I'll read mail that comes from somebody I don't know. If they want me to do X (visit a web site, pay money to anybody AT ALL, or anything of the like) than it's spam.
BTW, the Sierra club sends paper spam. How ironic is that?
You could switch ISPs and quit being such a little bitch. SPEWS isn't unreliable. They are like the fiery sword of Gabriel. Fuck the unbelievers, and the people who enable them. That's what you are doing by buying service from spam-friendly ISPs - supporting the unbelievers.
Are you RETARDED??? SPEWS is an OPT-IN list. If your ISP is shady enough to harbor spammers, that maybe after you are blocked you'll convince them to chuck the spammers, or switch.
If you give me your address, I could help your love of freedom by throwing bricks with notes written on them through your window. Sure, it costs you money to recieve each 'message', and it's a pain in the ass to clean up, but Lord knows we woudn't want to obstruct freedom here.
You're actually implying that these shady umbrella corporations actually contribute significantly to FreeBSD. They really don't.
Volunteer donations, maybe they help (although, being a relatively new concept in open source, I doubt it). Wind River or BSD mall don't help a whole lot.
Do us all a favor and bring him up on the charges. God, what a fucking prick.
Sounds like a little bunghole-loosening is just what this guy needs to take his mind off BSD. It's crazy that this little fucknugget has nothing to do but troll, but I guess that's his game.
Again, PLEASE bring this fucker up on his charges. He sounds like a maladjusted single child on crack...
I have never been able to figure out who'd be retarded enough to actually BUY FreeBSD. Wind River (and those before) hardly kicked any cash towards the development, and did nothing to promote it.
You hit the nail on the head. It's kind of like when one is out fishing or hunting, and the game warden melts out of the shrubbery like the Predator (they always do...). My grandfather taught me long ago to kiss this man's ass, because he has a book six inches thick of offences, some of which you are inevitably breaking. He'll get you if he wants to.
Obviously you haven't been to the West. Excepting CA, OR, and WA, western states are extremely tough on ANY drugs (except alcohol and tobacco, they're entrenched and profitable). 10 in the pen isn't too far off...
It wasn't until 1995 that I became a CompSci student, and found that completing my assignments was far easier than it would be on Windoze with Borland C or MSVC.
In stark contrast to today's world, where about the only think that 'programmers' learn at the University (in the first 2 years of CompSci, anyway) is either MS VC++ or CodeWarrior.
A few years back I asked an instructor of mine if I could use GCC instead of MSVC++ for c coding and was asked 'what's gcc'...
This is true at damn near any public university, unfortunately. Higher-level students are often given a choice of tools, but not until they've had their brains retarded by years of MSVC++ or Codewarrior...
AAC at a bitrate of 96 provides CD quality sound on my test systems (klipsch monitors, yamaha ns10 monitors, various high-grade headphones) where I had to encode MP3s at 160 to get the same quality.
I'm sorry, but Apple is retarded for allowing BestBuy back into the Mac business. Apple used to sell Macs at Best Buy, and ended up pulling out because it was clear that Best Buy's PC suppliers were telling BB not to feature or recommend Macs.
There was actually a lawsuit and a big stink about this a couple of years ago...
Translation: I only have 300 bucks, and want to by a Mac. I can almost buy a shitty Dell or Gateway, why can't I almost afford a Mac, too? It's not fair.
The problem with the SEC is that they are corrupt, lazy businessmen who have been told to pretty much 'lay off' business by the current administration.
How would you like it if you were a car manufacturer and suddenly a government would start producing cars and competing with you using taxpayer money?
It isn't a car, though. A car is made of metal and plastic. An OS doesn't even have to come in a box or be a product. People are finally seeing that computers should be somewhat akin to appliances with the network the utility. China and Japan have been around for a long time, and see the long view better than Microsoft does.
To the moderators who chose 'troll' for this post, google for pandanka. Read up a bit on how acolytes are used as nothing but 'cock socks' and slaves...
Actually, I have made an effort to assure that my Japanese accent sounds as generic as possible (Tokyo). Most non-native English speakers that I know of hardly make an effort to have their English sound correct. When you approach them about this (for example, Andy is not pronounced on-di, it's ANN-di) they get pissed off.
It's possible to learn to speak proper English with a terrible accent. It takes a little more effort to learn how to pronounce our words correctly, though.
Slashdot Mirror
but who defines what spam is?
Unsolicited, mass email that solicits something.

It's a harsh, proactive solution.
Actually, fried spam smells like nothing more than burnt hair and rancid grease.
Which is what spam is, incidentally...
Sure, freedom.
It costs money to recieve spam.

Bitch.
Nice troll.
I think your concept of 'better' is HIGHLY subjective.

Sure, if you consider 'native support' as running about 1/5 of actual java code...

(3) Airbags and seatbelts actually DO help...
It's fairly obvious that Sun has made an effort to assure that Solaris + Java == happy, and (anything else) + Java == not as happy.

My 15GB iPod is full of UNPIRATED music, all of which I have ripped from CDs that I and my girlfriend own.
Alphabetically, I am only at 'r', so I could use the 40GB version.
Translation: I only have 300 bucks, and want to by a Mac. I can almost buy a shitty Dell or Gateway, why can't I almost afford a Mac, too? It's not fair.
Yeah! Just like that NextDimension board...
Er, well, ahem, okay, maybe not.

Football is TOTALLY GAY!!! Let's look at the issues...
1. Tight pants made of lycra-spandex.
2. Bright, nay, fruity colors.
3. The ass grabbing / slapping.
4. The desire to get all sweaty and grab the other guy any way you can.
5. The snap. You're three seconds away from anal penetration or a rim job. Plus, the other guy's face is shoved into your sweaty ass...
6. The poorly applied eye makeup.
7. The cheerleaders are all but ignored by the players.
8. The red-faced, preverted, alcoholic loudmouthed pedophile (coach) supervises showers and all the burly guys are his bitch.
I could go on.
