Yeah, that's why I go surfing, to see blue smoke, smell partially burned hydrocarbons and listen to the irritating whine of a small internal combustion engine.
The words are harder to read if they are in uppercase. We recognize word shapes using the forms produced by the lowercase letters. Narrower columns of text (up to a point) are help to increase reading and comprehension speed. Scrambled letters will slow you down a bit:-)

I bought a LinkSys 802.11b WAP/router & a notebook card...$90 at $GiantElectronics store. Three days later, same stuff - Belkin brand - is advertised at $Computer store for $50. Taking Linksys stuff back to store 1, buying Belkin stuff at store 2, re-configuring for WIn2K, WIn98 & SuSE (triple-boot notebook) just ain't worth the $40. Still burns me, tho!
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Virginia, claims Nextel obtained prototypes of Verizon cell phones to "obtain valuable, confidential, and proprietary business information," then share any negative news with industry analysts, according to an account of the suit in The Wall Street Journal.
Either Verizon has a gung-ho marketing department or they're taking a page from the creeps at RIAA (http://news.com.com/2100-1023-981449.html). Either way, now we ALL know that Verizon's coming out with a walkie-talkie.
Progression over the last 3.5 years, '()' indicate experiments: Mac 8.6, WIn98, (RH6.1),Win2K, (Yellow Dog, PPC) WInXP Home, Suse 8.1.
The Mac installs were always ez, the win installs were tedious, the RH & Yellow Dog/PPC had me reading manuals left & right. The SuSE install was brain-dead easy (easiest one of the bunch!, even easier than Mac), except for my lack of experience in assigning partitions (found a nice partioning scheme in the LAMP book (Lee, Ware - Addison Wesley).
Still fighting the WIn2K server & converting some Office docs, but that's just a matter of studying.
Garza said he was in bed when heard his dog barking and what sounded like thunder. He got out of bed and was downstairs when the meteor hit.
This morning, he called his boss and told him he wasn't coming into work today. "I told him what happened, and he said, 'Okay, but don't use that excuse again.'"
Now, *that* is a true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool, head-up-the-ass boss!
In "Ringworld" you placed an emphasis on the Luck of Teela Brown. Would you like to take a stab at what percentage of acts, actions and outcomes occur principally based on luck?
In a perfect world, or even a pretty good one, your solution is great. However, I'm basing that assumption on a shaky premise; That spammers are as intelligent, logical and thoughtful as you are.
I suspect that the slime that profits from spam will look at your response as a challenge: "Look," says the $pammer, "I just got a reponse from a live address! Share it with my $pammer buddies! FLOOD IT!"
On the other hand the return address could be spoofed, and the "Identify Yourself" e-mail goes to FOO or an innocent by-stander.
It's a quandary. I'm using two Yahoo addresses: one for signing up for stuff and commercial postings, and one for keeping in touch with friends & releatives. Perhaps I'll give your solution a try.
Looks like there's more than one way to skin the cat. The only drawback I see with your solution is that it causes more traffic on the 'net. Otherwise, I like it. It's like the Anonymous Call rejection/idetify on my parents' phone.
The reporter/dumbfsck is a typically boring pain-in-the-ass lUser. It's fashionable for a lUser to blame the tools for its own lack of skills. If you were to give this lUser a typewriter, it would moan that it can't change the ribbon, feed the paper or operate the correction fluid.
Why the armed robber gets a longer sentence than the embezzler: Bodily harm or death is much more permanent than losing money. Societies therefore harshly punish induhviduals who use or threaten to use a firearm in the commission of a crime.
On the other hand, a word of warning to any future Ken Lays: If I were in my late 50s and had a serious illness, and the CEO of my longtime employer had stolen my retirement and any chance I may have had at a few short years in comfort, I would blow his brains out. And no one could prevent it.

Sweet Mary, I parsed that as Original Equipment Manufaturers, and it still made sense. I need a break.

Instead of activating the brakes, how about just an alert chime - a kinder, gentler version of the ground-proximity alarms in aircraft?
Either way, I smell lawsuit if the thing fails or causes the driver to claim (s)he lost control.

Should Mr. Stabler reimburse the companies that settled? Does anything say he has to? WIll they come after him for the money? Just a thought.
