Yep, had the same problem. A forwarding alias to a Yahoo account. He was marking actual spam as spam, but Yahoo blocked the forwarding server instead of the real source.
Fortunately, it was a family member, so I could smack him for it, but I would have rather been able to smack Yahoo.
They say "time flies when you're having fin" but I never could understand what would be so fun about timing flies. That's actually "time fries when you're having fin" as part of the training procedure for Fish & Chips fast-food.
Hmm. That sounds a bit like a text MUD I remember playing on the BBC in highschool in 1990 and 1991. My memory is kind of hazy and I haven't been able to find anything on Google about it. I think it was simply called Cave.
Points I remember.. - you could "summon" monsters or other players to teleport them to the room you were in. This had varying degrees of success, and your ability improved with experience, and moreso if you had a certain gem
- one of your attacks was to "zap" a player or monster. Toughest monster was the dragon, I think
- there was a sort of co-op puzzle in one place that required two players to get an object, one had to pull a rope to raise a portcullis while the other grabbed the object behind it
- with enough experience you became a wizard, which increased your skills quite a bit
- the admin was a form of super-wizard, but still mortal. I remember when he (a teacher) logged in to shut down the game at the end of a lunchbreak (it would say, "blah has collapsed the cave"), I summoned him and zapped him repeatedly so that he died without being able to shut it down. Good times.
What's needed is an organisation with the resources and the authority to fight terrorism wherever it flourishes. It would be composed of the best and brightest counter-terrorism experts from every country, and armed with state-of-the-art weapons and equipment. It would operate in absolute secrecy -- its existence known only to the most senior government officials. It would attack swiftly and silently, cutting off the head of the viper, before it had a chance to strike.

He said "further software employment." You're assuming they will ever finish working on DNF.

I think if we're going to randomly speculate it is much more fun to put my pink to my mouth and say he is making a "million dollars!"
Wow, did you remove a couple of ribs?

in what way is it difficult to pronounce nintendo? It's said exactly the way it is written.
He's referring to the Wii. All of the armchair-experts were predicting it would fail because of the name.
Thousands of cores are the future. Intel said so.
I, for one, welcome our new space overweights.

So that's what they call it when a web server is melted remotely.

Does anyone else remember this game?

Such an organisation already exists.
Its codename is RAINBOW.
