  1. example: spam does work. on RFC for Spammers · · Score: 1

    A business associate (insurance) actually reads his spam. If anything computer related gets through he forwards this to me with comments like "This looks like a good idea, can we do this?". I usually send my standard disclaimer "No, this is spam, these people are stealing resources from others to send this to you, do you want to work with people like that?" and let his Christian consuous work on him. Off course he never gets these again, because I block the envelope sender in my badmailfrom file after running them through spamcop. Haven't added the rbl block to qmail, one of these days.

    Anyway, in his mind spam has no meaning. It is just another piece of email to read. I get sick just watching commericals on tv, or that blinking baby banner ad. So for me spam is just another example of how anybody will do anything to get their message in front of consumers. Unlike the phone system it is free to eliminate all spam if you one, run your own mail server and two take the time to block everybody but those you want to send mail too. Me, so many things so little time.

    You offer no proof and you expect us to believe you? Your description of the two programs sounds a bit far fetched and very second hand. In other words, I don't belive you where "there". Perhaps you can offer up some evidence that what you say is true otherwise your post is just what you said about Mr. Gore's reasoning, crap.

  3. Re:My reality with OS/2... on OS/2 Sucessor eComstation Sees The Light Of Day · · Score: 1

    Well, there is your problem. Never use a .0 release of a RedHat product. I'm a confirmed RedHat user and I've always had issues with .0 releases of Redhat (5.0,6.0,7.0). I've never seen any RAM issues on any Linux distributions, but I usually build my own machines to spec after researching what hardware to buy. So, far I'm batting 1.0 on getting Linux to run on anything I've built. P.S. I'm an ex OS/2er and am glad to never go back to that mess, even as stable as it was.

    I believe he answered your question. His response in three words, "We don't care." Anytime you see phrases like "protect the user" and "is conscious of security" without facts to back them up you know the person (or company in this case) couldn't GARA about the subject. Microsoft only cares about protecting its monolopy and until we produce something that rocks the sheep like Microsoft users world, not much will change. If only the melissia virus had done something worthwhile ;)
