You don't like Victoria's Secret mailings? That's the only type of snail mail spam that's any good.
Seriously though, I don't really consider e-mail I get from Amazon or other online retailers spam. Usually I get an email that they received the order and one when it shipped. With most reputable online dealers it's simply a matter of replying to an email ad that you don't want to receive it any longer to be taken off their list.
There is an intriguing story about the discovery of imaginary numbers.
In 1539 the mathematician Tartaglia won a contest involving solving cubic equations. His method used complex numbers, though he did not understand them as such. The mathematician Girolamo Cardano learned the method from him, promising him to keep it secret. However Tartaglia soon died, and Cardano published "Ars Magna" in 1545, in which he described the solution of cubics using imaginary numbers.
But it would be long before complex numbers would be properly understood and not looked upon with awe and mystery.
I have nothing to do with this post but figured if the parent could copy it into the same discussion to be modded up twice I should try the same.
No wonder victims are overstating the problem, it's because they don't like being ignored.
There probably is some truth to this, especially in a civil case when each side may atate extreme positions to allow for bargaining room for pre-trial settlements.
But in the case of criminal trials this shouldn't be the case, especially by the punishment phase of the trial when all of the facts should be known.
On a related note, in cases such as this who normally decides the specific punishment, judge or jury? Or does it vary state to state.
Most cops aren't out there chasing down serial killers, most lawyers aren't fighting some evil corporation, and I doubt many spies blow up a whole lot of stuff. But movies about writing traffic tickets, filing divorce papers and staring at satellite photos aren't that exciting.
You've really got to get out a little more if you're basing career decisions on the movies.
Not always, I hate when I get recorded message telemarketers or a couple of clicks with no one responding. (Although it is easier to hang up on these calls.)
Why does/. have to be so Euro-centric, don't the editors realize that some of us readers are actually American? Why am I supposed to care about a French cartoon?
Come on, an article about the good ole' US of A every once in a while would be nice.
To me this just seems up there with the color coding terror warning system; something to make it look like the people in charge are making us safer but without any real effect.
What role would this truck ever really play in the army? It seems to me that the curent Humvee is probably modular enough to perform any of the tasks that the SmarTruck is designed for.
Oh well, who really expects common sense from the government, if it's for the army of course its a good idea.
The situation is not quite that simple. First off, I think that this only applies to French and German versions of Google.
The important difference though is that white supremacists have never been anything more than a fringe group in the US. In Germany, the reason they are banned is not just that everybody finds Nazis distasteful but that there is an obvious history of them in power.
I'm not sure if banning all of their activities and publications is the best way to limit their appeal, but it is not as simple as it is in the US where the ideas of these fringe groups find traction with only a small percentage of the population.
No, we'd all just have a lot of near misses, nobody on either of those shows could shoot worth a damn. I think the only time anyone actually got shot was in one of the GI Joe movies.
I think Quintus made it to England before Vesuvius erupted, but I'm pretty sure that Cerber us was toast.
(I think this is the same Cambridge series you're talking about)
What's the big deal with registering for the NYTimes? I get 1 email a day that has the day's headlines and have never received any spam from them in the 6 months or so I have been registered. Is complete anonynimity really that important?

that /. would post a story about a website making a mistake. I mean I've never seen a typo or dupe here.

Do you have any references for the difference between the "international" and the "Russian" meter? I'd never heard this before and am curious.

How do I get started in the amateur porn business?
That must be tough when one reviewer likes a movie and another hates it.
As if New Jersey doesn't have a bad enough rap already, you have to go comparing it to planet killing asteroids.
It figures that engineers would be using this stuff to check out women sunbathing.

Those people would never have bought it for full price so you didn't really lose anything.

The patriot act also applies to bookstores, not just libraaries.
ummm...down at the bottom of his review.
Of course during (1) we had plenty of land to give away from the "public purse" (after pushing out whoever was already there).
