You just posted a whole rant based on the off-handed description of law by a slashdot poster. You might want to review the actual law for descriptions of what constitues "unsolicited email" in the posters wording.
Without reviwing it myself, I can count myself a pretty sure that just initiating an email exchange doesn't require you to put ADV: in your email, since every other email on the net would be required to have it.
I am not batman, I am not Johan Sebastian Bach, and I am not Richard Feynman, I have accepted this; perhaps you are not capable of Discrete Mathematics. If not, you need to leave CS, and go get in MIS or something, you will be happier.
Wow, thanks for your help. I'm sure the submitter really valued this input. I simply hope that you are not now, nor will ever be, someone in a position to give real advice to people. "Having trouble with division, Johnny? Well, not all people can divide big numbers. Maybe you should give it up. Maybe 5th grade isn't the thing for you. I'm not Batman, you know."
which sports the original maroon and white NES colors.
Actually, it sports the original Famicon colors, white, marron and gold. Nothing to do with the NES, which looks NOTHING at all like a Famicon. The North American NES was grey/dark grey and bright red.
I think you mean 000-000-0000 to 999-999-9999. And since the script will have to create a new email account on some local server for every 10 addresses, poll those accounts at least every 72 hours, and then GET the "confirmation" links in them, that's a lot of work and overhead.
At least things are getting more efficient around here. The editors are posting bogus news stories, then retracting them themselves before someone points it out. I call that progress!
"but is this where you want to see the Megaman series going?"
It appears to me that there have been 2D megaman games all along. They've never stopped making 2D megaman games, they have always made 2D megaman games. The franchise is not *headed* in this direction, it has been there since the 80s. Not to mention, of course, that 3D megaman games have existed simultaneously with 2D games, on many systems.
The real question is whether or not Capcom will take the game in the direction I call "not sucking so much anymore."
"To understand why there are differences, we need to peek inside the HTML files. This part of the analysis is quite time-consuming, but by now we have some experience"
Apparently have have a REALLY hard time using "diff".
I never reply to Ask Slashdot's saying they suck. Usually Ask Slashdot is my favorite section of the site... However, this one really fucking sucks. I mean, seriously... This guy can't type for shit, obviously has a problem with.mac, and yet can't figure out how to solve his own silly little problem? Call or email them, you fucking putz. Jesus christ. What's next?
ASK SLASHDOT: I lost my bus token and now I can't get on the bus. What do I do?
ASK SLASHDOT: When I hold my breath I tend to pass out. Is there any recourse I can take against my lungs?
Who the fuck overclocks their PC anymore?
And what the fuck is up with this 20 second bullshit. It's taken me 5 fucking tries to post this. 7 seconds: learned about the fucking retarded timer 19 seconds: WHOOPS TOO SOON 18 seconds: JUMPED THE GUN AGAIN! 20 seconds, but I forgot the subject line, and had to wait all over again! All to what? Weed out quick thinking people. Excellent work, slashdot.
Use PayPal to send your friend some money, he can pick it up with his credit card, and then get you the parts you need on his card with your money. That is, if PayPal takes credit cards. Else you could mail him an international money order, or some equivalent of an international bankers cheque. I'm sure there are a couple ways of getting him some money, so he could do the purchasing for you.
I'm sick of people jackassing around here, blah blah blahing about how easy it was to find on google... Ask Slashdot isnt just a forum for the poster to find their answer, it's like every other part of/. A place to have a discussion. Cliff posts stories, I assume, that he thinks will spark a good discussion, not based on the ease of finding the answer on google.com. This is "ASK SLASHDOT" NOT "ASK GOOGLE.COM".
Most people dont have more than one address, nor do they create "spam trap" accounts that they use just once for an online purchase. Most people have a single ISP account they use for everything, and get tons of spam on. They dont know where to pin point the source of the spam, or who gave sold their address to the spammers in the first place. Most people think spam isnt spam at all, just talk to any newbie who's wondering how "someone on the internet" thought they'd be interested in porn/weightloss/freemoney/etc. And most companies know this, and think this gives them a carte blanch to sell email addresses till their hearts and pockets are content.
Should be super easy to do with a web server running apache and mod/perl, with a mysql database. You could hand enter the purchases on a web page, or use links for each item. Or, even better, you could use a:cue:cat to scan them in, and even print out your own barcodes.
I started a project like this a while ago, but didn't have time to get it running. I think I babbled about it for a bit on my open source website, www.dontpokebadgers.com All the parts are out there for this system, someone just needs to put them all together.

Well, it looks like the original post has been silently edited to reflect the changes I observed in my above post.

Not to say it couldn't be done, though.

Follow:
99 cents a track.
~12 tracks on a disc.
~12 bucks for the music, and you have to provide the bandwith, physical media, and case. oh, and no liner notes.
Thanks, but I'll go to my local indie store, where they have the media, case, and liner notes all for 12 bucks.

I did pretty much this exact thing as a proof of concept. You can download it from www.dontpokebadgers.com and modify it as you see fit.

Please make a browser that doesn't suck, and I will use it.

I love those books! When's the movie coming out?
Wow, then he was even more wrong than I thought.
"from the adenosine-sharp dept."
Yes, adenosine is a protein, but I think you meant adenine, since the 4 base-pair proteines are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
