I can only speak of own experiences.. lots of swedish companies register.com addresses and even those.nu addresses. The reason to that is that "nu" is "now" in english. So "http://tv.nu" is read as "TV Now". Oh, you got the point?:-)

Yeah, but these new "larger" ads are of standardized sizes which I doubt the full screen porn ads are.
After reading the article, you'll also see that they're not really that much larger as in area covered, but thinner while being longer or taller to fit top of pages better.
It's not like they're planning to give us 1000x500 ads. Yet.
The number is the subject of numerous books -- from "The Joy of Pi" to "Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure" -- and has fascinated and confounded mathematicians for centuries.
Sir Cum-ference? Ewww... I wonder why the weird mathematicans got "fascinated":-P
Hm.. Doesn't replying to spam usually put you on 10 more spam lists? I suppose you'll get a tremendous amount of spam (even if all are "filtered" through whitelists) after a while... Doesn't seem like the best solution to me. I'd rather prefer using SpamNet like today and avoid around 75% of all spam, and not make my address public in its "non obfuscated" form.
You say that you need to go through all automated mails in the bulk folder and then I wonder what you gain on putting them there?
Didn't see what was so funny with that post and had to check out if it was a class D address in the multicast address space (looked suspicious), but it was actually a class E (first octet 240 to 248) which are all reserved for future/experimental use. So I thought "all right then... funny haha", but didn't think it was *that* funny.
you only specify who you want to receive email from, and don't receive any other mail.
That would be a start!
Yeah, a pretty bad start, since it would take away most reasons you leave out your e-mail address; to let people you don't know contact you.
If we have to start whitelisting people to make e-mail usable, we have clearly lost the battle against spammers, since it would make e-mail much less usable than it is today.
It's not that off-topic since I guess the question is valid for the topic of the SF movie as well, since it's the same word.:)
I'm pronouncing the 'a' in 'solaris' as the 'a' in 'car'. But I guess that's because I'm from Sweden and it's the natural pronouncation over here. I've not heard one person here saying the word otherwise, anyway.;-)

Yikes, I can spot more than a few well-known groups in that list from the good ol' Amiga days. Spaceballs, Silents, Sanity, TRSI, Cryptoburners, Mahoney & Kaktus all ring a bell to me even if I'm not even following the demo scene that well. =)
Hm.. Would be nice if there were some pictures of those classic groups somehere.:-/

Personally, I'm settling for a dot com address.
Hmm, now which one should I pick...
http://www.wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.com/ ? Dang, taken.
http://www.asdfg.com/ ? Arrgh... Taken again.
http://www.unuseddomain.com/ ? Nope. Taken.
http://www.linuxxp.com/ Taken...
http://slashdot2.com/ ? Yay! Free!

Makes it easier to write ad blocking software when the ad sizes are standardized. :-)
Yeah, but these new "larger" ads are of standardized sizes which I doubt the full screen porn ads are.

So much work to get a tidy Google-lookalike copy and the "similar pages" doesn't even work:

I thought that URL looked funny..
The computer department I'm part of hasn't taken backups for around a year and we have recently restarted the backup procedures.

Everyone is thinking their projects has been backed up regularly at least once a week or so.
I think we'll just keep quiet about that.

That's rare indeed.
It's neither on isonews.com, nforce.nl or vcdquality.com so I guess it's 99% likely to be a fake or released just hours ago. :-/
Send each consumer a *green* pair of those things to compensate.
Perhaps then the movie will become 3D too!
No, wait...

Japan vs. Disney: Spirited Away DVD lawsuit (articles,anime) (rejected)

You were forgetting that titles with "Strike Back" in them have always had a special meaning to nerds.
I think Hayao Miyazaki didn't notice the problem with the red tint in his movie for obvious reasons. ;-)
I read your list and it's, like, beep beep beep, and then, like, I saw it was missing Ellen Feiss. And I was like, nnnhh?
It's kind of...
A bummer.
I sense some schizophrenia here...
Topic: Yeah, but does it play Ogg?

Hm? Or am I wrong and you want a beowulf cluster of earth-sized Ogg players?
Uuh.. Well, if it's not Europe, which is it part of then?
