It does to the people who want your domain. I have my own domain for email and have had several requests to purchase it (for peanuts, I might add) since "it wasn't in use" due to a lack of web presence.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - technological and musical innovation Compact Disc was found dead in its Hanover, Germany home this morning. The cause of death is rumored to be Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy digital music, there's no denying its contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
The donors who had the transaction fees deducted should initate chargebacks for the amount of the fees. If PayPal reversed the transaction, then no transaction has taken place, and no fees are due.
Oh, please fucking spare me. The GPL uses copyright law to defeat copyright law. Being for the enforcement of the GPL and against copyright aren't contradictory positions. It is a clever legal hack that in order for the GPL to be invalid, so must be copyright. The copyright cartel and their apologists like you get all pissy when they realize copyright has been hoisted with its own petard.
And where's the fucking FBI when entities like Sveasoft and Sony flagrantly violate the GPL? In America, one gets all the justice one can afford.
One could argue that making your data available via that standard protocol implies a consent that can't be withdrawn or conditioned on any such terms of service.
In other words, the executives at Cisco at the time of the sale deserve to be hauled to the Hague in chains, tried for crimes against humanity, convicted, and hanged.
I'm sorry about your wife--that must be difficult. I can't classmates.com is so insensitive as to refuse to remove the profile. While I've never had much use for them anyway (they extract information from alumni then hold it and the ability to communicate hostage until receiving money--after having tricked new alumni into adding themselves to the database), I will certainly steer clear and recommend others do the same.
Either it's public or it's not. There's no such thing as "public, but sensitive." That just means that if someone wants to destroy you, they have to know their way around courthouses and city halls. Hardly a correct way to run a democracy.
We used to say the same thing about electronic dossiers--that storage was so expensive there was no way to keep all that transactional data forever. Now they can.
If we want to put an end to the spam from China, stop routing their data. Knock them off of the Internet and their citizens will demand that the problem be addressed.
Given the PRC government's (not to be confused with the legitimate government of the Republic of China in exile in Taipei) methods for dealing the the people demanding anything, I don't think that's too likely.
to a Chinese originated spam or to a Chinese spamvertised website. Since they ignore reports and are happy to collect spammers' dollars, I figure the outside chance one might get a bullet to the head is the best that can be hoped for:
(first in probably very bad Chinese, thanks to Babelfish)
Dear Spamhaus,
You have won our promotion in the FREE TIBET, Falun Gong, Remember Tiananmen, rebellion against the Glorious Communist State Sweepstakes!
The number on the bullet (free to you, billed to your family), which will hopefully go through your head when the censors in your godless heathen illegitimate bastard country who can filter out everything except spam see this, is 7417.
If you've got to "design, build, test" with these applications, what's the advantage of buying over building? I mean, why pay millions of $ if you're going to have to expend thousands of man-hours of development effort to beat PeopleSoft into something usable for your institution when you could spend those hours rolling your own, and not have to pay perpetual rental fees, to boot?
Slashdot Mirror
Does that mean my domains are "unused"?

Beat me to it. The stuff you've got to watch out for is the blue.
This pigfucker is charging for the database. Fuck him sideways with a rusty spork.
I appreciated it.

The right to print currency and earn seignorage is a nice little earner - but that right is restricted to central banks and the government.
Tell that to the people who sell gift cards and travelers checks.
is to block Usenet at the border.
Usenet.
Heh, guess porn makes "streaming video" take on a whole new meaning.
If the GPL is invalid, so are all shrink-wrap EULAs. I'd settle for that.

1. Post flamebait.
2. Pretend to be someone else and post a message as AC protesting flamebait moderation.
???
4. Profit!

This is about DRM -- an all-encompassing, Microsoft controlled supervisor mode controlling access to "trusted" components.

How many of you travellers were forced to carry your Visa/MC/AmEx and ATM cards by your government?

I hope the purchaser took the trouble to hop on Amazon to post a review to warn others.

Or maybe you pissed someone off who signed you up for some of that foreign spam.
