Something like 90% of the spam is for tools or lists to create MORE spam
Um, no it isn't. It's XXX teenage girls who blah blah blah, or get your blah enlarged 2 times!, or get a college degree from a blah blah blah.
Maybe 5% is 'spamming tools', the rest is stuff that I've basically been seeing for years.
Case in point:
Here are two email's caught in todays spam net:

How To Make $80,000 QUICKLY on the Net...with...
Same Sh*t different day.
Now instead of 1 little wheeled thing per mission we could have dozens of bouncing machines littering the planet
Yeah but beer cans aren't magnetic (Not anymore anyway). You could have those things hop within a sweeping electro magnet's range, and grab em all. I doubt being so small they transmit their findings back, they probably have to be picked up at some point..
You could throw out a dozen of these to search in all directions
Now that would be super-cool to witness. Mechanical 'grasshopper' search teams bouncing around your backyard.
I wonder if that 10 meter estimate is in the moons gravity or mars or earth or what...
Everything starts small. Maybe just habitual drug users, or the 'scum' of soceity...
IT's not about implanting them into an unwilling person, it's about diluting the truth enough or not doing enough social-economic research to actually 'know' the long term effects, or ignoring those facts, and distorting the ad campaign so people are willing, because they don't know the facts or are mislead.
Yeah why not. Then when you are supposed to 'punch in' for work, you can give it to your buddy and he can run it over the sensor for you.
Or if you are on the lam, hook it to someone's car bumper, and *poof* you're in Miami?
The whole thing is a bad idea. It's a way to introduce this potentially opressive technology into the mainstream. Sure if your'e having a heart attack, EMS can find you 30 seconds faster, or if you're lost in the woods, you can be found easier. But what if your'e sleeping with your bosses daughther, you don't want him to see your microchip touching her processors, do you?
Shutting it off manually doesn't make me feel better for a host of reasons.
1) As someone pointed out, they 'install' it for free, but the de-activate device is 2 grand..
2) If you can manually turn it off, someone else can manually turn it ON for you. Next thing you know your sex hungry dominatrixs' boyfriend suspects something and 'triggers' that thing (Either yours or hers) on. The barn isn't a safe place for you and your mistress anymore.
3) If it's surgically implanted how can you REALLY know for sure that thing is off? maybe it's only off for the $9.95 detection thingys, but the super duper high end low frequency detectors can at the very least tell that 'someone' within, say, a 1000 mile radius at least has one. Now it's just a matter of deduction.

I really hope there aren't anymore, and this is the LAST time I take a movie reccomendation from /.
class c{} //nine characters
is trivial.
Write a class and put it in a utils.*; package that lets you print like this
utils.Printer p = new Printer();
p.rint("print this");
Oh, that's not short enough? k...
p.p("Print this");
Oh, that's not short enough? Make the damn thing static so you don't have to instantiate the class.
Put it in java.lang, if you don't want to import it.
Be creative with that 133t "hello world" app.
What is that tagline?
But don't you 'Slam' into that air if your traveling at mach 1+?

Accept risk. Accept responsibility. Put a lawyer out of business.
I am so stealing that tagline.
What exactly is a 'radio telescope' anyway?
Well at least you won't have to *ask* your kids if they ate today, anymore.
Scuse the runon.
