I don't understand why people would pay more to live near a city. It's like "Here I'll bend over so you can more easily fuck me in the ass".
I make less than most IT/IS people, but once you figure in how much cheaper everything is, and how much better life is away from the city, it's well worth it.
There are specific laws in most states against sending spam with forged headers.
These people are not legitimate marketers. They collect names, that much is probably legal, but the illegal part comes when they commit computer trespass, exploiting poorly configured servers, and signing the mail with fraudulent return addresses.
If these crimes take place in other countries, it may be legal, but it is illegal in most of the united states. VA has a personal juristiction clause in the law. If you spam here, then you do business here, you come to court here.
Your houses are extremely expensive compared to where I live in Virginia, USA. Houses here are from 80k-130k USD for most average sized houses in good areas.
Most of the people that cared to moderate, and didn't read too often to be able to moderate, can't anymore.
Taco or one of his "buds" used the thread of death as an excuse to remove several hundred people's moderation privs.
I'd say a lot larger percent of the moderation is done by the editors themselves now. They used to do over 10% of it, but now with a big chunk of the moderating population gone, it's probably a lot higher.

I don't see how certain drugs cause much "social grief" either. Th number of deaths attributed to LSD, ecstasy, GHB, and these club drugs that justify this stupid new effort, combined, are less than the number of deaths caused by intentional overdose on alcohol, bug spray, or any other number of things you can buy at Wal-Mart.
We aren't talking about monitoring here, we are talking about raiding, arresting, and seizing the assets of these people because they "push the envelope" of free speech, in other words, because they are spreading unpopular speech.
Once assets are seized, even if the owner is not charged with a crime, it is a long court battle to get them back, and how is the person supposed to pay for a lawyer after all their assets, including bank accounts are seized?
You must have your head firmly in your nether regions if you don't see what is happening here. It's not right and it needs to stop.

Caffeine is a drug just like all the others. It is a drug that is used by many people, but a still a drug. People who use caffeine to wake up in the morning or to be more alert at work are no different than people who take drugs at parties to be more social.
Caffeine has some level of addiction, it could definitely cause illness, and it can cause death in sufficiently high doses (a lot lower doses than the LD50 of many illegal drugs, BTW)
Worse yet, this is aimed at taking down the whole rave culture, good parts and (argubly) bad parts.
This is the supression of a whole group of people. I don't rave, I don't see what the appeal in raving is, but I sure as hell will fight to protect their rights.
Arresting people for possession of water bottles and glowsticks as "paraphenlia" is total and utter bullshit. This has to end. I'm glad that Slashdot saw it fit to post this story.
Diagonal DIMM slots would use cut the board in half, reducing the number of square chips you could fit on there. If you could get triangle shaped ceramics on the chips, then I'm sure diagonal DIMMs would work well.:)
Red Hat seems to be doing this a lot, they were very smart, they sold the secondary offering of stock when their stock was way overvalued, pocketed several hundred million dollars, and now they are buying up the assets and employees of a lot of bankrupt open source companies for pennies on the dollar.
Makes me glad to own Red Hat stock, even though I did lose a lot riding it from $30 to $9, I made it back riding it from $4 to $7, and still holding those shares right now. It would take a major turn of events to make me sell their stock now.
Red Hat is THE American Linux company, now that LNUX is misnamed. I always knew they would come through in the end.
CMS is a proactive collaboration toolkit based on fundamental shifts in paradigm in the sector of flattening orginizations. This will allow for B2B and B2C relationships in cyberspace, thus increasing flow of information and ideas, in an interactive way.
Opera has Google search as the default search in the toolbar right next to the address bar. Out of all the search toolbar things, Opera's is the only one I could bring myself to use.
I have an ECS K7SEM, actually 7 of them. They are a smaller board with a similar VIA chipset to the ones in the book PC. Everything that is on board works in Linux. I've only had a problem with one of them, the network card disappeared. I'm not sure what happened, but I can't get the onboard ethernet to work anymore. Luckily a realtek card that even uses the same Linux module as the one on the motherboard is only $10 and I had some spares in stock, so I didn't take much time to troubleshoot it, I just put a new card in.
I really havn't had any problems with the VIA all in one chipset, except X support for the VGA part of it, which kind of sucks right now. 2.4.17 and later include some patches to help the framebuffer work with it though, and there are some patches out that aren't in the main kernel tree yet that also help some. It's still a bitch to get acceleration in Mesa going. Anyway, if you aren't using it for games, then it's fine.

And to think, LSD made this all possible
"Would I have invented PCR if I hadn't taken LSD? I seriously doubt it,"
-- Dr Kary Mullis, Nobel Prize Winning inventor of the Polymerase Chain Reaction that allows pretty much all the modern research in DNA technology.
And to think on the same Google search that I found that, there was a sponsered link to "How drugs support terrorism" from the government.
Interesting,

Here we call marketers solicitors,
there you call lawyers solicitors.
Both are hated in general.
(The reason I mentioned CA is because that is what the article is about)
It's OK, I would be anonmous if I had a "friend" that did that too. :)
Haha, I don't know how to interpert being modded up when I say "I'm an asshole".
:)
Is that a compliment or an insult?
No, southwest VA. Pretty rural.

Mod parent up,
and also, what was the nature of the spam, Mr. AC? Was it porn? I bet porn gets a lot more response than anything else.
I don't know about CA, but in VA, the law gives us a nice round number to work with, and it's pretty sizable.
