agreed. between gmail (personal) and thunderbird (work), almost no spam reaches my inbox. like you, i average less than one a week on gmail, and a similar amount on thunderbird.
i receive an ungodly amount of spam that goes directly to my junk folders (my work address is on many webpages, for instance), so i am very impressed with gmail and thunderbird.
a few years ago i needed to send emails to nigeria on a daily basis. you should have seen my spam count then!
I'm starting to think I should just set up a web page and post my photograph, fingerprints, blood type, DNA records, phone conversations, credit-card, passport, travel history, social-security numbers, and real-time GPS coordinates. It would save alot of hassle and expense.
... which is why you posted AC.

it's a great name. monosyllabic, pronouncable for everyone - how can they go wrong? also, that graphic will scale well, and could be shortened to just the w anyway. i'm sold.
It's funnier than that - the plaintiffs were saddled with the legal costs of the trial ($2M) - so not only does the publisher get completely free publicity - their own authors pay for it.
Yes, I realise that to call this exotisicm to to asume that an American of non-Asian decent wrote this blog; I hestitated before posting. But my point is simple - Aristotle is at the base of Western science, so why not attribute this idea to him, or at least, as I have done, give him a shout-out?
BTW, I have on three continents, so I do not use the term exoticism lightly.
I can't believe I am saying this on/., but my PhD work was on an aspect of Hegel's philosophy of religion. Hegel's concept of time was wack, however, since it only accounts for an objective progression. Clearly, that's only one way to understand time. Nevertheless, I grasp your point.
Actually, I believe that before a pronoun or proper noun, "all of" is better. For instance: all of us, all of France, all of Slashdotter's, etc. That's what my dictionary tells me, at any rate.
I'm pretty sure that's right, so the sentece should be "All of Slashdot's features" if the features belong to the site, or "All of a Slashdotter's features", if the features belong to the individual who uses the site
Nope. The software is called Slashdotter, and all of its (i.e., Slashdotter's) functions are optional.
BTW: I used it to respond to this post. It works brilliantly! Thanks, dude.
Almost everything at MBK is fake, just like most stuff in Panthip (still, a tech mecca!), excluding the chain stores like DataIT.
But, at TescoLotus and Carrefour, for example, the PS1s are genuine, IIRC.
my my my... poor grammar. "unlike mars, water does not exist"? what the hell kind of statement is that? does that mean mars exists, but water does not?
voip is a godsend to those of use who constantly need to make intercontinental phone calls on our own nickle. skype has saved me so much money - hell, i used it for a year's worth of hour-long conversations between thailand and canada... and now between belgium and canada.
actually, i thought it was brilliantly written until the the end, when he pulls out and flogs to death that inane/. joke (which is just one level above quoting monty python or office space).
You're missing the point. Petrarch et al. used the term as an insult (just like the term middle ages came to be used). Your re-appropriation of the term is, as I said, revisionist. You may call it dark because "we" don't know much about it, but the rest of us follow Petrarch in calling it dark because of its apparent lack of erudition.
I know how old Mommsen's text is, which is why I called it a classic.
Finally, of course I know the etymology of barbaros. But in case you doubt me, I can actually prove my knowledge: posted Sunday, Feb 19, 07:00AM, coincidently enough, about 12 hours before your post.
But, I can't imagine why you would ask, since it has nothing to do with our conversation. I might as well ask if you know the three formulations of the categorical imperative. And any way, the Greeks were right to call them barbaroi, because that's what they sounded like to Greek ears. How can you say that they were wrong?

i can't stand bush, but i hate self-loathing apologetic americans even more. own up to what your country has become, and stop wallowing in pity!!!

No, this Wired thread was brought to you by Mountain Dew and Easter Jellie Bellies.
I made my own marshmellows today - bloody fantastic. Covered them in chocolate too. You should try hacking your own candy.
um, you can bet this was designed for devious acts
I got mine - my last name. I've already put content up.

concurrentie is dutch for competition, and they often transliterate it as concurrence.

yeah - but i lived in thailand until this past october and saw the ps1 everywhere - it remains quite popular, and cheap.
