As more spam gets sent, the rate of response to spam will decrease. Which means spammers have to send EVEN MORE spam emails to get the same return on investment that they did a few weeks before.
I'm surprised it took this long for the ratio of spam to real to reach the level it has.
I agree with what you're saying, but I think you have part of it backwards.
Gas prices are (for the most part) set by OPEC. They control nearly 50% of crude oil production. Oil Economists estimate that without the OPEC production controlls crude oil would be selling for $8 a barrel (Currently it is around $33 a barrel).
The above post is an example of the reclusive daylight savings time joke. Thses rare and wonderful jokes only appear twice a year - once in the spirng and once in the fall. So rare that often time, these jokes are often not recognised for what they are. To combat this, the punchlines for these jokes are often typed in all caps the give extra emphasis and to alert the reader to the joy and woder they contain within.

Voltair used to drink 75 cups of mocha a day. These weren't the mochas you get at Starbucks. They were more of an espresso infused with chocolate.
I'd imagine they were smaller than todays cup of coffee, but even so thats quite a coffee habit.
When NASA shows their results to another group of scientists (peers), doesn't that count for the purposes of peer review? Isn't that what peer review is?
I thought peer reviewed journals were where you published crap that had already been peer reviewed.
I'm not a professional research scientist, nor do I play on on TV, or even slashdot. I have done minimal post graduate work. I don't know how these things work. Please educate me if I'm wrong.
In Japan there is a recycling truck that travels from dumpster to dumpster grabbing the styrofoam. The spray it with an orange based solvent that liquifies it. The solvent is easy to remove from the sytrofoam leaving it in an easy to recycle state.
Oddly enought I know the answer to this. A few weeks ago I found my son chewing on one of those freezer packs. He'd managed to chew a hole in it and was drinking the vile tasting crap that was inside it. I checked the label on the pack and found that it contained a mysterious product called "Microban". One quick call to the poison cotrol hotline (1-800-222-1222) I learned that "microban" is water with a small amount of a mixture of ethanol and of antifreeze. they advised me that the amount he had consumed (about a tablespoon full) wasn't enough to hurt him, but it may make throw up. They advised administering food and drink to get the taste out of his mouth.
That said: Here's something to think about. Microban contains antifreeze. Dogs love the taste of antifreeze. Microban in your keyboard = doggie snack.
Much of the Direct TV equipment is sold with a rebate offer. Do not expect to see even one penny of that money. They won't send it. You will be declared inelligible. They will lose your receipt. When you send a backup receipt they will declare that it doesn't have a date of purchase on it. When you point out that you highlighted the purchase date in yellow highlighter they will claim that it fell outside of the rebate period. You will never see the money. If someone tells you otherwise they are the exception, not the rule.
And when your Direct TV receiver breaks. Don't expect to get a replacement. Oh, they'll send you 'a receiver'. It'll be some factory recertified piece of crap that's been laying around a dusty warehouse that doesn't support on screen menus.
I guess I'm going have to go with the other posters on this one.
You need not worry about the EMP's affect ony your cars engine. When that orbital thermonuclear bomb detonates, the EMP arcing off your tin foil hat will probably kill you.
While SCO certainly has stated that they believe the GPL is invalid, by distributing the material they have indicated that they accept terms of the license in regards to NMap. It doesn't matter what they say, only what they do.
I can parade up and down the sidewalk all day lonk shouting about the unconstitutionality of jaywalking laws, but unitl I take a step into the street, I have comited no crime. Likewise, until SCO actually violates the GPL they havn't done anything wrong.
The GPL has laid out a set of rules for distributing material. In the case of NMap, SCO has (so far) played by those rules.
No big test here. Whether SCO agrees with the validity of the GPL itself is not material to their distdibution of NMap.
Sco claims that they are charging a fee based on IP they claim to own that is included in Linux.
NMap isn't part of that. NMap is included on a seperate CD along with SCOs linux distro. It is not part of the distro. Even if it were part of the distro, so long as they are not attempting to "otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute" NMap, they would be fully within their rights to distribute it. As near as I can tell there is no voilation against NMap.
There is no clause in the GPL that says "This license does not apply to fukwads". If there were, then SCO would be screwed and NMap would be off limits to them.
Of course this is open to interpretation, but one possible reason why RFID blocking would not violate FCC rules: Once you've purchased the pill bottle, it along with the RFID chip are your property. The only radio signal you're interfering with is your own.
Before you get too excited here's a note from the Katie web page:
Katie is currently in a rather pre-alpha state. The functionality that has been implemented so far (checkin, checkout, labels, branches, dynamic views, configuration specifications, comments) works very nicely, but there is much still to do. See doc/TODO in the distribution for details of what needs to be done, and doc/QUICKSTART for an introduction to what is currently working.

The problem with the situiation was more that he didn't tell anyone that he had been deleting their data and he didn't really follow up with the purchase request for the drive space. Had he done either of these things the situiation could have been resolved without nearly as much heartache.

They won't know how to use it.
What's really impressive about this is is that one third of that was spam.

Quite the contrary.
Styrofoam should be a preferred material based on how well it can be recycled.

You could always run spybot search and destroy after you run ad aware...
and then run ad aware again to see if spybot installed any back doors.
