The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment for the victim. If spammers are put to sleep, we will see no justice.
Why don't we lock the convicted spammers in a padded room with a television set to display an endless stream of infomercials, commercials, and religious programming with no way to turn it off? Better yet, we can have a pay-per-view 24/7 webcam focused on the spammer shackled to the wall that is subjected to this treatment. The webcam page can have pushbutton forms to impliment things such as water-drip torchure, the pneumatic ram punching glove hit him in the stomach gag, release one starved and abused lab rat, and other inventive buttons...
I think spammers should be kept alive for humanitarian reasons such as these. They would benefit the world with stress research and the mentioned entertainment possibilities.
A jet engine? Here's something close. A quick high performance mod you should consider to your cooling fan is the 30,000rpm enhancement. What you need is a typical power supply cooling fan and a 30,000rpm dremel tool. You know where this is going...
Take the power supply fan and remove the c-clip holding the shaft. This clamp is hidden behind the manufacturer's sticker and can be removed with a pick. Pull the fan from the motor and note that the shaft fits right into the dremel tool. Good for +100mph blasts. The pull is very strong, so it might be a good idea to mount the beast securely.
If *that* wasn't enough, the jet speed mod is to increase the fan speed far above 30,000rpm's. Simply weaken the field current to the dremel's motor. This increases the motor's magnetic slip; even though available torque is reduced, its speed can be increased to the point of self destruction. Since its air cooled, why worry about the motor overheating?
I forgot to mention, its a good idea to remove the heavy magenet from the fan. If the assembly breaks due to forces generated, there may be significant property damage and bodily injury.
Do we really need/. to let us know when a kernel is released?
YES! Its more fun to watch a mob try to pick at it, rip it apart, and maul the latest tarball in a public pit of interrogation. Its great to see open source build strength and character amid the assault.
Everyone knows a kernel that isn't exposed to the elements will be weak, whereas one that faces the full challenges of nature will grow to be strong and fertile for the next generation.
I was hoping to read it as 2 million lashes. Except these lashes wouldn't be served automatically by a script, but administered by real people who just don't like spam.
lack of an atmosphere, the threat of explosion is much, much lower.
I would imagine the lack of an atmosphere would make an explosion magnitudes more catastrophic if one of these uncontrollable combustion processes did occur. Think of our dense atmosphere as a shield of mass and that also acts as a baffle.
In space, a wall of a high speed massive plasma striking an object with nothing to baffle it on the other side might cause total destruction through a shearing effect. Also expect contact with the energy release to charge said object with resonant oscillations, which may exceed tensile strength of its structure and cause massive failure.
An explosion with no atmosphere may be quite spectacular around man made structures. When a structure is built for lightweight conditions, it is already flimsy by our standards. There would be absolutely nothing left of it when the slightest mishap occurs.
Its worse than that. Op amps can easily be built from discrete transistors. ADC's from discrete components are a basic lab project in an electrical engineering course. Go to school and its just one of the time honored things to learn. This was even before fast computers were a threat to the Industry.
So, they'd need to put copyright controls on every three pin silicon junction device. Now *that* is going to be an engineering miracle.
I predict a future when every person is going to learn a little bit more about basic electronics to fight back for basic communication rights. Either that, or we will be reduced to copying musical works with smoke signals.
I saw the name and thought it was a flying version of the x-10 wireless camera...
No, you would see pop-under missiles and visions of pretty women posing for your attention for perhaps just a second before the bright flash of light. Just like those invasive X10 cameras, live video would be taken just up until this bright flash for others to see your reaction on CNN.
Please explain how an aspiring artist would NEED Photoshop?
Everyone has to have an edge on their peers. People have an affinity towards the fastest CPU, the fastest cars, the snazziest graphics programs, the largest monitors, smallest notebooks, fastest cars, and the list of snobby features goes on ad nauseum.
Its a perfect economic model. Greed from consumers leak dozens of stolen software products into work, lobbing from the companies introduces disruptive crackdown laws, and lawyers to fan the flames of the battle.
Piracy may be a thing of the past soon. Free software has the whole piracy battle fascinating to watch. Its not like writing complex software is difficult anymore: especially now that have GHz processors, massive storage space, and unheard of bandwidth that allows gentoo and BSD installations coexist with the source code.
This encourages rapidly insane development times and bug fixes. Even non-programmers like me can fix a bug: anyone can browse through the code and follow the flow to the trouble and submit a patch. Its easier than ever before and kids are picking up on this too. People want control of their computers. It helps them create a virtual playground of intriguing possiblities.
Soon there may no longer be "piracy" as the masses learn to develop for themselves and the community around them. Such efforts seem to create superior technologies that are developed behind closed doors. Bye, bye Photoshop!
Because the more open source catches on, the less programmers will be paid.
Troll. I tell you what, why don't we go ahead and give out free software and have the government pay to keep unemployed programmers happy. Its called welfare, but this sad story won't happen. Know why?
Times change and people change with it. In the old days when the auto came about, most of the horse and buggy manufacturers and families moved into much more profitable areas. Likewise, programmers with their tremendous analytical skills will have no problems adapting their careers into more lucrative positions.
I am curious what is included with that source code. Do they include every application and driver with their distribution? Everything or just the core components?
Do they also promptly release code with their service packs and hotfixes for reliability testing? Can the customer compile their operating system like gentoo linux? Is this option even available or what other restrictive and expensive measures does the customer have to pay for?
No, just the levels of copyright controls will increase. Along with the user's blood pressure that has to deal with the "commercial software" that the MPAA kindly provided.
So you mention communisim. We must first define it. What is it? A government sponsored economy? Such as protection bought by the RIAA and MPAA so we can have manufactured music by the "industry?"
Free software is about as democratic as your going to get in society. Else you have a oppressive government and their owners deciding what rights the common citizen has.
During layoffs, my dad held a fun job as a dance instructor for Aurther Murray at the time and place. He was fortunate to be 15 feet from the skywalks when they collapsed and described it as very sickening when they fell:
the water lines for the fire system were also a part of the skywalk: they had enough delivery to flood the floor with a foot of standing water and blood. The smell of the blood was described as intolerable and required frequent trips outside for fresh air.
Firefighters used anything they could to get people who were still alive and screaming out of the rubble and other bodies that were in the way.
Needless to say, all high profile engineering projects in Kansas City after the Hyatt disaster had at least the appearance of major overengineering. Just look at Bartle Hall and those ugly looking statues on top of massive looking pylon supports for an example.
Why are the courts dismissing the majority of evidence in the cases against Microsoft? I'm sure people have ruined their careers volunteering to be whistle-blowers. Yet it seems the most damning evidence against unethical business practices have been dismissed, allowing it to complete its plans for a monopoly.
Are these lawsuits a waste of time and money? Why don't we just give Microsoft the Whitehouse and the United Nations?
Surely this site that preaches Intellectual Property (tm) have some content on their site. Perhaps I haven't been looking in the right directories or ports, such as ftp, etc...

