How much users taking misguided antispam measures, such as
Boucing messages with Mailwasher
Having munged addresses where the "NOSPAM" is in the user part rather than in the domain part (that is, "bozoNOSPAM@isp.net" instead of "bozo@NOSPAMisp.net"), so your servers get hammered with invalid harvested addresses.
Using often broken tools such as SPAMCOP to LART other ISPs?
Does a significant number of problems from your user always come from the same users, or is the problem widespread?
are having a negative effect towards your own efforts at fighting spam, either by diverting ressources or simply being a nuisance?
How much of the SPAM complaints do you do receive are properly done (that is, with headers and sent to the proper ISPs)???
It should be as little luser-configurable as possible. The idea is consistency and standards; when one supports many users, one doesn't want wonky menus (one of my lusers smarly puts his Word 2000 menu vertically on the left side of his screen - no her brain cannot grasp the concept of having several overlapping windows of different applications on the same screen) or even just wierd icons.
Connolly, the spokesman for the Pennsylvania attorney general, said Wednesday that in such cases involving a Web site with a shared address, authorities contact the Web-hosting companies and order them -- under threat of legal action -- to pinpoint and shut down the illegal pornographic sites.
Does the reach of the Pennsylvania attorney general extends beyond the border of Pennsylvania, or, for that matter, beyond the border of the USA? No? So, how it's gonna work?
£5 per car, per day. The bigwigs on expences who travel in their BMWs will drive through without blinking an eyelid. Mr Bloggs who has to drive in and is on a Teachers salary has to pay the same £5. £150 for 30 days travel is a big dent - up to £1800 a year.
If the proletarians didn't have cars, there wouldn't be any congestion.
I know that would keep ME out (I already take the commuter train and two metros to get to work, because parking is just TOO expensive for me (in Montreal -- not London)).
I just wonder what place in Montréal is 2 Métro rides away from the train stations AND where parking would be expensive...
In central London all the bus stops contain LED displays showihng how long you'll have to wait for each bus. Likewise, on the tube (underground, subway) their are simialr displays. Normally they say things like "Baker Street 3minutes; Chancery Lane you'll be lucky" but hey...
How about: Bakerloo trains are all on time. We would like to apologize for the situation and hope it will come to normal soon enough.
Now, how about indicting and convict Kazaa and those of the same ilk who pepper their users' computer with all sorts of spyware without explicitly warning them right upfront???
The sequence of slides shows what roughly look like the Octopods, so it seems this movie will span several of the books.
duh ? On which side you see octopods? Slide 8? Can't you count to three? This is obviously one of those roving spider-cameras "biot" they catch in Rama-I...
It's amazing that no one ever mentionned OTRAG, which more than 25 years ago, nearly came to be a successful PRIVATE venture to put things in orbit for very cheap.
They used clusters of a very simple rocket to hoist very big loads. But they ultimately fell under pressure from the soviet-union and the united-states...
No wonder the clunky shuttle and the wasty coho3 are the only game in town...
The space shuttle is one of the most incredible hay-wire flying jalopies that can be thought of. There isn't a safety margin one could be proud of in the whole system. Flaky external tank insulation and brittle heat-resistant tiles, and an utter dependence on dynamic stabilization.
Worse is the fact that independant space vehicle programs either peter-out, or when they have a good hint of becoming successful, they get heavily leaned-on by the big wigs.
Now, what's gonna happen next?
They gonna bring down the remaining astro-nuts that are on the space station, and NASA will simply mothball the space station.
No one will get to space for 10 years after that (except maybe the Chinese), and the space station will decay just like Skylab did.
I did the exact same thing when Challenger blew up. I was 6 years old and I wanted to watch USA Cartoon Express and my parents kept watching the news. I always felt a little weird about that - understandable, but weird.
The very same thing happenned to me for Apollo 1...
Once, I had a nightmare; I was in a kitchen full of beheaded people, and I rushed out only to find the sky darkening quickly.
Then, a hand came out from the sky and grabbed me. Naturally, I began screaming at the top of my lungs, continuing to scream even as I was awakening, only to find my lover shaking me: "wake-up! wake-up! you're having a nightmare!" (no kidding!!!).
I then realized that the "hand from the sky" was my lover shaking me... I started laughing, pissing-off my lover you would'nt believe (after that, I slept like a baby)...
Anybody home there? This uses **EXACTLY** the same principle as the GIFFARD INJECTOR which was invented almost 150 years ago, and since then used to stuff water into high-pressure steam boilers.
Engineers should be forced to study railroads, they were the high-tech of 150 years ago, and they actually invented many things, most especially modern telecommunication networking!!!!

My advice? Get all the sex you can while you can get some easily. It's much easier to pick when you're 12 than when you're 40...

This means that there will be more bandwidth available when we surf for pr0n, since all those kinky amish won't be able to go there too!!!

Don't tell me it's too cold, you can always use the tunnels... :) :) :)

Maybe they should switch to Micosoft's "implementation"...

Well, let's at least hope that A.C.C. will live long enough to see the movie...

Heck, it even PREDATES the web!!!
How about QIX???
