What also sucks is that KaZaA doesn't seem to remove nodes from is "check list" of IPs unless it gets a definite port refused response. So when I reboot and get bombarded with port 1214 requests, and my firewall drops the packet completely, they keep trying for weeks.
No biggie, I pop up a web server on the port. KaZaA is close enough to HTTP to confuse them into going away as well as logging all their user/download info.:^)
I could never understand the LONG lists of available files which are not usable.
You've never run a BBS right?:^) The number of junk files uploaded even when they didn't need it for download ratios was amazing. Or uploading renamed copies of software already uploaded (with fscking BBS ads inserted into the zip to make size checks impossible.)
I'm sure that there must be some free porn companies that don't spam. Yeah, sure, and they make a living off of each others banner ads, that's the ticket!
Why would they need $1.50? Everybody in the country keeps emailing me about all the millions they'd like to help me launder.
I just email back the previous person's email. Maybe they can help each other out and make themselves rich? After all, we're taking about a figure close to the whole GNP in stuck dead relative's money.
Uhoh, my spamfighter sense is tingling! Where did you plan to get all those people to subscribe?
I hope it's banner ads or some such thing and not any kind of "opt-in" or "targetted" email list. Those lists are never valid and anyone who says they are are lying to you. (Spammer Rule #1.)
This isn't any kind of dig, just hoping that you're being careful. I like successful non-spamming web companies. I don't even turn off banners. (Except for DoubleClick and such. That's a privacy issue.) Rereading with enhanced caffeine, it looks like you know what you're doing.

This is hardly "early energy shields". It's really just a way to do what's been done with explosives for years.
"Arm the explosive hull plating!", eh, I don't think so. (Although so insane an idea might make even the Klingons remark "Holy Feklar!")
We still need a few break-throughs in physics equal to Maxwell or Einstein to pull those kind of stunts.
Hmm... They'll have to get the humanoid robots to the point of actually playing a game of soccer then. It sounds like they're a ways away. Coordinating a team of robots would interesting.
Deeper RoboCup Link Heh, "And taking the field, it's the Sony Beowulf Clusters!"
Ha! And so we shall conquer space. Those alien scumbugglets will receive our transmissions, and if "Achy-Breaky Heart" doesn't kill them out-right, our copyright laws will! Bwahaha!
Wait... Did anyone transmit "A Deepness in the Sky" to them? Yes? Hell.
It's too bad that there's no reasonable excuse to forbid cell-phone use on a bus. If I had a dime for every time I heard "Hi. Yeah, I'm on the bus. What? No, I just called to say that I'm on the bus" I could buy a clue for Worldcom.
Princeton admissions dean who used applicant information to hack into a Yale Web site.
It was all a simple typing mistake. He was looking for replicant information, and you know have sneaky they can be -- he need information about their mothers.
ActiveBuddy is going to try to get some weak sisters to roll over on the patent before taking on anyone who could fight back in court.
They'll want to pick a victim with some cash to pay for a licence, but not enough to handle a legal campaign. (If there are any IM-bot companies rich enough to handle a legal fight...)
In cases such as Requiem For A Dream, it is not the theatrical version, this is true, but the fact that that theatrical version of the film is NC-17 and the one at Blockbuster is R should tip you off... Usually they have the words "R-rated version" on the cover as well (I know Requiem For A Dream does).
So how much homework should I do before renting a movie from Blockbuster? They don't state it plainly on the tape, or give me a choice, so I never rent from Blockbuster.
What's to stop them from putting Plan 9 on the tape (with studio permission)? It seems to me that my consumer rights would have been screwed in that case. (Vastly exaggerated example, I know.)

He's probably out reviewing a movie. Be afraid, be very afraid. :^)
Gee, I guess those "Funding for this program has been provided by BigChemicalCo" announcements aren't commercials. My mistake! :^)
It would be interesting to measure their effectiveness against the blitz of ads on regular TV. Of course, the demographics are completely different.

That's where Kirk's best friend gains god-like powers, and a complete inability to remember Kirk's middle name. "James R. Kirk" on the headstone.
