Yes, I use it extensively. For those that don't know: Typing SLSH in a Bloomberg terminal brings up Slashdot.

I love our single Bloomberg terminal here at work. I think I'm the only one that really does anything with it beyond the DES, WEI and MA screens. When I'm running Excel to download stuff, I'll frequently have Excel on the left LCD and one of the Bloomberg screens on the right LCD.
As you may or may not recall, getting rid of the telephone sanitisers led to dirty telephones causing infection and the extinction of the populace. I think we should learn from the mistakes of the Golgafrinchans and keep the telephone sanitisers.
Incidentally, I saw one of our cleaning staff sanitising a telephone and it gave me quite a chuckle.
The whole point of everything you're doing is to access email remotely. Webmail systems do the same thing in fewer steps. It's just a matter of preference.

I've never posted my work address anywhere, yet I always seem to get spam for Viagra, insurance, college diplomas and "organ enhancement" pills. Our sysadmin told me that the way our email service is set up, it's not too hard for spammers to get to us...I forget the details.
The time factor, although fun to play numbers games with, is only a small part of the cost in reality. The real cost is in server space and bandwith. A tangible metaphor would be someone dumping trash on property that you rent.
Yes, you must eat more technically to carry junkmail to the trash bin...but how do you quantify such an amount? If I wanted, I could count the few seconds it takes to delete spam and add it to the junk senders list. After the span of a year, it would probably add up to a few hundred dollars of my professional time.
As for temporal dilation, even if the junk mail didn't exist, the mass would be in the form of a tree somewhere, still dilating time...so that is a given no matter what.
I hold to my statement that spam is theft. Your Slashdot analogy is meaningless. Posting your email address on Slashdot is purely voluntary. Therefore, anyone that does post their email on Slashdot is *implicitly welcoming* personal email messages from other users.
Good point. And something that affects us in all parts of the world is fax machine spam. The two we get most are voting yes or no on some poll issue and "investor alerts." Fax spam has a very tangible cost...the cost of toner.
Spam is theft. Deleting it takes up time that eventually accumulates...time that can't be billed out. It also eats up network resources in terms of bandwidth and storage space. So, unlike postal junk mail, where the sender pays for postage, *you* pay for spam. Spam is like a collect call that you're forced to accept.
Webmail systems use tried and true proven protocols, if you mean POP, IMAP, SMTP, etc. It's just that the mail client is web-based. I'm beginning to prefer Yahoo! webmail over using local clients. I can access it whereever there is a web browswer and it's always in one place. And, as a Comcast.net customer, I know I can rely on keeping the same address no matter what. At work, we even have a web version of Outlook that we can use from home without any hassles.
Trying to tell the difference between natural and civil rights is masturbation. The idea of rights is a purely mental construct in human beings. All "rights" are whatever you and/or your ancestors have fought for, died for and are still holding onto. When it's all said and done, it's the monkey with the biggest stick that determines who gets rights and who benefits.
"Be sure to word it strongly or you may not get a response. I ended up getting to the point where I was using curse words and basically spamming this address."
As I replied in a previous post, I told them that my *child* created the account behind my back. Although I have no child, that should get the wheels rolling pretty quick, lest they want to violate COPA.
Hey, thanks! I just went there and cancelled mine. I signed up when I got a copy of WinXP, just to get rid of the nag message. Then I asked, "what good is this for?" There aren't even that many useful websites that support Passport and I can't see any real benefit. Single sign-ons are for lazy people who deserve to get cracked.
When I filled out the "delete account" form, I entered this in the comments field for extra umph:
"My child created this account without my knowledge." I have no children, but this statement will probably light a fire under their asses to delete the account.
Now that the Passport account is gone, how does one get rid of the nag message in XP to sign up for it?
Classic is installed and other Classic apps (Office 98, Adobe Photodeluxe) work fine under 9 and X.1. Something is fscked up with the Photoshop and Quark binaries. Chmod +x did not work, either.

The time and legal resources needed to sue a large number of spammers would be too great a burden.

That's too minimal for me (and I'm a WindowMaker fan). I prefer using an actual client (local or web based), as do most people that use email.

Then don't use the HP Linux product that uses utility pricing. Use a traditional distro. Isn't choice splendid?

I actually have it running on my fileserver already :-) Paid for a boxed copy.

Of course when OS X recognizes your Photoshop and Quark binaries as "documents" rather than apps, you can't even take advantage of a SINGLE processor.
Yes, this is a desparate plea for help.
