who is going to contest this? The cellphone companies WANT you to burn up your minutes. This is good for both telemarketers and cellphone companies. Consumers will probably just be SOL in this case.
And regarding the wardialers that telemarketers use, I am sure it is illegal but isn't it the job of the FCC or someone to regulate? I personally get those sort of calls all the time and of course the caller ID displays unknown caller and star 69 won't work so I'd have a hard time determining who made the call. Even if I could determine who to sue and take them to small claims, it would be their word against mine. I think whoever the responsible party is needs to do better investigating of telemarketers. IMHO, overseas telemarketing should be responded to with tac nukes.

Another Whack at Spam

Or change the underlying technology that is invisible to postmasters:)
You likely don't get any spam.
Not a single spam in at least a couple of years. (well, not counting crap my mom sends me but I don't want to blacklist her for obvious reasons.)
Many businesses use automated e-mail for valid reasons - order confirmation and shipping information status, verification of account creation (including mailing you a password), rebate status confirmation and more
Actually I use congresspersons email addresses when applying for stuff. All mail I send is returnable, and I whitelist anyone I expect to recieve a confirmation from. This is simply not a problem as you describe. Sure I have to maintain my whitelist, but how often do I really need to make changes? Not often.
Heck, I know humans who wouldn't bother either, particularly if they are trying to do you a favor with their initial e-mail effort. Anyone who wants to initiate any conversation with me is going to have to jump through the hoop. Tough luck. Good thing is, not only have I not recieved any complaints. Would I care if I did? No.
Sure, in some cases you can put a trusted address in a challange system to let it pass, but sometimes you just don't know the address that the sender will be using. So a challange / response system will do most people more harm than good.
Requiring user intervention to initiate a conversation is no more harming people than requiring them to enter an extension to speak with you on the telephone. By the way, I require an extension to be entered to leave me a voicemail and screen calls so I recieve no voice spam either.
Of course, I still waste your bandwidth and mailbox capacity And I waste yours back. I use challenge response filtering. There is no risk of false positives either so I don't really have any upkeep work to do as you described.
I believe the universe is an atom made up of smaller planets and suns and stuff which are made up of smaller atoms and all which are made up of quarks and so on and smaller and if you go backwards like the universe is really just part of another atom which is part of another molecule and so on. Anyone ever see the superfriends episode I about the microuniverse?
One problem here man. I work at a bank. Our IT we have things sewed up tight. That aside.. The problem with using the methods you stated are that port 80 doesn't keep alive, so SSH dies. Pretty much all of the other ports are blocked. That sort of thing worked fine at the company I used to work for, but it won't work here. Thats not a bad thing though considering it is a bank.
Webmin acts as its own http service and has its own logs under/var/log/webmin or something. I don't really read individual logs though, I use stuff like snort and logcheck to generate summary emails of abnormalities. It makes life easier. If you have more complex needs than what logcheck offers there are other similar options.
When you are stuck at a place who's firewall rules don't allow you to shell to your box without using wierd connection methods like http tunnelling, webmin thru SSL is about the best alternative. I set up an email trigger with procmail to turn on the service so it isn't running all the time, and set limits on retries, after I found some logs of some dialup accounts trying to log into it. Anyway, I use it to read my spam proofed email, run apt-get for security updates, and write lyrics (saves me from having to email personal stuff to myself unencrypted over the network or lug a disk around).
That unless there was a leak, it won't be available anywhere until you make it available. So since there must have been a leak, one of the students must die. Then they can also learn to bring a gun with them to shows to make sure they get paid. Even gospel bands do that.
In my limited understanding, they are currently using technology to make the marks smaller, and that they having been coming up with optical technology to read these smaller marks and make them appear larger (not sure on the terminology). I would figure having a more directional and precise laser would make this technology more possible?
All I think when I hear the words "1 atom laser". Extra high resolution CDs that allow the space neccessary for crazy good sample rates that could one day make a worthy replacement for vinyl. Then the record companies can have something we'd actually buy so they don't have to steal to survive.
So now it seems that after talking with Microsoft "at the senior level", and a few months have gone by for those talks to take place they now put out a report with a different spin to it? I dunno. Even if it is bogus it doesn't matter. 99% of statistics they say... The only thing that means anything is that it made for a poor news headline.
Theres this guy in memphis who put up all these signs all over the city that say tobacco kills. You'd see em like everywhere in high hard to reach places and your like man someone really went to work! Tale has it that he was some guy dying from cancer or something and someone I know knew who he was and went into his backyard and he had like a million signs and like sign hanging equipment and all kinds of stuff.
Then there was this other guy who put up signs everywhere with pictures of sammy davis jr. on them. I heard his story. He was like in a battle with the tobacco kills guy, and would take down the tobacco kills signs and put up sammy signs. Theres more stories about it but its just wierd.
So is this Bill Evans the saxophonist, Bill Evans the banjo player, Bill Evans the dancer, Bill Evans the camera operator for the sports illustrated swimsuit edition, Bill Evans the deceased pianist... so many Bill Evans in entertainment I don't know who we're talking about so I don't know what I want to ask. I could care less about downloading crap though I'm so bored of hearing about it.
When THEY go 2 straight weeks without power in the heat, like all of my city (memphis TN) just had to deal with a few weeks ago, then I'll read the story. I could care less if a bunch of people have to reset their clocks.
The only real advantage to the message destination being a newsgroup is that no one would be able to determine who the recipients mail is from. I agree that having messages both archived and more easily accessible to the general public is probably not the best idea. I could care less who reads my mail though. I hope people waste their bleeding time doing it.

Not that far from being possible considering that Cooter is a former Georgia congressman.

What a long time to be on lockdown! I would hate to be his cellmate, considering he annoys people for a living.
Just think how many people you could pretend to be, with 250 bucks per identity you could clean these guys out.

First of all, these same guys got into it with microsoft over another report around last november that said Microsoft OS's were more vulnerable:
