Ok. You got me there. But, what is this guys problem? He just has to show his picture ID at the check-in counter. He is going on as if he has to get papers from the Ministry of Travel and has to show is papers to the guards every 50 yards.
More importantly, does he have a better solution, or does he just want to raise a stink?
Well, if outlawing it would make spam majicly go away, then, yeah, that would be a great idea. But, seeing how outlawing something has yet to make it just go away, it isn't going to help much. Also, considering that lots of spammers hijack mail servers and proxies, which is already outlawed, breaking one more law isn't going to mean much to them.
The FBI has stated officially that it intends to require "similar level of security" for bus travel and train travel.
If that "simular level of security" is just showing a picture ID at the counter, what is the big fuss? It is not like you have to go to the Ministry of Travel and go thru a 2 week long approval process only to have a jack-booted guard demanding to see the papers every 50 yards.
But, he still has freedom to travel, just not in a method he perfers. In the post I was replying to the poster said that everyone who travels was being searched. This is not true.
Really, when I traveled from Virginia to Indiana, via car, I wasn't stopped once and asked for ID. Same thing when I went from Virginia to NY, via train. Where are all these searches being done at?
Taco already did this. Many people set me as a 'friend' then gave friends a +5 bonus. Thus, even tho I was a '-1' poster, people would still see my posts, if they WANTED TO. If people didn't want to read them, all they had to do is set their reading level at '0' and I went away. Now, the trolls have to use proxies and other tricks. Good luck filtering that.
Feh. I used to DREAM about playing with dirt. The only toy we had as children was a tick and flea infested, rabid racoon. Playing involved trying to run away from it while it tried to scratch your eyes out AND WE LOVED IT!!!!11!!1!
Seniors all hopped up on coffee and/or Penguin mints. I only hope it will allow them to drive the speed limit and turn off their blinkers after a turn.
Compared to the number of legit customers to number of spammers, spammers might give an ISP 1% of its revenu. Spammers don't help these ISP as much as you would think.
Lots of people are blocking all of asia. Before I blocked them, I never saw a single legit packet come from Asia. All I saw from there was spam and scans. I used to send abuse reports to asain admins, but I would never get an answer (which is ok), but I would never see any results either. Just more spam and scans.
I've never seen the IP in the top Received line spoofed. I have seen it, but (anymore) it is rare. Usually a spammer direct-to-MXing a Sendmail8.6 or a Exchange5.0 server.
I have Solaris for my servers, Linux for my firewall/router, and Windows for games and office stuff. And, I can still beat the $1100 price of the Mac you quoted. I have a hard time justifying buying a propriatary OS that runs on propriatary hardware. If I could run OSX on my x86 system, I'd run it in a heart beat.
My computer cost me $1200 (monitor and all), I have yet to have any problems with it. If OSX ran on x86 hardware, I'd try it in a second. But, I (and I'll guess most others) don't want to drop another $1000+ on a machine just so I can try an OS I might not even like.

But, what kind would work? I would guess that anything you suggest will be denounced as restrictive of his freedom of travel.
But, you can still travel, right?

If he chooses to travel via airplane, he needs to show an ID. But, he can travel by car, bus, or train and have none of these restrictions.

Did you check out www.linux-laptop.net? They have just about every laptop listed there.

I also need to find a new place to live, but at least I am not a virgin anymore!

No, cause that would be illegal.
For my 2-post-a-day brothers, Ja!

I filter yahoo and hotmail, but only if the email didn't come from an yahoo or hotmail mail server.

Um. Most people aren't going to run out and buy all new hardware just to *try* a new OS.
And spend yet more money on a machine? No thanks!
