Duff beer? And of course, everybody can see the likeness between Steve Ballmer (http://www.fuckedcompany.com/images/dancemonkeybo y.mpeg) and Duffman!!

So... all M$ would have to do would be to distribute free copies of their software to the Brazilian government in order to solve this, correct?
No, incorrect: the title in the original Portuguese was Governo federal da mais um passo rumo ao software livre, and the word "livre" means "free as in speech", not "free as in beer".
Damn, I wish that English had adjectives to distinguish between these two, such as livre/gratuito in Portuguese. It reallus supprises me, especially given the richness of the language in general...
Well, technically, you're right; I believe that there were some very minor changes; especially to the last couple of episodes which were recorded and mixed in a terrible hurry. But they are substantially as broadcast, and certainly what the original producers intended.
The major difference is that Fit the Sixth (episode 6 of the first series) lacked virtually all of its episode-specific sound effects.
This might be considered interesting, but I think it is really just a troll.
However, one interesting point that trollboy makes, is that the 1-800 numbers end up in the spam, and we don't see them: why not modify the filter so it automagically pulls out all such numbers from the spam, so that they can be easily on hand for those people who want to set up autodialers? In a way this is poetic justice, being analogous to the way the scumbag spammers harvest email addresses from web pages. So yet again, the classification allows an easy way to harvest spam 1-800 numbers from genuine ones.
Thanks for the suggestion, spammer or troll, whatever you are!!
PS Googled for the 1-800 number the idiot mentioned in his email, but nothing came up. Did anybody dial it? I'm nowhere near a public telephone at the moment. I'll try when I get back to civilisation if nobody else has already done it...
I didn't see T3, and I didn't even get a text message. I suspected by the information released before the opening day that it would suck. And on the first Monday at work, the hardcore Terminator fans confirmed it. The movie reviews also wrote that the movie failed in the areas that made me think that the other 2 was great.
I almost NEVER go to see a movie just after opening, since for me:
MOVIE_GOOD BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
just about sums it up nicely. I will wait to see if people whose opinion I feel I can trust (including people on the Internet who I have never met, but whose published tastes seem to gybe with mine) praise or pan it. And even if they praise it I will still think twice or thrice before laying out the money...
It does not indicate that the movie companies want to gag anyone - just figure out how to appeal to the initial viewers.
The aim of the Hollywood execs is to get money in the easiest way possible. If it is cheaper to shut people up than to appeal to the initial viewers, they will try to find ways to shut people up. Plain and simple.
This was modded as informative why? This is what it says on the FSF web site:
A root compromise and a Trojan horse were discovered on gnuftp.gnu.org, the FTP server of the GNU project. The machine appears to have been cracked in March 2003, but we only very recently discovered the crack. The modus operandi of the cracker shows that (s)he was interested primarily in using gnuftp to collect passwords and as a launching point to attack other machines. It appears that the machine was cracked using a ptrace exploit immediately after the exploit was posted on bugtraq. (For the ptrace bug, an root-shell exploit available on 17 March 2003, and
a working fix was not available on linux-kernel until the following week.
Evidence found on the machine indicates that were cracked during that
week.) Given the nature of the compromise and the length of time the machine was compromised, we have spent the last few weeks verifying the integrity of the GNU source code stored on gnuftp. Most of this work is done, and the remaining work is primarily for files that were uploaded since early 2003, as our backups from that period could also theoretically be compromised.
So what you're saying is that we should all go over and poop on Darl McBride's lawn? That would be the ultimate slashdotting. Scary thought. If I seem short sighted, it is because I stand on the shoulders of midgets
With all the pooping going on, won't somebody please think of the midgets whose shoulders are being stood upon?
It changes all occurrences of 'flavour' to 'flavor' in the complete tree; I've just comiled all affected files (that is, the config resulting from make allyesconfig minus already broken stuff) succesfully on i386.
I am not sure that is 100% possible. In light of that reality, this might just punish any server, not necessarily attached directly to the spammer. For example, if I wanted to shutdown a site, couldn't I spam a million inboxes with that site's address?
I could see this solution, when mismanaged, merely creating lots of extra, meaningless traffic as well.
Yes, it does offer another means of initiating a DDOS attack on somebody you don't like, but it's not as though there aren't enough of those avaialble already. It's just another arrow in the script kiddies' quiver. However, it does offer a DDOS against spammers that they CAN'T AVOID with their current business model. So, yes, there is a potential downside, but, as we say in England, it does what is says on the can...
SQL is one of the few languages I would argue actually does *not* need a book.
I agree at bottom with this statement. As a declarative, rather than procedural, language, for the basics SQL does not REALLY need a book.
However, just as in Perl, TMTOWTDI. And often several of those ways, depending on the RDBMS you are using, and, usually more importantly, on the data themselves, are FAR, FAR worse than many of the other ways. That's why you need a good book, both on the principles of SQL (I highly recommend Joe Celko's SQL For Smarties), and an RDBMS-specific book as well. I use Oracle, and my recommendations in this area are Mastering Oracle SQL by Mishra and Beaulieu, and the Oracle SQL Tuning Pocket Reference by Mark Gurry.
Since the outsourcing companies are charging basically the same amount as if they had real employees, we should form companies that say they're outsourcing to India, but we're actually outsourcing to telecommuters in america.
Just show the investors your business plan, where you charge the same amount as an Indian outfit...

Jeez, what a saddo. He or she just set up a /. account to post this crap again...
However, I need to take exception with this bit:
Just go through lots more work to set up special filers on your computer
I have just set up a Network Appliance F840 filer for NAS on our network, and it we very easy indeed!
Also remember you need to feed nonspams to bayesian filters also.
Yes indeed, but don't forget: ham is personal, while spam is universal, so you need your own corpus of ham.
I think it's worth while to take the time to build up a corpus of SPAM and "good" messages as I can then evaluate competing filters.
Anybdoy looking for a can of spam might want to check out the Ling Spam corpus created by Ion Andoutsopoulos, also available here.

Am I missing something or are there syntax errors in the code in the jpeg image pointed to by the parent?

If a spammed website is brought down by a method such as this, it wouldn't altogether surprise me if they sued the maker of the software responsible.
Yet *another* upside: make sure that the auto-linker uses IE!!!

saw my t-shirt and immediately pulled the other cop aside. He walked over to me and said, "So, are you a programmer or do you just run Linux for fun?"
Be gald you weren't wearing a BSD T-shirt
