I've never used their discussion boards (to be honest I rarely use Yahoo). However it sounds to me like they need a system for moderating comments. Perhaps have a few trusted users given this ability.
TFA doesn't say why the current systems has been pulled offline prior to a new system being put into place. I'd hazard a guess though that perhaps they want to start beta-testing various new methods shortly and that would be easier to do with the old method gone.
Just like to say that I wish you the best of luck.
And I have to say that part of me wonders if the real reason they're using these tactics is because they're pissed they didn't come up with idea of music d/l first. Bit like a spoilt child who missed out on their favourite toy
I'd ask for conclusive proof that the machine(s) itself was not exploited in any way during the time period in question. Can they prove that the files in question were placed there by the defendant(s) and not a remote hacker taking advantage of a flaw in the code.
We know that a large percentage of spam is transmitted by zombie pcs. If that's possible then so is the above scenario
I for one have to admit I fail to see the point in HD.
As a kid I saw movies every chance I could get if they appealed to me. There's nothing like seeing a great movie on the big screen (and in those days they were big, not the piddly little things they have at multiplexes these days).
Today with the cost of going to the cinema I keep an eye on the up-coming trailers. On the rare occasion I see a movie that appears to have a good story line + good SFX I'll spring for the ticket. If it has good story line but SFX are not major part of the film I'll wait for the DVD.
Even on the largest wide-screen TV SFX can't match that of the cinema screen. I'd personally prefer a decent audio system giving cinematic quality reproduction. Audio atmospherics enhance the experience to a far greater degree than visual.
new extra painful method of execution should be devised just for them. Just make them use the products they're hyping..
Make em use their penis enlargement pills, breast enhancement creams and hair tonic formulas while buying up endless stocks using money inherited from their rich second cousin's uncle-in-law from Nigeria.
Carbon monoxide is the global warming gas... CO2 is breathed by plants who in return release oxygen into the atmosphere. Plant heaps of trees and shrubs around the places where it's used
It's not 100% eco-friendly but it's a good step in the right direction
Well Actually... Our Government is headed by Helen Clark and they run the country (for better or worse depending on your political leanings). The Governor General is the Queen's representative which is now essentially no more than a titular position with the only real power being to disolve parliment under very limited circumstances.

And sadly this happens more often than one would think. I live in New Zealand where we have different laws covering this sort of thing. In fact I'm not even sure this kind of advertising is illegal here. False advertising is, but whether it covers this medium I can't say. However whether or it is illegal the issue is Joe and Mary Public's knowledge of how the Internet works. Banner and popup advertising, whilst annoying is ok with me, people do need to make a buck. However I have a fair idea of what is legit and what isn't. Perhaps more resources need to be spent educating those who are not so fortunate as to have our experience and knowledge of these issues. If everyone stops clicking on them how long will they survive?
To some people the challange is more exciting than the outcome. I remember making Windows 3.0 to work from 1.2MB FDD's on an 8086/640k with 360k drive, when Microsoft themselves told me it wouldn't work (they appear to have forgotten Real Mode). Why did I do it? Because it was there.

MS-DOS 1981-2002 RIP
·
· Score: 3, Informative
MS-DOS was born in August 1980, in Tukwila, Washington, the creation of Tim Paterson and the Seattle Computer Company. Initially called QDOS 0.10 (short for "Quick and Dirty Operating System"), MS-DOS was a lifelong resident of the Seattle area. In late 1980, nonexclusive rights for 86-DOS 0.3, as the operating system was then known, were sold to Microsoft. In July 1981, as Paterson recounted in a June 1983 BYTE article entitled "A Short History of MS-DOS," Microsoft bought all rights to the DOS from Seattle Computer and changed the name of the operating system to "MS-DOS." http://www.byte.com/documents/s=1437/by t20011028s0 001/1029_editor.html

Honestly, I can't remember where I came across it originally. It was a few years back and I figured it would make a great sig.

Just did a quick Google - appears to be a quote from Steven Wright. Guess I should cite my source
I know GNUStep.. and it's not Aqua

Now if only it could tap into L-Space. Imagine access to every book ever written.
And if we could expand on the science of Invisible Writings, access to every book that *may* have yet to be wrote.

It's a pretty painless process. Same principal applies to Outlook Express
