I'm sure an international trade agreement can be hammered out to share the fines according to the amount of Spam a country _sends_. And its 'sent' right from the country where the Spam artists live. The prosecution can occur anywhere Spam is received but it's collected where its 'sent' from.
And you know how you catch the Spam? Have honey-pot mail boxes.
This will spark a round of poor-man's me-too-ism that should haunt M$ for a while. (I wonder how he's goind to justify.WMV files as part of the OS. Clippy on steroids!:-)
Now if only auto-detection worked with Linux boxes. Then I'd be happy.
Moore goes on about democracy. The USA is a repulic. It is not a democracy. The only votes that counted last election were those of the supreme court.
What makes you think this election's going to be any different?
Some extreme emergency will arise and we'll finally put an end to all this foolish talk. And don't criticise, there's worse to come...
And Spammers who 'bot' your machine make YOU pay.

Impoverish a Spammer Today

This is another hair-brained scheme that I can already see problems with.
JUST SUE THE PEOPLE WHO HIRE THE SPAMMERS, BIG TIME!
Drying up the demand mean that they don't make money. Not making money means that they don't bother spamming.
What they want is $$$.
Take away their market buy making it no longer cosat effective, by passing laws that will sue the pants off of anybody that send you Spam. And don't worry about borders. You can BUY the border agreement with a percent of the fines.
Its simple economics. Supply and demand. As long as there is a demand, these schmucks will supply.
Tony Sopranos may be immune but his customers are supposed to be legitimate businessmen... You can't sell squat when every Spam you send can get you X thousands in fines levied against you, in every jurisdiction and with every offense.
And NOBODY is going to bve AGAINST this law. (If they are, they're suspect...)
And that's ALL she did. It never occured to her to INSTALL it. We're not takling about keeping up with the updates.
Some user's are clueless and have to be protected from buying a new PC everytime it 'slows down.'
The only time it wasn't sending Spam is when it was turned off (which sometimes she couldn't even do without pulling the plug from the powerbar; trying to shut it down wasn't working.)
Its not so much a 1984-ish, "Winton Smith" scenario as it is one of constant and total surveillance. The point of this "security" is not to "catch 'em red-handed" but to find and fix the blame afterward.
If they could the "security nazis", people only a bit to the right of the "safety nazis", would plant listening devices in your head at birth.
Now what would that, akin to telepathy but outward bound only, do to us as a society?
If you keep the Internet off the ship, there's nothing wrong with NT.
I'm sure all the apps are custom, secured out the ying-yang, and anyone trying to install Outlook or IE is shot on sight.
Of course NT 4.0 sp6 is end-of-lifed but that is roughly irrelevant for most military apps. The ones that need really cool hardware get it. The ones that don't just need old, safe and secure hardware.
Has somebody let Racter loose again?

60GB iPod Coming?

And I haven't even started in on ripping my vinyl yet.
60GB is about a minimum for me. (right now, my 8060 songs [and I have listened to 'em all] is on a LaCie 160 gigger which is luggable but not really...)
I'm surrounded by machines. A Linux box crowding me out under my desk, a Wintel box has taken over the left-hand side on the desktop and my TiBook laptop is sitting on the right-hand side.
Its gotten so bad, I had to install a KVM switch and put another chair in my office. I literally have no room to type. The keyboards are and askew and I have NO ROOM to put down a piece of paper.
The xxAA's will drive up the price of ANYTHING until we start ripping them off again or we move to an alternate model.
Bands who cut their own deals with a downloader distro channel are going to be much cheaper (no xxAAs to pay, no P2P downloading rip-off scam that the xxAAs can claim they're cracking dowm on and no more ripping off the artists.)
Coming to the internet soon: an independent distro channel.
