Thousands of American cities and towns have never recovered from the mass exporting of jobs- autoworkers, fabric mills, shoes and garments, lumber and steel, etc etc. And now white-collar workers are getting it in the rear.
Yeah, this is like so good for the country. Christ, what kind of delusion does this guy live in? They better get those Chinese markets opened up, because Americans are going to be too poor to buy anything.
No, Dove didn't. A phone call means he needs to investigate. He did not investigate. He did not even check on the supposed victim, nor did the other thug, er, trooper, he didn't even talk to her. Hiidel was arrested for not showing ID. Well sorry bucko, that's not something you can be arrested for.
What Deputy Dawg and his gang of bullies did was prove once again why we need the Bill of Rights, and more police oversight. Those three morons escalated what should have been a legitimate investigation into a pointless, needless confrontation. Idiots like that should not be cops.
"The problem is that our approach to the solution has also been short-term thinking. We have to think long-term. We have to make the spammers pay more than we do."
My dear sir, the problem has been more than adequately defined a MEEEELYUN times at least. I was hoping for a solution, not another whiny 'spammers do it 'cause it's so cheap' rant. Like that's news.:P
Piffle. What's wrong with emotion? You would discount facts, because they are presented with emotion? That makes you look like the wrong person for your alleged job.
why? SCO needs to prove their case. They have offered zero proof. There is no cause for forcing IBM to release any code.

The Voice of Groklaw

· Score: 5, Interesting
Absolutely right. Groklaw is fantastic.
The part I get depressed over- Groklaw is unique because PJ does actual research and fact-based analysis. Sure, we expect ZDNet to print uninformed, baseless opinions, but all these other "real" news and financial media- Forbes, Washington Post, NY Times, etc etc, publish shallow, 'he said she said' garbage. 'This one says I didn't do it, the other says did to.' What crap. Why even bother? In the SCO deal, Forbes reached a new low with Daniel Lyons. There's a guy whose allergy to facts is epic. Read the actual court papers? Research the issues? Nahhh, that would be wrong.
What the hell does TellMe do?? It sounds like a typical geek-less dotcom to me-
"Tellme helps its clients improve customer satisfaction and save millions of dollars by replacing traditional IVR and network prompters with a unified Internet-powered solution."
Huh??
"Solutions running on the Tellme Voice Application Network help businesses leverage investments in existing Web infrastructure and call centers to deliver mission-critical voice solutions in record time with unmatched quality."
WTF??
Same old dotcom buzzword crap. No product here, just fork over the vulture capital. We'll take it straight to an IPO and we'll all be rich, rich I tell you.
They are proving they are nothing better than slimy criminals. Of course we knew that, but congresscritters are so sheltered from real life, it takes longer for them to get the message.
This is a pretty awful article. It's a seriously sucky world, when world-class trolls and flamebaiters post for free on Slashdot, and this Enderle guy gets paid for half-assed trolling.
I don't know where he got the idea that 'diversity is good' means every PC on your network is running a different operating system, and different applications. Wotta weenie.
Bruce Campbell appeared in a two-parter on Homicide: Life On The Streets that was absolutely riveting. He played a cop whose father was murdered. He played the part with a totally convincing, intense rage. Quite a different role than the King of Thieves on Xena.
He makes fun of himself, and his profession- but he's good. I'd rather watch him than, say, Harrison Ford or Clint Eastwood, who have turned into wooden, whispering mockeries of themselves. Or Brad Pitt, who might be a good actor, but I can't get past how much he looks like Curious George.
Stiffer penalties? I'd be happy to get damned law enforcement to even take computer crimes seriously. They don't care when your system is hosed by a DDoS attack, even when you track down the culprit and do all the investigative work for them. They don't care when your credit and good name are ruined by identity theft.
BTW, Mitnick is a cheap thug and a thief. Whoever made this loser a hero is getting good drugs, and not sharing.
SCO is not going to open up anything to examination, because it will show how much GPLd and BSD code they've appropriated and misused.
It's all a big bluff. I predict that the whole issue will mysteriously evaporate overnight. I'll bet money as soon as the legal proceedings get to a point that requires substantiating any of their claims, it will all go away. Just like their plan to invoice 1500 Linux users....
Oh for shitsakes, DNSSEC is rearing its head AGAIN? Talk about vaporware- DNSSEC is the ultimate. Anyway, anything that involves VeriSign will suck so bad even people who don't use computers will curse it. It doesn't take much imagination to envision the nightmare of bureaucracy a centrally-managed DNS authentication system will create. Who authenticates the users in the first place, at registration? Who makes VeriSign do the job competently and honestly? (OK, sorry, I know it's completely ridiculous.)
The best first step to securing DNS is to eliminate all traces of BIND. Start with something that is fast, secure, and works right- like djbdns. Start with something that is not a bloated, buggy, insecure mess. Then look at how to authenticate DNS. Start with garbage, you still get garbage.
Microsoft is trying very hard to crush Linux. But they can't, hahahaha and neener neener. Anyway SCO is stupid and everyone wants them to be crushed. They started it, too bad they started a war they cannot win.
Since when does having an email account = "You're ALREADY willing to pay to receive unsolicited mail, or you wouldn't be getting spam!" That's like saying since you've already been robbed, you must have consented to it.

Which colors your outlook, I think.

christ, none of you retards read anything, do you. She's 17 and seeing her dad arrested- rather upsetting, I think.

Bless you for spelling 'rogue' correctly. Unless all those 'rouge' companies out there really do have nice red cheeks.

"Lots of mail you get is from people on your contact list. So what's the problem? Strangers!"
Sounds like Mr Rogers.
"Filters could do a lot to sort spam from real mail, Mr Gates said: "Does the e-mail say it's about 'enlargement' - that might be spam."
Hello, did Mr Gates just come out of the cryofreeze? He's just now learning about spam filters?
"Microsoft is pursuing all three approaches, and spam will soon be a thing of the past," Mr Gates asserted."
Yeah. Ahuh. You bet, Mr Innovator.

Natalie Portman! Hot grits! Karma whore!
Are you claiming that you actually work for Best Buy? ROTFL! You poor fool, you have my deepest sympathies.
Never, in the history of the company, has Best Buy had an advertised sale item on the shelf. So it's a moot issue anyway.
Friends don't let friends shop there, they are a terrible store.

Not posting useful, factual information is a good thing? Hey, thanks! Next we can close the whole Internet, then get to work on those pesky libraries.

Of course they will plead bankruptcy etc. (the sad violins play)
