If I changed my email address tomorrow (which I'm considering), I could implement auto-delete and never see them. Why? Because anyone emailing me is going to have to ask me for my email, thus getting on my contact list. Nobody is going to find me otherwise, and the system becomes perfect. If you happen to be in a position where you're email address is changing anyway, you're in a unique position to implement this with perfect results.
That of course assumes that None of your friends email and some other person. Or forward your messages on to some chail letter. It only takes one of these "friends" for your address to escape back into the wild.
I have been to this sale. It's quite an event. It wasn't at all what I first expected. Geeks take back the better part of a downtown block and sell all kinds of electronics in the middle of the night.
I expected it to be pretty shady and to not feel entirely safe. But people are encouraged to bring their own flashlights (to see what you are getting) and the police presence is obvious. I actually paid tax on one of my purchases there.
I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a deal.
Excellent suggestion.
Have a friend call a local TV station and
report the incident. Then have him suggest they interview you to discuss how common this is among people who use your competition. Who cares if you get the original client... the calls will come pouring in.
I agree... slow news day.
On the topic of Newsradio though...
(Beth enters with her hands bandaged)
Mr. James: What happened to your hands?
Beth: I think I have carpel tunnel syndrome.
Mr. James: Don't you get that from typing alot.
Beth: Yeah.
Mr. James: How'd you get it.
Beth: Beats me.
What good does wireless networking do on a plane?
I guess it would be nice when I have started to download something and they make me change seats.
I don't see that happening very often though.
It would be interesting to have my palm contact my luggage to see if it made it on the plane.:)
Because it's not true. The real advantages of Linux over Windows -- the command-line, the ability to look under the hood and the fact that every action and byte on your system is ultimately under your control - aren't things that can be explained to you. You'll have to play around a while before the light goes on.
I don't think the Linux community should reject
anyone who doesn't appreciate the advantage of a command line. There are numerous advantages the OS. People come to Linux for different reasons. And if you acknowledge it's something you have to play around with we should help out these users by providing them with this transitional information until they do "get it".
3) Stop expecting "doing x ni linux is like doing y in windows". I think you need to understand the underpinnings of Unix a
bit more. Windows NT dulls the mind of an IT person. Seriously, flame me away, but you are so shielded from what the
OS is doing that eventually you think the world is controlled through an applet.
That is a valid point but I think what the author was asking for was some help finding out what files/applets control the services on their linux box. A simple table would be a nice start. I haven't seen anything like that out there yet.
4) O'Rielly publishes tones of books, they're a hell of an investment since you will use them regularly, I have been using Linux as my main OS and at work (programming fibre optics simulations) for 4 years and I still refer to them.
I don't think anyone would argue the value of any books but this publisher. However, this is a fairly expensive venture for someone who won't be using them at work.
Progressive Taxation sounds great.... until the masses (with all the electoral votes and make less than you) decide that you should be on the heavily taxed. This is a slippery slope. Perhaps George Bush is doing the right thing.

Then I'm guessing for the rest of us becoming our own gsm provider is probably cost prohibitive.

"That's all you had to say"
That's a bunch of crap.
If you want a review tell me why it sucked don't give me a shot by shot account of the whole movie.
The fact that the movie wasn't historically accurate I think was all could have guessed from watching the trailer.
By the way I thought it sucked too (and I have a soft spot for Submarine movies.)
Call Paul Bunyan. Cause he's a lumberjack and he's okay!
I believe Babe his big blue ox did the hauling.
No you didn't, They left it out!
Put down your coffee and read what you have written!
Where is Dr. Evil when you really need him.
We will construct a 13000TW "laser beam".
I'm looking forward to hearing about the business that starts selling these.

Distributed wireless networks
If they were paying retail for any of the
software you might have a point.
I've heard stories about this. I don't think they'll ever implement it.
Who would want to be a pilot if you had to go work in an office?
I don't know about you but I want the guy flying my plane up there with me.
I'm glad someone else noticed this.
I busted out laughing when I saw I noticed the hidden meaning of this article.

That raises an interesting question. What if you video taped or even created an mpeg of an ebook. Is that a violation of the DMCA?
I think the WW2 veterans have a better case against the movie Pearl Harbor.

Writing your own debugger for your language is left as an exercise for the reader.
Alright, I'll admit it that's an excellent point.

It would be nice if some of the facts were checked before the editors went ahead and started posting these inaccuracies.
I'll bet it's just slightly better than the US postal services.
