Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail
Talaria writes "The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy is reporting that two new laws in Utah and Michigan are going into effect next week, creating 'do not email' registries for children's email addresses. According to ISIPP, 'Email marketers who send unpermitted messages to email addresses or domains on the child protection registries in Michigan and Utah face stiff penalties including prison and fines.'" (Note that ISIPP has a vested interest in publicizing these laws, since they offer a service intended to establish that senders are in fact within the law.)

Life is like a bag of chips you never know whats next

Who said its an American flag? It is actually the native flag of Pete-opia, a sovereign nation land locked within the United States.
The name of the image, topicus, is often misread as Topic U.S, When in fact, it is the Latin word for Utopian, which is of course a root of Pete-opia.
Next time you should be more respectful to the Latin language. Many people died so that students would learn it in school for centuries to come.

You seem to have missed my point.... China has nukes. Iraq never had 'em, and most of the world thought Dubya was full of shit when he kept hopping up and down and saying Saddam had 'em. China, however, is known to have nukes.
Not as many as Dubya, but enough to make a serious dent in the US's ability to make war....

Not quite as worried as I am about Dubya's itchy trigger finger, but worried enough....

Are you certain? Some people may have died for a flag. Not to say they weren't (IMO) misguided.
Information wants to be free.
Entertainment wants to be paid.
You just want to be cheap.
Why are there only 12 stripes in it? The flag has 13. Slashdot needs to fix this.
That's because Slashdot doesn't recognize New Jersey.
Conspiratorialist trolls have already pointed out that the missing top stripe represents the "First State," Delaware. Its absence represents the anti-corporatist feelings of Slashdot, and Delaware tends to be a tax haven for big businesses to incorporate in.
Ideally someone who 'dies for their country' does so because their country stands for ideals they believe in. It's also likely they're fighting to defend their huge-really-extended-family which is their country since of course everyone was raised by their country.
Of course most people don't have that kind of united feeling (including myself), so I would never die for a country, at most just certain people in the country and/or what are supposed to be the ideals.
Tell me something, is it NORMAL for /.'ers to attack the fundamental beliefs and culture of over 10 million people?
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka MORMON, I take extreme offense at these false allegations and insults that are being SPEWED out here.
Perhaps you should make sure that you know what you are talking about before you start bashing someone?
Just an FYI, the LDS Church does not practice polygamy, only an offshoot organization, that is now based in Texas, does that.
Talking to Geeks is like eating jello with a chainsaw, interesting, but painful.
No one has died for a flag, you moron.
Some people did. I am sure there are many more in history, but I have not been able to google up any sites listing heroes that were killed fighting over a flag. I noted that www.peoplewhodiedfortheflag.com is still free.
From reading the flag code, you're not supposed to reproduce the flag on anything but, well, the flag. For example, on armed forces uniforms, it's backwards. On /., it has different stripes. Same difference -- it's actually following the code of respectfulness for the flag.
Granted, I don't know if this was their intention or not, but I wouldn't carp about it.

Who gives a shit?
Seriously... jesus christ.
We have secretly replaced these Slashdot mods' sense of humor with a rusty nail. Let's see if they notice!!
Wish I had mod points. I'd have modded you Insightful.
