It seems like it's common to say, "Dancing Lemons From Outer Space (made up title) was the worst movie of all time". I generally don't watch movies like that, for example I've never seen any of Ed Wood's movies. Movies like those aren't trying to be good, so they can't be the worst. The ones I listed above are trying to be good movies, and they fail miserably, therefore they are terrible, although maybe not the worst. I'm sure there are worse ones out there.
1) They may not believe they are "destroying email". They are taking advantage of a market that didn't exist a few years ago and are milking it for all it's worth.
2) Often, but not always.
3) Lots of people lie. You probably do sometimes.
4) Okay, so it's dishonest.
Also, remember this is email we're talking about. A spammer might do all of the above, and these practices may not carry over into the rest of their life. People have a tendency to partition off parts of themselves. Just because a person does something immoral does not make them a wholly immoral person.
Okay, Mr. Freshman Philosophy 101, prove to me that spammers are by definition people without morals. You can suck Aristotle's dick later, but for now, show me the money, okay?
If Novell really does own the Unix copyrights, how did Caldera legally open source portions of it a few years ago? Why didn't Novell say anything about it then?
Hey, sounds great! Actually, I don't mind pedestrian friendliness, I just like to complain. It's also kind of nice to feel like you're in danger once in a while.
One thing that's kind of funny around here is quite often I see black guys strutting as slow as possible across the street while cars are coming. I guess it's some sort of defiant statement or something.
Regarding your statement about bicyclists and pedestrians: I live in the Northwest, and I'm frankly tired of the pedestrian friendliness. I went to San Francisco about a year ago and found a refreshingly different attitude. Cars go first!
Once I pulled out of a parking space in Seattle in front of an oncoming bicyclist, and she had the gall to shake her head at me as if to say "that's a no no". Dammit, she even had plenty of room. Oh man, sometimes this place is oppressive. I need to spend more time outside of the Northwest, it's nice to see a change of pace every once in a while.
Portland has a nice dreary, seedy, industrial quality that's been bred out of Seattle, although it's probably happening to Portland too. Portland is the only place I've been where I caught someone rummaging through my car on a dark street at night -- rather romantic, really. I've never lived in Portland, I'm a Washington native, but every time I go there I hear its bridges and smokestacks calling me. My wife, however, doesn't feel the same about it as I do.
Idaho...where men are men and the women, well they kind of look like men too.

Is Caps Lock Dead?

I remap caps lock to ctrl, and use 'ctrl-[' instead of escape. I thought abouting remapping caps lock to esc, but realized I need ctrl a lot too. I get the best of both worlds this way.
The idea is that the patched machines wouldn't get the worms though, isn't it? They probably figure most users are legitimate users and should be safe if they upgrade, although it remains to be seen if SP2 will really put an end to the security problems (not likely). I don't think their policy is unreasonable though.
From the article: It is kind of romantic hearing all these stories, e.g. a developer who later became a Be engineer had to carry his BeBox to his house from the post office with bear hands (and the BeBox was a very heavy machine compared to PCs)...
I wonder why he didn't just use his own hands...seems like bear hands would only make the load heavier.
You can't blame him, and it makes you happy. So what's the fucking problem?
I can't blame him for developing his property, yes. It makes me happy that he is improving the neighborhood, yes. I can blame him and it does not make me happy when he asks for fucking taxpayer handouts. Get a clue, fucknut.
There's science behind everything, but I don't think cooking is a science. It's a skill that combines a bit of science, a bit of art, some trial and error, and lots of practice. For example, I've been trying for a while to create a decent phad thai. The science part might tell me not to let the noodles cook too long, but it's not going to tell me what the end result is going to taste like. Each time I make it, I modify the sauce to try to achieve what I want, but it will take me a few more tries, maybe a lot more, before I really know this dish. Even following recipes may not get you what you want, because each one is different.
I used to watch my grandma or my mom cooking when I was a kid and then I tried to emulate them. My grandma never used a recipe, and I'd watch her throw in "a little of this, a pinch of that" and I wanted to do the same. When I was about ten, I begged my mom to let me try making chocolate chip cookies without a recipe. She was worried I'd be wasting ingredients, but she finally let me. It turned out pretty good too, for a first try. They were a little hard, but edible. I've had lots of cooks in my family. My great grandfather, my grandma, two of her siblings, and one of my cousins have all owned restaurants at some point in their lives.
I guess I'm starting to ramble, but I really like Alton Brown. I didn't realize he'd been interviewed on Slashdot, all I knew of him was from watching his show. I like him because his humor is right on my level, and my wife agrees he's entertaining. She also expects me to do most of the cooking:-). Sometimes I get a little tired of that, but if she cooks then I have to do the dishes, and I'd rather cook almost any day.
It's too bad that was overhyped and possibly rigged by the judges. There's no way Bobby Flay could have won fairly. As my boss said of him, "anyone can make a fucking taco".
Slashdot Mirror
I didn't like Moulin Rouge either, but I will say it had the best versions of Like a Virgin and Smells Like Teen Spirit I had heard.
Some of the worst movies I've seen:
Quills
Dancer in the Dark

I totally agree.
It's spelled "spelled". Spelt is a grain eaten by hippies.
What will happen if I ignore your dire warning?
It doesn't appear they have any useful documentation on their site, only market speak.
1) They may not believe they are "destroying email". They are taking advantage of a market that didn't exist a few years ago and are milking it for all it's worth.
2) Often, but not always.
3) Lots of people lie. You probably do sometimes.

On second thought, sorry for the flamebait. But you still haven't proven your broad, sweeping statement.
Okay, Mr. Freshman Philosophy 101, prove to me that spammers are by definition people without morals. You can suck Aristotle's dick later, but for now, show me the money, okay?
They can, if you glue them on.
NO! There is no reality shift. It is I got sued and as part of the settlement, I have to appoligize..
Maybe, but do you know that for a fact?
Do you think that spammers have morals?
That's the funny part of your post. Spammers are people, and people can have morals, therefore spammers can have morals. Why not?

Proters? I think the correct spelling is pr0ters ;-).
Thanks for sharing that with us, Eric. I'm glad to know you're good friends with Paul Graham. Any other little tidbits you can tell us?
I've used these inventions before, they work really well. Only we used to call them pillows.

Oh please. 8 or above? How did you get to be a professional writer without ever reading good writing by the likes of Faulkner or Joyce?
