I was going to look through this and moderate, but you've saved me the trouble! this is exactly the type of cooperative community-minded effort that we so need.
yeah. no mistakes anywhere. makes me wonder if it was canned. that is, the frist psoter is the submitter and/or coordinated something as an elaborate pro-Flash troll.
aw, don't be so hard on the poor sap. he is probably forced to use Notes at work, like I am. so, of course he'd react bitterly when someone implied that the POS isn't actually used.
I myself looked at this story specifically to see if Notes got mentioned in the article or the comments. it's really all so sad.
yes, since his property is disposed of according to legal protocol (including a possible will), the new owner of his accounts should have access to them. that might be problematic and take a long time, given the reticence I would expect from a company like myspace or google.
otoh, just pop a live CD into the laptop drive and take a look around the hard drive. *then* we'll see how geeky he is: did he encrypt the filesystem?
if he's like me, he'll have a file or directory with all the passwords of his bazillion accounts so that he doesn't have to commit them to memory and/or change everything en masse.

plus, this is a discussion about keyboards. would we have to translate all those furrin werds into a western alphabet (where they don't translate so well), or would we have one key for each word? (didn't Chinese and/or Japanese typists have this problem at one point?)
> How about making the advertised company the default responsible party for illegal spam
I think this is a good idea.
I mean, how often would someone spam in order to cause a law-abiding company trouble? sure, it would happen, but there would have to be a reason for doing it, because the company would do their best to find the origin of the message. that might only lead to a zombie, but then the owner of the zombie would now have a darn good reason to clean up their machine. the assumption that an email was sent by someone who really wants you to visit their website would quickly be discarded.
yes, people would spam to harrass or blackmail a company (it wouldn't be a fun thing to have to defend your good name to the FTC in the face of a large fine). but that would up the stakes for spammers: they wouldn't be spamming for sales; they'd be spamming for, uh, brick-and-mortar reasons (like blackmail or simple harrassment). I'm guessing that most spammers wouldn't like to do time for an offense like that.
and if this causes pressure on zombies to get cleaned up, then, golly, DDOS attacks would also drop. who'd send out the phishing email? there'd be a period of adjustment, but it'd soon be obvious that no one would spam using their own name.

oh, man. this was way better than mainstream erotica, but just as I was about to climax I read "could of" and could not maintain state.
in future editions, please use "could have". thanks so much.
he didn't say it was fast, or that it never crashed.
ugh... this annoys the SHIT out of me...
I'm with you on that. I like subversion, but surely someone has figured out that encrypting passwords should at least be an option.
smells like a troll to me. don't feed it.
there's already a firefox plugin for that.

after that, download VMWare Server, pop in an install disk, and then you can Remote Desktop to the hosted VMs.
Hey now, the fixed it meme is suppose to make it funny, not just fix his mistakes. :)
crap. sorry.
Hey now, I'm not stupid but $5 is $5.
There, I fixed that for you.
okay. I fixed that for you.
sir, I like your style.

of course knot. e can't even round correctly. should be 2.7183. damn truncator.

anyway, it'll be fun stuff when the supporting software crashes, leaving the driver out to dry.
ties up less money, too.
