Put them on any pr0n list you can find (c'mon, slashdotters, i know you can find some:-)
With 50-90% of the world's mails being spam, and the geeks of the world united in gathering humongous pr0n ressources for a good cause, I'm pretty sure that pretty soon their Teraflop-machines will be overwhelmed filtering out all non-v14gr4 mails in the first place:-)
(If you want to be really evil, teach spammers how to encrypt mails...;-p )
he link was between territoriality (and presumably and implicitly, aggression). Agree on that.
It's a typical slashdot knee-jerk nitwit response to conflate behaviour X and IQ. Actions may be moderated by intelligence, but the motivations that give rise to them are often innate and impossible to change. ... however, don't totally agree on that one.
Your statement implies that the mere role of intelligence is to moderate natural (animal?) impulses we have. While intelligence certainly has the ability to moderate (or better: modulate) natural impulses, I'd rather think that intelligence is actually more potent than that.
I think intelligence is actually able to _create_ motivation aswell. Or, in other words, people are able to take action on basis of purely _rational_ thoughts (and then further modulate those thoughts by more or less fortunate amounts intelligence).
That's what separates us from animals all along: the ability to _will_ our actions, however intelligent or stupid that will would be.
What about linking road rage to the proximity of one's i.q. to that of a strawberry?
Now the question would be: where's the link between stupidity and car stickers. Maybe there's no stupidity involved in putting one sticker on your car. But what about putting 10 stickers on your vehicle?... I dunno. Oppinions on this one?
I don't quite agree.
We can't say this anymore because now it involves religious fanaticism. As evil as the Soviet Union was, at least they valued life more than their dogma. We cannot say the same about the Iran Red Button. They may see it as the Instant-71-Virgin Button. Yes, that's what they say, but I doubt that. You know, there's the religious fanatics on the one hand -- susceptible to all kinds of suggestions regarding 70+ virgins, Allah etc.
And then there's those hungry for power, instrumentalizing bad knowledge, poor education and fanatism of the masses for their purposes. They're hungry for power for a reason... we may not know the reason, but bigger chances are that that reason is rather bound to this world rather than to the next:-)
And it's those who have the power who get to push the button... So, basically, I think parent's right.
Turn off your voice mail, have them send you an e-mail for off-line messages. The "spit" there is called "spam" and it's something we more or less know how to deal with:-) besides, it takes a blink of an eye for (most of) us to identify a text mail as spam, but it's going to take longer to identify a voice message as nonsense...

What happened, pissed off because alt.sex.fetish.piss-on-your-customers is already claimed by T-Com?...
I doubt you can.
