Ok, your honor, we'd like you to submerge you in this tank of water and seal it shut. For you see, the ability to breath is going to be difficult, but that does not mean it is not present.
There is O2 in air and water, so, by your logic you should be able to breath water because what you need is in the water.
Agreed about hotmail, but the funny thing is the best "spam filter" on hotmail is the custom filters, just add @msn.com and @yahoo.com and move to the trash.
Last time I checked my junk account: 12 SPAM in the trash, 1 got thru.
Or, the ISP should have done like Charter Sipping Straw...ahem...poopline, err, pipe line does: Limit them to 12kbytes a second...MAX. Unless they had a specific contract that said they are paying for high bandwidth/availability... don't give it to them. (I.E. Treat them like a "normal customer"..heh)
It is ironic that they released in a PDF format and note that Abode is using the DMCA to "hurt" people.
I thought the same thing, and then it hit me: if the EFF really wanted to show they had some brass cajones they'd release the document in e-book format, forbid anyone from reading it and post a link to the e-book processor reading "if you'd like to invoke your fair use rights, click here".
Either that, or go on the offensive: Sue all of the lawyers of Sony, MS, Adobe whoever for being "circumvention devices" to fair use.
Wolf was great because it brought FPS's on to the scene...but IMO it was not very immersive.
DooM I and II were visually impressive for their day, but the Immersion Factor is what made the games kick ass. Fun with chainsaws too.
Ultimate Doom. Summation: AAAAaaahhhrrruuughhh! Get the most sadistic SOB's to make levels that challenge you to no end. Even if you tired of DooM...those levels just plain ROCKED!
Heretic (doom engine)..I can look up! and down! and I can FLY, I can FLY!! yeeehaaa. Not terribly immersive, just fun to play.
Quake. Hummm... just WOW ain't quite good enuf. Fun, Fast paced, decent AI, Swim, dammit, swim! And a rocking soundtrack to boot.
Quake II. Good deathmatching, so so Single Play.
Kingpin. Solid game play and death match. Fast, furious, neat weapons (HMG's rule..they RULE!) (loved getting quake players in game and using the grenade launcher...doesn't explode on contact..hehe...freak out time)
Quake III. Awesome Grfx, well done AI, and Single Player Deathmatch...interesting and fun in an eveloutionary way.
(I leave out Descent 1,2 and 3. One came out after doom2 and had a section called "Doom recovery 101. True 3d environment and wicked AI. Bots would *HUNT* you, tag team you, rush you or lure you while others smacked you around... just brilliant...and kept getting better).
DooM3...We'll see. The only saving grace for Q3 was: I could play it on my Mac, and now on my dual box with SMP enabled and a TNT2 (was a gimme, and PCI only system..meh). I hope id makes some concessions for "us" of the not-quite-state-of-the-art-fronkenstheen-boxen-own ers.

Heh, I had a LiteOn 52X that would do exactly as you ask (occasionally).
It is really kind of scary to see the disk spinning at 52X in the tray...hover for a moment, drop down and scuff the hell out of itself upon touchdown in the tray.
I think it should be illegal to write and release viruses. Viruses should follow all standard software rules, which means, the maker could easily be sued for damages. And no, sending the virus with a EULA wouldn't protect the maker legally.
Why not?
After all it has worked for Microsoft for years now.

I recall saying that the exclusive/secret OEM contracts should be the first to go, as a penalty.
True to form, this comment was ignored. No big deal.
Recently, when Gateway's CEO spoke up on this very issue, I saw my comment on abolishing OEM contracts "paraphrased verbatim"...including the 10 year moratorium I'd suggested.
I found this amusing, but it also got me thinking of how this could be improved.
Well, frequently invoked or ignored is the "grandma/joe6pack" arguement and could best be brought to the attention of those it affects the most: 1) No exclusive/secret contracts between ms and oems, period, for 10 years. 2) No OEM preinstalls/rescue disks on/for machines for those 10 years. 3) force ms to *support* all its OS's (9x/NT) for 10 years after release (this will decrease the upgrade treadmill, I think) 4) If windows is to be put on a machine (as per #2): The customer will have to purchase it directly from MS (thus getting rid of the EULA loophole where refunds can't be give because you did not "buy it *directly* from MS" and make people aware of the actual *cost* of the software). 5) and finally: Bugs/Features/security holes should be *fixed* in a timely manner. By this I mean; if I don't want Outlook/OE, IE, WMP,.NET, IM, IIS, PWS or anything else (I, or another customer requests be removed) MS *must* provide the tools to remove it, without "crippling the os".
I'm sure the 98lite team would be perfect for providing insight on how to do it, if they need help.:) .

Nobody's obliged to support a bad business model, and especially not by taking lower wages and worse conditions.
So THAT explains the DMCA, MPAA and RIAA's price fixing of cds and dvds!

Fortunately, it isn't possible to yet copy hard work.
So, if hard work is legislated to be IP, and the DMCA places prohibition on copying IP, then no one will be allowed to work hard...
Ah, now I get it! So those RI/MPAA are pretty slick after all.
I do believe, however, that they are preaching to the choir, IMO.
