Well, if spam would taste better -- and be better for you
The trick is that you don't just suck on a brick of it. Stir-fry with veggies and teriyaki sauce or a zillion other recipes. And if you still don't like SPAM, a can in the cupboard can keep you going for ages just like Dwarf bread. (Discworld joke.)
Interesting. My M is 11/Jul/86 and built by IBM. They eventually spun off the keyboard div into a seperate company which probably still makes keyboards of that style. Lexmark was spun off to mainly make printers, and I believe the keyboard company now has a different name.
As I recall, CTRL-ALT-INS would kick my Heath-Zenith 150 PC clone into the ROM monitor. It was handy for software that had traps to foil using debug. I miss that box. (But I'd never go back!)
Good, they can control and direct the troops that will have to guard all these cameras and sensors from kids with rocks and spraypaint. What happened to the liberation of Iraq and installation of a democratic government?
Sounds like the usual "overtech" solution by control-weenies.
Mainly these days, it's open proxies. Open relays leave a trail in the headers, proxies don't. Outgoing filters won't help in that case because it's not going through the ISP's mail server.
Administrators can't do anything in cases where management doesn't mind pink spammer money, or where the sales guys are clueless about known spammers.

Just today (Tuesday July 1st) Telefonica announced that they had dropped Cyberangels as a client for breach of their terms and conditions regarding unsolicited bulk e-mail.
I think they also got dropped from another provider as well. There was some speculation that they were using a hijacked IP block.
There's betting on NANAE about where he pops up next.
Setting up a hacked web site is the next stage. It used to be that ISPs didn't care if the spammer had a web site if the spammers used throw-away accounts to send the spam.
Now ISPs nuke spammer pages, so spammers try tricks to obscure the URL like www.fake.url@%312%33.1%323.%3123.12%33, have relays of pages, use Javascript, etc. Eventually the actual site does get nuked (or blocklist presure on the ISP). That site is where the spammer get his orders for penispotions or whatever so it hurts. (Can't take orders without a page or email dropbox.)
This tactic adds another layer of isolation.
Now if only moronic programs like the ActiveX porxy didn't default to wide open.
It's nice publicity for Red Hat, but how many copies did Pixar buy? (Then again, a big ticket customer like Pixar might have bought a hipri support contract.)
For educators, Windows just isn't nearly as good a value proposition[1] as Linux.
For a lot of people using Windows to run an "Office Machine" has decreased in value due to feature bloat. I don't need all the features of Word all the time. When I do need some feature that I don't normally use, it's usually a major PITA to figure out how how to do it. (It's not so much flexable as limp.)
For a lot of things, I'd prefer a much smaller integrated suite of programs. And the Office price tag means that I'll consider options. Office is going to be a fact of life for some time, but Microsoft is going to lose their automatic lock-in -- especially if graduating students are aware of options. (As well as the baby duckling effect with editors.)

What?! They're claiming that there's bits of SPAM in every other processed meat? Ewww!

I don't remember the name of the company, I wasn't very interested because, you see, I've already got one. :^P

Certainly. And of course there's always Google Groups

Damned AnalogX which installs open by default. (WebHub used to be my pet hate for that.)

I once received Russian mail order bride spam from an open proxy on the firewall of the South Korean Naval HQ. I almost fell out of my chair.

Hey, I didn't say the movie was respectable. Not that I saw it, but you could tell from the advertising.
No one would care if they got blown up. However this might encourage accidents. Perhaps replacing animals in product testing?
I want to see a shot of him at a formal event -- wearing a tux!
If "Microsoft are the ones that keep pushing new technologies," those new technologies sure seem to push back.
And probably a quick one. I imagine they get the voice talent in and out pretty fast, and then match the graphics to the voices.
Voice talent for cartoons is respectable these days. Look at how much they plugged the voice of Bruce Willis for a dog in that Wild Thornberries one.
Agggh! Dreamworks, not Pixar. Fingers on auto-pilot.
The Amiga used to get good press too. ;^)
And Microsoft offered China a special deal. They didn't seem to care about piracy so much as heading off the use of Linux.

Can I use the staff microwave for a second? Thanks.
Kind of a shame. The COM automation interface to Outlook is very powerful, but it requires a load of a huge program to leave a postit to yourself.
