Picking the "right tool for the right job" when you're talking computers isn't like deciding whether to use a pair of pliers or axe to cut down a tree. It's like having a box of super tools and each one can do just about anything.
So I'm guessing you use a Mac for P2P and games then?
1. SpamAssassin can run as a daemon, so no need to fire it up for every mail.
I (and at least a few other people) have found SA to be a little unreliable running as a daemon - it often just quits for no reason. You can of course run a cron script to check its running and if not run it again, however many people favour calling the binary for each message which is very resource hungry but more reliable.
Is this acceptable, or another mis-step down the slippery slope?"
Yes it's a step down the slope (you have to ask HOW "they" are going to investigate without email snooping powers), however like most things in life, there is an exception to every rule, and this is definitely a "fun" slip down that slope.
Next I want the death penalty for spammers. I'm available to flip the switch on the chair if needed. I've got my own mask and everything.
Video games cause obesity, so we'll tax them? Give me a break. I can think of a few other things have a much more direct effect on a persons body weight. Like, I dunno, food for example? I think it could be proven that the more food you eat, the more likely you are to be obese. Especially fast food.. why not tax that?
I was wondering recently if taxing things to artificially increase the price actually discourages people from wanting them. Cigarettes for example - I don't smoke and I dont know about the US but in the UK they are expensive however does making something more difficult to get hold of decrease the desire to aquire it or increase it? If cigarettes were free, would kids start to smoke? I believe that increasing the price has the reverse effect - kids want it more; the worst part - how do they get the money? Some will turn to petty crime. People do not stop wanting things because they are expensive, however only honest people will accept they can't afford things and leave it at that.

The link for the binary packages in the link I originally posted works - I tested it first.
I always thought that embedded systems were about rock solid reliability - and I don't think that anyone (even Microsoft) would admit that Win98 qualifies.
At least Win98 is better than the uber sucky WinME.
Truly never before has an "OS" sucked so bad. It must be the most unstable thing I have ever seen.
I've made the entire album available in MP3 format on the Ephelian Records website to facilitate adoption, and I know some people have downloaded the songs, but I can't figure out why no one has pre-ordered the CD.
...when you actually enforce programming deadlines. This game was rushed to be out on the same day of the movie, but as we all know often it's simply not that simple with code!
Lets hope they get it patched up pretty soon - I'm looking forward to playing it.
Anyone know if it contains movie spoilers? I heard it's linked with the plot etc. so I don't want to play it until the movie comes out in the UK (21st)
Don't believe that Animatrix stuff - this is how it really happens...
Everyone knows how addictive MMORPG's are, and the next major thing in gaming will likely be to increase the immersive aspects of it. Next we see some special "totally immersive sens-dep tanks" designed originally for (naturally) pr0n consumption, however they naturally find their way into the gaming community where they become very popular.
Soon.. everyone has one, and, due to an easily missed checkbox on a Microsoft designed acceptance of terms and conditions when installing the new Matrix MMORPG, users find that they actually no longer have the right to quit the game, and without their knowledge, their tank containing their body is shipped to an efficient storage area (which ingeniously uses the body heat of the player to power the gaming servers while decreasing lag due to the closer proximity to the server). Naturally given the pr0n functions of the tanks, many people decide they are better off in the system and due to the technical and biological developments in the real world, are able to breed. Naturally the children grow up knowing only the system and so do not even realise they are trapped in the Gatestrix.
End of the world, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together mass hysteria.
Fortunately for humanity a small group of Mac geeks refused to play the game citing reasons such as "I ain't buying no PC dude". Led by a black polonecked individual known only as "Jobseus" they fight for freedom.

Couldn't someone have just bought El Busho a copies of C&C Generals and SimCity? (in that order).

Considering the amount of cameras around nowadays, perhaps it might be cheaper to only have the symbol where there is no surveillance?
Speaking as an artist who would want my work sold in single format, does anyone know how one gets ones work featured in the iTunes store?
I'm not with a label at the moment or anything, however why should I need to be if my work can be sold online at zero overhead?

In reading your post, I happened to notice that the 32-byte CRC of your comments is divisible by 31.

That's a joke - right?

Believe it or not, something similar has recently been proposed in the UK. The BBC has recently reported that it is proposed that fatty foods should be taxed in the UK.

As you obviously haven't heard of Google, you should check it out.
Is what they will be saying after the cinema gets /.'ed in REAL LIFE!! May god have mercy on their soul!
The movie looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see it.
Hopefully the media attention will pull out of the woodwork all the other fan movies that have sat forgotten.
WHERE'S MY BEER STEIN?!?!?!?
It's on your pants where you normally spill it.
Oh no wait..
Guinness is supposed to be drunk at room temp not 8-10 Deg C.
...but in the UK where Guiness is made, room temperature is 8-10 Deg C ! Well - on a warm day anyway.
DOS is wide open- what kind of back door are you talking about?
I was thinking the same thing - I mean it's not like you needed a password to access a DOS machine.
Maybe hes talking about a default BIOS password lol
Obviously you haven't seen the Steve "monkeyboy" Ballmer video clips..
Actually I have, which is why I started looking at BSD.
I had to ask myself - did I really want to be dependant on a company run by a wanker?

Just open it in a chamber full of N2.
I believe you will find N2O is much more amusing.
Strangely...
I just wrote something similar
