I wouldn't abolish them altogether, but they should be restricted to physical devices that must be built from components. Not chemicals, not software, and most certainly not business methods!!
Way to go MI, hope that NY passes something similar. I used to get online some days and find FIFTY FUCKING SPAMS in my mailbox steve@dosius.zzn.com. (I check it more often now that I have dialup at home) That's over a weekend. Now just imagine if I can't get on on Friday or Monday...ouch. (110 spams over that time is nothing unusual.)
My best friend is black and has no problem with me saying "fo' shizzo ma' nizzo". "Nizzo" removes the implication of "n*****", that's what two different black people have told me. Besides, "nizzo" is short for a special Ebonics derivation of the N word which has a totally different implication, one of solidarity more than bigotry.
Some neat tricks to do with the code: superimpose images on top of video, or transition effects between videos,
A genlock superimposes text on top of video. There is a program for Win16 and Win32 already which can make the subtitles, and I was just commenting that I would have liked to see a way to do it using tools like this.
Pardon the slashbot-ism, but I have to say that IMHO, TMAOC again.
Why get a pop-up blocker when you can get Mozilla? If the implementation of JavaScript is modded to not allow pop-ups, that's not the same thing as if the Web page itself is modded or some program creating a borderless window over top of the window.
Pop-up ads are partly Netscape's fault from back in the 2.00 days, IMHO, but they've fixed it up much nicer than Internet Exploiter.
Now when one can use markup to subtitle an AVI (MJPG codec) with purely free software, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon bigtime - gotta have my Sailor Moon!
Prescriptions won't do jack if your depression isn't because of a physical glitch (chemical imbalance, etc.). My depression was more like "cabin fever". Nothing would touch it but $$$ (my SSI checks which have been coming in since April).
I at least know you don't mean the 2600 by "Atari". Shame most people do think Atari==2600. The 2600 sucked, but look at the Atari ST "Jackintosh"...the best of the PC and the best of the Amiga.:) BTW, there is a GPL'd clone of the ROM to the ST.
??? Gator is supplied as "sneakware" with a number of other programs, at least that's what the other slashbots tell me. How is that "my choice" whether to install it, if I install a program, and it comes with it, and I don't know it?
Bonzi's as bad as Ponzi.

I think it should be illegal, it's like your glasses modifying the newspaper you read so that (for example) near an article on Linux you see a blatant ad for M$.

That's because it's English (nationality). If it were American, they'd loathe it utterly. But English folk are Europeans too.

I love swearing at the frogs, it's like wiping my ass with silk.
Translation is an art, yes. But I do have do disagree that a translation need be a rewrite...I don't think that would be a translation at all.
I start with a literal translation, then rework it into the style I want, but without changing any more than I have to.
I translated a section of "Le petit Nicolas" into English from French this way and it was very convincing.

I don't care anymore, I'm so spammed out I don't care. I just check my *other* e-mail addresses more often.

I find 11K PCM 8-bit mono WAV format to rival MP3.
So define "low quality".
GSM? (I used to rip to GSMWAV a lot. Fit 3 full songs on a 1.44 MB disk.)

I do agree with you there.

Redundant; that's exactly what the parent post was trying to say.

it == Gator-style ad overlaying (sorry, I posted in a hurry)
Pop-up blockers are another thing (they close a loophole in JavaScript, i.e., bugfix).
