This is all well and good, but what about the miscellaneous crap that fills my snail-mail box at home? I'd love to fill out a card at the post office to stop recieving all of that junk, which I never even read (except the Victoria's Secret catalogs). I would think that all of the paper that stuff is printed on consumes a far greater number of natural resources as opposed to spam email.
Don't know about you, but I find it strange that a re-release like this is not available on SACD or DVD-Audio. Especially when Bowie's latest is available on SACD.
I am a bit familiar with DARTMail (actually used the product), and from what I know, it does not use the vast amount of information that DoubleClick has for it's targeting - instead you upload all of your site's registration data, and target based off of that. It allows you to put together different emails for different groups of people, assembling HTML emails like building blocks.
The real murky area (I felt) is that what they do with the information once they have it... Do they integrate it in with their master list, getting even more info? I was assured that would never happen - that all of the info uploaded would be segregated, but I never read (or had access to) any of the fine print.
We use a Sonicwall unit for DHCP/VPN/filter here at work, and it blocks the peacefire.org site with the following codes:Code:abcdefghijkl - 00.C0.F0.48.51.E0 - www.peacefire.org
Here's the breakdown on what those letter codes mean
a = Violence/profanity
b = Partial nudity
c = Full nudity
d = Sexual acts
e = Gross depictions
f = Intolerance
g = Satanic/cult
h = Drug culture
i = Militant/extremist
j = Sex education
k = Gambling/illegal
l = Alcohol/tobacco
Time to let their filter people know about this "oversight"...
And my cable already went out...

...when I got home last night-honestly! Time-Warner is my cable provider. I found it amusing, then threw a Monty Python DVD in.
I think another reply may have covered this, but here's a tidbit from a Critical Reasoning course that Cal State schools require all students to take-quite a good thing actually.
Requiring someone to prove that something does not exist is a logical fallacy, typically called "the burden of proof fallacy". This means that it is faulty resoning to state that your conclusions are valid becuase the cannot be disproved.
I'll second the monitor resolution problem. It's great for use in servers, but for workstations at high resolutions, I experienced a flashing of the screen which was untolerable for more than 2 seconds.
You'll still need your MTV, as a computer is no where near as stimulating to look at as Britney's rack. But perhaps you could also generate the video image to go along with the music... Hmm... imagne the possibilities... Porn stars sing the hits!
