I've been playing with these since they appeared on The Register a few days ago. I can't say I'm massively impressed. The slideshow is lovely eye candy, but, sadly, the top bit of each web page it shows is all too often just a banner ad and a navbar, which isn't always a lot of use. Froogle is US-centric, and no good for me, but it is the best name I've seen in a long time.
This kind of information is really crucial to get a grip on before Hammer arrives
Yeah, right. In exactly the same way its necessary to understand the principles of the cathode ray tube and sideband modulation before the new season of Buffy starts.
As the story goes, the first time Paul McCartney got high, he discovered something very deep and mystic. He wrote it down on a piece of paper and folded it up, entrusting it to Mal Evans, the Beatles' road manager. The next day Mal asked Paul if he wanted to see what was written on the paper. Paul said "yes". He opened it up. Scrawled across it was the phrase "there are seven levels".
Except, if you don't include fuller headers (Message-ID, and at least the top Received: line), no-one in an abuse dept is going to give you the time of day. You've gotta give enough evidence to prove it came from them, or they'll take no action (and rightly so, for the reasons you give).
Doing this regularly will show that even a perfectly fine running system will pollute an ext2 fs.
Bollocks. All you'll get on a live filesystem is a series of false positives as the filesystem changes behind fsck's back. You won't trash it, but your results won't be reliable...
-- In the UK, laws set out the limits to your rights, they do not enumerate them. In the US, we do have laws that explicitly state what we can do... like the Bill of Rights
Hmm...
"If we list a set of rights, some fools in the future are going to claim that people are entitled only to those rights enumerated and no others." -- Georgia delegate during the framing of the Bill Of Rights [1787]
I believe the newly formed state of Georgia just called you a fool...
Especially over the correct spelling of heterogenous/heterogeneous. (They're both fine, though the OED says the former is "less correct". Yours is wrong).
Dylan? we can do older than that. How about the Goon Show of the 1950s?
Bluebottle: What's the time Eccles? Eccles: Just a minute, I've got it written down on a piece of paper. A nice man wrote it down for me. If anyone asks me the time, I show it to them. Bluebottle: Let me see that paper. It is writted here that it is 8 o'clock. Here, what happens if they ask you and it's not 8 o'clock? Eccles: Then I don't show them the piece of paper!

You could try distributing Knoppix or one of the other Live-CD distros, to reduce the chance of Little Jo partitioning away mummy's accounting data.
Aww, thats just a rip off of the ending of Carrie...
OK. Here's funny. Paul McCartney has bought his wife a plane. She uses wax on the other leg.
You missed:
He's "mother"
Vader is Luke's father
Samuel L. Jackson caused all those accidents
He dies in the end. Judas betrays him.
No, no, no. Thats heroin and insane ex-girlfriends...
Cocaine and hookers, and plenty of both...
I defer to your superior knowledge, oh aptly named "McDaddy"
Actually, as far as UseNet is concerned, this is a solved problem. Killfiles, and lots of 'em.
That depends. Can you say "Do you want fries with that?"

Also : why don't these sweatshirts come in nicer colours...
Worse than that, I was recently beaten up by fans of an eclectic, lo-fi folk-rock musician when I was seen drinking Beck's lager.
And I still shudder of the day when I touched Prince's salmon
And I didn't even give credit to The West Wing, from where I shamelessly stole it.
