I dunno, I recently bought an i580 and it's got a decent interface - not perfect, but not Worst. UI. Ever. by a long shot. (The most important trick is discovering that the menu key does way more than just bring up the main menu - it also brings up sub-menus all over the place - think right-click in Windows.) And it defaults to one line per primary contact (haven't tried a SIM card, I'm not certain mine came with one). And I managed to shove a homebrew MP3 ringtone down its throat, because hey, any idiot can buy a MP3 ringtone. (Again, it's not perfect, but it's plenty good enough.)
Yahoo Maps Beta is superior to Google Maps/Google Earth, at least at the moment.
I just tried YMB. It's annoyingly slow to initialize, somewhat annoyingly slow to load the image tiles, and more limited on satellite zoom-in. It may be slightly ahead on layout and a couple of odd features, but for me at least, speed is the killer.

We just called it "wall ball", and played it in high school (because we didn't feel like playing basketball). I don't think catching the ball before it hit the wall ever occurred to us, but we did realize that we could walk real close to the wall, throw the ball, and hope the wild rebound would hit someone (likely forcing them to run). We ended up adding a rule that you had to throw the ball from the same place you caught it, but you could still stand real close to the wall and try to catch a rebound from there.
Getting back to the original topic, the school could cover its ass in a non-retarded fashion simply by making the parents sign a "we are not liable for that stuff" waiver (or "our liability is limited to $1" which was used by one of my old online hangouts), with a box for "check here if you want us to keep your kid out of that stuff".
It leads to a piece of JavaScript - either an attempted proof of concept, or just an annoying fork bomb - I didn't bother to work out which, but either way, I recommend sticking with "Save As" or wget or what have you.
Which begs the question "where do you draw the line between users and developers?". For instance, at work I'm clearly a developer, at home I have a typical RH9 box with typical development tools but I mostly use it in an end-user role.
Did you mean that the FSF is concerned with end use and Linus is concerned with development?
(except for a couple of serious flaws, including Yahoo's advertising methods) the new Yahoo mail is superior to Google.
Yeah, and (except for a couple of serious flaws, including my kneecaps being broken) the new Bob's Diner is superior to Joe's Eats.:) I have poor enough vision as it is without being assaulted by a metric buttload of graphic ads.
No, no, the point is that spammers typically have someone else's valid addresses in the "From:" field, and then you end up spamming that someone else with the bounce message. Unintentional, sure, but you should still fix it (e.g. by checking SPF).
As I've pointed out on multiple occasions (the comment originally came from someone else but I don't remember who), the rubber band will break, the cat and bread will both land in their usual configurations, and the band will fly off to wherever it can do the most damage.
Work-related mail is retained forever as a CYA; I file them into per-client folders once the issue is closed, or I create a formal task entry for the issue, or they're superseded by a more recent mail. Gmail is retained forever because it's free; 99% of it is mailing lists (pure discussion) which are auto-filtered. ISP mail is deleted because it's not free (I only have a 40 GB home server); a fair chunk of it is mailing lists (where I may need to do stuff in response) which are auto-filtered.
My wife has this weird thing about creating category folders, and then sub-folders for the individual people she talks to, with an auto-filter for each sub-folder. Migrating that monstrosity from OE to Thunderbird was Not Fun (tm).
I was going to say "doesn't that cover, like, 99% of all spam?" but apparently the phrase is limited to intent to slander a specific person, rather than just forging From: with some address you found somewhere in hopes it'll bypass spam filters (which I do think is pretty damn common).
Auto-trained filters work well enough for my needs, but if I were going to add a meta-method, I would pick greylisting.
9 hits. Yeah, that's a bit small, all right. A web search turns up 37,400 which is more like it. (I express no opinion as to what extent, if any, Google has actually done what it is accused of.)
<kylev> BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Too bad it didn't disable the power switch. :)

As usual, Wikipedia is your friend. :) The island covers atomic masses in the high 200s, atomic numbers in the low 100s.
What's KMW?

Ow! That'll teach me to follow a link without looking at the full URL...

Oh, goody! I've been waiting for that for eleven years!
You might look into recruiting Spelling Stormtrooper as well. Last I saw, he was hanging around with Komma Klansman.

Just Google the title, it'll turn right up.

Depends how good your autopilot software is.

If they did, then they might well want to run some existing piece of free software that was only released under the GPL.
But that didn't stop it from happening, merely delayed it for 70 years.
