That's *NOT* why they created and supported the bill. The bill was proposed because these two democrats believed that America would be less likely to start wars without the full backing of the citizens if ALL children within draft age were at risk; the main point of the bill was elimination of the loopholes rich congressmen use to keep their own kids out of draft wars.
My local college's proxy blocks stuff with an iron fist. I tried google's cache, the internet archive, that other archive that popped up recently.... no matter the method, I can't reach gamefaqs from school:(
Furthermore I wonder why the RIAA hasn't gone after.binaries newsgroups
Duh, they aren't going after newsgroups because then they'd have ISPs, with legal defense teams, to fight against instead of penniless college students or 11 year old kids. At this point, they aren't trying to END copyright infringement by suing people into bankruptcy, just deter it.
You don't need an extension to use BugMeNot w/ firefox. This will work in mozilla as well.
Create a new bookmark for the following address: http://www.bugmenot.com/view.php?url=%s
Then add a keyword, such as "bugmenot". Name the bookmark whatever you'd like, and store it wherever you'd like (I placed it in the Quick Searches folder). To use it, just type "bugmenot " in the location bar and hit enter.
You can create other searches in the same manner. Here's a nice tutorial: http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/bookma rks/
"The only problem is few things are exactly worth $20, so the consumer is forced to either pay up their own money for something, or buy something for less than the value of the card."
Killswitch is right. Once, I had a gift certificate for Gamestop for $30, and could only find a game that cost $29.99. Paying the tax out of pocket, I was left with a leftover balance of $0.01. Suffice to say, I had to THEN spend another $30 in order to empty the card of it's value:(
Actually, she does have her own computer, login, and cookies/bookmarks/spyware. Unfortunately, our router died this weekend, so I'm sharing till we get a replacement. I really don't see how any of this is relevant to the discussion, however:)
There were other changes to Y! Mail today that weren't announced, including an updated interface and an increased message size limit (was 3MB, is now 10MB).
Yahoo also recently decided that any messages that get filtered to your Spam folder no longer count towards your maximum email limit - a change that had a HUGE impact on how often I have to check my email. I have a 6mb free yahoo account, for some reason, but would have to check my mail daily to prevent any legitimate mail from being blocked when my box filled. Since the change, I haven't seen my limit go up by 1%:)
With 100MB and this new rule, I definately wouldn't have to leave Yahoo! Mail for lack of space. However, there are plenty of reasons I'll be moving to gmail upon release anyways. Yahoo, if you're listening, here goes:
1) Large and Obnoxious flash ads. These should have died with the dotcom era.
2) When switching accounts, for instance when my mother checks her email, I have to first click the [Logout] link, then I have to click your "Return to Yahoo! Mail"-link in order to enter the new login info. Of course this page has many ads, all of which I ignore. I'm not changing logins so that I can save 25% on car insurance, or whatever you seem to think I'm interested. I've never intentionally clicked on a single one of your ads, btw.
3) I have to enter my password once a day? My computer is secure, so feel free to save my password for the next 30 years if you'd like. Or at least give me the option to do so, because that's what I would like.
4) The stability this morning was crap:) Not sure if that is from them updating or what, but it was annoying enough.
5) The new color scheme on the front page is, for lack of a better word, gay (it's light purple, ffs). The rest of the 'new' UI is... pretty, but I don't see any changes besides rounder triangles.
All of this aside, the one major improvement that would make me consider switching to any mail service is an improvement over my current spam detection rate. It's at about 95% blocked now. If any other webmail services can improve on that without more false-positives, I'm sure they'll make plenty of devoted fans.
Could you add filters that look for, say, more than 10% of the words mis-spelled, text font nearly equal to background color, or no actual text in message?
These improvements come with the added benefit of blocking every legitimate @aol.com email I have ever recieved. Somebody implement them immediately!

However, the AM transmitter is *constantly* outputting at the same rate, while cell phones are hardly used for even half.

And Ashcroft thinks he's both king and priest. I wonder how far up his own ass he'd have to stuff his head before he choked on his own entrails...
I think he's almost there. Keep pushing, Johnny!

The whole purpose of the Amazon system is ACCURACY, not making sure every book scores 5/5.
Are you sure about that? 5/5 scores sell a lot more books. This *is* Bevos we're talking about; the five-billion patent man.
