I can't tell you how much we hate spews, this is far from a common occurrence and it seems that the only to fight this is to not use spews.
The fact that people are using SPEWS means that they want SPEWS. People who don't want SPEWS don't use SPEWS. Next thing we'll be banning movie reviews, since they interfere with the movie industry...
[SPEWS] list it on a list that is used to determine which servers to block, for the sole purpose of causing said servers to be blocked.
Since their actions have the aim and result of blocking servers, I think your argument that they're not is somewhat lacking.
You're missing the point. SPEWS doesn't have some orbiting mind-control laser that makes people do their bidding. People who use SPEWS have no excuse for not knowing what they are getting themselves into. If you don't want them to use SPEWS, allow me to suggest that you go mind your own damn business.
SPEWS intentionally blocks legitimate e-mail for the purpose of...
You don't have to go any farther. SPEWS doesn't block anything, much the same as Consumer Reports doesn't stop people from buying whatever blender or car tires they want.
SPEWS doesn't misrepresent what it does; if I use SPEWS, and you get listed there, then I don't want email from you. If I really do want email from you, then I'm a moron for using SPEWS without some form of whitelisting. It's as simple as that.
It was on November 12th, 1906 that Santos Dumont's airplane, the 14-BIS, flew a distance of 220 meters at the height of 6 meters and at the speed of 37,358 km/h.

If "rm core *" can irrevocably destroy your project, you're doing it wrong. You need to get a clue and install a code management system (e.g. CVS) immediately.
Oh, and use Makefiles. Biffing a 'make clean' is less hazardous than biffing a 'rm foo*'.
I'm not going to endorse the substitution of 'r' and 'u' for 'are' and 'you', but simply make a point of the roll such things play in the evolution of a language.
Great, American linguists don't know the difference between a "roll" and a "role".;-)
I work in Eagan, a suburb of St. Paul, just across the river from airport MSP. After getting used to hearing planes go overhead every 10 minutes, today's silence was... creepy. That airplane noise is never going to be quite the same.

OMG, I get it. Humanity only exists to make the earth tastier for Galactus. We are cosmic vegemite!

No, it's not dead. It's resting.
Using the 'random' digits in pi to calculate pi ... ain't math great? :-)
