  1. Re:Okay on Where Has All My Spam Gone? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Perhaps he'd like to leave it to systems he controls? I, for one, would rather a third party weren't silently dropping mail that could be false positives.

    It's the increased leverage that allows you to wiggle it more easily, rather than the pulling force. Someone should make pliers specifically designed to grip molex plugs.

    Yeah, I had a nasty feeling it was something like that.

    In the US, sure, but does anyone know how it works in Italy? That would be an important piece of info.

  5. Re:Abusable fix? on Who's Trading Your E-mail Addresses? · · Score: 1

    It's pre-existing, meaning we don't build it all anew on a yearly basis. So it's more like the total expendeture ever, less the cost of infrastructure replaced and/or destroyed divided by population. This may or may not result in a figure that makes more sense.

    Sorry, but I feel it should be pointed out, that McDonald served that lady's coffee scalding hot. 180-190 degrees, which is enough to give you 3rd degree burns in 7 seconds or less. She was hospitalized for 8 days, and required skin grafts. Had McDonalds served their coffee at the normal serving temperature of around 150 degrees, she would have been in some pain for a day or so, probably needed to go to the hospital to get checked on, but that's about it. Why did McDonalds serve their coffee so hot? So they wouldn't have to brew a new batch so often.

    So yes, it's her fault it spilled. Is it her fault she got 3rd degree burns from it? No.

    reboots the system into windows?

  9. Re:Civil liability? on Has Verizon Forfeited Common Carrier Status? · · Score: 3, Informative

    But it does. Common carrier status is what protects them from all manner of illegal content passed via their network, be it illicit pornography, movies, or music.

    But it's so much more satisfying to have a woman do it for you.

  15. Re:What is the right browsing? on Unlock Internet or Risk Losing Staff? · · Score: 1

    If you browse out to a site and it infects your computer, you have access rights that should have been denied to you by the administrator of the network. If you are browsing the web from an administrative account you should be canned.

    Did you, perhaps, miss my return volley of sarcasm? It was rather thin, which would have been to better effect had you noticed it.

    Hm, you're right. I'm not entirely sure on the meaning of college. Do you perhaps mean collage? I like pretty collages as they are easy for my feeble mind to comprehend.

    Now, I'll give you the benefit the doubt as to "COLLective EDGE," as I cannot possibly understand the inner workings of your noggin. However, it is my personal opinion that you are merely too lazy to pick up a Funk and Wagnalls. Honestly, without a basic understanding of the English language, how can you expect your ideas to be taken seriously? If you are going to deliberately misspell a word, perhaps you should indicate that in some manner.

    Perhaps they were getting $100,000 in salary and making $900,000 worth of bad decisions a year. That would certainly be a good reason to throw them overboard.

    Pack the sucker in foam, put it in a box and send it UPS insured for $1k or actual value, whichever is more. They'll handle it like a newborn kitten.
