That's an NT BSOD. Happens with monotonous regularity on my Compaq at work, usually if I'm trying to use IE a lot.
You get a different one with Win9x, although the lethal one is a dialog saying 'An illegal error has occurred in IEXPLORE.EXE. Press Close or Retry to continue' after which your are, in technical language fucked. (Although in Australia, you are only fubbed, due to censorship.)

In most parts of the world outside the USA, people pay hourly or per minute rates for internet access.
This is why us funny foreigners have very little time for USAn 'free speech' wibble from spammers.
Spammers *cost* *me* *money*! They are a net drain on my pocketbook. I have to *PAY* to find out about illegal moneymaking schemes, cheaper long distance carrier inside the US, etc.
Spammers are thieves. Stop them stealing from everyone.
damn straight. complain to every likely suspect in the spam. ebay auctions? websites? shut the lot down.
People living in the mainland of the USA might be able to complain to their telco and get 0800 (freefone) numbers shut down, you may want to check. spam is pretty equivalent to telemarketing, and telemarketing freefone numbers may be against an AUP.
It's nothing to do with eBay. Complain to their ISPs that they're violating the newsgroup charter by posting commercials. Try and get them yanked from their ISPs. Sounds like a very clear case of a breach of AUP to me. dave
Spam to your reply-to: address? I've been using a throwaway From: address and a site-specific reply-to: for a few years now and have *NEVER* got any spam to the reply-to:. Nothing, nada, zilch. The From: address gets deluged with crap. Also, having a real email address diaplyed on/. seems to provoke spam from home.com.
Yeah, that sendmail daemon running freaked me out the first time I booted up my OpenBSD box as well. Almost everything else in the install is turned off - generally you have to switch things on after figuring them out (It's a great learning process).
Jesus' real name was Jeshua ben Joseph. He's a reasonably well documented preacher of the particular part of the roman empire. There's some speculation that 'he' may in fact be an amalgamation of several preachers, although this is based on the fact that several very different temperaments are displayed in the gospels and related works in other religions.
Yes but, *you* sign up for a mailing list. If you don;t like the volume, you can filter everything from that list or just unsubscribe. You don't sign up for spam, you can't just unsubscribe, you can't always filter it out. You pay the cost of receiving it, both in terms of disk space used and on-line costs. It is *NOT* a free speech issue. It does not occur in a public place, it occurs on *MY* property, at *MY* expense, on *MY* time. Spammers are cowardly thieves, nothing more.
To answer your question, there are two main reasons why this shouldn't be done. 1: Copyright could be infringed on the pages being cached 2: Many sites get their revenue from click throughs and banner ads. If/. mirrors the info, are they going to mirror the banner ads as well?
I believe that RMS has a tame lawyer who has reviewed this. I believe that the lawyer in question is in fact a professor of law at a major east coast university.

Well, how about nominating MS for the RBL for 'services to spammers' if merely installing a service pack give you open relays?

It's not the specs which are missing. The tooling to make one doesn't exist anymore and would have to be rebuilt.

Businesses harrass each other all the time, so no monopoly there. Don't like your curent harasser? It's a free market, go piss someone else off!
As for shooting people of different religious beliefs, that appears to be a major world growth industry, with plenty of room for growth yet.

Not necessarily - it could be implemented at a proxy server level:
Proxy returns error 666: Site Full of Filth
Go there anyway?
No, I am pure of heart

Heh, it said 'filth', huh huh. *snicker*

Lord, I read Feersum Endjinn and then Trainspotting (I. Welsh) directly after. I couldn't spell properly for weeks and picked up a scottish accent.
Be warned!
Seriously, though, Inversions is pretty good, but the best of the culture books has to be Use Of Weapons.

'No right to remain silent' just means that your decision not to talk can be used against you.
