Corporate america has them all in their pockets from the get go.
If there ever was an honest politician he'd never even get to the primaries before getting the living crap smeared out of him by special interests hell bent on protecting their political might.
1. Spammers already make a metric fuckton of money 2. Crooks willing to hijack computers won't be deterred from stealing financial information to pay email fees with. 3. Such crooks are already using zombie computers, so the victims would get stuck paying anyway
out of country companies that hire spammers can rightly tell the USA to go screw themselves. And if that country happens to not like the US, it gets even harder.
Spammers don't give a shit about following the law. Hell they're brazen enough to DDOS the shit out of Blue Security. Face it, they aren't just annoying. They are vicious crooks, almost as bad as mafiosi and probably wouldn't hesitate to kill if they wanted to.
The only way to protect US citizens from spam sent from outside the country (or inside at the direction of out of country CC servers) is to firewall the whole country...and we can't have that can we?
If a spam message fails a SPF or DK check, just drop it without any further checking. The fact that it's forged is a dead giveaway that it's not legit.
Hell, I wish gmail would just hard-reject that sorta crap instead of leaving it in my spam folder amid other possible false positives I need to sift through to make sure nothing got filed there by accident.
At the moment the mines are stopping the pipeline.
The environmentalists may well prefer the lesser of two evils and let the mines stick around as long as they have the side effect of blocking a gas pipe.
Try NOT agreeing to give up your privacy. Life will get so difficult and doing business will be such a pain in the ass that you regret it right away... _
What worries me is that with all these "unconstitutional" laws still being on the books, all it will take is a few braindead SCOTUS rulings to dust them off and put them back in full force.
Perhaps that is the reason we as a society don't like to hire criminals. We think they get off too easy. Make prison something to regret going to. That way, not only do you not want to go back, but you've paid through the nose for your crime and people will understand you've learned your lesson.
And quite frankly, if life sucks so bad that you'd rather be in jail than on the streets, then there's something seriously fucked up about the way we take care of ourselves. If homeless folks can't even make a living better than the crooks behind bars, then crime DOES pay.
I would do these * Make prison a hellish place for EVERYONE...including those ass-bangers who think it's funny to rape their fellow inmates and get away with it. * Take care of homelessness
Saying the banking system is innocent of neglecting security is like saying a security guard who happens to fall asleep on duty isn't responsible if there's a break in.
Or rather, we should nix the fallacy that ONE bad act can earn blame on just ONE person.
Think about this. If a criminal broke into a storage unit because the guard was asleep, the guard doesn't get off scot-free, right? Even though the criminal gets the blame?
They both contributed to the theft. The thief by actually doing it, and the guard for letting it happen.
The crooks actually doing the fraud should get nailed. But I think the banks have plenty of blame themselves for trying to weasel out of security.
Considering TPB's name and attitude towards legal threats/notices (that last one is a doozy), I think they knew GODDAMNED WELL they were facilitating illegality.
I don't know Swedish law to the letter but I think that aiding and abetting is just as illegal.

Simple.
They both compete with entertainment industry profits.
Who else are we supposed to vote for?

Speaking of leaks...do federal judges need security clearances?
Eminent domain applies to IP.
anyone pulling that crap would probably have his patent confiscated in the interests of national security.

I'd bet most spam is forged in some way.
If a spam message fails a SPF or DK check, just drop it without any further checking. The fact that it's forged is a dead giveaway that it's not legit.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Even if they DID go metered they'd exempt their own bits from measuring.
Watch a gigabyte's worth of cable, it's free. Do so on your computer, they charge.
Or if someone IRL just wants to be an asshole and decides to email all his friends something that he knows damn well you want kept private.
I actually had this happen to me.
What little privacy you DO have can always be taken from you by force.
_ ...or corporations like Google that completely foul up a new feature and accidentally expose everyone's contact list to each other.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
Yes.
Gold WOULD become worthless if we had it in large volumes.
Rarity is what MAKES it valuable. Ditto for diamonds, silver, and any other precious thing.
There's something about having something that someone else doesn't...
You surrender only because you cannot win.

And if you don't, well, there's always gitmo.
What about chipless cards? Which, btw, are still being issued.

I never said the criminal was innocent, btw.

China would drag me with him.
HIPAA, sorry.
If he was really too fat to fly they never should have sold him a ticket.
And they'd better damn well have given him a full refund or a free transfer or it's fraud.
It could just be that the newly uncensored results are still inheriting their lame PageRank standings that got choked by censorship.

So does your immune system.
If we did NOT kill germs, THEY would kill US.
