I love, love, LOVE getting tons of messages bounced back from when one of my domain names gets used as the From in spam. Or when I get MS virus' bounced back saying "You sent a virus" even though I'm not running microsoft.
They answered your mail? I sent them email for 2 years over a similar amount and the weasels never answered. Although for the first year it was an automated "we'll respond within 5 to 10 business days".
Well, since mp3.com never paid my band money they owe us, I say you have my permission to rip us off too. Not that anyone cared -- they're on the site for free -- but since mp3 said they owed us money, the weasels should've paid it.
How did you get modded interesting? In the 1st sentence, in the 1st paragraph of the comment you replied is your answer: In the US vigilante justice has a history that is associated with racism.
In this case, C't just did the police work for police too lazy/not knowledgable enough to figure out what to do. But just like the poster said, "In the US vigilante justice has a history that is associated with racism". And he gave some examples of that gay marriage being one of them.
I don't think Nevada or most states have a law saying that you must have ID. But California does, so I'm guessing it's separate here.
And San Francisco isn't acting as an anarchastic city -- most laws are followed. Most people would benefit if everyone had something to do with their life instead of trying to mind other people's business. If it doesn't affect you, what difference does it make? It makes no difference in my life if people of the same sex want to marry, so why should my opinion count?
Aye, Cap'n! I've been playing in a Star Trek punk rock band for 11 years. We've never been sucessful except for getting kicked out of clubs for making fun of the owners and drinking our own weight in cheap beers that the normal person wouldn't use to put out fires. No award winning CDs (in fact, no CDs at all), but does being in Trekkies 2 count?
I've spent almost none of my life practicing my 2 string bass, but enough time drinking to have gotten a graduate degree. Sure, I have a BA, but hell, it's a BA. Barely Adequate. And I get: touring in vans, sleeping in vans, and very occasionally, getting free drinks (thank you Missoula!). I haven't slept with a single green skinned chick yet! But the society in the US doesn't seem to consider my love of Star Trek and my love of punk rock important. Sure, there's been a couple times where we made $15 dollars at a show, but that doesn't cover my bar tab. Factor in gigantic phone bills, the hefty tax of working dead end jobs, no insurance, and wearing a furry Mugatu costume in the 100+ temperature of Sacramento, and you start to think of a career change. So I'm now hosing monkey shit from infectious and non-infectious monkeys. Please don't mention HIV/SIV.
Now, on the topic of mixing Star Trek with punk rock, most of the other Star Trek punk rock bands don't last long. I'm sure you've all seen a punk rock band in Star Trek costumes singing about Shatner, and didn't even notice it. That's because of the alcohol you had. Some people find this offensive, some don't.
Paramount weren't able to stop this satire of artists on Star Trek, but it's not likely I can do this forever.
In California you are required to provide ID, as pointed out in a couple of college classes in the California State University system. Both professors said California is the only state that requires this. So even if Hiibel wins the court case, nothing will change in this fine state.
If you read the article that you cited, you'll notice that Gore wasn't making a "grandiose attempt to take political advantage of the internet's popularity". He didn't write the code, and never claimed he did. But if it wasn't for Gore the internet would probably still be ARPANET. Nothing obnoxious there.
I just don't think doing a grade check is a valid way to prove how intelligent someone is. There's lots of "book smart" people who aren't that bright in regular life. That was my point.
I'm not a Bush hater or a Gore fan. You're being overly defensive. Paranoid I think it's called. Do you listen to Limbaugh a lot?
You forgot to mention that without Gore, you wouldn't be writing this on a web site. ARPANET would still be small. That's a bit further down on the page you cited.
Hell if I know. I usually ride motorcycles (sitting on an engine with the fuel tank between my legs), and drive Darts, Barracudas and Valiants (fuel tank is behind the rear axle). I just like badmouthing large corporations.
Actually, I don't mind Fords (although I prefer 1960s Dodge/Plymouths). I've got a 1964 Ranchero, but Ford doesn't put the customer in front of the profit. Just like the Pinto problem where Ford said, "It's cheaper to just pay off the deaths rather than fix the car".
The Crown Vic problem isn't just with high speed crashes. If you look at the link, you'll see where a police officer was burned to death when his Crown Vic was hit at 57mph.
