A lot of people are shouting that the headers must be forged, but there's a better reason why you get spam from yahoo.com: poor passwords. A couple of months ago, someone had cracked my dictionary-word Yahoo! Mail password and was using it to send e-mail from my account. The "Returned to Sender" e-mails were eating up tons of my quota.
Although I don't use my Yahoo! account for any useful purpose right now, I'd rather not be blacklisted for sending mass mailings. I changed my password, and the mail stopped.
Maybe Yahoo! should require its users to have good passwords -- although password policy is the only thing more controversial than spam around here.
Lisa looks at Comic Book Guy's shirt reading "C:\DOS / C:\DOS\RUN / RUN\DOS\RUN". She reads it aloud. Lisa: Only one person in a million would find that funny. Frink: Yes, we call that the "Dennis Miller ratio." M'hey.
I'm intrigued -- I own a New Beetle as well, and have been thinking about adding MP3 playback capability for those long trips through Pennsylvania. However, the player at that link looks like it's just the circuit boards. What sort of enclosure did you use? Where did you mount it? How does it connect to the stereo?
Also, I'm assuming you have the standard (non-Monsoon) head unit. Any quirks I should know about?
On my Yahoo! Mail account, I had a dictionary word as my password for years. A few months ago, I noticed that instead of spam, my inbox was getting filled with weird "Message undeliverable" and "Message returned to sender" messages, along with a few that just said "remove." After a little investigating, it turns out that someone had cracked my simple mail password and was using my account to send spam out en masse. Once I changed my password to something harder to crack, the flow of messages stopped.

Business 2.0 is one of many magazines owned by Time Warner Publishing (along with, Time, Entertainment Weekly, and more). Since AOL and Time Warner are one and the same, the whole content delivery rig was moved onto an AOL-hosted server.
It's a nice proposition that Slashdot has knocked down an AOL server, but those servers have keeled over and died plenty of times in the past without our help.:)

Although I'm sure this PDA is highly "advanced" for a "Windows" "Operating System," it still can't hold a candle to my trusty old Apple Newton MessagePad 2000. Allow me to summarize the advantages of my *real* handheld over this so-called "Fujitsu" "PDA".
My Apple Newton MessagePad 2000 has real handwriting recognition, whereas Micro$oft Winblows CE (note clever use of subliminal imagery) does not. Learn a new handwriting scheme? No thanks, Billy-Bob. (That's a reference to Bill Gates, Chairman of Micro$oft (not "Microsoft."))
My Apple Newton MessagePad 2000 has a PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) slot for easy expansion, whereas those dolts at "Fu" "jitsu" didn't put one in to their so-called "innovative" "PDA." Nice try, guys. While you're listening to "digital music", I'll be surfing the Internet using a real web browser and getting e-mail on a large screen.
I am boycotting Micro$oft, but I am not boycotting Apple. Another plus for me!
In short, please do not support these so-called "advancements" in "technology." My Newton is all the PDA that any user could ever need. If you think otherwise, I should LART you with my clue stick!
What, you mean like the Rex PDA? They were credit-card sized, but they never caught on in part due to poor marketing and difficult text entry. Early Rexes didn't even have any text entry: you had to type things in on your PC and synchronize it later.
And by the way, the Rex is dead. Of course, if you really want to fuck around with one, you can buy it on the secondhand market. Who knows? Maybe you'll start blindly advocating it over other PDAs with a dismissive swipe of your hand, like the wackos we get around here.
God damn, RevAaron, your Newton evangelism is growing tiresome. The poster was trying to make a joke (and failing miserably, might I add) by noting that the physical unit "pound" is equal to about 4.5 Newtons. Don't believe me? Good. It's actually equal to 4.448222 newtons.
Now go back to your 6.22-Newton brick you call "portable," continue to embrace something that died years ago (isn't that called necrophilia?) and please stop posting to Slashdot from now on.
If you don't want the camera, then don't buy the NR-70V. The NR-70, from the Japanese site mentioned earlier, has no camera and costs ¥10,000 (about US$74) less than the NR-70V. All the other specs are the same.
And if you don't want the MP3 player, then drop another ¥10,000 and get the PEG-T600C (PEG-T615C in the US; PEG-T625C in Europe) instead.
Palm OS devices, Pocket PC devices, and Psion devices can all surf the web using wired or wireless networks (with extra hardware, just like your Newton). What's more, you can actually buy a brand-new, supported Palm OS or Pocket PC device right now that supports these features, and it will be small enough to fit into a shirt pocket. Many even have color screens. Compare that to your oversized "handheld."
I swear, you Newton advocates are about as lame as Amiga users nowadays. When you say "I admit I'm largely ignorant," you couldn't be more right.
There was no "wipe in" transition. The effect was caused by the projector's input rapidly switching resolutions, and the projector's inability to adjust immediately to the new resolution. Try changing resolutions on an old monitor -- you get the same effect. I actually broke an old monitor by switching resolutions too often.
If you check the official Chuck Jones website, right-click has been "disabled" with a javascript warning that his site is protected by copyrights.
Instead of right-clicking, you could use the little context-menu-key on your keyboard. You know that key -- no, not the Windows key -- to the right of your space bar? That's it. Press it.
If you don't have one, you may be able to get away with hitting SHIFT-F10 to bring up context menus as well. Note that if you want to bring up the context menu on a link, TAB over to it until a dotted-line box appears around it.
I'm in West Wing. I know we get plenty of folks reading Slashdot -- especially during lecture thanks to our wireless network. This isn't even the first story about CMU (or a student thereof) on Slashdot's front page: Tom7's guide to breaking your computer has been there, I submitted a story about the Bill Joy synthetic interview back in 2000, and of course we made news when our beloved sysadmin pulled the plug on 70+ users for sharing MP3s.
So according to the issue of RISKS Digest, this third-party program called "Ladarvision" kept on throwing very odd error messages internal to the program, and the tech was trained to hit RETURN. How is this Microsoft's fault?
Windows 95 is pretty stable if you use it as a single-tasking OS. I mean, there are still point-of-sale systems running DOS, and that provides just slightly less memory protection than Windows 95 does. Just don't blame the OS vendor for a shoddily-written third-party program.
