nope SgtChaireBourne is right, we used Usenet back when Christ was a Corporal, and that back before the internet which means Usenet is older than dirt.
UUCP can use several different types of physical connections and link-layer protocols, but was most commonly used over dial-up connections. Before the widespread availability of Internet connectivity, computers were only connected by smaller private networks within a company or organization. They were also often equipped with modems so they could be used remotely from character-mode terminals via dial-up lines. UUCP uses the computers' modems to dial out to other computers, establishing temporary, point-to-point links between them. Each system in a UUCP network has a list of neighbor systems, with phone numbers, login names and passwords, etc. When work (file transfer or command execution requests) is queued for a neighbor system, the uucico program typically calls that system to process the work. The uucico program can also poll its neighbors periodically to check for work queued on their side; this permits neighbors without dial-out capability to participate.... The uucp and uuxqt capabilities could be used to send e-mail between machines, with suitable mail user interface and delivery agent programs. A simple uucp mail address was formed from the adjacent machine name, an exclamation mark or bang, followed by the user name on the adjacent machine. For example, the address barbox!user would refer to user user on adjacent machine barbox.
Mail could furthermore be routed through the network, traversing any number of intermediate nodes before arriving at its destination. Initially, this had to be done by specifying the complete path, with a list of intermediate host names separated by bangs.... Bang paths of eight to ten machines (or hops) were not uncommon in 1981, and late-night dial-up UUCP links would cause week-long transmission times.... This network was very informal, maintained in a spirit of mutual cooperation between systems owned by thousands of private companies, universities, and so on. Often, particularly in the private sector, UUCP links were established without official approval from the companies' upper management. The UUCP network was constantly changing as new systems and dial-up links were added, others were removed, etc. uucp
Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use. It was established in 1980, following experiments from the previous year, over a decade before the World Wide Web was introduced and the general public got access to the Internet. It was originally conceived as a "poor man's ARPANET," employing UUCP to offer mail and file transfers, as well as announcements through the newly developed news software. This system, developed at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University, was called USENET to emphasize its creators' hope that the USENIX organization would take an active role in its operation (Daniel et al, 1980).Usenet
Back arround that time, people used to joke that we could defete the Soviet empire cheaper by dropping Toshiba LapTops loaded with Unix than by building bombs and bombers, everyone in Russia could have gotten a laptop for what we were paying for B1 bombers and Hydrogen bombs! The only problem would have been the weight of the manuals would have killed anyone that they were dropped on. If you really want to move data anonymously even today dial-up UUCP networks between trusted nodes and GnuPG is the way to go!
The biggest problem is filtering out the spam posts, next is filtering out all of the viruses, worms and trojans. Once your that far, somebody can actually look at the stuff!
Actually, to be technical you can't copyright a fact, the correct answers would be facts so someone could argue that they are also not copyrightable, so only incorrect answers are copyrightable! You'll find that things like board games karaoke CDs and all kinds of stuff have mistakes purposely planted in them for copyright purposes.
Okay, so what they're doing is more like slipping ads into the packaging of stolen goods, but they're still making a profit in the long run or they wouldn't be doing it in the first place. No these goods aren't stolen, they are meerly "sold" where one would expect to find stolen goods.

You young grasshopper has been seriously trolled, and forever when I see your UID on slashdot I'll chuckle to myself and think "what a clueless PHB "; you Kung-Fu is weak! The only working interpreter for the unrelaesed Perl 6 is the interpreter written in Haskel. Secondly why in the world would you include VB in with C, C++ and C#.

