Nuclear power is mainly being phased down because of the accountants rather than the technology. After Three-Mile Island and Chernobyl, the insurance for operating and bonds for final decommisioning sky-rocketed.
Bored techs who play with the knobs seems to be nuclear power's greatest risk.
His Energy Czar was escorted from the building 20 minutes or so after the last gas-lineup ended. (/sarcasm)He actually cut back a number of research projects, including fusion research.
Ah well, at least he's since had much success in getting people to stop fighting each other. (So he'd shut up and leave.:^) I do miss when the limit of presidential scandal was Billy Carter, an attack rabbit and a UFO sighting. It was a nice lull.
I remember an incident when it looked like we might have needed a 3870 telnet plug-in for our contact manager (why ask why?). We had a team-huddle to think about it. It might have been a Friday after beers.
A quick search of the net, download, wrap the component in our plug-in ActiveX interface. Done! 20 minutes. In retrospect, a bad move, it being a VC++ shop.
And if they ever pass a law against spam, it will turn out that unsolicited policial email has been redefined as other than spam.
That, and the fact that local tin-pot candidates for parking attendent will spam the global.com.org and.edu domains should surprise no one. (I expect to get spam to my.ca account from Potluck AR, USA, but I'm usually knurd on Klatchian coffee and expect the worst.)
The danger of getting laws passed is that the Direct Marketing Association always makes sure that clauses get added to redefine what they do as not spamming.
I don't trust that any law wouldn't be mangled by the DMA's powerful lobby. (Also the number of politicians dipping their toes in spamming is increasing. Any bets that they would define what they do as spamming?)
Not a bad list, but it could be more clear about when SPEWS will open a hole. Usually it's when someone is in the process of moving from their spammy ISP, and they have a definite timetable of when it will happen.
The last time that I saw them do it, SPEWS opened a hole within an hour of the formal statement/request on NANAE of a move in a month. Whoever they are, they're fast.
Yes, blocking the other 200 will force the ISP to take action, but maybe the ISP would have taken action anyway?
If they take action, they get off the list. If they had taken action in the first place, their other 200 probably wouldn't have been listed in the first place.
If you want to live in a slum, don't complain about cockroaches. Try that for a prime computation "Bashar". If you think the SPEWS listing is unfair, post it. If SPEWS acts arbitrary, people will stop using it.
SPEWS might be anonymous (cuts down on the cartoony legal actions) but the newsgroup is hardly anonymous. Professional? How much are they getting paid? (If they are, I want a piece of that as a drafted unofficial SPEWS helpdesk support recruit.:^)
It wasn't legimate, but I did get spam from an open proxy on the firewall of the South Korean Naval headquarters. Ohmyflippinggawd. Bet your ass that I burned diplomatic and admin channels reporting that one with the recomendation that they do a full security audit.(And right after they shut it down, they had a naval incident with North Korea. Hmm.)
Zero legitimate email, but those Russian babes did seem pretty hot.:^)

Several virgins and a goat? That gets expensive, and the wine bills! Oh sorry, which relgion were we talking about?
Attending class from the Oval Coffee-house would have been nice. (Come to think of it, I was there for many of my classes anyway. :^)
of the running gag in Real Genius which ends with an empty classroom and the teacher's tape recorder talking to the students' tape recorders.
They've been cloning him for years. They all look like him!
You do know that the sign originally said "Hollywoodland", right? It was put up by a real-estate company.

I think the Vietnam reference qualifies under the Ron's Rule of Rubber Analogies variant of Godwin's rule.

Take a closer look at those lists.
How would you know troll? You don't get spam.

That said, from your description, you run a proper confirmed opt-in list with records of the confirmation. Excellent!

ITYM "So screw us, we're paying the price for supporting a company that supports a company that takes spammer money."
Wah! Wah! Wah! Name the SPEWS record and let's see if it's justified or not.
They can't have been trying very hard. Have you considered the possibility that they are lying to you? (Sadly it happens quite often.)
Oh-oh. "Double opt-in" is usually spammer-speak.
Ask me if I care.
Pass me the teriyaki sauce. Crow just isn't tasty without that teriyaki sauce, mmm-mmm! :^)
