Whenever I send or receive a URL in the first email exchanged, I wind up checking the spam folder in webmail (Yahoo, Gmail) because that's where it winds up half the time. After having it transferred to the Inbox, there's rarely another issue of getting any mail from them. Meantime, we've all had outright spams get through the filters, server-side or client-side, because the author tried hard to make it seem more like a human sent something you wanted to see. But I do wonder how a spam reply from Craigslist can wind up in the spam folder while a legitimate reply can make it to me, seeing they both have the same subject line, a legit-looking email address (some of the time), and part of the body content.
Opt-in direct mailing shouldn't be affected by spam filters because despite being sent in bulk no one receiving it is complaining, and you'd think cloying titles like "Are we breaking up?" would trip filter triggers (or at least human brain triggers) quicker than "Weekly Report for 10/21/13".
Funny how Google is trying to come up with ways around the Great Firewall of China when, contrary to their 'do no evil', awhile ago was tailoring their search engine for China to accomidate their government rather than defeat the Firewall. I'm sure you can find at least one/. article about this in the archives...
I never knew anybody who drove to Vancouver to buy gas.
True, the excise taxes are different between the two states. But I picture folks from Vancouver (I have two brothers there) coming to Oregon to buy gas just so they don't have to get out and pump it themselves.:-D
Just like how there are men who say they're awesome in bed but finish and fall asleep in five minutes, or there are plenty of bearded men who call themselves pretty princesses, just because you say you're a hacker doesn't mean you really are.
I called myself a hacker in the mid-1980s when I was on an Apple//e with no modem, simply because I could use a sector editor and had friends with copied software. Had nothing to do with bad intentions or cyber-prowess, pretty much interchangeable with "computer geek" and doesn't mean more than "I am slightly above the local median in comprehension."
There have been products that have liquid crystal foil labels that change color or have a rising bar to show temperature, similar to aquariums that have a stick-on temperature strip in a corner. I believe that beer with a can that tells you when it's Rocky Mountain cold uses that sort of technology but I don't know for sure.
Crime shows like "CSI" and "NCIS" and even that show about the operations of a casino "Las Vegas", which have direct access to everything without the need for a court order or others' say-so, will be a reality!
She's young and driven to do great things, so while giving her a Nobel Prize isn't premature -- oh, she's not done writing this legacy, there's more to come. If she continues doing as she plans, to become a leader in Pakistan when she's older and being an activist for the education of females in the meantime, she'll get another consideration.
Here's betting that it will take much longer to get the anti-PATRIOT passed than the eyeblink it took to get the PATRIOT passed. I wonder what the opposite of a 9/11 is to get government to act so swiftly?
Mundie also thinks it should be a felony to misuse that data. He thinks larger penalties would help deter shady organizations from harvesting data the user isn't even aware of.
Curious how the data collectors and abusers that we're so concerned about lately are parts of the government, thus mostly immune to their nefarious work being controlled or prosecuted. As the saying goes, "it's okay if I do it but not if YOU do it."

the Oregonians who drive into Washington so they don't pay either WA sales tax or OR state taxes. :)

...Bill Gates lives in Medina. Do the math.
And so should some other people.
Afterall, it's cable subscribers that are recording the shows that get put on the torrent sites. Call it getting a ROI.

The OFF-TOPIC / FLAMEBAIT moderators took this case, it's their jurisdiction.
As though there aren't a lot of people with mental health concerns playing videogames all day...
Must not be Pac-Man or Space Invaders they're playing if they're trying to fix an attention deficit.

And when the staff opened the top, a 4'5" Asian man jumped out and said "Supplies!!"
That's one way to fight corruption -- by quieting those who point it out.
