1. Customers opt-in to get spam (in which case, it's not spam now). 2. Merchants pay more than the ISP connection for the service 3. The goverment controls delivery, and gets money for it.
I'd say the US Postal Service should take Sweden's lead!
What I'm intrested in is 16-bit, 48kHZ sound out ether a Parallel Port or PCMCIA card (for soundless laptops). So far, the only thing you have is 8-bit sound that the computer itself has to make sure it runs at the right speed. I'd like to offload that a bit.

What's worse, the Pope is letting spammers steal from the Vatican -- the Vatican has an open relay, and I wouldn't be suprized that some of the preists are spamming themselves.
A monorail? For Vegas? Talk about being a bad design if Vegas is packed full of casinos. That would involve a raised track no matter what, people going through gates, and other niceties. Plus, it may not be very stable.
But a dual-rail track design would be more stable and cost effective -- you can run regular trains if your rails are speced the same. Take Baltimore, MD's Light Rail system. They're so exact that all they need is to pass NTSB regulations.
Of course, with all the drunks out there, you may want to use Washington DC's design, which is a go-anywhere subway/ground system, using gates so all the drunks don't "accidently" run infront of a train. Baltimore's light-rail system has this annoying habbit of crushing any truck/car/semi that tries to ram into it head-on....
The only problem I get is the spam I get to the Yahoo! Mail box -- which requires me to use POP3 to transfer it to my local computer and then back out to SpamCop.net.
If Yahoo! wants to stop spam by charging for services, it better charge for SMTP and use the money to pay for better admins and filter the spam better. May I recommend SPEWS and SBL?
You're missing the point, already. Verio has a ton of spammers that it knows about -- spam complaints keep flooding in, SPEWS/SBL keeps tightening the noose, independent sysadmins keen adding them to their own private lists. Verio should of gotten a clue by now... and it hasn't. It's forgotten.
However, to address your question: Only in a few states is it illegal to spam, and even then the spam has to violate a few basic rules. Fortunately, spammers are stupid (Rule #1) and spammers lie (Rule #3). There is no federal anti-spam statue because our (USA) goverment is that slow! (The only good thing they're doing about spam is prosecuting the fraud that results from the spams to begin with. Eh, as much as we can get, we'll take it).
BUT, the entire Internet community has said "Close your servers, they are being abused." The guy hasn't. It's being abused. Negligence? Aparently so. Conspiracy to spam? Maybe. The server's listed on blocklists. The guy hasn't fixed it yet. He's virtually required, or his ISP gets wind. His ISP is Verio. They've been sent notice. Neither he nor Verio has fixed the problem in a timely matter. The only recorse is to block all of Verio, because they're not playing nice.
Now, you say about outlawing the tools. Is Napster/Gnutella commiting copyright violations? No, they make software that shares files eazily. Any file. Every file. You configure it. It's a *general purpose tool*. It's like a car or a computer. That's ok, we shouldn't outlaw that. We should outlaw *specific purpose tools* -- programs which have only one or two functions which allow the user to break laws. Spamware falls under specific purpose tools. E-mail gatherers/spiders fall under specific purpose tools.
Gilmore should know better. Verio's being majorly blocked by this person, and when Verio gets a clue, they may get their laywers in on the game and sue him.
He should at least know how to lock the server down to use SMTP Authorization. Even better, if he wants his friends to communicate freely, he should give them Unix shell access. Open relays being free speech? YEAH RIGHT! There's no goverment there, so the First Admendment does not apply! (If you think otherwize, REREAD your Admendments.)
You idiot. You're changing the subject. All this guy would need is the -pre1 patches.
Besides, you're not even reading the changelogs. Guess what rc4 corrects? I'll tell you, no, I'll quote the freakin' log:
rc4:
- Load code did not set personality for binaries without an interpreter: This was breaking static apps on several archs (Tom Gall)
I consider this a Major, showstopping bug for a production server online *NOW*. If it's this new and broken out of the box, no way I'm going to suffer it, even on my own home hardware.
Do you have hardware that spits out 1-2 gigs of pics and data a day? Are you going to stand by your words and stop being an Anonymous Coward, kook?
"Go ahead, punk. Make my day." --Hal, in Stone Trek, "20001 BC: A Space Oddity - Part 1."
I belive this was fixed with 2.4.18-pre1, which was the first patch in.
But I'm still scared over 2.4.18 missing the -rc4 patch, and both 2.4.18 and 2.4.19-pre1 are fresh. I'm not going to compile it even on my own system until 2.4.19 is released.
OBJECTION! Keenspot has this for it's own comics plus it's KeenSpace service, PLUS WarpKeen (fast viewing of comics all on a few pages, w/no ads). It also has auctions and a store.

I just tried just the patch to .19, and it's blocking on this driver. Pulling the full code to confirm we need Alan again...
License, smishence. We need the code. Give us the code. If it's going open source, it's going to get rewritten.
Tiqit's 83 Palm-held computer. Nuff said.

Thus, spammers should beware the FTC.

For comparison, my Palm IIIxe under heavy usage lasts three weeks, even with a Gotype Pro.

Proof? GoogleGroups search of news.admin.net-abuse.sightings for Vatican. Some only reference in the spam message, but you'll find a few relayed through.
Plain and simple. Switch from mail to Usenet. Maildir-like structure, but with a .overview (XOVER) file to help out with indexing.
Storage is another problem, though... but Usenet messages can be sidetracked a bit with the encoding.
UGH! No Linux/Mac interface. Geesh, they should of just used the Quake 2 engine instead. You know that was portable.
TV Guide confirms this -- It's going to be a trial of Mulder, which will involve several flashbacks.

What does this all mean? What kind of virtual machine is this? I can't tell...
MOD THIS UP!
Unfortunately, it needs third-party browsers such as Plucker or a DOC reader. Even then, it's not as good as Plucker natively.
