Hah strangely I joined up with this company because they WEREN'T spamming. There are no pop-ups on the site, there are very few ads. What we offer is unlike anything else on the web. We offer 5 minute long clips supported by only 15 sec of commercial and a banner!
The companies that wanted to spam were in SEO and selling Tickets.
I don't know about everyone else but lately I've been trying to find work and I have come across atleast 4 opportunities to make 1.5 times my normal rate if I do some development related to spam. Each time I've interviewed I've told the employer that spam was a bad way to go and that it'd be illegal soon etc... but it seems like they've all had past experiences where spam has been highly profitable.

My latest endeavour... truly free porn www.NeoX3.com 5 mins movies supported by only a 15 sec commercial. No-popups or membership or catches.
It's relatively cheap and a small team can make a great CG animation. This will allow more ideas/dreams to be realized and probably will allow Disney to make much more money since they can have many CG animations being created at the same time and just pick which one is best for Theatres and release the rest on DVD/VHS.

You do understand that children are human and that like all humans they are creative in finding solutions to problems. Problems like a fence getting in their way of swim time. You can not watch a child 24/7. You have to sleep, and you have to go to the bathroom. Ofcourse you can teach your kids but kids don't always listen.
I agree with the other poster that 911 is like insurance. It's there just in case.
Also things happen that are out of your control (ie: my little sister had a seizure in the middle of the night during a summer camp... ). 911 is absolutely needed, I don't you anyone but you would have it any other way... and thats probably because you're too young to know what its like to have a family and children to worry about all the time.
Wow are you retard or do you just play one on/.? I'd like to see you say the same thing when you child accidentally falls in the pool or slips and hits her head. Hmm or someone breaks into your house and you're locked in a room with only a phone to save you.
Natural Selection only works in nature. Things like inability to cope with changing environment is natural selection.
I agree... I go there all the time to get oldies-but-goodies for my Xbox and GC. Heh, I bought a game for $6 once (Agressive Inline) which I played more than a game I bought for $50 (Mech Assault). I also use their GamePass thing and rent games for as long as I want for $20/month. Its nice because sometimes you feel like playing a party game (when friends come over) but other times you feel like playing a single-player game like an RPG.
seriously.. it was just meant as mindless shooting fun. No seriousness or anything out-of-character. Pretty world with lots and lotsa of monsters and lotsa and lots of ammo. Good sound effects (I can still hear the damn suicide bombers or the horse-like-skeletons comming at me from behind).
Serious Sam is a game most would spend 10 hours on. 10 hours over its entire life not in beating the game.
Anyway the game was just meant to be silly and mindless fun, and I think it succeeded in that.
And that seems to be a huge problem considering about 85% of the world runs Windows...
When was the last time you used a java application in Windows? Me? Almost never.. only java app I used was the IDE to write some Java for a friend's class.
I've also not used any 3rd party.NET applications other than the ones I've written and components for applications I've written.
Also, there are many sites out there using ASP.NET Websites and Web Services that you can get to with any OS and any browser. Same with Java though right?
So what exactly is your point or for that matter anybody's point in this entire thread? 2 different tools. A developer focused on Windows would never use Java, a developer focused on Multi-Platform would never use.NET. A developer focused on the web would use whatever is best suited for their current project.
This entire discussion is pretty "Ignorant". Best tool for the Job. Java and.NET are not competitors because they focus on different markets/developers.
Is the RSA also going to start selling Tin Foil Hats? I don't think these devices would even be remotely practical for another 3-4 years when RFID's will be prevalent.
Maybe because you've only played for an hour... I've played 4 hours the other day and its a bit boring because you don't have any neat weapons or abilities. You don't have party members to control etc.
That seems kind of silly though... RIAA can just hire anyone to get an AOL account or a NetZero account or something and find these same people.
I really like the Lite software but I think that feature is total bullshit... it makes absolutely no sense. The only way to stop RIAA from getting who you are is by using FreeNet or something like that.
very well put, albeit with a few typos, though I can see how this game can be seen as propaganda. U.S. was dammed if they did and damned if they didn't on the whole Iraq thing. Either the U.S. let Saddam make a fool of it or ignore the rest of the world and take out Saddam. I am pleased because they took the "kicking-ass" solution because to tell you the truth, I'd rather those people be "free" than making France and the rest of the world happy. I put free in quotes because no one is really free, but they are more free then they used to be. They now have an opportunity to do something with their lives, whether or not they choose to is their problem. Just like in the U.S., you can be a bum or you can be a CEO, there is very little distinction between a bum and a CEO at child birth.
