The guy didn't steal anything, he didn't harm anyone. What, spam clutters your mailbox and prevents you from finding those really important emails full with PPTs with naked chicks? Oh, ok, them...
You're saying this doesn't hurt anyone? By sending out massive amounts of email, you are adversely affecting network throughput. This, in turn, may cost a business additional money to pay for a better service, costlier equipment, or to decide not to spend the extra money. Either of these choices may cause the business to experience a financial hardship, which then leads to the failure of that business. No harm?
What about the content of those emails? What if the content of one or more of those emails contains a link to a website with malware? An unknowning recipient thinks that the idea sounds good, clicks on the link, and then ends up with the results of that malware. They end up either paying someone to fix the problem, give up and toss the internet experience, go buy a new computer, or some other option that costs one way or another.
Thanks for the info. From that, I don't think Craig and company aren't going to spring for a lot of court costs. Also, from the privacy policy mentioned by someone earlier, item 5 seems to say that information could be disclosed if court/legal authorities make a request.
Here's the problem. Craig doesn't want a huge organization. He doesn't want ads. He just wants to live semi-comfortably and have a functional website so people can use it.
How is Craig supposed to send counsel to present his case if he doesn't have a large source of income.
Of course, I'd like to know how Craig actually profits from Craigslist. I've used Craigslist a couple of times, but haven't looked at the site enough to understand the site's business model.
Who has the owner's manual for the Earth anyway? We need to look under the section titled Tech Support Then we get the Green Squad, that's where Best Buy got Geek Squad, everyone knows that! They'll show up in a black and white UFO, work their voodoo, and then watch out for the bill.
If it were only this easy. Hey, someone use the Easy Button!!!!!!
Amazing!
At one point, it sounded like Apple Computer was trying to catch a ride name wise off of Apple Records. Now, they ARE Apple Records!!!!! (Sort of)
I seem to have experienced a brain fart. I do indeed live in the US, just a little east of NYC in fact, and I seem to have become disoriented when thinking where 668 would be in relation to 666. I'm not quite sure that I need to go through the multi-culti-thought-control-reprocessing though!
You seemed to have experienced a brain fart as well. (See below)
And may God^H^Hai have pity on your neurons!
Are slashdot'ers usually prone to brain farts on Fridays?:)
If 668 is the neighbor of the beast (must live across the road) what about 665 and 667?
Do you have something against odd numbers???
As a result of your omision, you are ordered by the department of psychiatry to attend weekly sessions with our corrections facility psychiatric staff.
You forgot to mention Heroic Heron, for those looking for something that will be secure, capable, and consistent without being too bloaty, or overly questioning!
I remember when I got my chemistry set. My parents probably thought it was a good idea to boost my interest in Science and keep me out of trouble! Well, they were right on the first count...
One day, while I was home alone, I decided to use my chemistry set. I went down to the basement, was smart enough to find a nice clear place on the floor, and added some alcohol to the the "burner". I then lit said burner, and was deciding what to mix, when I thought I saw something blue on the cement floor. Upon looking closer, I discovered there was a blue flame surrounding the glass bottle holding the alcohol for the "burner"!
Keeping in mind that my father was a volunteer fire-fighter, and had been the Captain of the Hook & Ladder Company some time around when this incident happened. Also, if I happened to do something really bad, my father was not against using a physical punishment.
Well, I knew I had to do something about the fire before it spread from the cement to something that had a better chance of burning all by itself, like the rest of the house! I found a bucket in the basement, ran some water from the water spout that was in the basement, and then went about containing the fire. I did this by surrounding the "burner" and the unexpectant flames with water on the floor. Luckily, it was out in short order, and no damage occurred.
I saved my father endless embarrassment from fire house ridicule, I saved a sharp pain in my butt, and I learned that alcohol on fire was not an easy thing to see!!!!
And, all this without me making a decision as to what to mix!!!
Another thing to use this type of memory for is when the system hibernates. When system wakes up again, it should be nice and quick. Wouldn't it be nice if someone could create a utility that would automatically put the system in hibernate mode when certain conditions are met? I'm sure the local Electric Company wouldn't be thrilled, unless they're fighting with brown outs/black outs, but maybe you could justify the cost with savings in your electric bill.
I would think this could help for those people who like to keep their computers multitasking! Swapping data in/out of memory would go a lot better if you send it to a faster medium, Si?
XP = Reliable sports car, great aftermarket support, uses regular gas
I'll give you great aftermarket support, if your talking about third party
I'll even give you uses regular gas, provided you concede that linux can use regular gas mixed with equal parts of water.
I have a little problem with Reliable sports car, maybe it should be more of reliable sporty sedan. Sports car seems to suggest performance that isn't there unless you use premium gas. (Extra memory, Larger Hard Drive, fairly new graphics card)

The radio is a single carbon nanotube, right?
It must be real difficult reading the display (or dial) to see what station you're tuned in to!!!! ;)

You forgot to convert from binary to decimal!
The answer is actually 32 , not to be confused with 42 (see Douglas Adams)
Now, now...
If you have something to say, just say it!!
Appealing, not unappealing, and "I can get it to do what I want to most of the time", instead of just appealing.

But of course this is all IMHO!
Shouldn't this posting say VISTA extends XP's life by 6 months?
;)
Yes
It's THAT easy!!!!
I thought the article said 33 inches long, 22 inches wide and 8 feet tall!
Man, I better get a new pair of glasses before I get into some serious trouble!!!
