There was a scheme to stop spammers by making anyone on your non-approved list pay to send you an email - would this law stop this from being possible? I thought it was the most promising spam idea so far.
My cynic-ometer is also whispering that this law may have been encouraged by spammers, not that I listen to the voices anymore:(
There's a lot of might's in that story:) - Why, after so many "ooh, we were wrong's" are scientists still so trigger happy on announcing "possible life on x"?
This may be a stupid question, but how can they say there's a likely chance, when they haven't actually proved there's any life anywhere off-earth yet? Is this more astronomers trying to fund their projects again by mentioning the L-word?
This whole article just doesn't show genuine love to me. This should be about being able to ask your girlfriend square in the eye that you want to spend your life with her - not looking at the ring thinking "I found that somewhere cheap". Whether or not you spend x pounds/dollars/euros on a ring is irrelevant, as is whether it has a diamond, but whether it was bought "on the cheap" says something. The whole idea of considering resale value when buying an engagement ring suggests a lack of committment to the process.
