According to media reports, brains of
Pastor/Brother George Bush and some of his engineers are reaching the absolute infinity temperature
I read the above and thought that I might like to see the results of Bush talking (lying) about the reason why the USA is in Iraq and then I realized it would never work. From what I understand of this process, there needs to be a brain in the subject's skull before you can get any results.
They have the secret Book of Mozilla thing (*still* in Firefox), and their logos show a decided taste for giant flaming creatures looming over the globe.
I think the teen's only problem is going to be that since he is a minor, he cannot register a business yet.
Uh, yes he can. In the Province of British Columbia, where this guy lives, anybody over the age of 16 can set up a Sole Proprietorship. The Provincial Govt. is happy to issue a PST number and have you charge tax for them. How do I know this? I did it at age 16 in the same city where Mike Rowe lives.

If criminals were smart, they would be running telcoms or energy companies, or on Wall Street, hyping Internet stocks.
Or they might be running one of the world's most evil monopolies. OOPS! Sorry BillyG, I let the cat out of the bag! Off to jail with your sorry criminal ass.
Remember, don't do business with convicted felons.
Let's just hope that ICANN actually follows through with their earlier threat of legal action. Boy would it be nice to see Veri$lime lose their contract.
Actually, no. Distribution alone cannot practically be enforced (see mplayer, asfrecorder, decss, etc.) All the legal system can do is enforce limits on the profitability of a piece of code - in no way can the legal system practically enforce limits on the actual distribution of a piece of code. If MS really wanted to fuck with the system they could just open up IE - leak the source "into the wild" and pull the executable from their website.
Yeah, but who in their right mind would ever compile it?
My point is that this type of joke is just a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. Geek girls exist, go find one and try not to talk about star trek.
Hell, I agree with you 99%. I know a number of gorgeous geek girls, and no, they're not fat, they're not "just nice people", and they're not any less intelligent than any other geeks. In fact they are often much more intelligent than the guys.
Sorry, but the 1% disagreement is because lots of geek girls do like Star Trek.
Just because the USA has free speech in it's constitution, doesn't mean that they have a patent on it. Of course there's no global right to free speech, but does that mean we should just shut up when it's threatened? I don't think this is a free speech issue really, though.
From a geek perspective I would think that geeks and/or intelligent people often assume the right of free speech. Govt. doesn't seem to matter to geeks and/or intelligent people. Getting stuff done does.
Yes, I know I an using the "geeks and/or intelligent people" more than once. I'm pointing out that geeks are often intelligent people and that intelligent people are often geeks, yet the two terms are not synonymous.
In my opinion most of the politicians are criminals. In fact I believe they are far worse than any file trader. Let's put the real criminals behind bars. Only when politicians stop stealing from the public to they have any right to point fingers.
Do remember that in order to implement what I have described, you not only need your own domain, but you also need root access to the mail server for said domain.
This basically means that you need your own mail server or need to be very good friends with the sysadmin of your mail server.
I realize that this is a forum for geeks and you may already know and/or have access like I stated above. No offence is intended.

Hmm... as an owner/operator of a small hosting company, I think that it is irresponsible to filter customer's email without their knowledge, regardless of wether or not it is legal.
Our customers get zero filtering by default, but can have it added on if they request it. Most of our users, as long as they don't utilize a *@theirdomain.com configuration, don't have any complaints.
Anothing thing I will do, more for shits and giggles than anything else, is enter a unique email address for each site that requires one.
For example, let's say foo.com requires my email address for some reason. The email address they get is foo.com@mydomain.com. The email address bar.com gets is bar.com@mydomain.com.
The domain that I use does utilize a *@mydomain.com type configuration and every message filters through my procmail recipes and eventually gets to my inbox or some other folder, often the spam folder.
Now I can see which sites (that claimed never to use my email address) are actually sending spam or selling my address. Once I get spam sent to one of these addresses, I add a rule to my mail server that rejects email sent to that particular address with a "550: DIE SPAMMERS DIE!!!" error message.
As if this isn't all enough, some of the spammers have had the balls to actually send email to postmaster@mydomain.com complaining that my server is "misconfigured" because of the errors they are getting.
In my opinion, my mail server is there for the legitimate use of myself and my customers. If it is rejecting mail from known spammers, yet allows legitimate mail through, it is not "misconfigured" and will stay in it's current state until I decide otherwise.
I can remember my little brother being born when I was three years old. I remember being an only child, then having a new baby in the house. This was 25 years ago.
I hope that others will remember Don as he left us rather abruptly. Info at http://www.gg.ca/media/appointments/archive-2000/i nvestiture_june_26_e.asp
M$ has constantly been claiming that whatever the newest version of Windoze is will be reliable and stable. I personally have yet to see a reliable or stable M$ product.
...because it's a lot easier that trying to get anything useful out of @home. I've been an @home user for three years now and I can honestly say that if it weren't for the fact that I can't get high speed internet access from a competitor, I would be switching.
I think part of your problem might be that the tech support staff are also kept in the dark. They can't help you if they aren't informed themselves. Maybe there's an @home techie out there who can answer this?
I do tech support for another major ISP in this area and I am proud to say that our users don't suffer from this same problem.

And what's that got to do with gay marriage?

Yeah, but who in their right mind would ever compile it?
Why the hell does Micro$oft, Yahoo, AOL, etc, expect to own the internet?
Free, free, and free. Which type of free would you like today?
Sheesh! When will they ever learn? If you want security, don't use M$ products.
I just figured out a way to use the words security and M$ in the same sentence and still be correct.
Go me!
And if more girls were like you, there would be a lot more happy geek guys around.
Don't change a thing!

These and a DOS floppy with the right kinds of tools (fdisk, format, edit, etc.) have saved my bacon so many times that I've lost count
Hmm, maybe you'd better include calc in your list then...
Riiiiight, and if you're such a numbnut that you consider calc to be a recovery tool, then I have a bridge to sell you.
grammar nazi hat on
Am I the only one who reads IDE environment and cringes at the redundancy? It's the same as people saying they need a NIC card for their computer.
Eclipse is an open-source Java IDE. My computer can talk to other computers because it has a NIC.

i've never been fp before. it's over rated. guess i need higher goals.
damn that traffic eh?
