"Do not offer sympathy to the mentally ill.
Tell them firmly:
I am not paid to listen to this drivel.
You are a terminal boob."
-- William S. Burroughs
Seriously. Two fragmented sentences and obviously using the wrong word at the end there. I'm not one to normally nit-pick over English but come the hell on.
As a kid I learned on BASIC. For some reason the line numbers really helped me. I saw C but without an introduction to programming, it seemed so "free form" that I couldn't understand what was going on. I'd imagine you can't walk too far in a cube farm without tripping over someone's old copy of Quick Basic, so that should be easy to get.
If not that, then Pascal is verbose and well-structured. Reading it out loud almost makes sense in English.
For Pascal, you can either download an old version of Turbo Pascal from Borland: http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,20803, 00.html or ask a buddy -- someone is bound to have a copy lying around. I know I've seen it in bargain bins at book stores in the past.
Because I want to. Because I have all the rights to sit in my tower and run an SMTP server. I use software that correctly implements SMTP. I don't have an open relay. I spent a considerable amount of time to make sure my server was set up responsibly. Does my ISP? I think so. I'm not sure. Just because they can afford to be colocated/comanaged at some hosting company does not make them any more of an admin than me.
Listen, it's this lame SMTP protocol with no security that is the problem. Not my little PII server.
FYI, I do use my ISPs SMTP server for outgoing mail, but I'm just saying that AOL's policy is a band-aid on a bullet wound. They are restricting me when I did nothing wrong and in the long run it won't do much to stop spam.
If you want to run a real mail server, perhaps you should get a real internet conenction, like Colocation or T1.
What, because I can't afford a Hummer I should just trade in my Jeep and stick to the Ford Focus like a good little American taxpayer? That's a pretty elitist thing to say.
While I'm ranting, the original poster goes on and on about how RFC-ignorant AOL is being by doing this, then turns around at the very end and suggests that everyone follow AOL in ignoring an RFC. "Hello, Pot? This is Kettle. You're black."
A few weeks ago my toilet was having a problem, so I opened up the top to have a look. I forgot about the always-present Gameboy Color I keep in the can and it slid right into the water tank.
Took it apart, let it dry for a day, now I'm playing Tetris in the crapper like before.
I would also like to get this information -- quite by coincidence today I was talking with a friend about using a GBC/GBA screen for a personal little project.
Here here! I've been waiting for that stupid 256MB memory stick since last year. I love my super-cool Sony F707 still camera (I know, new model just came out, I'm so-last-month) but I get pretty irked looking at those 256MB CF cards sitting right next to a 128MB stick with the same price.

I built a Flying Crank Ghost this year and it looks awesome. I've gotten lots of good comments on it from those who've seen it.
Here's the guy's site that I followed to build mine:

That's funny, she told me you had a chicken chest.

What language was this post written in? Amazing.
How did they train all those white guys? That's amazing.
Holy crap, I had to read that paragraph 4 times to figure out what was being said.
I for one say good riddance to our alien radio-emitting overlords.

Maybe, just maybe, she could also try Delphi (think Visual Basic but with Pascal and not as icky), the Personal edition is free: http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download _delphi.html
Wow. That is brilliant. I must remember this logic when justifying to the wife later this year...
yeah

I do sympathize with the AOL admins, I really do.
