What browser were you using? None of the links were obscured for me. And I was even using IE at the time. A simple mouse-over showed me what the link pointed to. Made the test quite easy when one of the paypal "urls" pointed to "something-exchange.com".
Explorer.exe simply crashes, repeatedly and often, for no good reason.
So don't use explorer. Talisman Desktop is quite handy, and my current shell. LiteStep is another great alternative.
Less resources, more stable (no crashes so far in 2+ months), and more configurable.
Ironically, these P2P operators who hide behind the protective cover of "technology," resist deploying existing technological answers to solve this problem.
They resist modernization because it undercuts their business model.
Goback is excellent? Uhhhh in what reality? I've NEVER seen goback actually be useful in restoring any machine. And I've probably seen hundreds of goback enabled boxen in my tech career.
And don't even think about trying to ghost a goback drive if your HD starts dying. even tho ghost will say everything copied fine, you'll be lucky if the new drive even shows the right partitions. And $DIETY help you if your boot record gets screwed or you start getting bad sectors.
Your "right" to do something STOPS the second it causes anyone else tangible harm. To use your examples; Your "right" to shout ends when you meet the definition of harassment (2 AM shouting) or causing panic (FIRE! in crowded theater). Your "right" to mail me something costs YOU, the SENDER, money. It doesn't cost me to receive it. and it doesn't cost me to tell the Post office not to deliver it. Your "right" to send me email costs ME, the RECIPIENT, time and money. It also costs my provider, the intermediate ISPs, and numerous others, money and resources. The second other people have to pay to send YOUR message, you just blew your "right".
In EVERY other medium (radio, billboards, magazines, tv/cable, even the guy on the corner needs a permit) the ADVERTISER PAYS to display/distribute the message.
With SPAM, particularly thru hijacked relays/PCs, the advertiser (and i use that term loosely) pays ZILCH. The cost burden is thrown on the transport providers and recipients, who furthermore have NO SAY in what they receive.
how many aggregate "irreplaceable years of life" this scumbag cost others
According to my spiffy SpamNet statistics window; the collective community (~970K) would have lost a combined 8200 days (since the program began) dealing with spam ourselves.
While Ansar is gaining strength in numbers, new information is emerging that ties the organization to both Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network and to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
Let's he's friends with #1, and he's also friends with #2... #1 and #2 must be friends!! Logical fallacy.
Ansar having ties to al qaeda and to Iraq does NOT logically imply that iraq/hussein has ties with al qaeda.
One can easily befriend different people/groups, even if those groups do not themselves associate.

3 year warranties on all boxed cpu's and motherboards with next day replacement makes a pretty good argument...

INCORRECT.
Whose side did you take in the david lee roth/van halen split? VAN-HALEN or Roth?
Van Halen?
HE'S A COP!!
Posting with a name like dave420 makes me think you're a hippy stoner, which is somewhat scary. thanks, though ;)
That was brilliantly subtle.

You are absolutely correct, after all, surveillance satellites have a very difficult time seeing over fences.
And they can see so well INSIDE/UNDER buildings/cars/trucks/anything else with a roof...
You can already do this.

We just grabbed a couple for use in our shop. Handy for going to custom sites with dialup.
Feh. Adding two words makes you lame, not original.
RTFA!
they are floated to the surface, where they are dried out and sold to mills for use in furniture and construction, like any other lumber.
Oh and a whole host of personal rights, freedoms and privileges.
Americans invented rights and freedoms? Funny... I thought those were inherent HUMAN rights.
You are why the rest of the world thinks USA-ians are arrogant pricks.

Nice hacked website.
As soon as "B" used the word "pedant", I knew it was a bot. Hardly anyone uses pedant in regular conversation, much less a teenager.
