Apparently you have enough time to speak in the third person about yourself. If you're going to astroturf your website at least make sure your machine and bandwidth can handle the load, idiot.

To those that couldn't load it: all you missed was a very slow loading gallery with 50 pictures and Quicktime movies of someone taking apart a hard disk and attaching shit to it.

enforcer999 writes "As you know, the CAN SPAM ACT preempted many state laws that were tougher on spammers. For instance, many of the laws that were enacted by states included a requirement that sexually explicit SPAM be labeled as such. The FTC, in charge of adopting rules, came up with a new rule that will require sexually explicit SPAM to be labeled as such. Hmm? I think the states were already trying to do this before the Federal government preempted them. Anyway, I wonder if it will work?"

I highlighted in bold a point I am not sure I understood, is it willingly redundant or did the submitter write it twice because it went from the states laws to the ftc requirement ?

Cybercafes bveing blacklisted by anti-spam sites. by cjellibebi · 2004-04-05 04:02 · Score: 1 · on How To Catch A Scammer/Spammer

Our cafe was *BLACKLISTED* by spamcop.

Does anyone else find having entire Cybercafes blacklisted by anti-spam filters a bit worrying?

I do a lot of travelling, and about a year ago, I noticed that in a lot of Cybercafes, when I tried to e-mail a particlar person, I got an automated response from their mail-server to say it had rejected the e-mail because it was spam. I usually use my Freeserve account (via a web-mail interface). I wondered how my e-mail address could have become blacklisted, and tried my Hotmail account which I hardly use (I only got one could use MSN messanger). The Hotmail e-mail got through (I got no automated rejection, and even a reply). This at first led me to the conclusion that my Freeserve e-mail address had been blacklisted. Later, I found that sometimes, e-mails from my Freeserve account would get through, and at other-times, they would be rejected.

Eventually, I figured out that it was the IP address of the place I was sending it from that triggered the spam-filter. This has lead me to two conclusions.

E-mails sent from Hotmail accounts are immune to spam-filters, but not from Freeserve accounts.
Just about half of the Cybercafes or Internet-Kiosks I have been to have been abused by spammers.

Do all spam-rejecting filters give out an automated rejection-reply? If not, then I won't know that my e-mail has been rejected by an anti-spam filter, and I won't try to mail it again from my Hotmail account or another place with Internet access.

Not an endorsement, an "I don't care if you do it" by schmaltz · 2004-02-11 06:52 · Score: 3, Informative · on Linux and DRM?

From the dictionary--

en*dorse - To give approval of or support to, especially by public statement; sanction: endorse a political candidate. See synonyms at approve.

This did not happen. The quote from the article which you've fictionalized into an "endorsement" goes something like this--

"I also don't necessarily like DRM myself," Torvalds wrote on the "Linux-kernel" mailing list. "But...I'm an 'Oppenheimer,' and I refuse to play politics with Linux, and I think you can use Linux for whatever you want to--which very much includes things I don't necessarily personally approve of."

Please, xgyro, tell us how you extrapolated "use Linux for whatever you want to...[including] things I don't necessarily personally approve of" into "endorsed"?

Buying up Google and running it as a separate company might be a good idea for them, but it would probably be merged into MSN division sooner or later, to avoid the overlap in sales, accounting, marketing, engineering, etc.
