you might find this sight particularly useful. it will let you set up a temporary address based on a naming convention that forwards to your real address but expires after a few emails. you can setup something like rusxxxxx@asdf.com where xxxx is whatever you want and it will fwd to your real address so if the badguys get your email its no big deal the temp addy will just stop working.
obvious flamebait but.. having the setting in the future isn't the only thing that makes it different. futurama is geek humor. its good shit, but not the popular strategy. the world is getting smaller and if your taste doesn't fit the wide part of the curve your assed out
yea its like a mixture of bad joke made up stories and urban legend tech support stories. he even has the guy that was dialing 9 to get an outside line, and then 1 for long distance but windows was adding the 1 so he was dialing 911 and the cops kept showing up. 1) windows has never added a 1 like that and 2) cops dont rush to your house when a modem screaches at them
whats disturbing are the videos in that article.. could you imagine trying to watch anything on that? the first 12 inches from the top seems stable, the rest of it looks like your projecting onto curtains with a shopfan blowing on them.

Walk-thru Fog Screen
·
· Score: 0, Redundant
Applications The fog screen enables many novel applications indoors. Interesting applications include walk-thru advertisements on shops or malls, or a walk-thru screen in world-class museums, corporate showrooms, trade fairs, theme parks, special events, spas, theatres, science centers, lobbies, etc. We can extend the technology to limited outdoor usage. We will also present some intriguing new concepts later.
The fog screen is silent and non-breakable, which enables safe gaming, exercise or training, and non-supervised public presentations. It also enables the audience to enter and exit rapidly through the walls into, e.g., virtual environments, which may be even sequential. Mixed reality and immersive projection technology could use CAVE-like virtual rooms with fog walls, making them effectively "virtual virtual rooms".

lol I remember that, it wasn't actually installed on the hd tho was it? just some of the crap that was included on the cd
you'll find gigs of crap in the *cache folders. disable automatic system recovery and file auditing (I forget what the actual services are called) and clear out those directories. look at a file listing of your hd from biggest to smallest and you'll notice plenty of redundant.cab and.dll files that are just plain FAT. search the net for a slimmed down registry, or use a recursive reg cleaner on your own reg (recommended if its not a fresh install) and viola a relatively small XP install

most of the extra bloat in windows is the enourmass device driver database (that makes the automagical plug and play thing work). this guy actually deleted plenty of system files though, I guess by trial and error.. delete a file, see if solitair runs, delete a file, etc. problem is the win32 api consists of way more than just user32.dll. I'd bet trying to run anything other than solitair results in an "unable to locate advapixxxx.dll"

I got winxp under 500mb (I was making a system out've spare parts from my closet and all I had was a 4gb hd). I didn't compress any of the dll's or exe's though, just deleted all the extra dllcache and redundant system files that xp maintains by default. If your upxing hundreds of dlls and system executables to save 5mb your officially obsessed, theres no point to that.
don't forget to include a hefty ransom, and instructions for where to leave the money in exchange for the "master" copy of the code. remember, no cops.
I don't know shit about processing credit cards in the high risk sector. I do, however know several people who stole many hundreds of thousands of dollars doing this kind of shit. It wasn't always porno and penis pills but its definately not bullshit. One of my close friends went to jail for a year after getting busted at 17 (he was ratted out by a kid only 14 who had stole about a million bucks in less than a year)

look at him.. I don't mean to come off as a racist or anything, but seriously. when you are in fact a terrorist, wouldn't it make sense to sharpen up a little, maybe try and cut down on the co-worker-thinks-im-a-terrorist-because-i-look-lik e-this factor?

you really believe these people purchased this shit? these people's credit cards were stolen! ever get emails that resemble ebay's account page or aol's billing or some other fake bullshit thats trying to snatch your credit card numbers.. those things fool a lot more people than "make your penis huge" sells penis pills
what do you think gets done with all those stolen cc's.. the bastard turns around and signs them up for penis pills, porno sitesm, etc whatever gets the comission. sending out a buttload of spam to the same people that your stealing ccs from just obfuscates things to help cover your tracks. this is the real shady shit thats going on with spam.. not penis mail that people are actually buying, people are getting ripped off!
You certainly should not be basing program flow on exceptions.
I tend to agree, but if you read ms's best practices around.net and web application design you would be suprised at how exceptions are working their way into common flow. Even for something as trivial as an authenticate method "token = authenticate(username,password)" they would rather you throw an exception if the password was invalid instead of a return code. In the end the flow does seem somewhat better..
