Kind of like mail-in rebates. It's that way for a reason. I suspect MS has a similar strategy.
I agree though that if it's easy, then it would be worth the time. However, if it was easy, I'd suspect that I'd find a few easy howto's on the first page of returns from a Google query.
I live in a world where I know that if I'm in the puiblic eye and I want privacy, I'd better have an unlisted phone number.
She lives in the public eye and she's listed in the phone book. While it might be nice to envision a world where that won't get you phone calls at weird hours, this one isn't it. And you don't need to be controversial even. She may have legitimate complaints, but name-calling & having to change her phone to unlisted number do not dealing with extremists make.
Have you eve talked to the guys that created MAPS, Vixie & Rand? Those guys got death threats made against them and their families. That, I would call extreme.
she's pissed off because they call her DiDiot and her last name is DiDio? A 3rd grade schoolyard taunt gets to her? She complaing because she gets phone calls at 11pm. She lives in the public eye (whether she likes it or not, that's where she is) and her phone number is listed?
Tell me about death threats or stalkers and I'd say you've got extremists. Tell me about name-callers and heavy-breathers and I'd say you've got the nuisance equivalent of script kiddies.
Personally, I'd prefer if software vendors simply provided anti-spam filters (perhaps captcha based) and bundled them in a way that people could understand and use.
And what, the software vendors have been holding it back much the way conspiracy theorists like to say oil companies do with the formula that converts water to gasoline?
There are easy technical solutions. Personally, I simply bounce all HTML email to the sender and ask them to re-send as text, and my account that used to have hundreds of spams a day is now quite plesant to read - maybe one text spam gets through every few days.
I'm sorry, but your analysis grossly oversimplifies the issue. I'll let others pick it aprat in detail.
I call it a good start. I'd maybe add some language keeping him away from anyhting to do with networked computers for a while as well. 100 or so years should be enough for him to learn his lesson.
Karma whoring? I don't think so. Why don't you read my posting history for yourself before deciding?
How much am I making off the ads? Well, although it is none of your business, to date, we've earned enough to pay for about 3 hours of the server's monthly fee.
The feedback we've been receiving has been overwhelmingly positive, but thank you for yours as well.
Then there's that bit about Oxyrides making MP3 players and CD players produce richer, fuller sound. Panasonic cited a test in Japan in which 80 percent of the players in an orchestra said they preferred the sound from an Oxyride-powered music player. (Panasonic doesn't include sound-quality claims in its official marketing, but it does say it's investigating.)
This one's a tougher call. In blind tests, most people couldn't tell any difference between a CD player with Oxyrides and one with regular alkalines. A few identified the Oxyrides as maybe being a bit richer-sounding, but said that the difference was awfully subtle. All participants confessed, though, that they were not members of a Japanese orchestra.
Yeah, I know that battery makers have been struggling to solve the problems of ripple. Puh-leez. What's the next claim? Women who use Oxyrides in their vibrators experience 15% increased intensity in their orgasms?
Hey Panasonic! QUick, better shorten that name to O-Rides.

It's a linux RTOS, yes?

She wrote a report for public consumption and her name was on it. I'll grant you she's not John Grisham.
Googling on "laura didio" returned 25,800 results when I query it. OK, it'd not Linus Torvalds (2.2 million).
I'd say she's in the public eye, you differ. I suspect it's more a question of where one draws the line.

Why you'd pay it to the FSF, of course. They'd administer the money, funding projects as they see fit. Kind of a Politburo for the Software Community.
BTW, when does Stallman's Macarthur Foundation Grant expire?
For the humor impaired: It's a joke son.

Do you value your time so little that it's worth going through the hassle?
I guess if you're extremely principled, I can see doing it.
I thought it would be SpongeBob or maybe Fairly Odd Parents (Wanda's hot).

OK, perhaps I should clarify. I meant orgasms with a partner, and I don't mean Rosie Palmer.

Oh, and sex is defintely #1 in the top 10. Which would you rather have, eyesight or an orgasm?

I agree, this is an excellent article and really clarified a lot of things for this CRT user.

Better yet, visit the Vibrator Museum in San Francisco and see the steam-powered one. Don't know if it's on the web site.

It's a bug. Sorry. Missing pages 9 & 10. It picks back up at 11.
OK. Looks like it's a bug. Thanks for pointing it out and apologies.
