Don't go that far. Propagation delay means anything transmitted in a long enough wire is "stored" there (It works like a very inefficient electromagnetic version of a mercury delay line). So even if the telco dosen't install the LegalExcus-O-matic(R) FIFO buffer they can still spy on you.
"Hi, I'm from your ISP. Can I interest you in our MailSecure service where we don't forward the, shall we say... interesting mail to your spouse? If you are not interested we can recommend a good devorce lawyer, it's almost just as cheap!"
Not everyone wants to or has the technical knowledge to administer a mail server. Slashdot might me populated by geeks who would have no problem doing that but we mustn't forget that the rest of the world is populated by people that ignore what SMTP is and just know to push the button and make their email go. And to an extent that's how it's supposed to be. I too am against total technical ignorance for internet users but somewhere there is a line they shouldn't have to cross.
When faced with a situation that requires resolution I too often forget that I am a minority and Joe Novice User rules the earth, and I suspect am not the only one in the slashdot crowd that does it.
That's a great system. Defeats any keylogger, plus the bank can deploy it to selected users if they are worried of scaring clients away with the RSA acronym . A bank in greece uses one-time transaction validation codes (you get a list of one-time "PINs" from the bank and go rof a refill when you use them up) but this is better still.
I keep a long list of links to IE/Windows holes Can you post the links? I can think of half a dosen IE only sites I'd like to send similar letters to and I suspect am not alone in this.
I saw the intelligent stick about a year and a half back and thought it would be better known and more widespread by now. The concept of a flash storage card with an interface already existing in PCs was a stroke of genious (though that's kind of what was tried with the compactflash, its interface being a downsised PCMCIA bus). Yet the company is a small one and thus I have yet to see a portable device supporting them. It is a pity, a portable device supporting this thing, or better yet any off the shelf FAT formatted USB disk would have a huge advantage in versatility over anything that exists today. I know flash readers are dirt cheap but you still have to drag one around. Imagine being on vacation and unloading your digital camera in an internet cafe, or loading your PDA with a file you want in a friend's house.
I've connected a hub to the only PC I have to get rid of the little icon in the taskbar (can't disable the ethernet adapter, flexlm needs to read the MAC address).
" If people want to try to get removed from the spam list then they use the method outlined in the spam"
People are reluctant to use this as most times it just verifies your e-mail address to the spammer. A "trusted" third party that would oversee the removal of the address would have a use (thow I agree SpamCop does not, should not and never intended to play that role).
" I don't think the Government there really cares if teens are using it to look at porn or not"
If that's true they can mandate a pr0n portal as a homepage on every browser and only ban girls.
there's not a legal use of the numbers that you are publishing?
I use to use random data to check checksums and handshaking... I'll use these keys from now on.
Now there's a legal use.
As long as they don't use tachyons:
-I'm calling from the cassino. We've got all the balls from your game next Sunday. You owe us $1337
-How much!?! I'm so staying home next Sunday
Temporal paradox destroys the left half of the milky way.
You can build the skin out of a flammable poisonus material and combust it releasing deadly fumes! Or you could coat it with poison and rasor sharp parbs and just run it into the intended victim for a subtler approach. Well you can't really do that any more: I'm off to patand it:-)
I'm not sure. He's beaten Satan but that was because he took a dive. In the "Spirit of christmas" though he uses energy projectiles against Santa. Now if he took Hercules by sourprise....
If an one wants to promote a product to people actively wanting promotions of said product there are a lot of ways. If i want my penis enlarged I can just google for it and get 100 pages of good links. The problem is spammers want to get to people who have no interest in their product (this means Adv: messages get deleted on arrival). Spam, like many other forms of advertising, is meant to be intrusive, as is evident by the spammers' efforts to bypass spam filters. The problem is while ads on television help pay for the programs I watch, making them necessary for the TV's main purpose, there is nothing for anyone but the spammer to be gained from spam. Spam is't free advertising, it's a very costy form of advertising in which the user and its ISP picks up the bill.
What we want is for a computer to be able to preform a simple mental. The object of all reaserch on chess is not to provide competition for pros but to evaluate how well we can train a computer to mimic a human thought process. Results from this research could be used to train computers to drive, grade essays, develope math theorems, semantically understand human speech. Chess is just a good enough training ground for now as it's well defined, deterministic and hard enough (for a few more years anyway).
In most computer architecture papers, GNU's go and not a chess program is used as a benchmark. Still I think I read someware that computer go programs are still no match for professional go players, go being more complex than chess. If that is really the case I can see why people would be waiting for computers to gain an advantage over pro chess players before they tackle go.

"They require us to use McAfee's antivirus"
So if you don't use windows you can't use their network?
Check out pretec's tiny drives. Full marks for style and small enough for a keychain.

You'd have Caller-ID and thus be able to switch the sound on from the beginning of the call.

He rolls the NPC's intelligence check silly.
