I saw an image on a website that was yellow flowers but when you highlighted it you could see a pr0n image. Does any one know what that's called? I would like to be able to do that. Not to send pr0n but just to mess around with. It kind of like the article but less secure.
If you deleted your account how are you getting your deleted accounts mail?
I have or at least I should still have a yahoo account but I didn't get any Spam really because I never check the account. It's a "if a tree falls in the woods" type of thing.
Still, there must be enough of a success rate to move spimmers to continue messaging users.
You could almost guarantee that if no one clicked those popup adds or if no one responded to Spam then the Spammers wouldn't send it.
I mean a few companies would use their advertising budget for spam, waste it all because no one that it reached bought anything and that would be the end of it. Other companies would learn form those failures.
But that isn't happening. Obviously allot of people respond to this advertising right?
Maybe Spam is just another example of our society attacking the symptoms and not the cause.
Not that I am defending Spammers I hate them and I hate the people who respond to the Spam just as much if not more so.

I had a paradise card. Wow that takes me back. When pictures almost looked like real pictures.
Plays do intermissions all the time, and I've never had a problem getting back in the flow, although people at theaters don't steal your seats when you get up. Plus if you go to a nice theater they usually have a bar which helps with the second act;)
Whoa, hold on a sec, you mention people leaving their computer? For how long? I mean it is understood at work that you cannot leave your computer for more than a minute or else you die or something. Management told us and they wouldn't' lie would they?
Wow. I mean I'm no MS fan but statements like that are just crazy. "Writing worms and viruses is the only way to demonstrate security holes in Microsoft software" Um no it is NOT the only way. You could tell them that this hole exists or you could tell others. It might not get a result quickly but it is an option. Worms/viruses are not civil disobedience and should never be justified by saying I wanted to teach some one a lesson.
Yeah, since when did RedHat earn the mantle of evil empire? I thought that was reserved for Communist Russia and Microsoft? While I prefer SuSE of RedHat I would never go so far as call RedHat and Evil Empire... I think some one got a little carried away
I have had nothing but great experiences using the FTP install. This FTP install is actually good for alot of users since SuSE's 8.2 distro is 7 CD's or 1 DVD. That would take way to much time to DL, with the FTP install you only grab what you need when you need it.
7 CD's just think of the amount of time/bandwidth you would need.
I agree. The first Linux distro I installed was Redhat, and it didn't support much of my hardware (It was a Xmas gift from my parents, I can't blame them) Then I saw SuSE Linux in BestBuy and saw that it supported all my hardware needs. I have used SuSE ever since.
Many people get upset about SuSE not having ISO's, but I have never had a problem using the FTP install.
-------------- Every once in a while I would dl the latest Redhat ISO's and take a look but they always seemed to be 2 releases behind SuSE.
The original comment didn't say anything about what is easier to get. The fact of the matter is that making drugs legal will not make it so those underage can not get them. All it will take is a person that is of age to go and buy it and resell it like people do now. There are countless reasons getting pot might be easier than get beer. One is that the markup on alcohol when selling illegally is not high, in college the minor would only pay the price of the beer and maybe a buck or two to go and get it, that's because if the over21 tried to charge more they would go to someone else. I think that is the reason you don't see gangs of alcohol sellers. You can't make a business off of it because the profit is so small. I believe this is what will happen if and when pot gets legalized. The numbers of minors doing drugs won't go down I think it will just become cheaper for them. While I do have a degree in criminology most of this is opinion. This doesn't mean I think that pot shouldn't be legalized; making it legal will save the US a boatload of money in the long run.

Did you read the article? Do you live in Japan? I am sure you don't because you say we already put more people in jail than any other country on Earth, So you must live in the US. These scientists are from Japan so don't worry about your petty tax dollars.
Next time RTFA so you don't start talking out of the wrong orifice
Just because no one you know carries their Rx around doesn't mean that they are not supposed to. My Rx of Ritalin always had my name on the tube container thing along with the Dr who wrote out the Rx and where it was filled, with this info authorities (or school officials) would be able to verify that I was supposed to have it.
Just because it was tested to look for drugs doesn't make it a stupid venture, the end of the article mentions how a second team used the same technology to look for bacterial spores. This technology has almost limitless possibilities other than detecting drugs.
And for your point about selling to kids which is way off topic to this post
Who would you rather see selling drugs? Law-abiding citizens in a legalized environment who won't sell to kids? Or criminals in a black-market environment who will?
First off legalizing drugs wont make it so kids don't get drugs, look at alcohol.
I agree, I think it is logical to be fearful of a company trying to buy out SuSE. I have rewritten this post 10 times and I can't seem to express why this frightens me, it just does.
Okay so maybe legally they can't call it spyware. So lets come up with anew name that honestly describes Gator. AnotherReasonToUseLinuxware.
This could be the new poll, but I would hate to see Gator come down on/. like the scientologists did.
Maybe we should email Strong Bad and see what he has to say.

Or an insult.
I thought that was your earphone jack.
I deleted my Yahoo account a month ago
If you deleted your account how are you getting your deleted accounts mail?
I have or at least I should still have a yahoo account but I didn't get any Spam really because I never check the account. It's a "if a tree falls in the woods" type of thing.
Your wrong they call it Direct deposit

Just my $0.02

Oh my mistake, sorry.
I just used the rough estimate that 1 GBP = 1.50 USD which gets me by.
BTW my post was supposed to be a joke, I should have made it you know.... funny.
Yeah you know cause it was 35 USD , MS UK Division can only do GBP. See if it was 17.50 GBP it all would have been okay.
Oh man for a second I thought you said the Tooth Fairy didn't exist, I was scared for a second...

I agree. I'd expect to get fired if I took pictures of our hardware here and posted them. Sometimes the stupidity of people amaze me.
I'm no microsoft lover but I can't fault them on this one.

They say that a second team detcted mold spores last year at the end of the article. so I gues they are on the right track
