That might work would be to fine the owners of the websites that the SPAM links to for ordering. These are the people that pay the SPAMMERS. This would make them rethink their marketing stategy, and stop me from receiving the same thing from 12 or more "different" sources every day. Charge them $50.00 for each repeat on the same day. If 100,000 people complain, you are now talking serious money! The volume would be cut by two thirds minimum.
After the article a few days ago on AP that said a dangerous trend was showing up. Too many people, businesses, and municipalities are leaving MS for Linux and it's actually starting to show in the bottom line.
Now they react, it wasn't important till it hit the wallet!
for everyone that wants this. If it's in the hands of UbiSoft it might never get done. Look at the promised Harpoon 4, 3 years of vaporware later and no game.
There is a way. Open windows explorer and manually delete messenger. Then open Regedit and delete all references to messenger in the registry. Problem solved. Now if that just worked on outlook I could close another gaping security hole on friends computers. Never have had a problem with Linux on my machine.
The old NASA that Jack Schmidt is talking about was the young engineers that had a hand in every nut and bolt on the spacecraft. The helped the contractors design and test the entire spacecraft. The were involved in designing mission control. This wasn't Joe College, just out of school.
Don't forget, Jack is the only true civilian to walk on the moon. Armstrong was prior service(USAF). He is also smart and a nice guy, how many of those are left?
This is even less enforcable than the RIAA's crap. Woodworkers, (yes, I do some of that too) share everything, ideas, plans, tools....... If I loan a tool to a friend how could anyone find out? If I make a jig and give or sell it to someone, how could you show that iused their tool? This is idiocy in action.
Instead of trying to trace the SPAM. Pass a law that makes all commercial Email opt=in only. Then when the flow continues, fine the linked websites owner. Yes the company that is trying to sell something. The funding for the SPAMMERS will dry up fast at $1000.00 per Email in fines. The companies will be much more careful how they advertise, and bandwidth will return for something useful.
Ive had notification of patches from Red Hat in my email before I read about the need for it on Slashdot. Sameday service, something MS has never done on anything. How many bugs has Microsoft ignored? There are things in Win 95, 98, 2000, and even 3.11 that never got fixed, then corrupted the next release.
When they fix one problem and create three more, it's not worthit for most people to mess with it. The average user can't keep up with the endless stream.
don't knock MS, who else gets people to pay them to be beta testers?
" the one thing they do that I happen to agree with is the disclaimer of liability."
Guess what? Thats the one part that won't stand up in court. Every lawyer in the US will tell you to post liability waiver sign (ride this at your own risk) or have people sign a waiver. This intimidates the many from filing a lawsuit.
BUT.... Not one liability waiver has ever stood up in court. They are seen as a way of escaping penalty for doing bad work. Jury's ignore them, Judges smile, and they are not worth the paper they are printed on.
My God, is that an intelligent candidate emerging from the thundering herd of dumbass? A democrat with common sense, damn, what'll they think of next. I never thought I'd see the day.
10% liberal, 10% conservative, who represents those of us in the majority. Find as many moderates as possible and elect them to any office to buck the trend.
Yes we are, but you need help. The idea is to force a change in the business model. Then maybe the artists that actually have talent, (none in the top ten in most years) would get the money they deserve and prices would drop. Just the paper shufflers loose, who cares about the people that don't create anything, they just siphon money.
That must be why my Community College Instructors have had no email through the campus system in over a week. That kind of security is wonderful ain't it.
Slashdot Mirror
everyone remembers that Politicly Correct = morally and historicly bankrupt.
Califaggot land of the fruit and home of the flake.
Tracing the various SPAMMERS is a bit much for the FTC to do with the blind addresses and such. Killing the money tree does work.
And if that fails, castration by 12 ga. shotgun is always an alternative.

I think I could tolerate that!
To call for the rubber truck to haul this lunatic off to the laughing acadamy.
You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it sure helps.
I hate the thought of the DMCA being upheld for any reason, but this guy is a CRACKER not a hacker. He will have a large legal bill on this one.
Therefore he should be hung by the balls.

Taking on a group with deeper pockets and more political clout than IBM? That has to be the biggest brain fart in history.

I'm not going to buy Enterprise, It costs to much. I guess when I need to switch from RH 9, I'll go to SUSE or Mandrake.
Bailif whack his pee pee.

It might work.
Three cheers! Their crap is nothing but spyware. Any good safety tool like spybot or Ad-Aware identifies it as such.
They will shut my freedom of speech down when they shove a gun in my mouth.
Unless I grab mine first.
Did anyone expect M$ to abide by any agreement, ever?
Why would anyone think they are trustworthy?
History shows that the above is as likely as M$ releasing a product that works correctly on the first try. It ain't gonna happen!

He will start drawing again. Build up a lage fan base, again. Get bored and quit, again!
Just like the last 2 times.
Sad but true.

They are actually going to get it right this time?
or they need the time to get enough bugs in it to live down to there normal standards.
When you buy MS you are paying to be a beta tester.

1. Hire an electrician to completley rewire the building.
2. Slam the cover on the breaker box several times hard. After the fire, the insurance Co. can make sure the new building is up to code.
