Once again this is an example of a corporation expected the law to protect a ludicrous business model
//devil's advocate ON// Do you have a cell phone? Did you get it FREE when you signed up? How about your DSL modem? Same thing. Why isn't there a big move to hack cell phones or run our DSL with another provider? Ok, we don't have our own towers, blah blah blah. Just wanted to point out that M$ isn't the only company with this business model.//devil's adv OFF//
I guess I'm mostly impartial on this issue, but it seems for the most part we like to scream freedom because it's Bill Gates that we're dealing with. Why is there such a big push to hack it? If it's a freedom thing, what's wrong with the PC you're using? If it's the challenge, beer's to you.
Funny, that's not my impression of your typical spammer. I tend to lump them in with those who jump on the lastest and greatest pyramid scheme that comes along. Not necessarily rich or poor, just not the brightest bulb in the lot.
Good article, but the author assumes that Spam will migrate to look like regular messages. Isn't that somewhat counter-intuitive to marketing stuff? You want something that will catch the reader's eye. I think simply following a link that leads to an ad will tick someone off more than anything. Isn't the target audience for spam those who find flashing text intriguing?
No, I believe it/could/ work, but it's not as simple as slamming a hose on your computer and attaching it to the wall. If it's an exterior wall, you should go ahead and vent it properly like a dryer vent. With an interior wall, you could cut a hole in the wall cap in the attic and attach a fan to help pull the air up. Better yet, run the hose up the wall to the attic. Then you're golden.
But if you're on an interior wall on the first floor and the attic isn't right above you...get a slower CPU.
Agree totally. Remember Eagle Talon? When I was in college, it was the car I dreamed about. Even went to the assembly plant in Illinois. This car was the same thing as the Mitsubishi Eclipse. They slapped a different logo on and the ground effects and spoilers were somewhat different. However, the main distinction between the two was sales. The Eclipse was $3k or $4k MORE and OUTSOLD the Talon. Eagle no longer even exists, and they're stilling pounding out the Eclipse to this day, some 5 years later!!
Consumers spent more for the same car strictly due to name recognition.
You're right, the missions are out of sequence, but there have been over 100 missions. I believe this is the 112th flight (incl 51L). If you feel like counting see spaceflight.nasa.gov.
Honestly, I can't believe people stand in line for hours for these sales. Yeah, there's some pretty good deals, but people's time must not be important to them. I think it's the same thing that drives people to collect a bagful a free crap at a trade show. They just never realize that they don't need it and only focus on the fact they didn't have to pay for it. Or, maybe in some sick, twisted, sadistic way they actually enjoy being in crowds of people scavange for crap.
I've been online for 3 min now after upgrading my SuSE install to 8.0. The main thing that was keeping me back was the winmodem issue. But after a trip to linmodems, I'm up and running. A bit easier than I thought it would be.
At least exploding CO2 and H20 is environmentally friendly. Aluminum foil and toilet bowl cleaner (H-Cl) used in the same manner got my neighbor in trouble when we were in school. Funny how things like that seem MUCH louder at 2 am...

Spammers have a lot of money

300,000 what? Francs? Or did he get put in an exec position in the multi-million $$ family business?
...$5 a month...it's apparently been working great
Especially for the telephone company WHO SOLD THE NUMBER IN THE FIRST PLACE!! Now they profit again each month.
uncrewed? as opposed to good taste?
Consumers are stupid.

Its just going to tick people off so much that they either build their own
So when's the last time you built your own laptop?
They know how to handle space stations, we don't.
I wish you had read up a little on the subject before saying something like that. A good read.
take a look at the state of your inbox before you say that with confidence.
Wow. You almost made me shed a tear. Well, I'd better get back to my chocolate ice cream and Hugh Grant movie.
Sorry...had to do it.
that's all the higher the shuttle can go
Before you state that Nasa is just blowing air out their asses, make sure you're not blowing air out your own.
As for mothballing, moth ball away...
Let's hope your boss doesn't take the same attitude toward your job as you have toward mine. Happy holidays.

This is close.
Think that's bad? Some think everyone is being duped into believing the Earth is flat.
RTFCAY (Comment Above Yours) and you'll see that he DOES do those adverts.
Fish slapper.

So because you don't want someone to see where you surfing means you're a pervert or hacking? Sounds like you've got a guilty conscience...
Hey, you're that shark I've been hearing about.
...
I'm just a dolphin ma'am.
Oh, well in that case...
Irregardless, LCD Displays won't help you remember you're PIN Number at the ATM Machine.
I would recommend against posting this to Slashdot
Somehow I don't think my mom will hear about evil cable companies from Slashdot...
