Every so often I go through my spam folder, it's pretty funny. I've noticed lately that a lot of them don't even have links, it's like they're just trying to annoy us. For example, I received this yesterday:
Forge your huge love sword
and that was it. No link, no pictures. My theory is I have a really good friend who goes through a whole lot of effort just to make me smile. Either that, or it's an insult on my manhood designed to make me feel inadequate.
Computer to phone line. Dial up to a north american ISP. They'll have a hard time filtering web content through what shows up as a phone conversation. I'd be willing to pitch in for the bill, though I doubt many companies would charge for that. Someone set up a netzero account for these people or something, I only have $6.75 in my checking account (and no credit card). Either that, or http://www.i2p2.de/ for an encrypted tor-like connection.
I guess you're right, I've been thinking about buying a license to 10.5 just because I believe pirating software is wrong, I just enjoy the novelty of "I paid $800 for my 2.6Ghz dual core mac!". I don't blame apple either, but I really do wish they would just put out a version of OSX that would run legally on a PC. I don't care if I don't get support. Literally all they have to do is stop bricking my machine with quicktime updates and I would shell out the $129 instantly
I've had my osx86 machine bricked by updates, not to the point of hardware failure, but to the point of unrecoverableness. There's actually a.kext file that they put in called "dont_steal_macosx.kext" or something similar, but I guess that's a risk you have to take with this kind of software
why they didn't just go with a simple list of games like in gears 1 is beyond me. I couldn't take the wait times anymore, so I switched back to the 1st

The guy who made Smozzy replied to a bunch of questions on HN There is no encryption between the phone and his service (yet)
I am an extremely cheap person and I want to develop iPhone apps
and that was it. No link, no pictures. My theory is I have a really good friend who goes through a whole lot of effort just to make me smile. Either that, or it's an insult on my manhood designed to make me feel inadequate.
Forgive the youtube link, but a British TV show called "The IT Crowd" did a pretty good anti-piracy warning.
Dear sir or madam, I would like to inform of a new courtesy drug ranging in 50% off! Help protecting swine flu from child or pet!

I'm in hoboken, and I didn't see any of this. Thanks for gluing me to my computer, slashdot.

"not to the point of hardware failure"
I don't think apple has the power to get away with pushing updates that would destroy hardware

I could tell it was the anniversary of the end of prohibition by the amount of puke in the bathrooms in my hall... it was a lot.
that's ok. I wasn't using my civil liberties anyway.
You heard me, I won't be in for the rest of the week. ... I told you! My dog beat me up! ... No, it is not the worst excuse I ever thought up.
