Honestly though, I didn't think much of Firefly at first, but it's kind of grown on me, especially the last couple of episodes.
I though Dark Angel was great. Ok, maybe it was just JA, but the show was enjoyable. I'm very disappointed in Fox though, they cancel shows like Firefly and Dark Angel at the drop of a hat. I mean come on, take a look at the first Simpsons season. You've got to give a show some time to find itself.
I've got several hotmail addresses that have never received a single piece (other than from MS). Had them for months and years in some cases. Get Ad-Aware and check your system for spyware like Comet Cursor and other trash.
Number of Slashdotters who believe in Larry Ellison's Next Great Idea (TM)...lots
Number of Slashdotters who whine and post conspiracy theories about Hotmail selling your address...lots
Number of Slashdotters who realise that SPAMMERs are not stupid and randomly try combinations of words and numbers (bob1@hotmail.com, bob2, bob3...)...Priceless
For everything else there is (as Homey D-Clown said) a C-O-N-spiracy
The cost for Ghost (and my major beef with it) is $20 or so **PER GHOSTED CLIENT PC**.
Yes, that's right, $20 for each PC you install using a ghost image. The old ghost license was $200 or $500 and you could use it to dupe as many PCs as you'd like. Well Norton figured out they could make more money charging on a per-client basis. So now you pay $15 for the media and $20 a license.
You can create as many ghost image files as you'd like. But each PC you install with those images is $20. Ghost now writes a registry entry to the installed PC to show it was created with a specific version of Ghost. So if Norton or the BSA decides to audit you they can scan and see.
I'd be willing to pay $2000 for a site license but Norton doesn't work that way. I love Ghost, I've been using it for years, but companies like Norton and CA need to learn people hate client licenses and will switch to a competing product just as soon as they can.
...umm America is "dumping" its waste on the 3rd world? You mean like the billions of dollars we've "dumped" into South America, Africa and Europe in the form of loans over the years. Wait wait...who was it again that paid to rebuild Europe after WW2? Who's effort and blood helped defeat Germany and Japan?
America has taken in millions of immigrants and our schools are full of foreign students. Does America use a lot of natural resources? You bet. All that free wheat and corn we ship to North Korea and Africa have to get harvested somehow. You can't have the world's largest GNP without using the largest amount of energy.
Most of the people who complain about dumping seem to forget it's places like China that are *importing* our waste to reprocess it. No one is forcing it on them.
Be sure to remember that when you pull on your polyester clothes, use your anti-asthma inhaler and are given an IV through a plastic tube.
I laugh about all the people complaining about "non-natural" stuff here. We live a heck of a lot longer than cavemen, despite the fact that they were 100% "natural". Nature does not equal perfection.
Another fine piece of Slashdot reporting. I guess no one saw fit to report the new gaping holes in "unbreakable" Oracle.
I guess bugs only matter if they're curtesy of Microsoft. If Bill was smart he'd grow a scruffy beard, claim his O/S is unbreakable and come up with rediculous predictions once a week (NetPC, etc.). No one would bother him then.
I wish Slashdot would grow up and become a real news site, you know, just the facts maam. Instead it's a whine fest for people with an axe to grind. Report the news, and save your commentary for the comments section.
Geez, I don't know what so many people are complaining about. It's nice to see something that breaks up the usual Slashdot monotony. You know, the typical daily:
1. YAMB - Yet Another Microsoft Bug (tm)
2. Why Micro$oft is bad, and how Bill Gates ruined Christmas
3. Cletus runs Linux in his double-wide, the 50 page expose'
4. Judge Dredd hears yet more testimony in the M$ trial, after 4 years, we still care
5. KDE integrates Konquerer into the O/S, 1000's cheer.
6. Microsoft adds a font to Winblows 3000, Adobe sues for monopoly "tying" feature to OS
7. Netscape (who?) releases MooZilla 3.0 RC6 beta 7.0a, 0.0000005% of websurfers everywhere rush to download.
8. Larry Elison comes up with another dumb idea, this one will work! (NetPC, Unbreakable Orikle)
9. Apple releases new Mac that only schools can buy, and why you should give a rat's ass.
10. New replacement penis runs Linux, with BlueTooth it will talk to your watch. Never be late for an erection again!
I wish Slashdot editors would post more porn. My fingers are getting numb scrolling over crap like the above on the front page.
They call it PMS because MadCow Disease was already taken.
So Linux is making inroads into movie render farms. So did SGI/IRIX and look at where that took them.
If Linux wants to take over the world it needs to out-Microsoft Microsoft. Embrace and extend.
Look at Evolution and their Outlook replacement. Looks like Outlook, works like Outlook and connects to Exchange servers. Now that's a product that gives corporate IT execs wet dreams at night.
Umm I have to disagree with the article's author here. It's ok for the signs "posted by regular people in my community" who are just "trying to make a buck" but all the blame should be shouldered by Herbalife, another one of those greedy corporations.
I'm fed up with people taking the easy way out and trying to blame some single person, or more commonly, a "greedy" corporation. That's a load of crap. The responsiblity for this trash on the streets is shared by BOTH Herbalife AND the gullible idiots who post the signs, dreaming of easy cash. Get a JOB losers!
I also like the author talking about people fighting "big-business pollution". Yes, fight big business polution, but also beat your neighbor when they pour their oil down the storm drain. Both companies AND individual people have to take responsibility for their actions. If you spill hot coffee on your lap it will burn you. Duh.

