If I were to say, post a link to Microsoft's TechNet pointing to documentation on how to stop autorun by holding shift down while you insert a cd. Would I get sued too?
If the Software company had "real balls" They'd go after Microsoft for building this feature into their os's for the past decade.
Shift while inserting cd = Old School/Old News
To be sued for quoting the microsoft manual? wow. You pirate it, you goto jail, you buy it, and learn the manual, you goto jail.
Speaking as the former network admin for a "Direct Marketing" aka "Opt-in Mailing" company, the industry is evil.
I've dealt with the hosting in China for the purposes of sending mail, changing ip's daily, thousands of domains, and the use of OpenSource anti-spam software in some very questionalable situations. (Using an anti-spam filter to 'review copy' to make sure its not going to be picked up)
And from all my experience, There's only one thing I can say. The mailers will get around what ever you do, be it state or personal. If you have an email account, regardless of the fact if you give it out, it -will- be mailed to. E-Mail addresses are a super-hot commodity.
Especially if you can get them with the opt-in information attached.
Think of it this way. You opt-in to company A, company A sells your address to Company B. You opt-out to company A. Company B doesnt care. Company B could have already sold your info to Company C, D and E.
Opt-out's are funny, they basically just prove that you're a real live person using that computer.. true spammers love to buy listings that contain those addresses, they dont give a crap if you opt-ed out, they just want live email addresses.
So in short, you want a spam free email account? good luck, do what most people do, create a hotmail account for a spam account, and have a real account that you use for real email.
I've seen databases of 35 million mailable e-mail addresses, and trust me, thats a highly profitable database (and no, i dont have a copy, so dont ask, heh.)
Metacrawler.com was the bomb.. now it seems to just be a bomb..:/
Google sucked the purpose out of most search engines. Not to be a devils advocate or anything, but isnt this like Microsofts monopoly? I mean, you dont have to use microsoft products.. but people do.

Darl! Sweetie.. I've been looking for you, care to go out for drinks to talk about this silly lawsuit?
BTW, would you like to meet in my dark alley or yours? Oh, and baseball bar or crowbar, your choice..
*evil grin*
Hmm.

"We've managed to track down a copy of the form she had filled out, and in the signature area is a big 'N/A'"
That's just scummy, but the people who whore your names are just paid on the amount of forms filled in. I could see somebody doing it.
Very dirty pool.
If they'd release Final Fantasy: CC faster.. they could recoup any losses :)
Personally, I love papermates, they have some good products.
:)
and no, i dont work for papermate
Hmm, FreeNet2 ?
Didn't EFNet do this a few years ago?
Hell, count me in for that.
$500 is price I'd be willing to pay to shut sco up for good.

The BBSOD? Isnt it just BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)
heh.
Awesome, thanks dude.
Thanks what I figured, the mod chip baiscally bypasses ms's bios when its on?
And when its off, it uses the normal one?
Will this flash prevent the Xecuter2.2 PRO chip from working? It's got an on/off switch on it so you can use the xbox live network..
I'm not a mod chip pro, just wondering..
