This sounds similar to a previous/. story. Although the tests were apparently run with a variety of people in the musical arena, the tests weren't run blindly (apaprently the panel knew if they were listening to an mp3 or an oog file.)
The US has some anti-spam laws, and we dont enforce them, or dont allow the law to have any teeth.
Actually, we don't really have any laws regarding spam here in the US. spamlaws.com sums up the state of legislation in the US quite well in 3 words: "Enacted legislation: none". Most of the spam prosecution in the US falls under contract, fraud, or theft laws.
I jsut checked a server I run over at RIT... it's been hit by over 20 boxes in the past hour. *shiiite*. Serves us right... we have all this wonderful IT department, and they can't even teach their students how to secure a box.
Again, Windows 2K SHIPPED with that many bugs. The 100,000 count is the total number of bugs SUBMITTED. It's more like the difference between "There are 65,000 stories on Slashdot's frontpage", and "100,000 stories have been submitted to/., most have either been rejected, or posted on the page. There are a few in the submission bin." Windows 2K is like the first one, Mozilla is like the second one.
Good thing they at least don't sign their shorts or else we would be seeing only 32767.
If the DOJ ever gets their act together and gets this monopoly anti-trust back on track, I'm sure they'll be signing their shorts... in the sense that a dog marks its territory.
Defendant's argument is that the clause only applies to mails sent within the terms of the contract, which is a "targeted e-mail marketing" (not-spam). Defendant is arguing that the clause doesn't apply to unsolicited e-mail. (i.e. the e-mail addresses they plucked off of Network Solutions whois databases.)
I know what you're feeling. I'm moving into a new apartment very soon. I've been pricing various local service options. My local phone provider, Frontier, offers (up to) 3 Mb/s DSL service for $40/mo, but, they require that you have normal phone service from them. Since I already have a cell phone, I have no need to get their stinking phone service. Although I'd rather have the DSL line to myself, I'm going with cable and its shared (up to) 2 Mb/s for less money since I was going to get cable anyways.
Yes, and instead of suing each individual user of GIF, Unisys sued the people who make the programs that encode into GIF, much like how Fraunhoffer (sp?) Institute is screwing over comapnies who create products that encode/decode MP3. Your "payment" for this may be transparent to you, but you're still paying for it. MP3 is not exactly "free as in beer". Every time you buy something MP3 related, some of that money is going off to Fraunhofer's MP3 monopoly. Ogg Vorbis isn't susceptible to that.
we have had reports from administrators that have been probed by over 196 thousand unique hosts. This leads us to believe that this worm has infected at least 196 thousand computers
Now I feel sorry for Microsoft's PR department. Like the eeye security people, they're going to have to drink lots of Mountain Dew "Code Red" to stay awake and make the spins for the news.
Okay. I was deluded. I don't feel sorry for micro$oft. I'm downright laughing at them!
Did microsoft say something about potentially viral software somwhere? Ooops, this is a worm. NOt a virus. My bad.
Geez traffic looks rather light in New York today.
And if you RTFA, you would realize that it's not a total ban on cell phone use while driving in NYS... it's just a ban on handheld cell phone use while driving. Get a hands free kit or a single ear headset with a boom microphone, and *poof*, you're legal again.
What you really want to be right now is be the person selling hands free cell phone kits in New York:-)
And, I saw the funniest thing today... as I was in a car going down the interstate, I saw an SUV next to me, with a damaged front left end... in the driver's seat, a lady with a big ol' cast on her hand... and a cell phone held up to her ear... I wonder if those three things are somehow interrelated....

Because in the case of spam, the "advetiser" is making ME bear the costs of receiving THEIR spam.
If I get junk mail, I can leave it sitting in my mailbox until the wind blows it away and it doesn't really cost me anything. If I leave it sitting in my e-mail inbox, I might go over my mail quota and then I'll be losing the real mail that I PAID to get.
Let the company go buy billboard space, or an ad in the local paper, or go buy some raido or TV ads, but please leave my e-mail inbox out of it.
If I recall correctly, freelance contracts were changed back in the 80's to include electronic databases and such. This doesn't affect current news & events because it's already taken care of in contracts. This really only affects stories out of history The previous coverage of this case.
Affect on the past will be greater than the effect on the future.
You fell for one of the newest tricks in the spammer's books. They keep quoting a "bill that was passed by the 105th congress", well, it's just that.. a BILL, and not a law. It's just a piece of FUD designed to give some false legitimacy to their spams.
Spamlaws.com gives a nice 3 word statement of the status of enacted spam legislation: "Enacted legislation: None"
(ii) not using Potentially Viral Software (e.g. tools) to develop Recipient software which includes the Software
IIRC, Microsoft Outlook is one of the biggest viral programs in existance. One need only look at the "ILOVEYOU" virus to see just how viral Outlook really is. So, I suppose you can't use Microsoft Outlook as an e-mail client while developing for the Mobile Internet Toolkit.
No, it just means that it's 76% (or some percent correct.) If you refer back to the article, the author states that often, some large bulky code does something difficulty that some smaller piece of code could do elegantly. The EFFORT that goes in to making that smaller, more eloquent code is proportional to the effort of putting in a bloated piece of crap that is many times larger.
IIRC.

This sounds similar to a previous /. story. Although the tests were apparently run with a variety of people in the musical arena, the tests weren't run blindly (apaprently the panel knew if they were listening to an mp3 or an oog file.)
But, it's still worth a read, imho.
"Someone set us up ME!"
"So we upgraded to Windows 98"
Well, we have a website about it...

One thing not to do... post your gateway to /. and watch your systems get flooded.

They'll still have to get the software on my machine... and by then, we'll have our firewalls routing that feedback stuff to send back to /dev/null.

You ask:
Does Monster Hut send spam?!
I reply:
Beaverhome / MonsterHut / Neal Martin records from the Rosko database at spamhaus.org

Defendant is arguing that the clause doesn't apply to unsolicited e-mail. (i.e. the e-mail addresses they plucked off of Network Solutions whois databases.)
Or, have somebody who is NOT an ISP sponsor a big blacklist that all ISPs can contribute to and get the contents of if they so wish.
We have that. It's called spamhaus.org and the database of known spammers is called Rosko
has a cd burner and uses a computer as a hobbyist device who has not done something illegal with their cd burner within a week of owning it
And when you find that one person who didn't? They're guilty until proven innocent, right?

everyone should know this is just another disney promotion.
Well, of course it is. It was one of the top 3 stories on ABCNews.com today. And, as many people know, ABCNews is owned by the Disney corporation.
