When you come across something that you would rather do than eat, sleep, shower, fu...wait, skip that one, then go for it. It's been said many times, "find a job you like and you won't work another day" is pretty much true. You've got to find the one thing (Ok, so I sound like Curly from City Slickers, but he was right) that excites you more than anything else.
" I see no information what their product is or their business plan". I thought that was the hallmarks of a dotcom, no product, no business plan, but a hell of a whopping game room for their soon to be gone employees.

According to Georgetown University
that I found regarding retention of records in Maryland:
"8. Has any public records legislation/administrative regulation been proposed calling for "permanent public access" to electronic public records?
_x__ Yes
___ No
a. If "Yes," cite to and briefly discuss the legislation/proposed regulation; what was the outcome?
Arguably, Maryland has such a provision in MD. REGS. CODE tit 14.18.04. Certain electronic records may be considered "permanent electronic records" in they have "sufficient historical, administrative, legal, fiscal, or other archival value to warrant preservation by the Archives beyond the time that the record is needed by the agency that created it." MD. REGS. CODE tit 14.18.04.03(B)(15). Nevertheless, many electronic records will not rise to the level of importance that will ensure permanence."
The hard part is determining what is important to save and what is not. In general, 7 years is the standard retention time. In our litigious world, keeping anything to prove your case until the statute of limitations runs out is a wise move. Losing emails you don't want your g/f to see is technically called an "oops, I accidently hit delete"
BT provides Internet access to their customers. The customer types in the URL of a porn site, which is passed through BT till it finds the site, at which time the sending server packets it all up and sends it back, through BT to the user.
BT in effect is rebroadcasting the offending material, and it is their right and responsibility to ensure they are not transmitting or resending child porn. I see this as BT not so much blocking a site, but preventing illegal materials to be transmitted through their facilities.
They didn't have them when I was dating in high school.

At some point, the spam wants money, mainly by a credit card. Why not set up a credit card account only to be used to purchase whatever product the spam is touting, and follow the trail to the account collecting the funds.
Its done for drug busts, so I know the Feds have cash, at least, they have a lot of mine. Put it to use!
What is funny is your sig. Just last week I was at my favorite C/Store getting something, and the clerk was speaking Hindu. I told him the same thing; this is America, speak Spanish.
It is not surprising to me that we know practically nothing regarding the universe. That would of been better use of the word is what I'm saying. Perhaps a better word for the story would of been "unanticipated"
Here is a link with tons of Latin Phrases
and the English translation. Latin is the root of many western languages. Latin was required in the European Universities, such as Heidelberg, which was commissioned as a University by Pope Urban VI in 1385 (note the obvious Latin connection).
I'm glad to see that the Feds are pursuing predators online by using methods that will stand up in court, rather than the questionable tactics used by the vigilantes of Perverted Justice
How about after every paragraph of a EULA/Terms of Service, there is a check box indicating the paragraph had been read, Yes or No, with no default, and if any box is left unchecked the software would not load. At the least, a user would have to go down thru the EULA/Terms of Service and check each box.
Why a new wave? Because advertisers do not target.

New Wave of Web Ads?

It's pretty apparent to me that their "new wave" is simply to push products/services that most people do not want in the first place. For the most part, I think it's a con job between the ad serving companies and advertisers. The ad servers would better serve the public and their advertisers if they took the time to place their ads on relevant sites, rather than conning advertisers into believing that they will see a great return on their ad investment by blasting their ads all over the web.
The cardinal rule of advertising is "target your market". And, after seeing most of the ads that pop up on other sites, I don't see much of a market for the products, and certainly not keyed to the web site/page being viewed.
In addition to our own advertiser base, we took on the Google ads, and have had an acceptable success rate so far. The ads generally target the individual topic pages and that was my prime concern regarding taking on any outside controlled ad server. Our philosophy is to serve targeted ads, or none at all, depending on the particular topic subject. We have yet to embark on any advertising program of our own, and when we do Google AdWords would be our first choice.
I also like the fact that we can customize the Google ads to our color scheme, blending into the feel of the page.
We see both a lot of hits to our Live Help Software page, and frequent requests to add software to our list of live help software providers. Most live help software is configured by the user to be passive, waiting for a person to request a chat session, rather than actively pushing a session. We preview all software prior to adding it to our list, and personally, I prefer to be the one to initiate a session, rather than having the site push a session.
Some moron email bombed my server last night with over 16000 emails for camcontacts.net
I contacted Ameritech, and they contacted their customer, and found out that it was a "malicious" program that they had downloaded that was spitting out the spam. The interesting thing was that the program had one email address in it, mine.
Apparently I must of ruffled some feathers with the perverted justice people when I did an expose` of their site, Vigilante Web Site Perverted-Justice.com harming legitimate law enforcement efforts to stop online predators.
I can deal with normal spam, but that was above and beyond what I normally get every day. I'm all in favor of tracking down the spammers and going through the court system, after all, all they understand is money.

Its been set up like this for a few weeks, and no problem sending emails, they get to where they are supposed to go.
I'm on BellSouth at home, and had that problem sending email thru our domain. I set Exim to run a copy on Port 26, problem solved.

My High School was Kaiserslautern, down the road from Heidelberg. Our Senior Prom was at Heidelberg Castle. We had Latin offered but not required.
