I'm not really worried. Its a bogus account anyway. Besides, I imagine it'll be a while (if ever) before they even bother to check if the info is valid.
Even if they did, what's to stop me from making another one and doing the same? Not much..
Funny, I don't recall ever getting an email from Yahoo regarding this.
Fine if the damage is done. Let's all just sign up with new accounts and put in their contact info. That way, the NEW accounts will generate more crap directed back at them.
Everyone? Shall we pick a time and date for this 'virual sit-in' ?
I'm not worried a bit. My *real* account on Yahoo had my old (read: 2 years ago) email account from a past employer. Anything sent to that will bounce, and will eventually be removed. Or, unless the admin is a complete idiot, the mailbox is still there and filling with junk.
I only created a new account last week in order to play pranks on a buddy (we have too much time on our hands). I jacked with the settings for THIS account to point back to Yahoo.
Now if everyone involved with this story were to do the same... (evil grin)
I just checked my settings for this -- didn't realize there was this section... Anyway, none of them were checked. So, I added abuse@127.0.0.1 as my alternate email, and said yes to all the options listed at http://subscribe.yahoo.com/showmailsubs?.done= http://subscribe.yahoo.com/showaccount
Then I changed the delivery address for all the options (travel newsletter, shopping specials, etc) to abuse@127.0.0.1.
In addition to this, I added abuse@127.0.0.1 as my main address under Delivery Options (main page of new section).
Let them deal with the headache... I just wish there was some way of knowing just how badly the/. community is fucking with them..!!
Ah, maybe. But whose to say they're especially smart? Now, it won't allow me to put abuse@yahoo, marketing@yahoo, sales@yahoo as an alternate address - period. Won't accept it. It's not acting that way to their address/phone numbers...
I guess we could all put AOL or Hotmail or some other company's contact info and THEY'D get the spam.
I simply went in and added their mailing address and phone number as my primary contact. Now, their marketing department will be sending their own contact info to their partners.. Maybe if we all did this, they'll get flooded with all their own goddamned SPAM!
Having worked for IBM in the OS/2 support center in Austin,TX, I can say you're sadly mistaken. OS/2 had less floppies that 2000 or XP use to install the OS -- OS/2 had 3 diskettes and a CD. XP uses ** 6 **
Just get a copy of Exact Audio Copy and LAME. EAC will extract and LAME will convert to.MP3 format. How do I know? I did the same to my LEGALLY-PURCHASED copy of More Fast & Furious. Your drive must support digital audio extraction to work though...
Exact Audio Copy combined with LAME will bypass the Cactus protection. I purchased the soundtrack to Fast & the Furious. It's "Cactus-protected". Took me all of 15 minutes to rip it using EAC & LAME.
Your drive must support digital audio extraction for EAC to work.
When I worked for BMC Software, they allotted $3000 per calendar year per IT employee for education. We usually took classes at places like Productivity Point, during normal work hours.
..when we were selling our last house. I bought a cheap USB internet cam that came with some software called Internet Comm Suite. The package has a sentry option that can detect movement and record the images. I then installed an FTP server (I have a cable modem) and took the ICS software to work. The movies recorded are proprietary, so I had to install the ICS at work to watch them. I simply left the camera on top of the PC and left the bedroom door open. Anyone coming in to see the house was automatically recorded. You can even set the time limit to record before the camera turns off.
Reply to this msg, and I'll get you the camera info and double-check the SW name and mfg.

Nope. otherwise it'd have a 6" tounge dragging in the sand behind it while playing "God of Thunder" over a mini-speaker attached to its back..
Now _that_ would be interesting to see..
I guess you 'Canadians' don't get Comedy Central, eh?
I, for one, think we need to invade Canada. We need the land, and it's not like they'd be able to put up much of a fight.
While we're at it, nuke France. Any country that likes David Hasslehoff and Jerry Lewis needs to be wiped from the face of the planet..
This is bullshit. Suing a company because some kid played some video games and suddenly "became violent" and decided to shoot up a school. Why not lay the blame where it really lies? With the parents of the shooters, with the kids that teased them and pushed them to this point, and the school system that sat idly by while this all happened? Most of the blame lies with the families of the shooters, for not recognizing their kids were fucked up, and taking an active role in trying to get them help.
I hope this lawsuit backfires..

Wow. Come to think of it, maybe 10 other people already came up with that.
Wake up, man!

Anyone got a company in mind?? >:)
I already tried to set my alternate email address to abuse@yahoo, marketing@yahoo, and sales@yahoo - won't take any of them.
Sneaky bastards.
I guess we could use someone at Microsoft or an address over at Hotmail and get them in a spamming war with M$.
Anyone got a valid email address for anyone high-up with M$ or Hotmail?
All the more reason to give false information...
As a rule, I never give correct information to avoid such headaches.
Yahoo customer service's number is 408-349-3300
