So you shut down a spammer's porn site. They move it to a new host (outside the UK), and continue to spam. If they can kill or gain control of the domain name along with shutting down the site, perhaps this could work.
I hope it does.
I hope they punish more than just email spam, too. Usenet, IRC, and instant messengers need help, too.

Jabba didn't look so bad in stills. It was the way the skin moved which ruined the effect. That and the jarring compositing.
The only special edition which was an improvement was Empire.
Other additions in this version:
More Ewoks: An ewok shoots Darth Vader's tie fighter at the end of A New Hope, gives a thumbs-up.
Ewoks kill the wompa in the cave with spears and rocks and a stolen imperial walker, then dance around Luke singing "Yubba Nubba Cubba Chubba."
The Emperor's guard are replaced by ewoks in red capes.
The yellow tint issue would have to be definitively solved before this stuff could be used on vehicles, due to some states not allowing certain colors of window tinting (red and yellow, probably reasoning that that would lower the visibility of emergency vehicles and caution lights).
I think it would take a terrorist attack to get people's interest back up and to get the damn networks actually interested in showing live coverage rather than recordings of the most popular events, and taped highlights of a half dozen others.
Heh. That isn't far from the truth with some supercars.
Regardless, I realize that to get started that's the case, but ultimately in any SUCCESSFUL business it will come down to customers. It's just that the parent poster's phrasing sounded like something that might have come out of the bubble.
"As the founder of a software company...Investors are where the paychecks come from."
Is this company still in business? I mean, I thought CUSTOMERS were where the paychecks were supposed to ultimately come from...or are there still some lessons of the internet bubble that haven't sunk in?
I don't drive below the speed limit in the left lane. I get tailgated by a-holes who are driving WAAAAY above the speed limit. (If 75-80 isn't fast enough for you, go to a fucking race track)
Don't assume. You know what happens when you assume.
It's also about how long a heavily-used HD can be expected to live, from all I've read and experienced. Unless seagate has some sort of trick up their sleeves, this could kill them.
If you're going to suggest that video games are not art, or not great art, because they have shallow plots, you can say the same thing about music.
Video games are primarily that. Visual. They are about aesthetics, visual and auditory. (And tactile, sort of...which makes them an art with only a few that have so broad a focus. I'm thinking of food, sex, and automobiles.) A plot is just gravy.
"Which is why Disney fights for extensions every time Mickey Mouse is in danger of hitting the public domain."
If Steamboat Willie became public domain, later incarnations of Mickey Mouse would still be copyrighted for decades. AND they could still have him as a trademark. (So you'd see people selling old mickey mouse cartoons in plain black and white packaging, reading "Famous Mouse Cartoons"?)
It's not like they'd all of a sudden lose control. Disney are a bunch of fucking pussies.
What we NEED isn't spam protection. What we NEED is public executions of a few spammers. Or barring that, some psycho vigilante, a Spam-Punisher or something, to fucking GUT a spammer and leave a statement written in the fucker's blood as to who they were and why they were executed.
Spammers need to be turned into (real) Spam.
That's the only thing that will stem this. You're not going to get them to pay to send mail. You're not going to get them to obey some toothless ban with no testicles.
The only solution is to make the risks too high. And that is to hunt them down across borders and fucking eviscerate them.
If I can get some funding and immunity to do this with impunity, I will volunteer.
I don't recall the Trident chipset I had, it was 2 megs, though, with video out. Really not at all bad. It never gave me any trouble. (Though the time I had a monitor start smoking it was hooked up to it...coincidence, I think...)
Exceptions to rules in English are usually dependent upon the origin of the word. For example: a Brazilian friend of mine and I were talking about English grammar one day and we figured out that English really doesn't have many irregular verbs. It has verbs which are probably of Latin origin (the ones that are roughly the same in English and Portuguese), and those which are of presumably germanic origin (the ones which aren't the same as Portuguese), and the latin verbs are conjugated one way, the germanic ones another.
I don't recall any other examples offhand, but seriously, to really understand English, you have to study at least one other European language.
Knowledge of this fact will be of absolutely no use to native speakers of non-indo-european languages. (If you tell them about it, be sure to rub their noses in it)
It becomes something to hold against someone when they start using that success to prevent others from succeeding. (As opposed to using the skills and effort that led to their original success to prevent others from succeeding.)
It was interesting at my school. We played on both sides of this 10 foot high wall. You could run around both ends. If you wanted to put someone out, you had to work for it.
Still, yeah, hadn't thought of that. That's probably a better idea. (Imagine if you got a team being really ambitious when it comes to speed, ramming into the ISS when they hit the top of their cable.:P)
I got one because my dad has an identical (year, mileage, options, paint code) one which seemed like a good car. It is, but my previous car was a sports car, and before that I had a 1984 corolla (2000 ish pounds)... the T bird has enough power, and the mileage isn't THAT bad, but it's just too damned heavy. Not enough that I'll dump the thing, but enough that my next car will be under 3000 pounds (and preferably RWD), I want some relief.
I get bad city mileage because I'm a lead-foot. I like to break the rear wheels loose.

Unless you live in a major city, chances are local music mostly sucks, and what doesn't won't be a style you enjoy.

The less people will care in the future.

That I have a mouse wheel.
Who actually uses realaudio, other than sites like Amazon? I mean, is there ANYONE who keeps realaudio files on their personal machine, for example?
Real ceased to be relevant about 7 years ago. Bleh.

I think not being an environmentalist helps one in accumulating enough money to purchase large amounts of tropical hardwoods.
Therefore the rain forests are doomed.
Don't fall into his trap.
