5-6 "Special" sugar cubes in their morning coffee. Mmmm LSD never tasted so good and the trip is a lot better when you are holding on to a loaded weapon. So are you talking to me?
just don't trying shooting TO CLOSE to them AFTER you have a couple beers in you, that doesn't sound like a good idea.
"BURP, hey hey give me that that there gunny gun thing. Look I only had a few, now stand still BURP I am going to shoot shoot that little ear ring of BURP yours off OK BURP READY?"

Thailand has now declared war on the news site known as SlasDot.org do to a recent DOS attack against it's country. General Tso explains "We have recently be under a DOS attack for an American site known as Slashdot, taking down the entire Thialand backbone. We have lost millions of dollars in E-commernce, not to menation the lose of comminactions and intellegences in over seas countries. This has to come to end an, as we all know all the good porn site as in US internet territy and with this attack on our country it is impossiable to receive this vital information"
An undisclosed source said that the Thailand goverment had 2000 "killer" attack robots setup and moving towards slashdot's central control room, known as "the geek compound"
(I know the geek compound has disbanned, but it is a lot cooler than saying "Rob's bedroom")
Why don't they just have a pcmcia card or pc card, sorry forgot what they are called, but those are the things used in notebook computers, you know those credit card sized [insert generic device] cards?
That way, when you order, you can choice to get a modem for an additional $25 bucks, an ethernet card for an additiional $25 bucks or without anything. This way in [insert remainig life span of ethernet] years when ethernet is dead, you can take your favorite off the shelf pc networking card (wireless ethernet:) ?? ham radio, satelite?) and cram it in that slot.
Still an ethernet would be better by default then a 56K modem, or better yet add ethernet and stick a serial port on the back so you can terminal you way in or use it on an analog device to dialog out or even a direct connection to the host computer via serial null modem type of thing.

Information doesn't harm people, people harm people. So cheesy, but so true.
I got to the internet, learn how to build a pipe bomb, I then stuff this pipe bomb into a cows large intestent. Farm goes to milk cow, pipe bomb explodes killing the farmer, the cow and the milk.
Now who is responsiable for this? ME? or the web site with the information posted?
Let's use your example here: People post dire rumors about your company on the Internet. Stock tanks, management panics, you get fired. Information just harmed you.
Who is responiable for this? The people that posted the information or the information it'
s self? Who can you sue in a court of law for disfacement of character, the people that posted the information, or the information it's self?
That information did not harm you, the people posting it where out to harm you.
Information does have a soul or mind, therefor it can't be good or evil. It doesn't have thought, it can't set out to malicly hurt you. People have souls, minds and thoughts. People can set out to malicly hurt you. Information can not.
Information doesn't have INTENT (how I spelled that right) to do anything. IT intents to sit on it's ass without thought or reasons. Man has intent, and this intent can be good or bad. Man can use this non-reasoning object and use it for good or bad. Man uses information like a hammer, some will use it to build great building, something will use it to bash anothers skull in and yet others will use it for masterbational purposes...

Oh you don't think it will happen? Phone numbers are easy to get compared to email address. In fact most, if not all cities organsize a list for free, avaiable to spammers of "live" phone numbers, it is called the phone book.

I didn't understand exactly how this works. Say Spammer Bob sends 100 spams to isp.com. isp.com contact Bob and tells him to quite. Bob says he will quite sending spam to there isp. Bob the next morning "forgets" about the agreement and sends 100 new spams to isp.com. isp.com takes them to court. Now does isp.com get $500 total or does it get $500 X 100 spams?
Also say customer Tim and isp.com both ask Spammer Bob to stop the spamming. The next day Bob sends more same to customer Tim and both the isp and the customer wants to sue Bob. Do both Tim and isp.com get $500 or does just one or the other get the money?
Can a customer sue without the interactive of the isp.com? Say Tim gets a spam, tells them to stop sending it and Tim still gets spam, can Tim sue even though he is only a customer at the isp?
Also on a side note, if you tell telemarkets to "put me on your do-not-call-list" and they call again, you can make a quick $500 bucks pre each call they make to you after you tell them to stop. I heard this from NBC news, but not sure if it is %100 true. The thing I wonder about this, is how hard is it to collect the $500 bucks? Does it take 4 years of meeting in a out of state court every day, or is it some type of "quick processing" case? What proof are you required to have to be able to sue em?
Just wondering, the boggles mind.

Yea spam works for the clueless. Per day there is always a "net newbie" some where. The first time of spam you got when you "jacked in" to this new weird "Internet super highway", you read it right? You thought "Who is this and why are they here" and though "hey this looks kinda shady..." or "hey this is kinda intersting". This is how it works. After you second day on the net you say "goddam quite sending me this stuff", but
there is always someone saying "How nice of them, I just signed up 2 minutes ago to my ISP and they are mailing me a way to make millions on the Internet, thank you buba_make_money_juice@hotmail.com, you are a kind soul"
After you say get 5 spams, you just stop reading them and you build an natural defense for spam where it no longer works.
and perhaps others here, I dare not say "we"), the geek(s), have to do real work to make a living.
yea sitting in an air conditioned office drink coffee and posting varies crap on slashdot though the day is considered "real work".
Come on, there is some contrustion guy out there says "dam geeks, just flash there brains all day, why aren't they out here in the sun sweating and doing real work like the rest of us"
Work is anything you can do and convince someone to pay you for it. Do we REALLY need all these techonogly? No we just convinced someone that we should get paid for doing something we loving (playing with computers).

how the hell did you pay for it? I have been thinking about this and I do make good money for the place I work (read low cost of living rates). Paying for 4 years out of pocket comes to about $60,000, which I don't make in a year. Where did you get all that cash?

Having to use W2K at work, which also denies direct access to DOS, I have to say that it is tons more stable now
Are you sure this is a direct result of getting rid of DOS in W2K or could it be other things they cleaned up?
The way I understood it (sorry not a Windows guru) is that DOS in WinNT was an "emulation" any ways, is that true?
