Vote with your feet. Stop buying/using products from companies that engage in unfair business and political practices.
i agree. we already have people standing outside of starbucks complaining about fair trade coffee and the likes? how is this any different? corporations don't just print money, it's given to them for various services/goods/etc they provide (excluding the occasional good-ole-boy contract with a wealthy country)...
it's be said thousands upon thousands of times: if you don't like microsoft products, don't buy them. (if you have a bad meal at a $75/plate restaurant, would you go back?) actively campaign at your uni/govn't agency/corp. to make a switch to free/oss stuff. bitch, whine, kick, scream, hand out flyers about 'microsoft's bad business practices' and how it affects [insert country/corp]'s people and/or livelyhood. don't say anything slanderous, and try to keep the FUD to a minimum, and you'll be okay.
It's up to the small guy to fight back (in a fair way:).
precisely. hitem' where it hurts, right there at the bottom line. unfortunately, the way most corp's deal with a falling bottom line is to fire the people making the least... lots of them. it's easier to do that than to perhaps force a 5% pay cut on the people making the $1.2m salaries... how would they pay for that new rols that way?
Of course they can. But how in hell will they ever see another new customer via the internet again?
by only putting that restriction on deep-linked files? (eg NOT the frontpage, or stuff with a google referrer, or maybe just !blank || @orbitz.com in the referrer?)
granted you can disable the http-referrer bit in some browsers...
really. but i do feel bad for the editors taking so much shit over dupes they feel like they absolutely have to mention something that happened yesterday, 'similar in concept'.
perhaps there is a list online somewhere of all the cities with wifi, without popup ads and whatnot... just "nothing to see here... go here: " every time.
they still have to fly thousands upon thousands of miles, which takes time. S. Korea is a 'stones throw' away from N. Korea (might be why they are named N and S... ) and kimbo could launch every last one of his nukes by the time ours got to him...
now if we could borrow bill's laser-satelite, mass produce them, geosyncronize them over N. Korea, took out all their nuclear silos (assuming we knew where they ALL were, and big ups to the USA intel. community, they are always on point) then maybe we'd found a reasonable out.
The only thing we had going for us in Iraq was they didn't actually have WMDs. Made it easy not to fear retaliation. oh, wait.
i've read some stuff talking about what would happen if we tried to invade n korea, and it mostly went down like: no matter what action is taken against N. Korea, Souel, S Korea will be destroyed. (be it nuclear or just a barrage of short-range missles)... there is allegedy no way to take out n korea's artillary quickly enough to prevent some attack on S. Korea.
it really depends on if you include what the various spam filters along the line drop... my mailserver drops (as in ignores) every spamassassin says is 13+ points. my local mail client (kmail with spamd running) marks the rest as [SPAM] and files it in the trash for me (4-12.9 points)... i get thousands upon thousands of spams daily (i've had and used the same email address since 1995... and aquired some since ), most of which are completely ignored. end up with maybe 40-60 daily in my client. 3 or 4 daily that get past all filters, which i use to train whenever it get's to be 100 messages or so...
mailing lists are legit. you won't get much spam to mailing lists, 'moderated' ones useually get none. but how long was your email address published on various websites before it was such a big deal to hide it. eight years ago it wasn't a bad thing(tm) to publish an email address on a webpage. now it's dant e @@@ at wiw Do.T.TotDot org to make the spam bots freak out and not recgonize it.
i did some tests with spam traps and email addresses that never once existed, just a unique one to an ip address or a date or whatever. i don't want a/.ing but on my site at/projects/cliff/inbox.php is a thousand or so mailto: links back to address that sent fully unsolicited email...

i found an old disc labeled 'first one', and is the first non-coaster i burned with my hp 7100 cdwriter (which i still use, but no longer burns)... the media is a hp 'c4432a', burned jan 5 1996... the data is still in tact, even trapped a few legacy virii in the confines of unscanned.zip files.
i'm curious what type of disc it is (dye), because it's 9 years old, and seen some of the harshest conditions i can imagine a cd-r would have to survive (cold damp basement, hot dry attic, caseless thrown around the desk... ) but the data is still fine.
Then again, I'm on a first-name basis with all the workers because they are small establishments with little employee turnover.
which is entirely true in most places, regardless of their size. the small 'downtown' establishments are more customer-centric. the same places that Wal*Mart are targeting to put out of business.
please don't ever forget that the hard-working man is the reason this country [was/is?] so great... not the C?? of X Corp, llc making $600kUS annualy because of how well he can lay off people, or cut their health benefits.
you joke, but that's the main reason i moved 'home' to Tennessee from Oregon. in greeneville, voted 2000 Best Small Town in America (or something), i can walk into the bar, have a few drinks, and leave. 'Running tabs' as it were. (the TN A.B.C says this is illegal and comes ready with a $1500 fine, per offense... ) This method of purchase / interaction with store owners includes (but not limited to) the local hardware store, grocery store, computer shack, etc, etc. I enjoy the fact if i forget my wallet/chequebook/safe-deposit key (the last one is frightening, but true.) the clerk knows me and i can simply say 'can i bring you a cheque tomorrow?'...
smaller towns you loose too much privacy, bigger towns you have no hope of being remebered. I personally like the middle of all that, which is why tn is a great place..02$us.
have you ever been to knoxville tennessee on a saturday? 150,000 weekly would buy that god-awful tangerine laptop your friend stole. (univ. of tenn vols are the most hideous shade of orange you ever did see)... but i find it hard to believe apple targeted appalacia with their orange powerbooks though.
i'm with the parent. handicapped spots can go either way, as you've shown.
the 'no parking: fire lane' isn't your special little place right in from of the store to wait for the one or two items your wife had to pick up, type thing. i hate that. i take pictures of the car + the no parking sign whenever i see it, almost strictly so someone will confront me about it.
that's where the whole community that is OSS comes in and makes it work.
pipe-dream talking: 'open source' all of government (full disclosure, which is, in turn, my whole 'higginsforpresident' campaign [vote, 2028]) and there would be no question...
i want to live in a world where my government is acting in my best interest, has ABSOLUTELY nothing to hide, and listens to it's people for answers. to me, OSS does that. the stuff is there for a reason, has nothing to hide, and public patches modifications and improvements are WELCOME. if only our government worked in such a manner, it's just not in their 'best interested' to make readily availble all the things they have done, because under the scrutiny that is 'the masses' sooooo many flaws and shortcomings would be pointed out.
which is why rather than posting the/. links coral-ized on the main page, slashcode should coralize them for the editor who posts it, who can in turn verify the links work and set coral to start caching it immediately before it gets posted.
i thought phrack became l0pht, started doing security type stuff, but got away from the phone-phreaking type stuff in the early 90's? i've been wrong before though...

problem being, most implmentations of 'alice' i've "talked" to aren't very bright, and would segfault trying to read

you must be 25+ to submit articles
and you should probably change your password, within the next week maybe.
the true die hards dialed bbs's and found them there. nothing like being able to read the article as it is being downloaded into telix at 2400bps.
