Yes but wouldn't you agree that an expendature like that is worth it in the long-term? Just because a particular product is in the negative doesn't mean it is dying. I think in the this case they have to invest a ton of money to capture market share while they can. XBOX has been kicking major ass in the gaming market. A market that MS is turning to as the going gets tough.
I agree that this is a solution, and some ISPs are already implementing this. But some people like to send their mail through smtp servers on other networks. This at least must be addressed.
I agree with your last statement completely. Unfortunately the complete trust nature of SMTP is out dated and must be addressed in some fashion.
Just to add a little to what you said, Although this is technically true when viewed from the RFC specifics, spam software is perfectly capable of running within an SMTP server instance, where the message would be parsed further for more info on cc/bcc, etc.
But unfortunately that wont stop spammers. Spammers can send one message at a time to each recipient on their list. And what would distiguish them from a legit mailing list?
Also, the idea of having a "CPU cost" (in terms of a extra cycles) for each transaction has been thrown around before and, I think, deemed a bad idea in general. More appealing are solutions such as white lists and effective(??) spam filtering.
Yeah good idea but one thing.. how would you send mail again? Kind of hard to send mail without being able to connect to port 25 of the mail server you choose.
I'm sure that he will live with this for the rest of his life. Killing someone because you made a mistake has to weigh on your mind.
I remember reading about a man that was sentenced to send a check every month to the parents of the person he killed for $1 so he would never forget. (I may be paraphrasing but the idea is the same)
That's actually the reason they predict this. They are going to bundle it with an actual release of Duke Nukem: Forever like they bundled GT3 with the PS2. People will be so damn amazed they will rush out to buy one..
No, you are assuming some are unpopular because they are intellegent. More accurate would be to say people are unpopular because they lack people skills or communication skills necessary to convince other people of their arguments. Some fo the most well known intellegent people were also popular. For instance, Einstein.
Also, the idiots are resentful comment is very broad and sweeping. Do 10 years in this industry and you'll find that some smart people are just as resentful and will try to attack you for such reasons. It's part of life I think.
The nerds vs jocks comparison smells of high school thinking. Many of us love the outdoors and play sports but yet could engage in intelligent conversation and debate just as well.
Well it all really comes down to not really owning the material, you just license it. Intellectual Property, copyright, blah blah blah. You know, things discussed in detail on this site and half a million other sits every day?
Please tell me you live under a rock... I suspect so if you've never seen a DVD that you can't skip the previews on.
In the future you will own nothing, be expected to strive for this nothing out of fear of social stoning, and then pay interest on this nothing. Oh wait, that future is now.
General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
of how willing law makers are to infringe on your civil rights. First they create an infrastructure where if you don't drive you are basically crippled and then they tell you it's a priveledge.
I will protest by driving a small obnoxious electric powered 45 mph top speed car with lots of D&D stickers on the back.
If contrarily, it's not surprising to see a "Microsoft developers like [yourself]" embracing this "embrace and extend" of a monopoly.
Actually I don't give a hoot about politics. I'm TRUE hacker who will do anything to get his code running on ANY platform. I can tackle a Linux app just as quickly and easily as I tackle a Win32 app.
Besides, I'd bet good money I've released more GNU/GPL'd open source code than you AC. So save your rhetoric.
As for me, I think it's a cute project, but it's only use I see is cross-platform GUI applications. (a good thing for Linux adoption by the masses) And Mono is way off for doing that.
And that "cute" use is enough to get Microsoft developers like myself actually interested in Linux development.
1. So Win32 developers can create applications in a high level environment similiar to Java on linux. Java is great. But so is.Net.
2. So we can port.Net applications to Linux faster.
I want to use c# and.net on Linux. I'm not gonna sit here and ponder the what ifs the article author ponders. He is just a troll seeking eyeballs and a clue.
I can't believe you would just shit on the craftsmanship of Ferrari. Kids these days. Handle like a bar of soap? When/What model was the last one YOU drove Crockett.
You yawn when you see one? Who are you? Mika Hakkinen?
Go read your road and track and compare specs from the back you car nazi. There I have ended this conversation with my nazi reference. GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!
Oh well. Thanks for pointing out my lack of quality assurance. Can you tell I'm a software developer? I'd jump on a glory hole if it looked like a solution.
When the prices of HP crap are reduced by using Indian labor and the buying power of Indian labor is increased by working for HP, then you will start to see India and such places buy the crap that HP sells.
I doubt this will mean a reduction in price for any product. They price at market value and cut costs by outsourcing hoping to get a higher profit margin. This is what Carly means when she says "compete". Large companies are slaves to wallstreet where profit margins are watched by the hawks. When other large companies start to outsource and cut their bottom line while still pulling in the same profits their companies start to become more profitable for investors and hence more "competetive".
Who cares if the little man gets fucked, "it's all about me" in this ego/greed driven world. Meet the new boss same as the old boss.
And those all around you will scream "stop bitching" while your wage goes down but prices do not. Eventually it affects their lives and the tables turn. But one thing remains the same - the little man gets fucked.
Even funnier is they wouldn't even need that. Every email has the senders IP recorded in the headers, recorded by the recieving server. He could get around this by setting up an anonymous emailer on a server somewhere but in the end even that could be tracked down using very unsophisticated means that the FBI is certainly capable of (read: if you can sniff at the upstream ISP you basically have the keys to the city.)
But most likely they needed to "witness" the email being sent for legal reasons and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the sender is the suspect; headers could be forged by the accuser and they probably needed to verify the accusation for later prosecution. If they are smart that is. Any Joe can create or modify a text file and make a false accusation.

If living with it the rest of his life is such a punishment, then why doesn't he kill himself?
He has a choice, the kid he murdered doesn't.
Beats me how he can live with himself. I'm pretty sure he did time in jail also then as part of his probation he had to send these checks.
I'm sure that he will live with this for the rest of his life. Killing someone because you made a mistake has to weigh on your mind.

Either way this is a shame.

Now let me be clear though:
Some you cannot skip the previews period, no skip, no fast forward.
Some you can fast forward through, still annoying.
I don't have a list but it would be nice to know.

Ahh, here we go:NetBSD on xbox
xbox linux project
There are others too. Just do a search on google. But thats a good start. Not sure about NetBSD.
You can download waste
or
modwaste
Legalities? hmm, not my department. I only know about source code.
You know people in some countries would kill to be with 20 women. Literally.
Oh wait, that was raisins... never mind.
I drive an SUV also asshat. I wasn't kidding. And I also eat triple cheeseburgers. What are YOU going to do about it?
But good come back. I give you an E for effort. I liked the part about the candidates with questionable hygene.
I have no rage or anger. I just like to laugh at life.
So I can use my watch to pay for my SUV's gas AND buy a triple cheese burger without having to break a sweat by pulling out my wallet? Lovely.
