Ahh... well, I should probably add that Spamhaus also supplies the Spamhaus Block List"... very similar to the RBL (just not in legal troule, yet.) Not to mention their list of "kills.
Actually, we do have something very similar (sans fines), it's called Spamhaus. It collects evidence of spamming by companies, finds those companies that own those netblocks, and lists the top spam-friendly hosts in the ISP business.
Sitting at the top of the list is media3, which hosts 5 known spammers has known about them for at least 2,163 operational days (operational days for all 5 spam sources), and acts covertly to support them. Their "score" is thus listed as 5*2163*4 = 42,720, nearly 8 times more than the closest spammers. If you want your spam to decrease significantly, you gotta take out those spammers at the top right at their source.
Reminds me of what Empire Sports does with Buffalo Sabres boradcasts. The live showing has all the glitz and the commercials. A later broadcast of the game (Usually at midnight, though sometimes the next day for those 9:00 and 10:00 starts on the west coast) cuts out the between-period commentary and interviews and such, and cuts in-game commercials to:30 to 1:00. The resulting broadcast is much much shorter, making it ideal for people to tape.
(Of course, this only works because Adelphia Cable owns the Sabres, the cable network, and the Empire Sports tv station. They don't have to pay loads of extra fees the way other stations would have to.
All in all, I don't worry too much about missing a hockey game live because it's broadcast again that night and it's not *too* long so I'm up *too* late watching it.
They note that the Linux "how to" manual is 230 pages while the corresponding Apple document is a 1 page PDF file.
Meanwhile, documenters have been developing a "What to do with a linux beowulf cluster" list. That document has grown to 230 pages. The corresponding mac list has come up with one idea (And it fits on a 1 page PDF file): "Create a system that allows us to use Photoshop to edit super-high resolution pictures of Natalie Portman eating hot grits."
I wouldn't be so sure about that either. I would gladly pay for good, accessible products, that doesn't infringe on my privacy, take away my fair use rights, doesn't try to abuse my trust in any way, and make available a convientent method for making payments.
I did too... so I paid for it, and I got screwed. Lucky for me, I got screwed out of only $10 and the time I invested setting up my photo album and captions and stuff. Lots of people were using it to host images for ebay, and paid a lot more money for a lot of extra storage. They lost a lot more than I did.
Make the "FREE" and "BEER" in a really big size, and the "as in" in a really small size.
Oh, don't forget to put your name on the poster somewhere too. In big letters. Probably as big as the letters you make "FREE BEER".
Seriously though, I would check with the town clerk or historian and see how much they have been spending on software over the past few years. Draw up a budget plan and present it to the people showing the disparate prices between the software, and the re-training/OSS costs.
RIT has a mildly nice system... here. Basically, you can look people up on campus by e-mail address. Individual users can change their own listing. I know little about the actual implementation though.
Mozilla has a new advanced preference panel for fine-grained JavaScript control. For instance, you can disallow pop up and pop-under windows without turning off JavaScript altogether.
I'd still like to have site-by-site preferences wihtout having to edit the prefs.js file, but, what can you do? (i know... i know... write the damn code yourself...)

Journalism n.
The occupation of gathering, writing, editing, and publishing or broadcasting news
newspapers and magazines; the press
a course of study for a career in journalism
Material written for a newspaper or a magazine
Writing marked by a popular slant
More often than not (IMHO) journalists tend to be those people who write the stories that piss off large corporations. Hence, the court was reiterating that the protections of the first amendment extended to the journalist, regardless of the medium of publication.
Yes, I agree, there are people who have had their rights violated, lest we forget about Dmitry Sklyarov, but that is not the point of the case.
Or maybe I'm just overreacting to a poignant question.
just what we need.. half of the army running around screaming 'w00t'

After reading a bit about RMS' pre-FSF years, about his graduation with honors from Harvard (Physics, I believe) while pulling all-nighters at MIT AI, about EMACS, about the LISP contests with Greenblatt... I am convinced that RMS was born for hacking.
Yes, but has anone been able to port EMACS (or vi even) over to RMS_OS? How are we going to get script kiddies to hack it, if we can't even get a script written for the OS?
But I understand that any time I receive any piece of unsolicited email it is because *I* supplied my email address to the spammer - either directly or indirectly.
File this one under "P" for "Parody"
I know... it's such a pity. Every time I walk out into the street, I am in the sights of a sniper rifle. I wish that when I walked into the street I wouldn't have to wear a bullet proof vest and face shield, but that's the sad reality of living in this crazy world today. I'm just glad that my company was smart enough to put up thick concrete walls wigh don't allow most bullets to pass through them between me and my parking lot.
But that's the exact problem. The cost of sending the mail isn't carried by the recipients, it's paid for by the sender. In the case of e-mail, the costs are paid in the largest part by the recipient, and the recipients' ISP.

Make your campaign slogan "Free as in Beer"
Then make posters like this:
FREE
as in
BEER
Make the "FREE" and "BEER" in a really big size, and the "as in" in a really small size.
Oh, don't forget to put your name on the poster somewhere too. In big letters. Probably as big as the letters you make "FREE BEER".

What, pratel, is the anti-spam legislation that has been passed in the US?
Spamlaws.com still susscintly leaves the state of current federal spam legislation at 3 words: Enacted legislation: None
I think you pointed out another of Civ III's flaws: Incomplete documentation.
Things that would have been nice to have in ahrdcopy:
Unit list, resources needed, cost (shields)
City improvement list, resources needed
umm... more complete details of commands.
Who knew that the star with stuff in it, or the pentagon-shaped CIA were really things you could (and should) click on.)
A better manual sure would have been helpful.
But that's just my $0.02

You're comparing apples and oranges.
Actually, according to the article, this is already legitimate. The article cites US Code, Title 18, Section 1030
The real news in this is that the USA Anti-Terrorism bill includes language to prevent this, whereas RIAA is trying to open this loophole back up.
