There's a really cool website that does that for cocktails. I never mind just finishing up those random eight bottles straight... but when you're trying to get laid, this site rules! Check it out here.
I remember watching this class at SFSU in a class called "Arts and Humanities in Computer Science." Well, remember as well as I can through the haze that was my first year of college. Our instructor mentioned that the reason the film seemed so choppy was that large portions of the film had actually been lost. I'm hoping this remake will include some of those "lost" scenes.
Remember that video game Time Traveler? This used a display just like this. About 5 or 6 years ago all the tech mags swore that each and every American family would watch their daily TV on one of these things by the year 2002 or so... where's mine?
You're not the quickest in the bunch, are you? That why you don't work there anymore? Even SPAMMERS fired you? So all I have to do is click unsubscribe, really? You don't seem to understand. First of all, I would never do that, because it is a prime way to let spammers know I exist. Secondly, I don't want to have to send back 35 unsubscribe messages every day. I have better things to do with my time, like yet at spammers on./!
Yes, this does become a catastrophe. I know people in other states whose only form of communication with me is e-mail. Your company (yes, yours... I blame it all on you;) ) forces me to constantly change this address, or possibly skip over expected messages. If e-mail accounts all came with a reliable "unsolicited e-mail on" and "unsolicited e-mail off" button, this would not be so bad. But they don't. I wish they did. I wish you did.
Billboards, TV commercials, etc do not impare my communication with friends, family, and business. The billboards to not hop in my glove box and impare my driving. The TV commercials (although sometimes distracting my gf from her mouthful of my *%&#^%) do not impare my beer-drinking. You, however, impare the sanity of decent web-surfers like me. Humph.
Waiver: I'm not really this mad, but work is boring.
You're still not getting this. Just because you view something as "appropriate" doesn't mean everyone else does. Maybe I hate making money and love looking a barnyard pr0n. The point is, I did not request e-mails from your sneaky little company. Just who makes the ultimate decision as to what is fair to send unsolicited and what is not? Not morons like you, I hope. Diediedie. 'Nuff said.
Your post reminds me of KKK members who truely in their hearts believe they are doing something good for this world.
It doesn't matter that your e-mails were only 1k, you f***ing jerk. I am forced to switch e-mail accounts every 4-6 months because of idiots like you. Sifting through a list of headers containing 1k e-mails and 100k e-mails makes no difference whatsoever.
How about my buddies and I (about 10,000 of them) pin you down and pummel you with punches all day long. Don't worry, though, they will be "polite" and "little" ones. What was that - you didn't ask to get punched?
This kind of practice is what will, sooner than later I suppose, drive e-mail back into the dark ages. Wake up!!!
I think that an EULA like this would apply more-so to one who had pirated the software. Running even a pirated version of this would expose your computer to the scrutiny of M$ - scrutiny that is even less-wanted by people like you and I who most likely have massive amounts of software that we may have "delayed" on paying any licensing fees for. I wonder how long it will be before I boot up my XP partition to an empty hard drive and picture of a disapproving Bill shaking his finger at me... or an FBI agent at my door.
I believe that the relevant information on the computers would be the e-mail correspondences between the accused telling each other how they accomplished this. The article mentions something like that.
Kazaalite.com
Kazaa with spyware removed. Just make sure to install a good virus program and scan each download before opening. I've had great success with downloading full albums, cracked games, movies, etc.
Does this mean I can hack into some little kid's (Insert-Name-Of-Stupid-Video-Game-Char-Here) and upload a patch to display all opposing characters as completely nude, full-figured women?
Or bust my way over to a Middle-East gaming area and put the head of Osama on all the bosses? Wait, do they still have electricity over there?
Why do people mod comments like this down. This particular comment, in my opinion, could start a good discussion concerning "the need to bring linux to the masses." Moderation is designed to make for interesting reading, not to hide the opinions that do not coincide with your own.
I completely agree with the above poster. Not everyone in the world needs linux. Accordingly, not every linux user needs Windows.
I'm not too sure of the politics surrounding this movement, but I'm curious as to everyone's opinions on the following (From the U.L. FAQ):
"We want as many Linux distributors to join this effort as possible. That means not just Red Hat but also Mandrake, Red Flag and all the others around the globe. Each and every one of them is invited to join this initiative and Red Hat has been called by this group and invited personally already. It is our hope that the initial work done by Caldera, Conectiva, SuSE and Turbolinux leads to the creation a much larger group."
I've seen a lot of people commenting that RedHat should "look out"... Is the above invitation merely to appear diplomatic, or is it sincere? It seems that RedHat, being somewhat of an industry standard in itself, would have much to offer to such a project: experience, market-share, credibility, etc...
Try doing some research before you respond. Hotmail suspends accounts and deletes inboxes if you do not log in for 30 days. He says he hadn't logged in for much longer than that. Idiot.
I see the point of the fraud being hard to put a stop to. Maybe terminals having a small LCD that would bring up a photo of the person who's print is being scanned? This database shouldn't be too hard to keep up... think DMV.

Oops, what I meant to type was "the MSFBI."
Haven't you heard about the merger?

This is great... but I believe LSD loses its potency after sitting around in those dusty basements for so long...

" I think we will see a large influx of users coming over from Microsoft"
For this? I can see the headlines now (front page of course):
LINUX FIXES MINOR BUG - WORLD REJOICES
Come on now, get a grip.
Kazaalite.com Kazaa with spyware removed. Just make sure to install a good virus program and scan each download before opening. I've had great success with downloading full albums, cracked games, movies, etc.
While these may seems trivial, I can think of at least one product not mentioned here that may benefit from this:
contraceptive devices
This is not meant to be funny... this is a dept. seriously lacking in safe products.

No problem. Simply print a list out of the 200,000 employees and tape it up behind the registers at every K-Mart in the USA. Problem solved.
"Wham. Another terrorist bites the dust. Who scored the kill?
...
or the taxpayer who paid for the whole shebang."
I can get hitpoints for paying taxes?
Granted, my linux partition takes a bit longer to boot than my XP. But, rebooting takes up quite a bit of time as well...
"What about PDAs? They are innovative without disrupting existing revenue streams."
Tell that to those poor folk in china who spend 16 hours days binding together those nifty 3"x5" spiral notepads. Have you no heart!?
Try doing some research before you respond. Hotmail suspends accounts and deletes inboxes if you do not log in for 30 days. He says he hadn't logged in for much longer than that. Idiot.
Hotmail cancels accounts idle > 30 days. Intersting how you were still able to check yours.
Did you log in remotely from the bathroom, or are you one of those people who are paranoid about using a public toilet and ran home to do the job?
