Yes, but then we don't have crap tv.. so it kinda pays off. you pay for cable/sat/digital? its the same principle, except they managed to get in early. Even with paying for cable and such, you guys still get adverts every five minutes. Even commercial (sic) channels over here only have them every 10-15, and none of those stupid info-mercials (again, spelling?) saying "praise the lord, and give him $50, because the lord is almighty.. but he needs $50 dollers (we take all major credit cards except discover)"
There are so many other things that you pay for with out realising, where the fuck do you think your taxes go? (oh yeah, i forgot, they go into bush's pocket lol)
What is the point? What is the point of spending money on a system that is so useless? i bet it could even be fooled by a zip-compressed attachment or the rot-13 feature on most email clients. Is it multi-lingual? i think not, oh well there goes messages in over 200 different languages. can it tell that bo.mb or b-o-m-b = bomb? i have a feeling it can't, oh look someone rendered their text and diagrams to a bit-map, can it do ocr? hmmm, in realtime with multi-gigabytes of data per second? um.. no. These are just simple ways around the system without even using compression. why would politicians put themselves in a position like this when the system they are proposing has no use what-so-ever.

no no, its best to piss them off. They are on the phone to _you_ and its costing them money. If they get comission, even better - the longer you keep them on the phone the less money they will make..
"hmmm, so tell me more about this double glazing? yes, yes, yes, hmmm, i see, and can i get double glazing but with just one sheet of glass? no, i see, right, hmmm... [20 mins later] ok, hold on a sec while i get a pen... yes, actually, on second thoughts, i just realised we don't have any windows... o well bye.."
Think of it as helping the community by keeping a telemarketer off the phone for a few hours.
Email spam can be reduced by filling in all forms with you email address as support, or webmaster @ the name of the company, or the name of another company. That way they get their own, or eachothers spam and then sell their own email address...
crack him in the jaw? in his own shop? where he has the right to do what he likes?.. ummm ok.
they keep sending spam because the pepper monkey tells them to do it. and if no-one buys anything they must send out more spam until someone does.
basically, if you send out enough spam, statistically, atleast one person will buy something from you. if the profit from that one sale is more than the totall cost of the spaming of everyone else, then the spam campagne has worked. Sending out 1000's of emails cost next to nothing.
Universal Plans to degrade the quality of all CDs using that crappy system that degrades the sound quality of CDs but which many 'experts' claim is un detectable to the human ear (except as maybe a kind of 'lossy quality' feel. This will also have the side effect of rendering them unplayable on Macs, DVD Players, PS2s, and some CD Players (and all *nix's, BeOS's and infact every other oparating system/computer apart from MS Windows.). And it will encourage people to rip more MP3s I bet.
The US government has today outlawed soldering irons, stating that they violate the DMCA in that they allow youngsters to MOD playstations and other games consoles. Civil liberties groups are outraged by the ruling and the American Soldering Association has said they will take this to the high court. Other groups have suggested alternatives, such as allowing soldering irons, but banning solder or visa-versa.
This is a spoof post of a parody
[Go see 'Not Another Teen Movie Spoof', its a spoof of the recent film 'Not Another Teen Movie' and takes the piss out of cheap Teen Movies (tm) where a bunch of 25-year-olds play teenagers in a film that spoofs the spoof of a film that has no plot. 'Not Another Teen Movie Spoof' contains all the great ingreadiants too spoofs of teen movie spoofs, such as the explination of how spoof teen movies explain the basic plot of all horror movies and then mold this around the film. I look forward to seeing the next film in the series out next year called 'Not Another Spoof of a Teen Movie Spoof'....]
About 800 feet above the remains of the world trade center: "Obstruction cleared, this area now safe to fly through." and then "Why not visit McDonalds? turn left heading 225, proceed 2nm and descend to zero-thousend feet (0ft)." lol:)
And at the pentagon: "All your planes are belong to us" and "Goto the whitehouse instead"
I can see usefulness for this in war too, seeing as the American B-52's can't aim to save their lives why not put "Bomb here" signs at various locations.
