a picture of my mother falls under copyright. my mother has a say in it if someone publishes that. The copyright on the characters Jezus, Mary and god have long since disappeared, since the authors died more than 1000 years ago. Now if the bible was written by Walt Disney, copyright would have been extended several times by now, and we'd see cases of unlicenced christianity.//rdj
Well, since research has shown that videogames can decrease intelligence, I guess it's perfect for the army.. dont want the recruits to think for themselves.. let's give'em games.//rdj
>Abusing workers of a company only decreases employee moral
which makes them less productive and less willing to work for that company. This makes life hard for the company. which is most likely what they set out to do, because the senders most likely feel wronged. it's a perfectly legit way to screw a company if they've screwed you.
if there's REALLY a lot of complaints, they most likely have a grain of truth.. in which case I feel not a shred of remorse. That's how the market works, unfortunately. to get things done, hit a company in the wallet.//rdj
well... I see a good side. becauyse the one thing that will not be flagged is.. Ads! so we have lots of flagged content, and we have unflagged ads. so we just turn it round, record what's flagged, skip what's not, TADA! thank you for a wonderful spamfilter..//rdj
yeah.. I've noticed the same(I'm also both programmer and tech-support).. you never hear how well something works.. you just get the problems..
except for one client that is.. who has actually called about how good it was. Does wonders, that. And the programmer will be a lot mote inclined to try just that little extra..//rdj
ever seen cool screenshots from games made by players? that's fair use. So is blowing up a still from a movie to poster-size, and hanging it on your wall.
1) a EULA is a contract of sorts. 2) a contract isn't valid if all signers arent in a sound state of mind (or whatever that's called in english) 3) keep a bottle of scotch handy. drink before accepting any EULA.

yes, so was I..struck me as strange too, but it works. [table][tr][form][td][input][/td][/form][/ tr][/tab le] is incorrect, but [form][table][tr][td][input][/td][/tr][/table][/ fo rm] IS correct..
the form tag is incorrectly placed in the first example, input tags are, according to validator, outside of a valid form which makes'em wrong.
no, it is not like yelling fire in a theatre. It's more like sitting in a crowded theatre repeating mantras like: "fire, earthquake, volcano, copyright-infringement, dynamite". which, although silly, isn't illegal.
>Not only must Spammers Die, they must Die in a horrible, fearsome fashion
No!!! they must LIVE in a horribly painful situation, preferably without limbs, senses and bound to a stockade in the middle of town for people to spam them with.. say.. rotten tomatoes, eggs, and cans of SPAM(tm).

>If you could press a button and kill a spammer on the other side of the world, would you do it?
no, I want to see him suffer, and I want him to know it was me..
//rdj
no it isn't, since not mentioning god is not the same as denying its existence.
the phrase "I like daffodils" is neither theist, deist or atheist.
//rdj
as opposed to what.. hot dogs?
//rdj
your signature falls under copyright, since it's a written work. so yes, you do own your signature.
//rdj
actually.. no, since a properly controlled policeforce may have legitimate interests in the data (such as the case you mentioned)

one more reason to kick people who grin at me in the face ;)

put your form tags outside of the table, or keep the form(including form tags) in 1 table cell.

no, we do NOT need 1 browser. We need a clear standard for writing web-pages. Strangely enough, there is just such a standard..