If Comcast was the US Government, they would penalize the average user by restrictive caps and charge them more.
Only in the good old USA, the warez and pr0n users would get free service!

So will the quality of picture increase...?
No, just the levels of copyright controls will increase. Along with the user's blood pressure that has to deal with the "commercial software" that the MPAA kindly provided.
mpaa.com that is link to in the header seems to be a legitimate business, but mpaa.org is the cartel we seem to be concerned with.
.com and .org domain rules where .org's are supposed to be "non-profit!"
So much for the internic's rule of

Settlement 15.5 Million
I'm sure that was part of the business plan behind all this. It was a cheap way to get perhaps $100,000,000 of customers hooked (at least!)
So, AOL won this case for a small price.
If you don't like the judge, appeal or sue again!
The courts will take your money to file another case.

Time to start looking...
That's all newsguy and the other binariez hostz are for, gets warez. Don't LIE! dumass
All the action packed multimedia you will ever need:
alt.binaries.pictures.motorcycles.sportbike
Zero budget films shot locally rule. All else is warez and pr0n for the PFY's.
Pessimists... you need to consider the advantages of a Microsoft car:
your car would seek out and destroy the competition.
the hood would be welded shut. No worrying about it ending up at the chop shop for parts.
its sheer size will trump any SUV on the road today.