I've tried Lindows and its amazing!!! Seriously - even the setup program looks _exactly_ like the real windows setup program. Every part of the system looks the same as the Micro$oft version, it even crashes in the same places!! infact, if you covered up the 'Lindows' logo on the CD case and gave it to an expert, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference!! - you see, as a joke, the creators used the title 'windows' instead of 'lindows' on every part of he os - the start-up the EULA, even the help files, these guys managed to recreate the look and feel of the entire oparating system, they are gods! infact its almost like they just copied windows bit-for-bit - amazing!
But then you have to listen to the one or two songs that you hate aswell, plus, it will create jobs for more people to talk about shit all day, don't encourage them:)
Hopefully, next month Microsoft will release the UberPatch-Patch. A patch to address the security flaws in the recent UberPatch which was released to address the security flaws in IE
No crazy taxi is too violent, you have to remove driving all together, that leaves you with walking around a city where everyone is nice to you. The leather jacket must also go, and instead Barney the Dinosaur. To complement this, the entire city must be changed to barney land with barney mobiles and annoying children from acting school.
Thats it, America must launch an all-out attack. What right to those bloody Australians think they have to run their own country with their own laws?!?! i mean the cheek!!! they should have the same laws as America. Its time for the US government to bomb COUGH i mean 'liberate' the Austrailian people from this oppressive (sic) regieme. America, together will stand for freedom - weather you like it or not:)
No but seriously you guys, Australia has a right to rule what ever way they want, and as fun as it is to beat pigs to the ground, hit and hit them with a baseball bat, watching their limp bodies twitch in pain and then fill them with lead with bin ladens fav. weapon.. oops, i digress, its a very violent game.
I think 24.. uh... 23.. no uh.. 22, is pretty good karma considering. It was 25 on sep-11 and then went down to about 15 (wonder why). Its taken me this long to get it back in the 20's. I do post things other than bitching about the US, but most of it is, or atleast contains some bitching about said country. I'm not threatening, i'm simply joking - the fact that i've been practicing for the last couple of months and have lernt half the systems on a modern airliner is besides the point, i wouldn't actually be stupid enough to do it (unless ofcourse some pilot left the door open and know-one was looking). I'm still waiting for the bulk of the bitch-slap - so far people keep agreeing with what i say about the US (bloody 'i agree' people).
Actually he was arrested for speaking about something that violated the DMCA. This is no big deal, seeing as everyone (everyone in the rest of the world) knows that america has no freedoms or human rights, and that the american government is run by money from the big corporations. If you think the Dimitry case was bad - now you've got the anti-terrorism laws so they can soon arrest you for _not_ speaking rofl:)
no dude, im serious, i want to hi-jack a plane and i have been reading all the manuals. (that song about the bones in the body) "The main-bus is connected to the.. bus-tie.. the bus-tie's connected to the auxillary-power-unit.. the" um... yeah.. no.. nevermind...
oh don't get me going - thats another thing - why are the terrorists supposed to be cowards? It takes a lot of balls to go around knowing you could be caught at any time, and then to hi-jack a plane and crash it into a building... anyway i digress you are, wrong, it was Bushes fault, part of being a leader is taking the rap when everything goes bad, even if you had nothing to do with it.
This is why America is falling apart. Because the FBI are spending all their time tracking down non-physical data that has no real-world value apart from that put on it by big corporations. Shouldn't they be figuring out how to stop people getting past their crappy airline security instead, or is money more important? no, money is more important.
Well lets see.. Both cases were almost entirely the American governments fault: wrongful arrest on an unconstitutional law for skylarov and, for the wtc:
Pissing the world off, polluting the earth, installing military bases everywhere doing various other things. then there was the fact that they stacked tall buildings full of people to make as much money as possible, and doing the same for planes. They left the door open (ie the cockpit door, and also the metaphorical door of entry) and if you leave the front door open and get burgled what do you expect?
were you talking about bin ladens heinous crimes or the US governments? - flame that:)

I get spam everyday from this thing called 'slashdot'.. must account for about 355 a year. :)
What are you talking about!! they worked hard _all_ year on that colourful new start button!! give them some credit