That said, I wish the U.S. would put the government in place and a governing board to overwatch the government/police/etc so they don't abuse any their powers for a little while. The longer the U.S. is there, the more U.S. casualties we will have and I'd rather not see that. I have a lot of respect for those in the armed forces and I know right now they are completely defenseless.
BTW I grew up under an oppressive regime (Romania), so I know that things will suck for a little while in Iraq until people get used to the thought of being "free". Trust me, living an okay life under an oppressive regime where anything you say might be considered as an act of treason and punishable by death, is much worse than living in a life where the only barrier to your happiness is yourself.
before they got taken off of the website. I think the GBA backup device is awsome. I admit to trying games before I buy them, especially when my little brother wants a new game. I download the game onto the cart let him play with it, if he likes it tell my parents to buy it for him. This way, he doesn't waste my parents money by buying games he will never play. Almost half of his GB collection he didn't play more than 2-3 days because the games sucked.
Just like with all technology, there are good uses and illegal uses. Everything from pencils to guns can be used for good or "evil". Banning devices like this is retarded because the backup device really has good uses (I'm not saying mine is a legal use, I guess it should be but I understand it is not), but there is a rather large community of homebrew developers making games and other applications for the GBA that depend on the backup device to run their code (well they can run their code in emulators, but its just much cooler to do it on an actual GBA).
Anyway, this sucks... I don't think its Nintendo's fault, I think it's the judge's fault. Nintendo just wants to make more money, can't blame them for trying especially since there are many people using the backup devices for pirating.
Heheheh I guess the comment count fits this story. I doubt anyone will ever see this post so they won't notice that I ruined the perfect number for this story.
8 gigs of tunes from the Apple iTunes store? You just spent $8,000 on music? I thought this restriction was for stuff that you bought from their store, not for songs you already have in MP3/OGG/Whatever.
By having links to your site in someone else's logs that are visible through a browser. It creates a LINK from YOUR site to the SPAMMER site. Therefore inflating their google score. I had a client as me what I thought about this idea and I told him that it was underhanded and a bad idea, so he didn't pay the money to do it.
Okay... MOST games will be free to play... I don't expect MMORPGs to be Free.. you pay for the new content in them..
But I do have a free matchmaking, voice support, updates for most of the games... thats more than PS2 since it lacks hardware to do a lot of what I just said.
Hahahaha Two Biggest Developers!!.. Hahaha... Sega 2K serious is far superior to EA sports games, and Eidos... who the hell cares about Tomb Raider Online...
I agree with one of the posters before when he said that this is stupid because EA and Eidos will not make online games like they say they will. By not supporting Xbox where every sports game HAS TO HAVE Live support, they don't have to code multiplayer in all their games.
Unless you count the expense of the Hard Drive and the Broadband adapter... both which are impossible to get for the PS2 (the hard drive is not even out in the US and probably never will be)... that means EA and all PS2 only developers are coding features that only a sliver of the market will use.
On the Xbox, developers know the consumer has an ethernet card and a harddrive already, so they feel more comfortable coding features that will make use of those even though the consumer might not have XBox live.
Besides, what do you think a kid is more likely to want to say... "Hey Mom and Dad, can I have $150+ for an addition to my $200 PS2?" or "Hey Mom & Dad, can I get $10/month to play games online?... the first year is free."

Google search for: how to replace a washer in a leaky faucet
All links on first page are extremely relevant. Like this link: http://az.essortment.com/fixaleakyfauc_rera.htm which is 1st on the list.

k-lite.tk is the official website of Kazaa Lite K++
That seems kind of silly though... RIAA can just hire anyone to get an AOL account or a NetZero account or something and find these same people.
I really like the Lite software but I think that feature is total bullshit... it makes absolutely no sense. The only way to stop RIAA from getting who you are is by using FreeNet or something like that.
www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa was on the list... that has to be like atleast 500-1000 people who just left their Kazaa Lite name default.
So at least there's some suspense still for the K-Lite users.
