    I do a similar thing. Except it's a catch-all on a subdomain that is not easily guessed. Being a subdomain means that it has never been targeted by a dictionary spam flood.

    Services that are trustworthy just use my main email address.

    The democratic agenda is "Orange man bad". They have run on nothing else for 2 years now.

  3. and hopefully the criminals would be prosecuted for retaliation. Why would you want to push hate underground?

  5. Re:U.S. only country really fighting climate chang on US Congress Passes Bill To Help Advanced Nuclear Power (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    It's ironic that Trump is derided for leaving the Paris accord, when he's the only one taking actions to significantly improve the climate.

    The end game for truly low emissions is solar + nuclear. No way you can get there with solar alone - and Trump's government is helping to push nuclear in ways that Obama (being of that old green school) simply would not allow, no matter how much of the planet dies as a result.

    What makes you think environmentalism has anything to do with saving the environment?

    Its all anti-corporatism pretending to care about a just cause.

    We need to abolish arrays.

    Idea of placing one thing before another is offensive to retards.
    All elements should get equal participation.

  7. Communicating to encourage suicide is a crime. Communicating to encourage wacko vaccine theories should be too.

    There should be a anti-vaxxer register. There's one for sex offenders, why not anti-vaxxers since they also pose a grave threat to the community.

    So that it can blank your number plate when speeding.

  9. It's a textbook case of Patent Trolling.

  10. Not all of the people in the UK voted to leave. But way to make them realize they should have, by childishly having an un-elected shadow government steal a bunch of domains.

    This action makes me think less of the EU, which I had thought was impossible.

    They want to make an example of the UK because they are desperate that other countries will follow.

    Stopping new .eu registrations is fair enough. But to forcefully revoke already issued domains just shows that the EU cannot be trusted. Even pro-eu people should be cautious about registering .eu now that a lack of registry integrity has been proven.

    Try that at a brick and mortar store.

    Whereby I would get to keep the goods that I purchased for $0. I always keep my receipts so the loss is entirely on the store.

  14. Re:Offshore wind on Why James Hansen Is Wrong About Nuclear Power (thinkprogress.org) · · Score: 1

    The much larger difficulty for nuclear is its waste,

    We already solved that issue. Gen3 produces almost nothing to the point where we have already produced most of the waste that we will ever see.

    Not to mention that what environmentalists call "waste" is actually reusable fuel.

    I don't remote load anything in email. Spyware and other malware is all too common.

  21. Re:Won't allow forwarding? on Gmail Messages Can Now Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    The only part of this that is related to gmail is that it is a chrome extension that adds the feature to the gmail interface. It sends the user an email link to view the message on a webpage, and then deletes the message later. It probably captures select and right click events in order to be "secure" too. In short, it is garbage.

    So, it's not email then. "Go to this website, we have a message for you." No.

  24. Re:Still too much on A Welcome Shift: Spam Now Constitutes Less Than Half of All Email · · Score: 1

    Spam has been moving towards web based services for a while now. Almost all message boards have antispam measures now; every now and then you may run into an orphaned board without such measures, and it'll be wall to wall spam. The ratio of spam and legitimate posts on my Wordpress site used to be over 10/1 until I added some (premium) spam control, but a few spams still make it through.

    It makes more sense for spammers to target blog comments for the simple fact that many people can view a single spam as opposed to just one email recipient. Add to the fact that anti-spam technology for blogs is not as advanced as it is for email and it's like spammer paradise.

    Crooks are also moving into advertising networks. The a mount of malware that is distributed through advertisements is not insignificant.
