    No, that's why when manufacturers decide not to issue a recall, they strong-arm thier victims into settlements with non-disclosure clauses.

    Leviticus 11 says hares chew cud, but do not have cloven hooves, and therefore are not kosher.

    Hares, for the record, do not have cloven hooves, but also do not chew cud.

    Like some other small herbivorous mammals they do produce a cud chewing like motion that may have fooled some Jews not quite so learned in the ways of science.

    Inconvenient fact if you're a Christian.

  8. Destroy the Evidence? on Shakedown: How the Business Software Alliance Operates · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't really know much about the way these sorts of things work, but while the legal dispute rages, couldn't you take advantage of the delay and destroy the evidence?

    Utilities for wiping the contents of PCs matching and exceeding requirements for security in the Department of Defense are freely availible, so I'm thinking, why not just delete your habeas corpus such that no investigators will ever be the wiser?

    Of course, destroying evidence might also be a crime, but you could always destroy whatever evidence might have proved that you destroyed evidence.

    And so infiniditum...

    I'd say that 'addiction' to EverQuest is more of a symptom than a disease, but putting text[words] into someone's post[mouth] and then attacking them isn't the way to debate.

    What is that? I haven't been playing games long enough to know. It looks kind of like a rubber ducky. Also, what are all the dots around it? Are they a part of it?

    I'm just curious, it bothers me when I can't see things.

    Don't think of it as bad vision, think of it as bio-hardware-accelerated antialiasing.

  19. Re:It's pretty fair... on Yahoo To Try To Charge For POP3 Services · · Score: 2

    I was using GeoCities free POP3 E-mail service. Then Yahoo! acquired GeoCities.

    The rollover went smoothly.

    A few months later I was asked to sign up for Yahoo! Delivers, that's what they call thier POP3 service, in order to continue accessing my E-mail via POP3. They ask you to check this box in your user preferences that says you agree that Yahoo! may send advertisments to you via E-mail, and in exchange you may use their service via POP3.

    I checked the box, eventually abandoned my GeoCities E-mail. After GeoCities became a part of Yahoo!, all GeoCities E-mail was only forwarded to the new address. I never, however, received any of the mail Yahoo! asked for my permission to deliver. Maybe this was because of my special transfer situation.

    I'd imagine, if there were any ads, people using their client software to block the ads might have been a problem.

    As for me, NetTaxi still offers free POP3 access. For the time being.
