"If you drove the 35 miles from Steubenville, Ohio, to Moundsville, West Virginia, and wanted your watch to keep the local time, you would have to change it seven times on the route."
I've always wanted what was advertised in that Saturday Night Live spoof-commercial. To be able to hybernate through a nasty cold or flu would be awesome.
RUNAS [/profile] [/env] [/netonly]/user:<UserName> program
/profile if the user's profile needs to be loaded /env to use current environment instead of user's. /netonly use if the credentials specified are for remote access only. /user <UserName> should be in form USER@DOMAIN or DOMAIN\USER program command line for EXE. See below for examples
I tried Cloudmark once, but found their false positive rate to be atrocious. They were tagging legitimate marketing emails from companies like REI that I had actively signed up for as spam. Their network of lusers are too lazy to unsubscribe from legit emails and they just report them as spam. Argh!
(This was several years ago, so I don't know if things have improved since then.)
Ever since the birth, and obvious short life, of MakeLoveNotSpam, I've been thinking that a better way would be to visit the urls that were sent to you as spam. Not over and over in a DOS fashion, but just once. And not urls that have been sent to other people in some big database.
I don't think that would be illegal and if everyone did it, it would certainly raise the cost of spamming.
Go off the email address? Won't work becasue the vast majority of spam uses forged From addresses (I regularly get bounces for spams some asshat has sent with my domain in the from:)
No, no, no. You're missing what the original poster is intending to do.
Most spam has a website for you to go and visit in order to purchase something, or view pr0n, or whatever. You should follow whatever urls are sent to you in order to increase load on the client of the spammer. This has nothing to do with attacking the IP of the spammer, or the forged From address of the spammer that sent you the email.
My only problem with the original post was the part about hitting the url repeatedly. I think it would be a safe and legal thing to hit each and every url that gets emailed to you as spam just once. If everyone did something like that, it would put a significant load on the website that it would have a negative effect.
Sometimes it doesn't even do a GET or POST. Most of the packets that I've looked at connect to the webserver and issue a "command" that looks like this:

BTW, I didn't install the screensaver. Some virus must have installed it on my machine without me knowing it.:)
Segway has managed to invent something that will sell fewer units of than the Human Transporter. I didn't think that they could actually accomplish that goal, but it looks like they've been working hard at it.
Kryptonite's website tells lock owners to come back to their website on Wednesday afternoon (9/22/2004) for an anouncement about their "upgrade program". If it doesn't contain the phrase "completely free", I'm going to be a very unhappy, vocal, ex-customer.
I've got to give it to Rutan and crew. They really put on a great show. They didn't just go up and down and then store the rocket in a hangar where the public would never see it. They actually paraded it around in a proverbial victory lap with Melvill proudly standing on top with arms in the air.
I'm not sure where it came from, but when the rocket turned around and came back towards the hangars, Melvill held up a sign that said "SpaceShipOne; GovernmentZero". The crowd loved it and gave a big applause.
I've got to agree with you. I've got to believe that someone out there is going to put up another Mil for the first organization to go into orbit twice.
If I had the money, I'd donate it myself. But I'm saving up for my first ride for now.
I've got to agree with your "ass" comment. It's all about attitude. If he weren't such an ass, and if his followers didn't have that same attitude, I might consider it.
I'm getting about 50MPG in my Civic Hybrid. The trick is to not drive 75MPH in the fast lane with the SUVs, but to take your time and do 55 - 60MPH in the slow lane.
My city mileage is less than what is advertised, and I'm doing my very best with slow accelerations and maintaining constant speed where I can.
But overall, I'm pretty happy with getting my 50 MPG.
I avoid any company stupid enough to send my password back to me in clear text over email. I added Napster to by list of stupid companies this afternoon.

It will be much more impressive if someone flies around the world in the other direction.

Or more importantly, do NOT sell access to a website hosting a potential Slashdot article.

I think her other question was why they don't just add a jet engine to SpaceShipOne so that it could have a safe landing. Duh!

When am I going to be able to get rid of all my passwords and just use an retina scan? That's what I'm looking forward to.
Does anyone else find it strange that the claim forms ask for your PayPal password and credit card number?

1) Build machine to wash the solar panels while driving at 60MPH.
2) ???
3) Profit!

(this is assuming that Mars is flat - it isen't, it has huge valleys and mountains.)
And its spherical , too!!
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Or better yet, tie a cat to each of the blades of the turbines to scare away the birds.

I have two phone numbers on the list.
I guess that makes 49,999,998 Americans.
