I'm not interested in less-than-lethal weapons. If you are in my home with evil intent you will die or kill me. There is no middle ground. I'm not taking a chance on having Mr. Intruder wake up while I'm calling the police. I'm not interested in having him spend 18 months in prison and getting out only to pick up where he left off. I don't believe in long sentences for drug possession or shoplifting. I do believe that my home is my castle and that by invading it you have declared war on me and my family.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that most people willing to participate in such idiocy don't have ancestors that preceded them in the traditions. Maybe it's a way to let anyone participate. Maybe the children of genuine pagans / Druids / whatever realize that it's a bunch of garbage and won't join in the fun. I see it as a way of allowing all to join since most won't.
I'm basing this on my ignorance and faulty memory, but CISC wasn't developed to mimic HLLs. C was designed by Dennis Ritchie to mimic available (PDP-11) systems.
Call the police. Call the Fire Department while you've got the phone handy, 'cause I'm burning your house down.
There's more than one way to attack, and when the front door is locked I'll just hit an unsecured second story window. Besides, I shoot cops for fun.
OK, so that was just a spew of hatred. I don't burn down houses or shoot cops. But I could, and most homeowners and cops are unprepared for that reality. Just like most email boxes are unprepared for spam.

Sorry about that (see followup). I forgot to refresh before posting my reply.
Secondly the ability to communicate and to pass information from one generation ot next is what separates human beings from the animals.
Look up planarians someday. Then apologize for your utter ignorance. This is like a court of law - get one statement wrong and everything else becomes suspect.
Amen to the Paul Graham solution. I read about it about a week ago. It's so simple, so clear. It inspired me to learn lisp, which I'm doing right now.
The downside is that it runs locally so you still have to download all the spam. I'd love to work out a way to make a server-side solution. Have it sit on the mail server. Whenever I designate something as spam run it through the hash and put the results into the corpus. Each account would need its own filter, though. The program could have a single instance that pulls in each user's profile as needed. Just a thought, and certainly not a new one.
You must not be familiar with the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. It's a test that is administered to recruits. It pre-qualifies them for certain fields. This friend of mine (a fellow who graduated from high school when he was 21) did not score well on his ASVAB and wound up assigned to a Bradley in Korea. He is a tool. Since leaving the service he has taken a few community college classes and worked his way up to Assistant Manager at Blockbuster. The parent wasn't a troll, it was an observation, a bon mot. Rocket scientists work on rockets. Morons who can count drive Bradleys.
I'm actually (very slowly) working on some similar filter ideas on the website I run (www.inthewire.com), especially the 'personal mod points' concept. The idea is that I accept any submission, and each user can highlight or exclude anyone based on past posting history with all sorts of minor adjustments. Once I get all the relevant relationships worked out I'll try to make it a "big dial" sort of thing - choose a single setting to get a particular view of that world. All the complexities will be accessible so those interested can futz about, but the simple interface will be retained so that the grandmas can set it and forget it.

these days, kids see it on television every day
Not in my house they don't.
...nobody builds anything without redundancy if they actually want it to work.
You must not be an only child
Who said it?
Your mom, but it was punctuated with a bunch of Huhhhs and not a few Oooohs
I've got it on tape (audio, not video, I'm no exhibitionist) if you want a copy.
I Agree With This Post
I just read the article and contemplated the photographs.
Wow.
My entire life has passed without a human stepping foot on the Moon.
Why do I always hear people mention that the Bible is riddled with contradictions but never hear them explicate those inconsistencies?
Learn to skim and read at -1.
Then you can ignore the moderations of the janitors, their fans and their enemies.

But that's just my opinion.
And I'm a dick.
The 17 year old in the example was *robbing* the store. Point a gun or a knife at me and at least one of us will die.
Check out zonedit.com. I use dyndns to update my URL through them and it works very, very well (and is free).
I haven't used them, but I hear good things about Ethernet Wide Area Networks - they charge $40 per 1U.

He was in the US Army on a two year hitch. He as also a complete tool.
Coincidence?
