I used to get 5 a day, then I started tracing and sending off an abuse report abut EVRY SINGLE one. I now get about 3/week, not counting my bait address. don't email me there, btw, I have a bot that gose tgo hotmail, downloads them, then traces them, and forwards them to abuse departments.
try out sneakemail.com, free service for dealing with this sort of thing.
I use thier perl command line client, so all I need to do when I buy something is type './sneakemail.pl -v -na company' and thiv them the produced address. If they spam it, I tell sneakemail to bounce stuff to that address.
This is not a bug in slashcode, it'd a bug in how internet explorer handles wraping. It only seems to bother internet explorer. (konqueror and netscape still wrap it)
I just talked to my dad, a CPA for over 15 years, and he says he is unsure that a LUG would be a 501(c)(7) without deatails. He did however agree that a LUG should not be a 501(c)(3)
IIRC, the Bleem crew used a similar defense with Sony, in that they performed the emulation not by copying the PS1 BIOS, but instead by studying how the software and hardware interacted, then figuring out how to reproduce those responses on the x86 platform. With the WINE crew, it would be studying how two different layers of software interact, then reproducing those results with a different software layer. As long as they don't go looking at the W32 source (just as Bleem didn't look at the PS1 BIOS), they should be clean. Again, IANAL
This is what I was talking about when I mentioned a "cleanroom" implemention. Much like the a "blackbox". You send a signal in, and observe the signal out, and work to duplicate the results without opening it up. This is a legal method of reverse engenierring. If, however, you opened up the box, and copied the circuit, then you would be infringing. IANAL, this is stuff I have read from multilpe places, and has been upheld in court several times. I'm sorry I don't have links, but a good web search should find some stuff.
What if they use the fact that thier code has gone puiblic to sue the developers of WINE and the like for copyright infringement? Right now, they haven't been sued because they have a 'cleanroom' implementation which requires not looking at source. With the source to windows publicly available, WINE developers will have a hard time arguing that thery didn't touch any of the Windows.

A number of new image search engines have attempted to take advantage of the fact that website owners have posted their images and text to be seen, enforced by a widespread belief that anything on the Internet is "free" for the taking, and created new businesses based on "fair use" of these images to earn hundreds of millions utilizing the images indexed, harvested, scoured and vacuumed from websites worldwide.
You also have to log in with PPPoE, don't you? My connection is plain old TCP/IP, and like it that way, I just turn on my DSL modem wait 15 seconds for it to boot and sync the signal, and the connection is up. When I first got on I didn't even have to know my username or password to get connected.
I've hauled my Compaq Armada V300 (Happily running Linux) around in my backbach for 5 months, works fine, but the LCD has some scratches from the trackpad from not having padding in the middle.
If I had the money I would buy an ebook reader that could deal with plain PDFs.(Linux HOWTOs are a pain to read on the same box you're working on). Does anyone know of eBook readers that can handle PDF and talk to linux?

I have X set up to let me use 2 mice, it works fine, however I only get one pointer.
I hate spam, and even run some bait accounts (like attoparsecs@hotmail.com, feel free to post it on usenet) that are automaticly run through a reporting program.
"E-mail is very much regarded by consumers as something that intrudes on their privacy," said Fran Maier, executive director of Truste. "Consumers are concerned about fraud and they're concerned about pornography. But they are afraid to opt out because that signals...that they're a live one."
This is a very good point, most of us don't opt-out for this reason. If there was a system in place that required "approved senders" to have thier lists filtered by a universal opt-out list, great. I would also want a toll free phone number and bussiness adderss included with each address. This way, if someone abuses thier approved sender status, people can whine and sue.

that was ment to be on my other post, but was intrepted as an html tag, despite 'plain old text' being set

I belive that you are correct. My LUG has this status, after it was recomended instead of 501(c)3.
Here are 2.
1.) If you don't use Windows
2.) You use some of the special features that the official client has but trillian does not.

You could set up a thermaly controled device to vary the voltage to the fan.

Clearly this person is either ignorant or stupid.
My feelings:
loading an image from someone else's site on your website w/o permission: bad
linking an exteral image w/o permission: fine
everything else can be derived from here.
