  1. Re:why is ICanSpam a defense? on Spammers Sue Spamee · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can also say based on the fact that I work just down the street from these spammers. None of the building on 55 Bridge street are very big so the campany can't be very big either. Anyone have some good suggestions on how to annoy them in person without being arrested?

    agreed. They are a ton of places on the net or ebay where I have paid $15 for cell phone and camera Lithium-ion batteries and $50 for notebook batteries (all new but aftermarket). We've been getting scammed for years on batteries.

    90kbps is for high quality. With Vonage you can actually dial it down to only 30kbps. I tried it at both settings and I can't really tell the difference.

    IANAA but just to split hairs, you don't have to pay FICA or medicare on winnings. Only on income. The topic came up too with the Oprah cars. They were $28K cars that most of them had to pay about $7K for.

  9. Re:A real answer... on Integrating Linux into a Windows Network? · · Score: 1

    I'd suggest you're think a bit small on your response. ~$15 per user. Maybe if they are just using file sharing. If they are using Exchange take on license there. Take on more when they have to "upgrade" Outlook and Exchange because the old version is no longer supported. Add in some more licensing for SQL Server too. Oh one manager is using MS Project, oh now half the company is yelling for it. Microsoft get expensive quick

  10. A few reasons on Mozilla 1.7.5 Released · · Score: 1

    First off my I use the fluxbox window manager on gentoo. Since fluxbox is lightwieght it doesn't link thunderbird and firefox together. So I can't click on a link someone emails me in thunderbird or a mailto link in firefox and have it come up. It does come up in mozilla. I know this is not an issue in KDE or gnome because those are feature full (also bloated) window managers. I do consider this a bug and assume that it will be fix sometime. My second reason is the html editor. I like it because it keep the html simple and doesn't put tons of extra crap into it like say Frontpage. Even the editor in open office I think goes to far.

    This article was not written with a slashdot audience in mind. It was written for people interested in photography. Sorry but, in general people with a high interest in photography are likely be the creative right brain types apposed to the analytical left brain types here at Slashdot. Flash was the appropriate medium to deliver content to the target audience.

    You're likely right about this however, you can buy "medical" grade blank CD-Rs. They cost more than your standard ones but, TDK claims that the have a 100 year life expectency. Here's a link I found that explains the difference.

    Don't you realize that attitude is the cause of rants #1 and #3. The games and drivers will come once lot of people are on linux. As for #2, all digital camera software sucks wise up and just get a flash card reader for $5. Even on my windows box I prefer the flash reader.

    Well, no. vegetable farming, in a nutshell, is taking pleasure in killing something else. I eat tomatoes and corn and enjoy both, but let's not pretend farming's anything noble or magnificent. Or anything more than overweight white people in boots and covered in fertilizer, havesting several football fields aday with a high-powered tractors. If you can't get to a supermarket, okay, I can understand why you'd need to farm. And if you walked up to your prey bare-footed and cut its roots with a knife, okay, I might even find respect for farms. As it stands now, though, I have nothing but contempt for the overweight rednecks who need a hoe and a vege plater to feel like man.