The Detroit Free Press documented 30 deaths between 1992-2001 and a total of 69 in the last two decades, including at least 18 officers.
But mainly, unlike the old Mustangs, Ford is still selling the Crown Vics with a problem that kills people. A problem that they learned of 35 years ago.
Don't forget about other Ford products which blow up, like the Crown Victoria (killed more than the Pinto) and the Mustang. Sure, it's the old 1960s Mustangs, but from what they should've learned with that (don't put the fuel tank behind the rear axle), the Pinto and the Crown Vic wouldn't be deathtraps.
Ford with the roll-over SUVs is another problem but they slacked most of the blame on Firestone for their tires instead of coming to terms with that. I
s there another car company that sells more deathtraps than Ford?
Yeah, I was just kidding though. I think I have to have a "slashter friend" to find people and the idea of trolling slashdot asking people to "be my slashter friend" is even worse than reading slashdot on a Sunday night waiting for the Simpsons to start.
So I'm curious and join slashter. Then I do a search for women, any age, any dating status, picture not necessary. It pops up with "No Users Found". Would someone please join and at least pretend to be a girl?
If this building were destroyed by a nuclear weapon, what would be the impact on the Internet?
Oh, there's lots of things that would happen:
Mutants would crawl the Earth, CHUDs would be in the sewers, thalidomide babies would get super strong ESP and take over satellites to tell us they don't like cigarrettes and brandy, we'd have to go back to pr0n in the magazine form (but bukkake would thankfully disappear), and the Omega Man would kill zombies. There's plenty of others, but I don't want to give away the ending (but it sounds like oylent-say een-gray is eople-pay).
I did repo work with a friend of mine in the Bay Area because repoing cars is pretty damned fun. Ah, the dot com bombing was a great and profitable time.
Gated communities aren't a problem to get in. Very rarely are gated communities hard to drive in. And when they wouldn't let us in with the repo truck, like when we were after a couple of MC Hammer's Land Rovers, we would just walk in.
As an aside, I was rated +5 insightful talking about gay monkey pr0n. I love slashdot.
Sex with monkeys is why I work there. Hey monkey, is that a banana in my pocket or am I just happy to see you?
There's vaccines they give you, and I've had plenty of other vaccines that aren't mandatory. I'm planning on riding a motorcycle around Australia and New Zealand. I was going to try to ride round the world, so that's why I've had so many vaccines.
It's a state job, and it's hard to discipline state workers. I think that's why a lot of people don't follow precautions (not washing hands, not washing hands before eating, walking into monkey rooms without masks, sticking pens in their mouth that they used in monkey rooms, stealing tattoo guns from the quarantine monkey labs). Diarrhea runs rampant (bad pun intended). I'm pretty cautious myself, but there are ex-felons & drug users there.
Imported monkeys (ie, Chinese monkeys) are kept in quarantine for an extended period and the folks in that group seem on the ball.
You have to wear a uniform that stays there. When you go into a monkey room, you wear long sleeves, a face mask, a face shield, a hair cover and gloves. Some rooms (monkey AIDS) you wear 2 gloves, and a body gown. I've never been in the quarantine rooms when there's quarantine monkeys, but there you wear a suit that stays in the room.
All and all, it's the best 12 bucks an hour I've ever earned.
Slashdot Mirror
What country do you live in? Your spelling and that debt collectors can't do that in the USA tips me off.
You aren't paying the postage for those CDs unlike spam. Junk mail is paid for by whoever is sending it.
I love, love, LOVE getting tons of messages bounced back from when one of my domain names gets used as the From in spam. Or when I get MS virus' bounced back saying "You sent a virus" even though I'm not running microsoft.
But it does sound good on paper.

I'd start checking ebay for tinfoil lenses then.
Where are you getting the 99%? I think with leaked code, it'll get worse.
That happened in 1998. What happened in the civil court case?
I don't think Nevada or most states have a law saying that you must have ID. But California does, so I'm guessing it's separate here.

I'm sorry ricosalamar, I couldn't help myself.
Based on my basic mistrust of the gub'mint, I'd think someone in California would have to go to court over it.

On slashdot, no one knows if you're a doctor who knows what's going on, a high school kid, or an SCO attorney looking for people to sue.
Hell if I know. I usually ride motorcycles (sitting on an engine with the fuel tank between my legs), and drive Darts, Barracudas and Valiants (fuel tank is behind the rear axle). I just like badmouthing large corporations.

Here's the google cache of the sco site for when the virus takes over.
SCO, killing orphans and nuns since 1999.
