But usually it just confirms to the bot that your email address works so that it can send more. I used to try the remove option and I have never had one go through. The mail has always been returned as undeliverable. It's easier do just hit the delete key.
Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the explainations in all their variety. It brings to mind something that my dad told me. He said "If you can't be smart, be funny." I've generally had to live by this advice, now more than ever in the face of such learned dissertations. I thought that I was just asking a humorous question, but apparently it more earth-moving than I realized.
I searched Google with the phrase "For more information", which appears promently on my copyrighted website. It returned over 4 million web sites that have blatently stolen from me. My lawyer is currently drafting a cease and desist order.

All this time I thought that they were only responsible for 60's hits such as "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Wedding Bell Blues" and "Up, Up and Away" not the creation of our entire universe!
I live in major metro area. Jets fly almost directly over the center of town. I've been in 'em and looked straight down on a city of 300,000. The medivac chopper comes and goes from all directions as well. But yes, there are "roads" that they fly. They're not for safety mainly, but for "noise abatement." It's so the neighborhoods can take turns sharing thunder.
Nope. It would be easy. And the tether wouldn't get in the way of air traffic, either. Plus, think of the fun when a ballon burst and laid a mile of cable across the landscape. Or lightening striking the same place, over and over (think Ben Franklin). Sounds good to me. Let's use your money to do it. Get really great insurance and start building now.
I happened to live next door to the neighborhood bully. I was his first target every day. One day, as he was harassing me, I pulled a toy cap pistol from my pocket. He laughed and said 'You're gonna shot me?" I answered "No". Instead, I pistol whipped him. I brought the butt of the toy down on top of his head once, as hard as I could. This was the early 60's, toys were made of metal. I cut him up quite badly. He went crying home to his mommy with blood flowing down his face. He confronted me later that day and informed me that his dad told him that he was never supposed to "lose a fight." I told him that he just had and went in the house. He left me alone until the following winter when he and his thug friend pushed me into a snowbank at the local skating rink. I had grown a bit since the last confrontation. I stood over him, shoved a finger in his face and said "I don't want to have to hurt you again." I turned my back on both of them and skated away. He's been nice to me to this day.
Exactly!!! I'm sick to f-ing death of people who say that we don't need gov't. and that capitalism will provide for the unfortunate. Yeah, right. Those big business folks sure put the bucks into the places with no return on investment, don't they. You hear about BillG giving a million dollars to some charity and everyone thinks that's some great sacrafice on his part. That's like a nickel to the average guy. Sure the gov't can be corrupt. Look at Nixon or that lying sack of crap, Reagan. Talk about dishonesty. They're outta there. Try voting a CEO out. If you don't buy the products and the business sags, they lay off 10,000 people and get a huge-ass bonus. Anyone remember AT&T? At least the money going to gov't flows two ways. We pay taxes and we get infrastructure. Sometimes it's wasteful. What's your point? People have jobs, the economy rolls on. Give control to big business, like the minority of the population did in the last election and the money only flows uphill. The infrastructure become private property. Those that control it unregulated, prevent competition and we might as well bend over because we're about to get the big one. I trust politicians far more than I trust businessmen. Politicians owe their livelyhood to the public. I was channel surfing last night and came across CSPAN and CSPAN2. Funny, there weren't any "Corporate Board Meeting" channels. Ever wonder why? But I digress... Impeach Bush and We'll Call it Even!
You're right. We don't need no stinking gov't regulation. Big business always does what's right for the common man, the environment and the furure. Trust big business, they know what's best for us, not some elected official.
Right about incremental performance boosts. Running UT I get 40fps on a K6-2 300 overclocked to 418 and a Geforce 256. A new system would be a 300% increase for me, but what's the increase on 1.2Ghz to 1.33Ghz, 9%. "Hi, would you like to upgrade 300% or 309%?" When I can see a tenfold improvement, it'll be time, just like upraging from my 486-33. Until then, I need the money for beer.
I don't know who has the most time on their hands, you for writing this or me for reading it. I have to say that yours is an excellent and funny post. I wish that I was a moderator, I'd give you a plus one. Once again, good work and good attitude.
Wow, you haven't smashed up your car in 4 *whole* years of driving? That's almost as long as some people live before they're killed by a drunken speeder. The sign says speed LIMIT. It ain't NASCAR out there.
I set my cruise control to the EXACT speed limit, then drive in the left lane. I love watching the SUV's sway when they try to get around me in rush hour traffic. Also, could someone explain to these morons the meaning of "yield", "stop", and "speed limit"?
Save your self some workbench space, get a 4 port KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) switch. You'll be able to work on several machines at once, you'll won't have to grunt monitors up and down off the bench and you'll only have to wire the thing once into nice tidy bundles. While you're setting it up, be sure to get a hub and a few nics so you don't have to sweat getting drivers and apps onto the drives. A reliable burner would also be a help.

...and so they have millions of babies in the hopes that one of them won't starve to death in the next draught? If you're only making $500 a year, how do you support a family of ten? Wouldn't you think that after a couple of thousand years of that, they would have figured it out. Or has malnutrition made them stupid, only capable of fostering another generation of starving infants? How about we send 'em food and they quit breeding like rabbits? Then maybe they can get their population down to a self-sustainable level. I'd give my last dollar to someone who would use it to better themselves and their situation. You're right, though, our tax cut could feed the world. Then when the money was gone, how many more would there be to feed? Would you then come crying to us again, wimpering for another handout while doing nothing to stem the growth? How much food will you need then? Where do you expect it to come from? A what point should my family go hungry? Last time that I looked, the earth was a closed ecosystem.
