I can't say I blame them. As a business, your goal is to legally make money. You only act to cut off your clients when it effects your bottom line.
There's two ways of thinking of this... from the comsumer point of you (the reciever of spam) and the business point of view (Savvis). I'd do the same thing if I was running their company.
Mod me down flamebait... but WTF are you on, crack? Make up selling individual DVDs at a loss by selling a LOT of them in volume?!?!?!? -1 + -1 + -1 + -1... + -1^n... This is is a negative number. Not sure what math you're using... but tell it to my stock broker.
Don't forget your tin foil cap. They already use Google search technology on gmail. But it's limited to your access rights to your email. Nobody else can search your email.
I don't know where you live, but I get something called Comcast ON DEMAND via digital cable. I can select a movie from a library and then watch it whenever i want.
For fucks sake... the moment that fucker pushes me would be the moment i whip out my cell phone and dial the police.
Assault is a crime, and that fucker would be losing his job and freedom.
What a bunch of nonsense I'm reading here. Any piece of hardware can be emulated in software. A Modern day PC can very easily emulate the hardware of the Colossus.
Colussus uses logic circuitry, there's nothing enigmatic about it... a modern pc can implement it with great speed.

POP3 access for a small fee would preserve their revenue stream. I remember reading somewhere that this is what they were considering.
As a code monkey, I'm not worried. I understand that anything can be hacked and then ported to an open format.
So I smile, and gently raise my middle finger.
I do, but mainly so i can convert them to mp3s for use in my Rio or in my computer.
How many cracks do you think will be out there if Steam goeas away? (Hell, how many cracks are already out there?)
Chicken little needs to go home.

I'm amazed at how much Fear and panic there are in these comments.
It's attitudes like this that stifle progress.
Yes, there's a danger but that's the nature of progress. The danger will be curbed by technology and beaurocracy(sadly)...
I say, bring it on.
If it was a joke, well it definately went way over my head. Oh well.

If you're going to spout out all this crap... put down your sources for the information. Do we take you word for it? No.
No... Red Neck is a term to describe an ignorant stupid motherfucker from the rural countryside in the US. Their "whiteness" is incidental.
What Race? Is "stupid motherfucker" a racial slur?
Seriously... I'm getting all Misty eyed.
Jesus, that's some tip off!

Yes, please ignore the fact that gmail is still in beta.

I agree... but the more times you see something like this on tv, the less horrifying it becomes.
Does anyone remember a game before fallout in the same genre called "Bad Blood". That was an awesome game. I'm still looking for a copy of that one.

Except, all you need is one sniper to hit the little fleshy human in the middle to disable it.
(damn i've been playing too much SpCell2)

So what exactly makes you think this? A theory is nice, but if you pulled out of your ass because it sounds cool... it' means very little.
