  3. you can still get a tase of what usenet was like.. on Usenet Co-founder Jim Ellis Dies · · Score: 4

    Most CS schools (at least mine) has their own newsgroups.. many the the groups are oriented for each specific class, but if you go outside those, you can often find cool niche communities using usenet at your school. Our school has an opensource club, and a very active opensource newsgroup.. a good tech politics newsgroup.. general discussion.. etc. Using these groups, you see familiar names, familiar personalities.. it really gives you a taste of what usenet was like in the pre-web / pre-spam days.

    "It is NOT their legal right to send me unsolicited links to pornography and a graphic description of exactly what I'll find via said link, which I get on a daily basis. They have no idea whether I'm an adult or not. "

    But what THEY DO KNOW is that you visit adult sites, therefor they believe it is ok to send you that kind of email. My neice (11 years old) surfs the net everyday, and gets no pornographic spam. Is her mail being filtered? No, she uses the same ISP as I do. The difference is, she doesn't look at pr0n. There are databases out there linking your personal information to cookies about where you go.. this is sold to the spammers.. period. You don't have to give your email address to a porn site to get porn email.. you just have to give it to a doubleclick friendly site and then go cruise some porn sites.. then the email starts rolling in.

    So.. you want to end spam coming to you that says "young teen sluts waiting to suck you dry", then stop going to sites that show "young teen sluts", and they'll stop emailing you asking you to stop back in.

    Have you ever had experience with filtering software? Any filtering software worth 2 cents looks for that kind of shit.. purposeful misspellings, replacements like 0s for Os, 1s for ls. I think Google is smart enough to make a filter like this. So no.. "britney spears suk1ng c0ck" isn't going to get through. Beyotch.

  24. Biggest waste of money on No X Box for Xmas? · · Score: 2

    There is no good reason to buy a PS2. For one, the graphics so far suck. My dreamcast has better looking games. The antialiasing on the PS2 is pathetic. I was fortunate enough to see a demo of Metal Gear Solid on the XBox and it blew the PS2 version away.. the difference was incredible.

    PS2 has the slowest freakin load times.. usually compensated in the games by long long lame ass teaser screens.

    XBox will have a hard drive.. meaning I don't have to fork out another $30 just to save my games.. also the hard drive will be great for lowering load times.

    The only thing Sony did right was build up a bunch of hype over the biggest dissapointment system of the year. I love my dreamcast and urge anyone with $300 to burn to buy a dreamcast, a couple controllers and a handfull of games for the same price you would pay for a PS2.
