Thinking like an economist, he's obviously hoping to make mass emailing unprofitable.
No, he's thinking like a socialist. An economist would have thought how wonderful it is profits are being generated through such an inexpensive media as the internet. Spam is an opportunity, not a problem.
And it is very, very nice. If you have people resistant to using pgsql (which I like a lot personally) pgAdmin III will give them all the GUI stuff they are used to from programs like SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
Not meaning to be a purist or anything but a GUI slows table creation and other administrative tasks to an absolute crawl. I prefer to script all my table creation and as many routine tasks as I possibly can from text scripts. That way, if changes are needed or I can track what has been done, I can look at scripts and make a quick determination.
It's like the old saw: Sure, she looks great, but can she type?

I am planning to go out on my own to sell IT services with my focus primarily on RedHat software. I cut my teeth on Redhat and I want to offer a RedHat desktop as well as other server oriented services.
What are my options if I want to continue to use the brand name RedHat, to sell customers on the idea of using RedHat on both the desktop and the server, that RedHat can sell me?
What the FUCK do those ecommunists have to do with this case, or any case regarding property rights?
Go ahead and take some karma. I'm having it later.
This is pretty cool. Seeing posts which treat environMENTALists like the loonies they actually are and NO flambaits or trolls mods. You oughta see how many of mine in the past have been treated that way. Enjoy it while it lasts, though, folks.
Without advertising the model for free speech simply doesn't work. A newspaper cannot pay its writers or editors without the means provided through advertising. So it is with email advertising.
If a person can't make money simply because the means of communications he has chosen is politically unpopular, the issue of equal protection (14th Amendment) becomes an issue. Just because right now the latest thing to hate is people who advertise through email, what happens when legislatures pass laws saying rap music, since it is offensive or an unacceptable form of expression?
I can tell you what happens: every slashdot leftist starts jerking off about how the 'man' is trying to kill their rights. This is popular speech but it is not entitled to more protection than commercial speech is. Commercial speech is about 1st Admentment rights.
Commercial speech is just as vital and critical a matter as political speech and should enjoy all the protections that political and artistic speech enjoy.
You don't kill the messenger just because you don't like the means of delivery or the content.
I am afraid this is what slashdot Marxists and liberals want you be believe: that because somone is making money at it, their speech becomes less vital than an artist or a politicians.
Has anyone seen how many judge-approved supeonas have been issued by the federal government since 911?
Exactly none. With 11,000 field agents, the FBI has better things to do than to find out if you are really a doctor checking out those anatomy books.
I don't know which is worse: terrorism or slashdot editors' (and their sycophants) paranoia
Respond to liberal outbursts on Slashdot with a conservative counterpoint and you will start getting penis implant and virus emails from leftists who post here.
While it is nice to hear an executive speak in glowing terms of their product line, his attitude towards Linux is disappointing. I had been kinda playing around with the idea of using Solaris on Intel as a replacement for Redhat, due to the SCO thing.
Not looking terribly hard, since I really REALLY like Redhat, but as I read about Solaris, I discover they sell a version that can run on Intel and a lot of the software I run can also run on Solaris.
Now, I am hearing an executive tell me he will sell me Linux but they won't support it.
Well, fuck that. I won't support Sun either. I won't consider buying Solaris or any of their (most likely) crappy software modules to run on Solaris, and I won't even consider telling others about Sun and their products.
Thanks, Schwatz for narrowing my choice on Linux/Unix offerings to FreeBSD and Redhat. Whether you want to admit it, you done good.
The aim of the project is to investigate the approximations that have to be made in state-of-the-art climate models which frequently give rise to inconclusive predictions.
Gotta love it. Just another way of saying environmental science is the alchemy of the 22nd Century. Another way of saying it is: those models don't work becuase they are based on unscientific factors and a socialist agenda.
# Wednesdays are patch days for Microsoft products....

Why in the world would you want salary numbers in any document? Keep those numbers in a secure database and forget about using ANY office suite and producing sensitive data in document form.
Whether you like it or not the federal government could easily claim jurisdiction over software sales very, very easily, using the internet. The internet is a form of regulable communications. The FCC could easily claim regulatory oversight over software which can be used on the internet.
One idea could be that software sold which had ANY network component be required to be certified against certain types of problems, such as buffer overflows, having backdoors, etc. If a company sells a word processor with the network component disabled,(In other words, a user cannot use a network share or a network link to open a file, or they cannot use the program itself to e-mail a file) they are in the clear. If they sell a product which has some means of allowing the opening of files from a remote computers, they can be sanctioned if it can be shown their software contributed to a worm spreading( banned from further sales of that product ), until the problem is fixed.
The last two biggies in the worm department last week has opened some eyes. A lot of folks, myself included, are beginning to believe that some sort of regulation is needed to stop the damage being done by mal-adapted software operating on the internet.

to ask for to identify the The Center for Democracy and Technology as a leftwing group, wouldn't it?
It is incredible to me the amount of Marxist invective posted to this forum which get rated insightful.

The anti-spam law is clearly unconstitutional and will most likely be overturned. The fines will never be paid.
