Why do you feel this hatred for spammers? Do you feel as strongly about anything else, because there's a hell of a lot of stuff more important than whether you have to click and press 'Delete', while sitting in your comfortable chair?
By the way, I'm not defending spammers, and I'm not a spammer. Nor do I benefit from the activities of spammers and nor do any of my family, friends, or business associates, to the best of my knowledge. Just to make that clear.
The stuff that Blue Peter referred to as 'sticky-back plastic' is what everyone else calls 'sticky back-plastic' ie sheets of (sometimes transparent) plastic with an adhesive reverse side, protected with a backing sheet. If they had merely wanted to avoid using the trademark 'Sellotape', they could have used the same generic term as everone else - 'adhesive tape'.
Consequently, I never made anything they suggested. ...which was fortunate for the rest of your family. That desk organiser would have sucked badly.
I might even get around to watching that 24 hour movie of the Empire State Building. Anybody know if its on DVD yet? I'd wait for someone to rip it to DivX. I imagine it would compress quite well.
All the Apollo missions landed on the earth-facing side of the moon. I guess it was just simpler that way;)
However, the Apollo command modules passed behind the moon on many occasions, and so far NASA has presented no evidence that they weren't up to something while conveniently out of sight of Earth.
Should NASA manage to prove to everyone's satisfaction that astronauts did in fact land on the moon in the late sixties, we should undoubtedly re-focus our efforts on finding out what exactly it was that the CM pilot was up to while hidden from earth.
But perhaps I've said to much already. There's the door...
You know what? You're right. How that escaped (-1, Flamebait) I will never know. What I'm objecting to is the (often heard, though not in the comment I replied to) assertion that not believing in a god is a belief in itself, which it isn't. Atheism, as a positive belief that there is no god, is of course as much a matter of faith as the belief in a god.
I am writing to you in the hope you can offer me some assistance.
An accounting scam netted me the sum of 2,000,000 (two million) USD dollars which are presently deposited in a Swiss bank account.
Unfortunately due to my felony conviction for the previously mentioned scam, I am unable to retrieve the money. It is for this reason that I seek your help.
Please reply to this post with your slashdot user ID and password and I'll cut you in for a reasonable percentage, say 10%. What the hell, make it 20%. 30% and that's my final offer.
i think the laws regarding killing my obnoxious neighbours is totally useless and certainly damaging our community. So does this mean i can go out and shoot them?|
Unless you're a psychopath, I very much doubt that you think the law against murder is useless and damaging.
You've got a (moral, not legal) right to do whatever you think is right, whatever the law says. Of course, you might have to deal with the consequences.
I'd bet that RIAA is way more worried about the latter than the former. I picture them kind of like Buridan's Ass."Lost profit or lost profit? Noooooooooooooooooooo..."
The rip debate is about getting existing logs, not activly "sniffing" data.
Well, data recorded one second ago can be classed as 'an existing log'. Do you think they'll let this information sit around for a week or so just so it can go stale? Maybe there are already systems in place to make sure that this information is delivered in a timely fashion. We might never know.
"It is a legal requirement that pre-installed operating systems remain with a machine for the life of the machine"
which I'm sure is not true, since I can remove the OS quite legally. (I'm in the UK. I assume this is talking about the US, though it doesn't say where the author was physically located while writing it, possibly some repressive regime with draconian white-goods laws:))
It is quite a clear statement and is quite clearly false. Those who cannot grasp its meaning must have real problems when faced with multiple-sentence documents like, say, an OS license.

I'm wondering which one explains Slashdot.
Let me guess, you use lynx, right?

That's how you spell it, buddy. P-E-R-S-E-V-E-R-A-N-C-E!

Is that what they mean by a dictionary attack?
to many people atheism is just as much a religion as say islam, judaism, paganism, materialism, and pretty much most -isms.
We call these people dumb.
Dear Friend
I am writing to you in the hope you can offer me some assistance.

You do, however, have a wonderful User #

Unless it was a military school
The first foo is a pointer to void. The second foo is a pointer to a function which takes no arguments and has no return value.
Wouldn't that just be a ball you held and moved around in the air with your hand?
No, that's something else.

LOL. The only reason this law exists is because it was paid for. That isn't democracy.

If it's going to be really open, maybe it should be called .CX ?
How will they know when they've succeeded?
