  2. From the page source code... on Spam Opt-out Link Triggers Malicious Code Attack · · Score: 1
    The real page is at "http://www.xce lent.biz/o/" but is hidden in a frameset so you can't see the real address.

    Here is a gem code snippet:

    function scrollRoot(y) {
    // probably the dumbest scrollbar emulation on this planet ;)
    frames["root"].scrollTo(0,(frames["root"].document .body.firstChild.offsetHeight/100*(y/document.getE lementById("root").offsetHeight*100)));
    }
    The page tries to emulate a scroll bar; I got suspicious when the scoll bar did not work properly with my mouse wheel...

    Elsewhere in the code, it tries to download "http://www.xcelent.biz/o/windows-update32.exe" and excute it as an image... - but I can't download it as now, since it seems to be slashdotted...

    You see, there are those dudes that are called the cops, the fuzz, the pigs. Those people view civilians (non-cops) as inferior. They deem themselves superior to civilians, and as such, they like to poke their snotty noses everywhere. And whenever an inferior tells them to fuck-off (either directly, or indirectly, such as using invalid WHOIS data), they tend to be pissed-off, and will not hesitate to use an army of means they have at their disposal, anyone of them being able to really make your day.

    You've watched wayy too much Star Trek. The Death Penalty is neither 'primitive' nor 'barbaric'. It is, in fact, the honest response to the fact that sometimes people can do things for which there is no recompense and after which that person can never again be trusted to act as a human being. The Death Penalty isn't primarily a 'deterrent', it isn't a 'punishment', it's the best means of insuring that a person who has utterly broken from civilization and proven so through his actions can never again harm an innocent person.
    The death penalty is both. First by being irreversible, and second by implementing what most primitive societies have had for justice: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
    What is the purpose of Justice but to insure that no one gets wronged? Killing a killer will not bring back the victims, nor it will make restitution to the victims' families. Justice is best served when the least number of people get harmed in any way.
    What can you say of a society that pretends there is 'some good in all of us', or that evil people deserve 'mercy'? Or worse yet, that there is no such thing as 'good' or 'evil'? Is that 'advanced'? Is that 'enlightened'?
    Indeed they are. But one cannot explain those concepts to a primitive mind any more than one can explain music to a deaf or colour to a blind.
    The idea that only a 'primitive' society could still have the Death Penalty is bizarre, bordering on the contemptibly stupid.
    Well, perhaps it is a concept a bit more advanced than what your brain can handle...
    In other words, I'm sure it's all the rage on college campuses.
    Truly spoken like an Ozarks uneducated redneck. How's your coon dog? Doggone? Well, you ain't playin' possum, boy! And when are you gonna fix that '67 Chevy, the one that's closest to your trailer, chickenboner?

  12. You still need rockets to build the damn thing... on The Space Elevator - Public or Private? · · Score: 1
    Although this promises real **CHEAP** space access, you still need to build the thing. Since no material can be sufficiently rigid to stay straight while going up, the only possible way is to build it DOWN. That is, down from geostationnary orbit (or at least, when it touches the ground).

    So, this means that everything that goes into building it will have to get up there first. This means that the huge amount of material needed will give a tremenduous incentive to mine the moon, or even perhaps the asteroïd belt.

    Whatever the way you choose to dice it or slice it, it means that you'll definitely need cheap space access just to get the machinery and the workers there, if not the materials.

    And can it really be that cheaper? After all, the Chunnel didn't kill the ferry business accross the channel... Likewise, despite the significant cost savings a space elevator will entail, we will have to pay for the darn thing. So, you can expect marginal (less than an order of magnitude) savings over the cheapest rocket method...

Send WRITTEN notice to the requesting party that you have received their request and as you are not a party to any unauthorized copyrighted materials, provisions under copyright law and/or DCMA (if in the US) and were inappropriately served notice/demand, their demand necessitates a response at their expense to which you have engaged upon receipt of their demand.

    Put simply, it is in the selfish interests of the rich for America not to have an underclass of unemployable illiterates.
    ...
    Therefore, in a Libertarian America, I presume you would see something pretty similar to what you had before the state began to provide education. Wealthy philanthropists would pay for scholarships and endow schools. Companies would pay for their employees' children's schooling, just as today they pay for health insurance and sometimes housing.
    What will happen is that the rich/companies will give out education that suits them best: armies of dulled-down cheap-labour drones.

    Just like countries where the education is controlled by the clergy turn out a bunch of dulled-down religious bigots who don't question the clergy.
