I never signed up because I'm on Missouri's do not call list and I didn't see the advantages of the national one as long as the state one existed.
In fact, I saw it as an opportunity for out of state charities to get my number. "No I don't want to sponsor the Rhode Island state troopers, now leave me alone!"
I realize some states don't have a list, but Missouri's list has been nearly 100% effective. What advantages would there be for me to sign up on the national one?
I haven't signed up yet because the Missouri list is working and it's one less list my number is on for charities, etc.
The thing I don't like about the idea you listed above is that it takes out some of the ease of emailing. If I want to send someone something I want to send it right then before I forget. If I have to wait for permission things will never get done.
I kind of like the idea of the sender storing email on their server. Then ISPs could easily control spam by using smaller quotas for outboxes.
Then the mail sits there until the recipient accepts mail from the sender.
Also, there are a few valid reasons to spoof domains from time to time so that's a no go either.
I'd think all the major ISPs (AOL, MSN, Earthlink, Charter, etc.) could setup proxies and just filter all email traffic. I mean, isn't that the only realistic way to stop the madness?
I mean I guess it would cost them a lot of manhours and resources to do such a task, but it seems like it is the responsible thing to do.
As long as it's not abused of course. Strictly filter out viruses.
One thing I've noticed that SuSE seems to do better than any other distro is hardware detection (and initial setup for that matter.)
With debian, I've got a k6-2 450 box I was trying to setup and kept getting EIP errors when I tried using their 2.4 kernel that's on the downloadable ISO.
And then I'm not sure how to setup my network card because SuSE always did it for me and made me lazy.
How is Gentoo compared to Debian for initial setup and hardware detection?
Your points were very useful, I think they've helped me decide to go with debian, but if Gentoo has better initial support in autodetecting things and holding my hand during the initial setup. (Automatically configuring my partitions, realizing I have a USB mouse, seeing my network card) I might go that route.
What's the gentoo equivalent for apt-get update; apt-get upgrade? Hmmm... Maybe it's time I go read their site.
I did look at their site and try to download an ISO but they had it in tar.bz2 format and nothing I have for windows will extract it. Maybe I downloaded the wrong thing.
Can anyone list pros of debian vs gentoo

This isn't meant as flamebait, can anyone list an objective list of pros and cons between debian and gentoo? So far debian seems to be the powerhouse but the more I read of gentoo and the more people I talk to that use it, it seems like a better way to do linux.
Windows ran a cygwin session in which I started an SSH connection to a debian server and exported the display to my win/cygwin machine and then ran KDE3 and cygwin off debian. It was on a K6-2 350 MHz debian machine and unexplainably fast.
This was surprisingly usable until I broke something... hehe Now I can't seem to export the display properly.
After reading the other guys post, it doesn't sound like a direct port to Windows would be practical or even feasable.
It almost sounds like GnuCash needs to be "ported" to linux first using some friendlier programming techniques.
For some ISPs it's no big deal to slam the spammers they host, but for any ISP that unknowingly or unwillingly gives access to a spammer. They should have enough time to shut them down before having their network destroyed.
I would put money into a cause that went after spammers that attack me in hopes of enforcing state laws and potentially winning a lawsuit against them.

If you're in it for the money you'll do better hourly.
If you just need $x amount of money to keep going and you're happy with that you can bid by the project and do fine.
Maybe someone should port it to linux and send the ported code to Valve to prove it can be done.
I drool at the idea of filling my roof with solar panels for a fraction of the current cost.
It seems like if you want 3D you should play a game. If you want text, you should hop on a mud.
As I read it, it reminded me of when people are being sarcasticly speaking of processors.
"Yah, it's going to have a 4000 MHz front side bus and run between 30 and 40 GHz."
I'm tired of getting junk faxes at 2-4am on my home phone number that there is no fax machine attached to.

The police/government would have to leave a paper trail and spend real money.
It will probably never happen.
How long before the phone companies start redirecting your misdialed calls to Bell advertisements?
I'd like to be able to upgrade the video processor, the CPU and the memory. Everything else I can upgrade through usb/firewire.
I've been looking for this sort of adapter for a while. Any ideas where I can pick one up?
That's a dumb proposal.
How long before playing your gameboy becomes an act of terrorism?

SCO isn't a company. Debian and Gentoo aren't companies. Is Mandrake? Is there any other companies out there rolling their own distro?

I had this sort of thing setup for a while...

I know no one wants to hear it, but I personally think this app is dying to be ported. I mean apache and mysql are and they're both huge successes.
Would this be the first open source windows accounting package?