the GP said Gasoline is so safe you can light it on fire and it won't explode. I said You are so wrong, liquid gasoline doesn't burn at all; you can put out a match in it; gasoline vapors are extremely explosive; there is no in between if it will burn, it can do so explosively. I can not only put out a lit match in gasoline, I can make 250mL explode like a stick of dynamite; want to come over and watch?
Doesn't matter if the inaccuracy is consistant. These guys are in trouble because they are trying to measure something as an absolute in an area where approximate is the best they can hope for. Here how you avoid this problem, when you want to hire someone for your marketing dept, say something like "Successful candidates will have passed a 200 level sociology and or a statistics course from the math dept." That will weed out the pretenders who flunked out of graphic arts program and switched to advertising and are now calling themselves Marketers.
I took economics with a couple of power station operators from Detroit Edison Co. weird business power generation, the only industry that considers labor a fixed cost! Thirty people can make nothing or 3 people can make 1000MW!
Look here's the way I see it You tell me coal is a fossile fuel made from decomposed bio-mass millions of years old it seems reasonable to me
coal has lots of amine compounds, biomass has lots of proteins, both are nitrogenous compunds
coal has lots of cyclic compounds as does biomasses, there different cyclics but the differences aren't huge
coal has the same kinds of trace minerals your likely to find in indiginous flora and funa
coal is found near the surface
Petrolium on the other hand
composed predominately of straight-chain ashphaltic and parafinic hydrocarbons
amasingly clean, very little contaminating minerals other tha sulpher
found at depths boardering on near the surface to miles deep
Therefore I have to conclude that petrolium isn't a fossile fuel at all, it found far deeper that deposition of biomass and covering with soil would allow unlike coal and very probably oil-shale and it's basic composition is to clean and neat to be biomass derived. I think it's far more likely that petrolium's originates from complex reactions of naturaly occuring carbon in the earth's core and hydrogen gas at extreme temperatures and presures which perculates upward through the rocks untill the gasses condence and accumulate in cavernous rock formations in the crust. This of course would make our petrolium supplies to a degree replenishing and the concept of Peak Oil rediculous.
I know that this will stike most as a creationist rant, but even the village idiot can have an epiphany. If the conventional wisdom stated that petrolium was mineral rather than fossile, would the fossile fuel camp be able to argue against the status quo?
With a fuel cell in each house, you could essentially generate hydrogen from water and electricity at night when the power plants are idling in inefficient speeds There is very little idling power plants, the demand is predictable enough that plants come online and go offline very effiecently. We have a peaking plant that can go from a cold-start to online in a half an hour! Besides, with everone generating H2 off-peak, ther wouldn't be any more off-peak.

check numbering isn't useless, it's a sequential numbering system to aid the user in maintaining his account register. Mine are sequenced accrost all of my checking account, when I change banks, the new checks start about 100 past the old bank's end number. This makes things real easy for me as intended, not easy for the clueless who erroneously assume something about the accounts age can be infered from the check numbers.
well let's see the first 3 digits are area encoded, so that leaves 6 digits to cover 300,000,000, something tells me that SSN's aren't really unique. Unless I'm really missing something, anybody depending on the SSN to be a unique identifing number is going to be embarssed sooner or later.
There is a lady in the next town that has the same first name. Middle initial and last name as my wife, her SSN and driver's license both differ by only a single digit that are easily transposed on the number pad. Unfortunately she likes to write bad checks, we have had her tax liens against our property and I'm sure we've paid a hospital bill or two unknowingly for her. We really have to watch our credit closely because of this.
Yes I later googled for the judge and found out who he was and he is the chief judge of that federal district court and by no means a light-weight either. Actually the jurisdiction thing may be true technically, but there are laws on the federal books that instead o f saying something like "it is legal for anyone in the United States to...." says "it is illegal for anyone to... " we have brought a few back to the US kicking and screeming to face an US court.
no No NO, you don't just go off with the full montey in one fell swoop, you ease into these things like starting out by blocking requests from.gov today, then.mil next week.
Really now, a US court can order a foreign entity around? of course they can, actually I as an individual can do the same; I can shout orders untill I'm blue in the face! The real question is whether a US Court can enforce its orders, talk is cheap.
"An amicus curiae brief that brings to the attention of the Court relevant matter not already brought to its attention by the parties may be of considerable help to the Court" wikipedia Maybe a couple hundred Amicus briefs filed by network and Email administrators all over the world would clue in the court as to the potential deleterious world-wide impact their proposed penalties might bring on international, interstate and intrastate commerce, and not to mention the benefitial effects it would have on illegal activities involve illegal drugs trade and fraud schemes. Hell it could easily be argued that eliminated spamhaus's services would be contary to US National Interests and Security.
While "a district judge is not very high up the judicial foodchain" this particular judge isn't your "typical" district court judge and considering where he is, and the types of cases thrown at his court, he's a lot higher on the food chain than most of his peers at the distric court level. My personal hunch is spamhaus is delighted at his hearing the case, and may have made their "mistake" on purpose. When this whole thing blows up, no US court is going to want to touch a spammer vs. spamhaus case again.
I didn't mean for you to take it so absolutely, any system needs a few adjustments to find it's optimum effiency. Most cattle are fed much extremely high protein low fiber feeds now that they develope digestive problems if they were given an oppertunity to graze.
