I agree but I had heard of $.10 per and the first 1000 per month, per user free. But as a admin, I would dread what this would require. It would end the spam no doubt but this would require other countries to get in on the plan and we all know that a few asian countries cough*korea*cough would ignore the fees and keep them open relays a-humming. For now, "relays.ordb.org, spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com, dun.dnsrbl.net, spam.dnsrbl.net, bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.njabl.org" are doing the fighting for me.
But some believe that your next body will be as you left the earthly one. I already blew it by getting a tattoo. Hoping I can talk my way out of it. Not an organ donor either. Might need all that stuff. It sure looks like a sack of meat but you never know.
The DMCA is bad and wrong and all that. The EFF is just giving a heads-up to the average joe. Tactics aside, you have to look at who has the majorities best interests at heart
"Hi-Speed Media" Those pricks were the first on my access block list. Buying a $29 cd of 100 million old email addresses does NOT mean opt-in but thats what the spammers would like you to believe. Fuck them all
I think that could pass. Great idea. Make sure there are real penalties for non-compliance. Like maybe $500 per email. Not that tough to figure out where this junk is coming from. Just tough to get anybody to do anything about it
PLEASE DO! I hate lawyers but they are sure way to put an end to spam. I say there are 3 kinds of email. 1. stuff you want 2. stuff you forgot to uncheck the "send reminders etc." 3. stuff from dirtbag spammers that is most likely fraud or scam and in no way legitimate.
And 90% of all emails are #3. Lots of defendants. Get started!
This reminds me of another aspect of my 'spam stance' - anyone that claims (in the return address) to be me gets silently dropped.
Yeah, I was getting a few with the From, reply-to, X-sender and To would all be the same recip. I block everything like that. The spams said they were using the "safe-e" mail system (I think thats it. google didn't find it) Postfix is just rejecting the sender. No smtp auth for that sender. Damn those spammers. I also block via/etc/postfix/access any questionable domain that refuses bounces. One monday, I had a queue of 5000 bounces for one domain. I am this close to blocking yahoo and hotmail too. That would cut 40% off my incoming spam.Personally, I get maybe one a week but my hostmaster account gets dozens.
I made an alias "slashdot@whatever" and turned on "show my email" and in one night, I got 4 spams to that address. I look for the harvesters in my www logs and find them daily. This crap is getting outta hand.
Hopefully someone will have the balls to just start serial killing these spammers
I'm getting close. I even track them down and call them to tell them I don't like being spammed. One day, when my bloodsugar is low or I have a headache, I'm sure I'll go on a rampage.
Easy dude...it'll be ok. Alright, probably not but we are a few years away from Soylent Green. The only problem with leaving is that the US is the big dog, eventually US policy affects everybody. Some of these big companies and trade groups are in their death throes, let 'em thrash a bit and they will die out. Hard to believe I am being optimistic about this but I remember when VCR's were going to end the world. About the only knee-jerk prediction that ever came true was that MTV would ruin music.
look, we proved it wasn't made of cheese. and unless they are sending mining robots, there's not a lot to see there. doing this for national pride seems a strange thing to do. they should pitch in and send up some parts for the space station. the plus side is you learn from every shot. also, how long before there is so much orbital debris that sending a ship into orbit is certain doom? more players in the space race means that near-space environmentalism maybe the new cause for students to cry about. just a thought
How old are you? You seem surprised by all this. I miss my youthful optimism. Some dirtbag mba's screwing others over? *GASP* call the reporters! Look, this kind of crap has gone on forever and will continue forever. It's human nature to fuck anything you can that won't fuck you back. Yeah it sucks and it's wrong and all that but it's certainly not new. They are just getting caught and the scale of these frauds has escalated to a new level. A corner office and a secratary with big tits just ain't enough anymore. I know all of you know good and honest people but all the rest are cheats and liars when given a chance. Remember how they said back in the 50's that rock and roll would ruin this country? Something did, not sure what.

I have been fighting those scumbag spammers for years. One day I probably will nut out and go on a hunt. At my trial, I'll make sure the entire jury has net access and my aquital will be certain. I mean how stupid are they to whine to the press about the woes of being a spammer. Fuck them. I wouldn't piss on their children if they were on fire
why does anybody think they could need this crap-o player? I bet you can't even find the download link. Real should just bag it and go make junk for windoze. All these closed formats are a big pain in the ass. wtf is wrong with standards? Just stick with.mpg and live with it.
I hope Wal-mart gets a real plan together and makes this work for the customers. If there is confusion about which software will run on it, they should quit selling windows software. Simple. Not like that is the core of their business or anything. The store demo units are always victims of poor setup and little maintence. They could farm out the maintence to a seperate company. A good working linux setup with a pile of apps will sell itself. Remember, you call it bloated, the consumers call it "feature packed".
I am in favour of anything that hurts M$. My enemy's enemy is my friend.
Manned missions are too risky and costly. We should continue to send robotic missions. I just don't believe at this date we have the technology and resources to make a successful manned mission. Just setting foot on Mars isn't a real goal. We need scientific data, not photo ops.
Besides, I don't feel we should spread the human infestation to other worlds till we have cleaned up the mess we made on Earth. At this point, we haven't earned a second home as a species. I see us as filthy little monkeys who shit where they eat. Why would we want to spread that?
Hmmm, not sure how mine was counted. You tell me. Here's what I sent in.
Any company with this much contempt for the laws of our nation should been taught a lesson. Microsoft's monopoly has hurt the development of computing and created an atmosphere where smaller developers simply give up on projects instead of trying to compete with a company willing to do whatever it takes to beat them for no other reason than to beat them. Microsoft produces products that are full of programming errors and poor security that has cost many companies, schools and government offices millions if not billions of dollars. They are not an asset to this country, they are a cancer. And no settlement that adds to Microsoft's monopoly should be considered.
We setup one of these for our office, it's a godsend. My main point is if I am sending you a resume, no way in hell is it going to be editable. I send pdf's. A native format for OSX. I don't think there is a simple way to create a pdf under linux. Lots of perl and apache methods but I haven't seen a desktop app that can do it. Anybody?
Lemme clear this up as I hear this crap all the time...If Apple supplied the best mouse you could get, third party hardware co's would give up. Apple doesn't want to supply ALL the hardware, thats not practical. If you plug in just about any USB mouse in OSX, 3 buttons and the scroll wheel will work. I like to think that Apple supplied a good backup mouse for when mine breaks.

Actually, that will get me through a pinch. And I'd love a chnace to use it on a spammer and get away with it

Actually, try ground clove across their trails. They hate it. Old country trick
Cruelty to animals is a fucking hoot. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder what the penalty would be if you are 18+ and caught?
Lets just hope they do get caught. Then their names sold to Co$ for mailings and personal visits

wow, mirror site #3 really helped me. Now when I wanna move something to the trash, it just goes there instead of questioning me.
And nobody tried to sell me anything!
You're right about snail mail spam being worse but as long as the gov gets paid to deliver it, they'll keep doing it.
no way
