How is "opt-in of any form" going to help at all? If it's not confirmed opt-in, all the spammer has to do is claim that someone, who just had to be you, entered your email address into their list.
Not so. I'd heard that around here, about catfish at the bottom of Gavin's Point Dam, from my dad, who says an aunt told him, back in the 60's, and an uncle. However, Snopes says otherwise.
Except that they aren't, or haven't been completely American owned since 1852. A few years ago they were bought by a British firm, who I believe has since resold them. There were quite a few gun buyers who refused to buy S&W products after they'd been initially sold.
It's no myth. You must be a youngster. Back in the days before value meals, people would place their order and get asked that, if they didn't order fries. It still happens, on occasion.
T'Pol was a pure Vulcan. At this point in the Trek timeline, Humans and Vulcans couldn't interbreed, although in the final few episodes, an offspring of her and Trip appeared. However, I didn't watch enough to know if they found out where it came from, since T'Pol had never been pregnant.
They want more money. The first time I tried it and it didn't go through, my payment ended up being late, because I had to go to a store to pay. So I got a late fee added. The last time I went throught the payment process, it enrolled me in the auto-bill pay plan. Twice.
I'm beginning to regret renewing my service with them last year. I will definitely be shopping around next time.
Oddly enough, it's not banks I have a problem with, but rather my cell phone's website. I had been unable to pay my bill online, until I fired up IE to try again, and even then, it crashed on the first attempt to go through the bill pay process.
Multiple desktops have been available since 3.x. Central Point had a shell replacement that set up 3 desktops. Litestep, and I'm sure other replacement shells for explorer, have vwm's available.
I currently have 4 desktops under litestep, which is plenty for me. The docs for the vwm don't appear to give a limit to the size, but I would think anything bigger than 3x3 or 4x4 is impractical.
A lot of spam I get already has a unique identifing ID included in it. I assume this it to track valid e-mail addresses of people stupid enough to try to be "removed" from their lists.
No, that's what's called a hashbuster. It's used to counter the mailer software that checks outgoing messages in an attempt to prevent spam.
Some spammers, in particular the ones who turn around and resell e-mail addresses, use the removal drop-boxes to validate addresses, and/or remove addresses that are bounced to Errors-to: drop-boxes.
Until then, I have my good friend, the "delete" key. Takes a second, gets rid of my problem. It's not THAT difficult.
Ah, the old ostrich (bury your head in the sand) method. If you don't see it, it isn't there. That works really well. I've recently started using Spamcop.net's reporting service and am seeing a reduction in the amount of spam I recieve. It also takes a lot less time to report spam now, then when I did it manually.
I have a friend who gave up on Blogger, and switched to LiveJournal, because it wouldn't work all the time. LiveJournal is free, and I believe opensource.
My suggestion, if I'm understanding correctly, is to skip the maglight and fiber optic extension, an buy a gun bore light. For about the same price as the maglight, you get both a flashlight and the right angle attachment.
I also had a flashlight with a swivel end. However, I don't recall what I paid for it, or even where I bought it.
I went and read Chapter 11, which talked about partitioning multiple drives, but only in very general terms. That still doesn't answer his question, which was how to partition a single, 20.5 GB drive.
Forget about the inter-state commerce thing, what about international spam? I have been getting a ton of junk mail that doesn't even originate from the US. What annoys me most is the mail from.tw or sometimes.jp sites, that I can't even read, because it's usually encoded in the big5 charset, which just appears as ascii garbage.
You think that's bad? My isp is still using php 2, and has no plans of upgrading. That and no cgi access are my only two complaints about them, though. Well, that and sometimes crappy nslookup results when trying to track down e-mail spammers...
Actually, sometime last year, they shut down the system for "maintenance" during one of the largest gun shows in the US. They can easily put gun shows out of business by doing this maintenance on a weekly basis. Ie, every Saturday, during the day, the busiest times for gun shows. However, I don't think they're that stupid.
This is not always true. At my last job, we were trained in Java. For my team, it was not an option, as our next project was going to be done in Java. We also had access to ZDU and CBT (computer based training) courses beforehand, but our main training in Java and IBM Visual Age was the consultants who came in and taught a class.
Thanks for the comments/suggestions. I have moved the skills to ahead of the employment section, and updated the copies on my web page.
I'm fairly open to what I want to do. I'd really like to get into application development in Unix, and preferably database or GUI stuff, but I would feel comfortable with system administration or working on web pages.
I did a lot of programming in Unix in school, in C, which is why I list it as my preference. I hadn't been able to get an entry-level position working in Unix, so I was stuck with using Foxpro. I happened to get a copy from a friend, and played around with it a bit, and that's how I got my first "real" job after college. That experience led to my previous job, where I did Foxpro development exclusively, until we learned Java.
Also, my employment is listed in reverse chronological order, as is usually suggested by resume guides.
I'm also wondering how or where to put the fact that I've been using and programming computers, for approximately 20 years, albeit starting in the 5th grade, programming on Apple II's.

No, that's confirmed opt-in. Double opt-in is more accurately described in the sibling post below
That's a form of opt-out.
That's what I'm saying. Opt-in and "double opt-in" aren't going to slow them down. Only confirmed opt-in will.

This is different from cars. I (theoretically) can buy cars all day long without having a driver's license
That's not true here, and I'm guessing in other states as well. You do need a license to buy a car.40^8? more like at least 62^8. That's for alphanumeric only. 26 characters * 2, for upper/lower case, + 10 digits.
You must be new here. Slashdot doesn't have editors that are capable of that.
Hard to buy a CD single, when you can't find them on the shelves. It's probably been a couple years since I've seen them at Wal-Mart.
