A fix for this... Legitimate bulk mailers send out messages without the bond attached. The mail handling program bounces mail that has no bond UNLESS the mail is in a whitelist.
You can't collect from someone who does not offer a bond, but also you never see the mail from them unless they are in your whitelist.
Illigetimate bulk mailers (spammers) would not be seen, no bond, and not in the white list. They would have to post the bond to get seen.
If the bulk mailer gets too many bounces then the remove the list member.
Actually, as I understand it, the literal translation is "thou shalt not murder".
Recording the TV show is ok, if you keep it to yourself. Putting the show you recorded up on the Internet is violation of copyright, you were not granted the right to provide copies.
Charyou-Tree may have the right to have a copy since they paid for it, but the person uploading it is in violation, and so is anyone unlike Charyoutree.
In fact, those people would have less incentive to get Direct TV since they can watch the show without it.
Wasn't Microsoft's very first product a BASIC interpreter?
BASIC (standing for Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a system developed at Dartmouth College in 1964 under the directory of J. Kemeny and T. Kurtz. It was implemented for the G.E.225. It was meant to be a very simple language to learn and also one that would be easy to translate. Furthermore, the designers wished it to be a stepping-stone for students to learn on of the more powerful languages such as FORTRAN or ALGOL.
From "Programming languages: History and fundamentals" by Jean E. Sammet.
Seems the first giants Microsoft stood on were Kemeny and Kurtz.
I have a dell laptop that has a removeable hard drive, slide a catch, pull a handle, out pops the drive - push your other drive in, push in the handle slide the catch, boot another OS.
I believe ad-blocking websites will make things evolve and improve.
Blocking simple banner ads led to moving banner ads. Blocking moving banner ads led to flashing game banner ads. Blocking flashing game banner ads led to system dialog box looking ads. Blocking system dialog looking ads led to pop-up and pop-under banner ads.
Oh, I just re-read the article, I missed it the firt time. They will use "Otional" mean evil nasty RFID devices (hopefully planted in the driver's license, not in the driver) to see who's driving.
wonderful
Goody, swipe some one else's RFID and drive like a maniac, let them pick up the tag.
Last time I looked, a speeding ticket is a moving violation, attached to the driver, not to the car. How is this IBM/GPS gadget goning to know if it's Me driving my car? Other people drive my car too.
Yes, and don't cry when you are traveling along a freeway at the posted 55(65,70) next to a frontage road with a speed limit of 30 and the gps error has you driving on the frontage road. Ticket for 20 over the limit..
Or blank-out have your car suddenly jump 400 ft, speed in excess of 80mph on a residential street due to the trees.
This is just like those traffic cameras tied to radar, your guilty untill you prove yourself inocent. After all machines never make mistakes.
The also use those to keep you in the job until they are ready for you to go. "Your getting laid off in two months, Stay the whole time and get this juicy check"
Pictures of words, Words mis-spelled in strange ways, large blocks of blather text.
If they have to try that hard to get it into my inbox, I'm just going to delete it anyway.
What a waste.
Would spam be ok if it were easily classified and filtered? So when you want to buy a house, you can specify that all the "home loans and cheap rates" spam gets through, but since you don't use any prescribed medicine all the pharmacy overseas spam is filtered out?
Where there is a set cost for getting a spam I am not interested in in my inbox. Where the "Advertising Service" and the Advertiser must be really identifed and the spam properly classifeid or Bad Things(tm) will happen to the Advertiser and the Service?
Where a "prior business relationship" is not an excuse to send unrelated email.
Actually I asked them twice to clarify that policy and they said twice the warrentee would be void, I would not be able to get *any* techincal support.

When your hard drive tells you to do terrible things,
tell it "NO! BAD HARD DRIVE!"
This is Slashdot. This is where people dig up antediluvian machines and install Linux on them out of pure masochism.
Well I install Linux on antediluvian machines because they are all I can afford....

Will work for new machine

I suppose they will have to boot in to windows.
I have a dell laptop that has a removeable hard drive, slide a catch, pull a handle, out pops the drive - push your other drive in, push in the handle slide the catch, boot another OS.
too bad it's a 486.
I dual boot, I run Windows to run some of my games (roller coaster tycoon) and Linux to do everything else.
I can't dual boot? I guess I'll ditch windows.
Documents with DRM and Time limits?
I will wear a suit for a job!

Your right! things are evolving...
No, I'ts more like if you put a box on your front stoop marked "free" with duplicated copies of a pre-released DVD.
Flaws in your example-
1) even if your door is unlocked it's still illegal to go inside an take stuff.
2) If someone went inside and took somthing you no longer have it, they do.
3) Lotsa people can visit you public folder and take a duplicated copy.

10,000 for a magazine?
Really?
1) subscribe to all magazines
2) Rent a warehouse to keep them
3) ???
4) Profit!!!!
BTW how do I know if I got first post???
The difference is that the Demo tapes were Metallica's to give out and were given out with the idea of having them copied and spread.
On the other hand Napster took somthing that was not theirs to give out and spread.
The Demo tapes were under different "licsense" than the music in Napster.
See No dichotomy. Demo tapes Good, Napster copyright violation bad
Severance check..
The also use those to keep you in the job until they are ready for you to go. "Your getting laid off in two months, Stay the whole time and get this juicy check"
Wouldn't help.
It Earth is bathed in Gamma Rays then so would be the moon and Mars.
I wonder if Massive water (deep underwater habitat) or deep underground would be safe...
Unfortunatly they sometimes wave your last check at you saying "Sign ze paper or you never see this check"
oops, out of stock :^(
A trained expert if there are any..
How many Humans would it take to have a gene pool big enough to avoid inbreeding?
too bad they don't get it.

Cow stores all closed up.
Open Note to Best Buy:
Have a $2.00 sale! Everthing in the store, 2% off if a $2.00 bill is used to pay.
This would be a great way to overcome the bad press you're getting.
