now why would microsoft do this when they are responsible for nearly all of the hotmail spam http://www.goatse.cx/
First post?
At the bottom of every outgoing MSN email message, Microsoft appends an advertisement without the sender's consent. Often, it touts MSN's anti-spam features.
Only Microsoft could sell itself as an anti-spam company by adding spam to every email from its subscribers.
the domain noyohespam.net is not registered, did you mean michael@yohe.net
I was so close to just using all my mod points to knock 5 points of karma off of some really stupid posters and hopefully make a dent in stupid moderators but I decided just because I think most of you are stupid doesn't mean that I have to mark everyone as flaimbait or overrated or troll.
GET FUCKING OVER IT. if the evil empire does something good, then let them do it. of course its in their best interests... either they do something like this to keep their customers happy or they lose market share. just nod and say its about time and figure out if anything new technology wise will come out of this to help us non-microsoft using people..
anyways sorry for the rant but you guys seriously piss me off sometimes
Notice that billy didn't seem to think that offers to increase the size of 'little willy' were NOT specifically rediculous!
Just when I thought things had returned back to normal, you come out with this veritable rollercoaster ride of comedic smack-down. Here I was, just cruising Slashdot for thought-provoking discussion when somehow I mined this nugget of laughing gas in solid-form. The spam part? Pure genius. Asking you to pay so you can RECEIVE MORE spam? Genius. How are you not already dead from laughing so hard? It would be like setting off a chuckle-bomb in your own face each day. I've gotta fax my buddy in the next cubicle with this provided he doesn't knock over our walls with thrashing laugh-spasms. I hope the boss doesn't think we're experiencing some sort of contagious laugh-plague and calls a code hilarious! Let me tell you good sir, we are all blasting reams of laughing gas from every orifice due to this comedic-toxin you have unleashed on all of us. You are quantifiable funnyman! Mods, mod this thread +5 Hilarorrist!
"corporations are granted lability exemptions by the government only because they supposedly provide benefit to the public"
They benefit the public because as a legal entity seperate from the individuals holding shares, they must pay taxes seperately, and in addition to those paid by the individuals. Except that Bush is trying to do away with that. Not sure why he thinks corporations should get liability protection in that case...