I see they're located in Bakersfield, that checks. And a whole class C to play with. SPAMMING must pay well. I've also gotten SPAM from these jerks before, looks like Broadwing doesn't give a crap. Anyone know somebody at Broadwing??
IMHO searching the meta information is really critical, it's one of the reasons I loved Morpheus.
Most people out there haven't learned how to use long file names, let along long file names that make sense. Trying to figure out which eposide you're downloading when the file is named "bundy.mpg" is a pain.
The meta information is great, and really expands the number of results you get. Does anyone know of Gnutella clients that support meta info?
Post his address as anonymous. Then we can all head over to Security Focus and find a nice 'spolit to show him how much we love his crap.
I can't believe you're worried about him suing you for posting his IP. I mean just like he said, if he has a God given right to send SPAM, you certainly have the right to tell everyone about it. I believe I've got a God given right to lauch DDOS and hack attacks against these jerks.
No, freedom of speech is not absolute. You do not have the "right" to lie, or slander others. You also do not have the right to advocate violent overthrow of the government. You may seek peaceful governmental change, but advocating violence is not acceptable.
And it doesn't need to be. All he has to do is get 3/4 of the people in America to agree with him and they can change the Constitution to whatever they want, a Socialist government, Anarchy, or whatever they prefer.
Of course what these tiny little anti-globalization protesting groups don't understand is that the majority of Americans don't agree with them.
I for one am proud that Americans have worked as hard as we have to make this nation great. I don't think we bear a responsiblity to do everything for every other 3rd world country. Every time there's a problem in some other part of the world these guys ask "what is America doing to help". Give me a break. American's made their country great, why don't some of these other places do the same. If they work hard enough they can accomplish the same thing.
Of course people like this little punk can't understand that. They assume everyone else is too "stupid" or "greedy" and assume that hacking and molotav cocktails will show us all the "truth". What morons.
I've been sending SPAM to abuse/postmaster/uce@ftc.gov for months, but most ISPs will just terminate the account if they even bother.
We should be encouraging hackers to point their skills towards a noble goal: shutting down SPAMMER websites. SPAMMER's would take notice when their sites were hacked and redirected to Spamcop. And ISPs would really start to check accounts if their service became a transport for DDOS attacks against a SPAMMER.
Come on hackers it's easy. Create a hotmail account and post just once to USENET. I'm still getting SPAM 4 years after posting 1 message to USENET with a real address. Do something positive to the Internet community for a change. Get to work hacking those jerks' sites!
You also have VAT (Value Added Tax) and euro-government subsidized aircraft manufacturers (Airbus). Not to mention the German (.de) tree huggers who chew the US out about not supporting the Kyoto CO2 emissions limits, but are shutting down the clean German nuclear plants and replacing them with CO2, polluting oil generators.
Of course you also have great beer, pr0n on TV, and plenty of cute women. Hmm, how about hosting a deprived American guy like me for a month?;-)
Why don't you head back to Roswell? Next you'll be hyping the idea that we never really landed on the moon.
Conspiracy theories are a sign of limited intelligence.
Why do you think that every story on Slashdot has to be about Linux, Microsoft or Steve (Hand) Jobs?
I can't believe some people have nothing better to do that bring this up under every article. Personally I'd be more interested in discussing if this movie is subtitled or dubbed, and why anyone would butcher anime with dubbing. Crouching Tiger proved that American audiences will watch subtitles movies. Dubbing is just wrong. Can you imagine The Terminator in French?? "We we, I'll be le back". IMHO language is just an integral part of a film.
And if you are determined to turn slashdot into a Linux/MS only discussion site, do us all a favor and just use the following substitution for slashdot:
lynx www.linuxtoday.com | sed 's/Linus/Cmdr Taco/g' | sed 's/Microsoft/Micro$oft/g'
Oh no! Microsoft has released a new product! It's a conspiracy, they want to dominate the world, it has security holes and crashes a lot. Microsoft sucks, Linux rules! Linux is great, and everyone should use it! Free software forever!
There are many types of fundamentalism my friend.
This article is more proof that the liberals decrying the goverment's reasonable restrictions on ESC's are morons. If this research proves true (and that's an IF) ECS would be unnecessary.
Yep, I love Ranma 1/2 too. As someone mentioned previously they are available on DVD with both Subtitles and Dubbing now! Finally anime companies are getting DVD right. No more arguments about subbing/dubbing. But who could imagine Ranma in English???
If you like Ranma you should also check out Rumiko Takahashi's other works, especially Urusei Yatsura. If you thought Ranma was funny you have never met Lum yet. Search the web, and for the DVDs check out Animeigo.
We're trying to ferret out their secret plans for igloo construction!
Canada - It's not just for polar bears anymore
PS - Canadians are cool, we've got to pick on someone, the British don't get our jokes, and the French...well that's too easy.
I'm surprised too. There wasn't anything in the article about how great Linux, the MAC, or one of Steve hand-Jobs new ideas are. What is Slashdot coming to?
Coming next week to Slashdot: Elvis spotted in Cupertino, 100's ask: "Does this for-tel a blue suede iMAC?"

Plot? Dark Angel had Jessica Alba in tight hotpants. It didn't need a freaking plot.
Honestly though, I didn't think much of Firefly at first, but it's kind of grown on me, especially the last couple of episodes.
I though Dark Angel was great. Ok, maybe it was just JA, but the show was enjoyable. I'm very disappointed in Fox though, they cancel shows like Firefly and Dark Angel at the drop of a hat. I mean come on, take a look at the first Simpsons season. You've got to give a show some time to find itself.
