded CJAD news broadcasts but apart from that a listener to CJFM would not have known that Montreal was enduring the worst storm in living memory."

Yes, that was the reply.

Because of the 'never give up' attitude, it was quite possible that the Japanese would have continued fighting, and allowed millions more Japanese and Americans (and Chinese/Koreans) die.

It's easy now to look back and say "gee, did we really need to go that far?" At the time, most of the world had been at war for 4 or 5 years. Millions upon millions of lives had been lost.

When the Japanese initiated the war in the Pacific, and attacked without warning, they set themselves up for whatever came to them.

When they mistreated and killed POWs in Bataan, they set themselves up for whatever came to them. http://members.aol.com/bcmfofnm/atrocities.html

The Japanese brought themselves into WWII. They fought any way they could, they used Kamikazes against our ships, they refused to surrender.

In 1945, the political climate was different. We were at WAR- not sitting around on our butts discussing things. Lives were ruined everywhere- those who had died, and those who had lost others. Once again- the Japanese had started that war, and they made every effort to keep it going. We wanted to end it- and we did.

Can this process be applied to this fish?

THIS is a Satellite.

I think the Funky (Funky Fantom / Phunky Phantom) Phantom also used that as a tag line. (I beleive that he and snag were both done by Daws Butler... (clickety clickety) Yep.

...is the wrong question.

Is the surface of a planet really the right place for expanding technological civilization?

...is the right question.

How would you classify this?

How do we know these guys aren't just making this all up???

I seriously suggest you take a course on the philosophy of science. Not ethics of science, that's interesting but not the same. I took it out of interest and it ended up being the most important course I took. The philosophy of science teaches you how we can know if we know what we know, how we can know it and why we can know it works better than junk like Astrology. Having to disprove astrology is harder than it sounds.

If you don't think you need a course guided by a professor (guidance is advised), check out these references. In the end you'll find that we cannot say for certain that we know anything but that we exist (existentialism, see a lexicon.

I mentioned this for the last story about Nigerian scam spammers, but amazingly my friend's adventures with a Nigerian scam artist are more ontopic than last time. It's a bit long, but a gut-busting read if you take the time.

Throughout his correspondence with the 419er he pretended to be an interested business partner with "tourettes syndrom", and the scam artist seemed to fall for it hook line and sinker. How a supposedly savvy criminal could've been hooked by prose like :

Is there nothing to understand? My tone has turned from blue to joyful yellow with the arrivalling of your offer of most generous. I am tickled pink, and my nether regions throb with joy at the prospects of meeting your family, especially your lovely mother, Catarina, and your nubile son. I think your father's name is with only one "n", however. I have many, many bank account, and also, my chest remains hairy, with sweat.

...is absolutely beyond me! But he had him going for a good long time!
