Finally, in Canada, someone actually questions the music cartels' claims of losses and counters with proof. Nevertheless, the recordable media taxing levy only pays "their" artists. Other unpopular artists won't see a cent, and they may end up paying the taxing levy to record their music to sell.
In the UK, bands can be asked to pay copyright fees to perform their own music live!
With automatic 50% remission for good behaviour he could be up for release after 167 days. If he is eligible for Electronic Tagging he could spend the last 90 days of that at home, serving only 11 WEEKS inside. He could be out before the end of April.
Oh and I had to disable the bayesian filter, it was catching way to many not spam emails. Stuff that didn't have any keywords in it at all. One was just a couple quick sentences from a friend, who knows why it thought it was spam.:( I really should re-enable the bayes stuff, and figure out how to teach it what isn't spam.
Give bayes another chance, it's as accurate as you train it to be. Don't let it mis-learn, feed it roughly equal quantities and it'll amaze you
It's unlikely for a 16 year old burglar to have a weapon but it would not at all difficult for most to get one if they wanted. It's simply a matter of most 16 yr old burglars preferring to buy smack than guns.
The truth is that firearms are only for killing things. Name me something else they're used for?
Better still, stay with the topic here and name me one person who has really died from being shot in a video game.
Games aren't guns, the experience of shooting someone in a game is entirely different to real life. In real life the guy you just railed doesn't say "good shot". In real life you feel fear when facing an armed opponent, in a game you shrug, go for it, and respawn a few seconds later.
I think people need to get straight that game violence is the same level as violence in kids cartoons. It's joke violence, it doesn't even look real
SPEWS hurts people who give money to spam supporting ISPs, they're only innocent until they find out they're listed.
If someone posts a timescale for moving out of listed space, SPEWS has been known poke a temporary hole in a listing for them. This indicates that they don't want to block real innocents, just people who give financial support to spammer-friendly ISPs.
Spammers are also hurting innocents by bombarding everyone with spam in an attempt to force a party totally unconnected to the victims to accede to their wishes.
You want a terrorist analogy? Spammers are terrorists, spam friendly ISPs are obviously terrorist umbrella organizations, and your 'innocents' are financial sponsors of terrorism.
The truth of the matter is that SPEWS is just a consumer boycott by people with a different definition of innocent to yours.
If someone is knowingly giving money to a spam support isp, being a customer, allowing that spam support isp to be bigger and therefore harder to deal with, then that person is a spam supporter too.
With all those choices it's difficult to know what to use, probably safest to just call it after its inventor, it's not a restroom or a toilet, it's a crapper!
If it comes by email, unsolicited, and bulk, then how is it not spam?
Maybe your definition of spam is just viagra and porn ads, but to me and a lot of other people it's Unsolicited Bulk Email, which is exactly what this virus is doing.
the crippled SpamAssassin did pretty damn good though.
I don't think it's totally unfair to run SpamAssassin with the bayes disabled in these tests, a lot of people run it that way in the real world, especially on mail gateways where no provision has been made for training & retraining.
We just need to remember that on every score for SpamAssassin in those tests, it can do a lot better. I've heard good things about a few of the others, but SpamAssassin's nothing short of a miracle here, 2 false negatives and one false positive last month on approx 54K messages.
SpamAssassin is used in quite a few of the commercial offerings, it can also filter before passing on for internal delivery. I'd guess that one or two of the others can too, it's not difficult
They can't possibly defend so many at once, they'd be in a hundred different courtrooms on any given day, they'd need to be paying hundreds of lawyers, they'd be stretched so thin they'd break.
It's not a case of being anti-business per se, more of recognizing that some businesses are getting tax breaks for things which do more harm than good, and tax breaks being given to businesses where they should not. The businesses represented there being a selection of examples, I believe.
For example: The bar. I agree completely. Just because alcohol is the government approved drug doesn't mean it isn't a drug, so the barkeeper is in reality a legitimatized drug dealer! How many people killed by drunk drivers? More than all other violent crime put together, and that's just one aspect of the sale of alcohol.
I'm not advocating the banning of alcohol, I don't believe in banning things, but the example is the government subsidizing a drug dealer when it could be helping people who need help.

11 months IS a slap on the wrist.

Reiserfs is working just fine on this AMD64, and has been for months.

i managed 1/150,000 a few weeks ago, it's getting there.
For the love of GNU, stay out of this. Do not let SCO drag you or any other OSS advocates into court.
Somehow I doubt SCO could represent themselves in so many different courts simultaneously, they'd need tens of thousands of lawyers.
Distributed Destruction of SCO, sounds good to me
I guess you aren't from my part of the UK.

Is this a game of how close we can get to godwin without actually saying the german housepainter guy's name?
There are more Open Source companies than there are SCO. If everyone who could sue SCO did, they would need more lawyers than they can afford.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of lawyers harassing SCO

Unfairly blacklisted?
If someone is knowingly giving money to a spam support isp, being a customer, allowing that spam support isp to be bigger and therefore harder to deal with, then that person is a spam supporter too.
so how is blocklisting spam supporters wrong?
With all those choices it's difficult to know what to use, probably safest to just call it after its inventor, it's not a restroom or a toilet, it's a crapper!
Don't assume this never happens, the Rolls Royce Silver Mist had a similar problem in Germany

bouncing spam is spamming, I do hope you meant reject otherwise you're just another spammer yourself.
hitting the delete key once a second for 2 hours a day is a little tiresome
Of course it's the best way.
Thousands of lawsuits, all happening at once.
They can't possibly defend so many at once, they'd be in a hundred different courtrooms on any given day, they'd need to be paying hundreds of lawyers, they'd be stretched so thin they'd break.

So how long before we're being offered the opportunity to vote for the generic viagra party?

English and American should be treated as two separate languages. Spelling is only part of it, so many things have completely different meanings.
Example. If I 'roll a fag' I make a cigarette from tobacco and rolling papers, what about you?
Let America have it's own language it can be proud of, maybe this 'embrace and extend' of our fine English language can stop.
