one guys with low morals??? what about all of the thousands of companies who are paying thousands and hunred thousands of dollars to guys like this to send out the spam...
"There are probably about 150 major spammers who are responsible for 90 percent of all the spam everyone gets"
does this remind anyone else of the columbian drug cartels?...sure drugs are everywhere, but a small number of columbian drug cartels are responsible for a large portion of the world's drug traffic...another similarity, we're fighting losing battles against spammers and drugs...we're not making up any ground...
seriously though, why can't some senator or congressman introduce a tough anti-spam bill...does spammers have a strong political lobby like the NRA or big Tobbacco does?...then again, i guess the result would be the same as in this article, spammers would just move more of their actual operations overseas...oh well...
ha, not sure how that was relevant here...but still a good reference to the funniest ever triumph the insult comic dog sketch on conan...
CD overkill...

War of Honor

"War of Honor is out, complete with the aforementioned CD-ROM full of free, unencrypted novels. If you're a true fan of Honor Harrington, you probably don't need this review - you've already bought the book. If you're just waiting for paperback, don't, because the CD-ROM included with the book is worth the price of the book. If you're new to the Honor Harrington series, reading the book itself is not the place to start, but with the entire series (and then some) on the CD, you might want to pick up the book anyway, just for the CD-ROM."
wow, 4 mentions of the "CD" or "CD-ROM" in the 3 sentence summary of the review...
wait, i'm still unclear...does nellardo think the CD is good, or not?
no wonder the germans were dumb enough to get caught doing this...i mean, c'mon, they never caught onto the old radio transister in the coffee pot routine...
yeah, but are the people who use Mozilla at your office the technical people, or the managers and execs???...i'd bet good money the people using Mozilla would be the technical people...of course i could be wrong...just curious...
i guess it shows you how to apply your newly found SQL knowledge on a small scale (access) and on an enterprise level (oracle)...also, i would think that access would be a good starting point for a someone who had no previous database experience...
make it look like that command center in Hackers...man, i loved that movie, but what a joke the technical aspects were (especially the command center)...
you also have to look at it from the standpoint that how can you continue to improve your product (in this case office), if you have to continually make it backward compatible with previous operating systems...this is the same reason things are deprecated in java, etc...because they can't continue to support the old way of doing things for ever...eventually you have to move on...
from the article, it appears that Office 11 will be "incompatible" with any MS operating system earlier then Windows 2000 SP3...so, from that, i'm taking that it won't run, not that it just won't be supported...
Washed-up has-beens like Janis Ian, Joni Mitchell, and Tom Petty; one-hit-wonders like Courtney Love.
Read the original post again...the AC didn't call Tom Petty an one hit wonder...he/she called Tom Petty a washed up has been...not that that's necessarily true either...i'm just pointing out the clarification....
i don't disagree with anything you said there...i actually misread the original statement by Brin...i was just pointing out that the 4 movies have the 'hit and run' commonality not because of the director, but because of lucas...but i think we already agree on that now...
um, marquand directed it, but lucas still wrote it...giving the controlling nature of lucas, i'd be willing to bet that the "shoot the reactor and then run" part or rotj was lucas', not marquand...marquand just directed the story that lucas gave him...
this really isn't different then renting a video or dvd at blockbuster...after you've rented it a couple times, you're better off having bought the video or dvd for yourself...
since this website that collections strong file checksums, descriptions, etc, is now a centralized location (as opposed to P2P which isn't centralized), could the website fall under legal attack for aiding and abetting illegal activity of swapping copyrighted material? just curious...
i think you're missing the point, becuase then you still need to have some sort of centralized listing of what the values/file sizes/etc, of all the files should be...that kind of ruins the point of the P2P network...

if you would have bothered to read anything other then the title of the story you would have seen this...Washed-up has-beens like Janis Ian, Joni Mitchell, and Tom Petty; one-hit-wonders like Courtney Love.

i think you have him confused with the "pink lantern"...
oh, c'mon, i was just kidding
well the girls have always told me i'm like "The Flash" in bed...oh, wait...
