If say 5 or 10 DIFFERENT people mark the same user they could be marked as a spimmer, and AIM could be set up to automatically ignore IM's from spimmers.
I have been an AOL beta tester for many years. (I know I know but my parents refuse to leave AOL so I "barrowed" one of the screen names to use free for me incase my ISP goes down). Anyway tangent aside... I have been constantly asking them (AOL) to set-up a feature like this. But everytime I bring it up they just keep ignoring it. Maybe if more people complain to these messenger services then maybe some action will be taken.
We're going to conclude that at least 10 people did. It relieves the copyright owner of having to prove that any violation of their rights actually happened.

I am hoping that the US government still has some sort of checks and balances system in effect here. To me this seems like the judicial system will shoot down this law/bill because it seems to take away the thought of "innocent until proven guilty." But who knows I have seen even more obscure things come from the judicial system before. Not sure where it was but a man had to spend 3 months in jail for stealing an ice cream sandwich from a grocery store. It is just things like that that make you wonder about the legal system in this country.
This is most likely just to keep people from submitting more than one form, kind of a quasi security measure. Although I am sure that there are much better ways of doing this.
I know I am going to take a karma hit on this one but this is basically out of curiosity...
I am just wondering how do you make this argument legitimate? I mean sure a skilled cracker can break into a Windows system and morph it to how they want under administrator privileges, but if there is a admin that has at least the basic understanding of permissions and policies, a system is locked down and kept up to date on the patches it is nearly impossible for the average joe-schmo to gain administrative rights on a Windows OS based computer.
I agree 100%, I just moved to a new place where I am forced to use dial-up because I am in an area that does not have access to DSL, cable, or anything else that is still decently priced... anyway when I run a search on google it takes at most 5 seconds to get the listing back of the results. If this program needs to send an email to the user letting them know the search results this will take at least 2 maybe 3 times longer (in the fastest instance) for the user to get the results. I think that MIT needs to re-think their ideas and come up with something more useful rather than coming up with something that will just cause more headaches to the users forced to use the slow connections like myself.
I am sure that there are more *new* desktops in use than there are laptops. You have to take into the account the amount of people that build their own desktops as compared to those who build laptops (not too many people that I know of build their own laptops). I would say give it a few more years and then I can see laptops truly outselling desktops.

This is not always the best method. Most likely the buggiest patch that Microsoft has ever released is XP Service Pack 1 and I don't know how long it has been out maybe 8-9 months. I have not talked to anyone that has installed this that has not had an issue with it. Anything ranging from complete system failure, to unable to browse your companies network. But still Microsoft has not updated this yet, or pulled it. I just tried it again on my office computer with all the after patches (patches to fix the patch) and I still ran into the same old problems. I will give Microsoft credit for attempting to fix this problem, but they don't seem to have it as a high priority.

Hey everybody we're going streaking through the quad and into the gymnasium....
Is it that or did you fry it trying to install Linux on it?
"OS X will probably be fixed and free from defects for another couple of months."
The "defects" (which other people may call "Features") are already there; they have just not been discovered yet.

Great now you will have every person on /. trying this at home just to see what it does... TYVM for single handedly killing the /. community.
