Maybe they aren't up in arms because they're making money hand over fist selling items out the backdoor? (Idle speculation, but it would be an interesting sideline for a gaming company.)
eBay is pretty timid. They routinely pull auctions of $cientology E-Meters because the Cthurch files bogus DMCA claims that they somehow have copyright control over the sale of a physical object.
Cancelled? I think you miss the point of credit card companies and who they work for. They'd tag a buyer's record with gullible and up his credit limit.
That would probably be Al Ralsky. (One of the many "Spam Kings".) Keep in mind that we don't know how much of that home is mortgage, loans, credit and flimflam. A previous spammer did the same Lemming Display Dance and later it turned out that it was mainly a house of cards.
Not always. Spammers frequently use tricks to confuse humans reading links. spammy%2Ecom type hex, www.fake.com/blahblahblah@real.biz username/password stuff, public redirectors like yahoo has. About the only trick I haven't seen used is having a link to archive.org. (Hell, goatse is still there.)
Of course, the whole idea is that whatever they do to it has to be readable/reachable by the browser, so if your scanning software uses the same rules, they're still hosed.
Until MS started giving away IE, they weren't really competing with Netscape. Perhaps they just wanted to kill a meta-competitor? (Trying to be the only frog in the Windows pond has always been their problem.)
Miles away from Vegas, in bat country, a pickup truck, a six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, and a self-balancing motorcycle receive new robotic orders and pick up the pace.
You can set microsoft.com (or where-ever) as a Trusted site. (You trust Microsoft, don't you?) I made Slashdot a Trusted site because of something that wanted to run ActiveX all the time. (Normally it prompts. Every page.) I think I'll review that and move Slashdot to my Hell No! zone if it won't break anything.
The sad part is that the underlying security in the NT family isn't that bad--if it's allowed to do it's job. It must really suck to keep working on ways to tighten security at MS, and then have marketing whine about "ease of use" and override design decisions.
When writing for the then upcoming NT5, we were supposed to assume that there would be very limited access by non-OS software to anything n the \windows\ directories. Judging by the ease that some VB scripts running in the IE browser use ActiveX to overwrite stuff there, I bet that restriction got lost before shipping. (Yeah yeah, "IE is now part of the OS". Bah!)
When (if?) Linux takes over the desktop, do you think all the Magic Box users aren't going to converge on one distro? What happens when all the stores stock a Big Blue Penguin distro (example), new software works out of the box for it, all the support shops expect it, all the Linux for Total Fscking Morons books assume it, and all the arguments about UI libraries are moot? Some people will continue to download distros and compile, but will that be a larger number than it is now?
Going back a step or two, since Joe Shuster, half of the team that created Superman, was born in Toronto, at least half of the fault for Krypton's explosion can blamed on Canada.
(Although Cleveland, Ohio definitely catches a lot of that too.)
Which one's the robot equivalent of the souped-up red convertible driven by Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo?

I've met people involved with leaves and stems and things that seemed a bit odd, but knew an awful lot about hydroponics.

I doubt it could be Linux. SCO hasn't made noises about suing them yet.
Uh-oh. Better check to see if Marty McBride has a Delorean in the parking lot. (Athough he seems more like a B1ff.)

Stupid then. Besides the usual pranks and mistakes, rivals could easily take a spammer's Millions CD and poison their list.
Did all those opt-ins use a confirmation system to make sure that it really was the owner of that email address signing up for it?
Yes, I'm afraid that's what elections are all about.
Which means that they'd be cake for shotguns loaded with magnesium pellets. You'd think someone would have tried a box of Arm & Hammer on them...
Piece of cake! Remember how the Apple ][ had Woz's Sweet16 virtual machine in ROM to do 16 bit operations without so much fiddling around?
A little tinkering and .. The Sweet64! :)

Ha! The new article about email card malware is exactly the example I was thinking of. (It's been around for at least a year.) Read it and weep!

Perhaps Homeland Security can use it to catch terrorist fish? What we really need is software to recognize marketing BS.
You can address more than 4 gigs of ram with an 8 bit processor. That doesn't mean that the result is pretty or that you should do it.
AMD won't have won until Intel starts rating its processors in "equivalent Athlon64 performance". ;)

They tried to call and complain, but ...
