But seriously, this goes a long way to prove the panspermia theory. Or atleast to disprove all the nay-sayers. If a pencil-tip-sized worm can survive that impact, then bacteria should be able to survive the impact of a comet.
It's actually quite tasty. Especially the jelly it comes packaged with. I know it's a petroleum conservative, but it tastes real good if you sprinkle your (home baked) pizza with it.
Ok, so they're caught in the crossfire. An innocent bystander if you wish, but by not buying into spam, I make a strong personal statement.
You can post your anti-spam sentiment to slashdot all you want, but it won't change anything in the real world. Only statements like mine will have a real effect.
The parents of the original Usenet spam, a lawfirm promoting a "green card lottery" (and I thougt those were a new invention), wrote in their book about online advertising:
"From that day forward, the Internet never stopped discussing us... After lengthy deliberation, it was decided to call the practice 'spamming' in honor of a well-known skit by Monty Python's Flying Circus, the famous British comedy group. We were unfamiliar with the skit, but apparently it involved throwing lunch meat at a wall."
Humourless lawyers.. they'll be the first against the wall when we take the us.
What do you think Hormel thinks about this mess? All publicity is good publicity? I don't think so. I haven't bought a can of Spam for the last three years. Guess why.
I'll tell you their lawyers are constantly tearing their hair out, for not slapping Monty Python with a cease and desist, all those years ago. Now do you understand people like American Greetings? If they don't defend their trademarks, they might end up as the next Spam. What would you do if your trademark for the last hundred years, suddenly were smeared into oblivion by greedy net users all over the world?
Yeah.. cut-throat capitalism is great until you're the fucking loser. Then you bitch and moan. Those fucking Indians. Stealing our jobs and our biyatches.
If this is indeed how americans view their legal system, then I think it's time for them (you) to do something to change it.
It's one thing that your only measure of quality of life is wealth, another one entirely that relative amount of money is the only thing separating right from wrong. While the judicial system is no absolute in right vs. wrong in theory, it is in practice.
Anyway, according to the Techdirt folks, they didn't consider a lawsuit when taking this down. Quote:
Please note: we did not remove this info due to the threat of the lawsuit, but simply because we think spam, of any nature is bad. Even if it's against those who practice it on others. I, also, am not sure what sort of lawsuit they could level against us. We did not do this to "play it safe" - because I don't believe there's a real threat. We did this (after some internal discussion on the matter) because we thought it would set a good example.
Fear not, your government is hard at work pumping money into the economy. Too bad for the rest of the world that your corporate welfare projects are disguised as wars.

The asstronauts weren't pencil tip sized.

Yeah.. just look at all the movie theater executives destroyed by the massive success of IMAX.
Star Wars, art?
You're in for a surprise.
While snickers and sars are totally unrelated products, spam and SPAM have quite a lot in common. Like the name, for example.

Frames were the all the craze, about five years ago. Nobody in their right mind uses them anymore. You use tables and css for nice sidebars etc.
it would have AVRIL LAVIGNE
Mmmm.. seventeen.
Sloth ads. Tazmx.And just how would you take it seriously?
Memepool?
What are browser-safe colours?
Yo Hollywood (Simon Carless)
Amiga still rules, or what? At least demoscene wise :)
If you're an idiot and break your processor while overclocking on it, why should AMD pay?
Why should us other AMD customers pay for that matter?
I'm astonished that there's any kind of warranty for broken/melted cores at all.My sig? Nobody ever comments my sig, how nice of you.
It's a german poem about love and angels.Yeah.. cut-throat capitalism is great until you're the fucking loser. Then you bitch and moan. Those fucking Indians. Stealing our jobs and our biyatches.
I'm sure you all agree.
Sig of the day:No, it's not french, so don't mod me down you jingoists.
Don't whine. At least you're free to litigate. Too bad if you're up against somebody with more cash than you though.

More like a sad fact of modern US life.
