You sinner... you must have written too much perl... REAL programmers (that is, those at MIT) love to ignore the fact that human languages are above all context-sensitive (as Perl is to some extent), as opposed to Lisp variants which have completely context-free grammars.
I guess that a significant number of sysadmins using the RBL will add those fuckers to their blocking list manually... and now good luck getting unblocked!
You've got to be kidding. If there was no spammer... hell if there was no robbers there would be no need for locks either.
Damn it, this open relay problem has been documented and well-known for years, I've had a mail server completely stuck while I was on vacation (yeah that's usually when that kind of things happen...) because some fucking spammer was able to send thousands of messages a minute thanks to an open relay, and happened to use a domain I administrate as a fake return address...
And in that case the RBL (which I use) was of no help since all I got was all the bounces...
Et après ça, les français se demandent pourquoi ils sont pas bien aimés au monde entier.
I see you guys keep repeating that to feel better... when there's actually only one nation that's not really liked in most countries... let me see... which one is it...
And alcohol is NOT a poison. That's utter bullshit.
It's not? You might want to go notify all the doctors, biologists, and pharmacologists of the world that you know more than they do. I don't suppose you'd like to explain how it's not a poison and yet only 0.4 BAC can cause coma and death. (http://www.brad21.org/effects_at_specific_bac.htm l)
Shortly, and simply: what's the western region with the lowest occurance of heart disease and one of the highest life expectancy? Answer: south west of France.
They also happen to eat REALLY fat stuff (foie gras... 70% fat) and drink LOTS of red wine.
Now, if that's a poison, I'm glad I'm poisoning myself! MORT DE RIRE
This has been studied and written about at length.
The fact is and remain, you're a puritan, who has to see evil in everything that feels good. It's nothing to do with nationalism: it's just yet another example on how you should look at things on a higher level.
For instance, there is some media coverage of alcoholism here, but it's a really minor issue. I believe it's seen in the same way in other European country. Now, I was in NYC a few weeks ago. Alcohol is bad alcohol is bad alcohol is bad... Everywhere. There was even an article in the New York Times blaming the Central Park Rape thing on Alcohol. Duh!
I've been drinking more than that for a period of a few months. Mostly in bars, well actually drinking beer, not wine. Let me tell you what, that was nothing compared to my british or Irigh fellows. But then, *they* probably were alcoholics actually.
The thing about "a couple of shots to become addicted" is a little bit of bull. It depends alot on Dose, TIme period, and the persons own body chemistry.
Oh save me the "it depends on..." non-argument. EVERYTHING "depends on" something. OF COURSE, some people get addicted faster and some slower. OF COURSE. Who do you think would not realize that? Duh.
Water is bad. Try drinking 30 liters at once and you'll probably die.
Why don't you drink that much water anyway? Because it's not addictive enough. Alcohol is a drug in a way, because it can be addictive. HOWEVER, this is my point, getting addicted to it is far far far harder and unlikely than getting addicted to heroin.
Most people who drink alcohol are not addicted. *Nobody* who uses heroin isn't.
And alcohol is NOT a poison. That's utter bullshit. Alcohol at low enough doses has no significant long term effect, except maybe good ones (lower cholesterol!). I'm not talking about getting drunk here -- of course, that itself causes short term problems.
Saying that alcohol is a poison is ridiculous. Oh but wait, I'm from France, the wine country, you're probably American, land of puritans.
You're talking out of your ass. Getting addicted to alcohol, easier than getting addicted to heroin? ROFL. You don't know shit. It takes a few shot of heroin to get addicted. I've talked with heroin addicts. I've read about the psychological issues of drugs. No way!
Nicotin, OTOH, is a very very strong addiction, and is said (by former addicts of both) to be harder to quit. But my point is, it takes more time to become addicted.
Alcohol is JUST as bad as ANY drug that is currently illegal. JUST like ANY other drug, there are people who use it, and people who abuse it.
The difference? Getting really addicted to alcohol takes quite a lot. You can easily drink 4 glasses of wine a day and are extremely unlikely to become alcoholic. Now take heroin twice and you're a junkie. Smoke a few cigarettes a day, you'll smoke a whole pack a day in a year or two.
*On top of that* drinking that much alcohol has NO bad long term effect. On the contrary, studies tend to prove that it has some positive ones! I'm not aware of any positive effects of heroin or crack.
That "alcohol is just as bad" meme is really really really wrong, and is getting really really old now.
... is that there's always a significant chance that they shoot themselves or their children while playing with their toys. Thanks a lot for keeping the gene pool clean.
I'm installing Oracle 8i on Linux. The install is the most crappy and buggy I've ever seen (crash, miss files, does'nt do 1/10th of the job). I had to pay a consultant $1000 for a day to help me do it. I might just be stoopid, though.
Was'nt CmdrTaco publically boycotting hyperlinking? Now have you noticed how many hyperlinks there are on this site? And guess what... there's even one on the ad! So much for ethics...

I suggest the whole Alien series, Alien I, Alien II, Alien III, Alien IV, and maybe by the time the compile is over they'll release Alien V.

Well actually I was'nt referring to you specifically, since you were just repeating one common meme often seen here.

Debate what? Debate a worthless statement such as 'stereotypes are bad'?
C'm'on, you can do better than that. Good flaming require some originality.
Well by my own admission I was not since I have stopped drinking that much without the side effects usually referred to as 'delirium tremens'. QED.

"Stereotypes are bad"? My, you must have a Ph.D in philosophy or something!
Well I'm a bad boy anyway.
... just non American. Therefore I'm rather unlikely to have fallen for the NRA bullshit to begin with.

By 'regulated', they probably meant fat, heinous, stupid, racist, irrational like a NRA member.
The NRA *really* needs help ... DUH

What are you trying to tell me? That someone who is gifted enough to fuck beautiful women could NOT have a plain nice girl? You're wrong.
