Everyone knows Usenet is full of spam, trolls and people who've never mastered the subtleties of online etiquette. But don't write it off yet. It's still a fantastic place to interact, get technical support, debate the world, share common interests and grab MP3s. Just because it doesn't have a pretty GUI doesn't mean it lacks value. Usenet is the Wild West of the Internet. Use it, respect it and protect it!
Employing Hilary Rosen for this task is shameful. She is the human equivalent of a Weapon of Mass Destruction against Iraqi rights and fair use. Who said this wasn't an occupation?
In early marketing efforts Lindows focused on the ability to seamlessly run Windows application. Post launch product claims in this area are much more conservatively. When, if ever, will the majority of Windows applications run on Lindows?
Despite reading well-intentioned articles on anti-spam measures every week it never seems to translate into anything real. I check my Yahoo, Hotmail and Earthlink accounts and see the old spam every day, it never seems to end. The use of mail filters, blocks and reporting of spam seem to have little effect against the torrent.
It's a cool technology but if it's implemented there would be even more radiation for our brains to absorb.
Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health, State University of New York believes it is likely that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to EMFs. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns "There is reason for concern" and advises prudent avoidance".
Here's an interesting review of Microsoft's 'Hall of
Innovation'. The only accepted nominations so far appear to be
Microsoft Bob and The Talking Paper Clip. How impressive.

The mechanism for voting will have little impact on current apathy. A significant proportion of the country doesn't vote because they have little or no faith in politicians and their constant lies, double standards, corruption and inability to keep promises. Sure, clicking a button will make it easier to vote but you're stilling voting for the same distrustful candidates.
but they clearly don't care about the opinions of the OSS community or the/. crowd. The only things that will put a stop this nonsense is a half-sane judge or lack of legal funds to pursue these ridiculous claims.
The SCO Group has released a Linux server operating system for the
64-bit Intel Itanium processor, the company announced Wednesday.
A SCO Product Manager was quoted as saying "As our main revenue stream
is based on frivolous lawsuits we thought we'd expand further by
deploying a Linux distribution based on a failing server technology -
how could consumers not be tempted by this marriage made in hell?"
In the past few days I've only been able to access the English version of the Aljazeera site for about 5 minutes. While it isn't the best news site out there it is good to mix their propaganda with US propaganda and come to your own conclusions halfway between the two.
I remember the Adelphia service well (in the East SF Valley). If I *only* had 80% packet loss I'd consider it a good day. Thank God I moved out of the area. Sympathies to those of you in that area:)

Let's be realistic now. This venture will no doubt fail, like many before it. Concentration of market power will ensure these little upstarts will be driven out of business. Each new merger and takeover means less choice to the consumer and more power to the oligopolists. The likes of AOL/Time Warner will only get stronger and will progressively censor information they don't approve of.
With all those millions of pounds in taxes stolen from hard working Brits and nothing to spend her money on, I guess it was burning a hole in her pocket. The thought process was something like this...
"I know, I'll spend some of my enormous sums of money on inferior web server software with crap uptime and security holes the size of Fergie's butt".
Man, I'm so proud of her.
Just remember to ensure that you return all postal junk mail that has a return paid envelope back to the sender. Preferably with something it in, like decaying vegatable matter, or worst.
It's just another conspiracy cooked up between the government and the recording industry. You weren't surprised by this decision were you?. We, the little people, don't matter anymore.
Great, another blow to privacy. I suppose other anti-virus companies will follow suit shortly. I guess we all need to dig out our packet sniffers and monitor our connections.

Can we use the same technology to catch Bin Laden and Saddam?

why does he collect this stuff? My personal theory is that he's the proud winner of the 2003 Chronic Masturbater Award. I could be wrong...

But please stop knocking the product just because of it's predecessors.
Oh, okay then. We Linux/*Nix users will suppress our opinions and thoughts, just for you. Happy now?
