Have you no respect for those that died for your freedoms in the 2nd world war - or are you just brutally retarded?
I think, like many people, they have no ability to put theirselves in the place of others. They only understand what directly happens to then, everithing else is abstract. In other words, they just brutally retarded, yes.
Seriously, is anyone buying stuff from the "new" spam email with all of the gibberish characters in the subject and body?
Well, there probably are. I mean, if there are people stupid enough to stick their penis into a device advertised from unkown sources buying things from email with gibberish is nothing.
seriously, Spammers spend a great amount of time and money to make a living from SPAM. This only makes sens if there are people buying their stuff.
Because I was afraid of being accused of ethnic profiling
Then they came for my neighbors
And three thousand of them
Can no longer speak at all
They are using your fear and your anger. Your fear and your anger *are* justified, don't get me wrong. 9/11 *was* a terrible thing, and of course I think measures to prevent it should be implemented. But beware of people using your fear and anger for manipulating and controlling you and others.
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Microsoft's Windows digital media division David Fester has suggested that iTunes' emerging dominance would be bad for consumers
MS saying that domination is bad? What's next? Emacs and vi lovers uniting, BSD'ers and Linux'ers singing in harmony, qmail people installing postfix... now I'm a beliver!
Speak for yourself, I didn't clik on the link to their website. It is useless... Long ago I discovered why nobody in/. RTFA.... the site of the Article is slashdotted anyway:)
Yes, the world needs diversity. Just like the nature... I mean, if all computers runs the exact same OS we will find it very handy, but a plague that takes that OS down will take down ALL your machines, for example.
I see people complaining about MS monopoly and domination and yet the same people wants evebody to run {linux,BSD,whatever} just like they do.
I like the liberty to choose from many possibilities.

Too bad Debain can't say the same thing:)
Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm a Debain user myself, and I think the wayt they handled the thing was very brave and honest.

I wasn't refering to the cell phones thing:)
It is always a matter of trading security for liberty. There are radicals on both extremes, but on this subject is more vital than ever to find a point of equilibrium, or else we can end up with barbarism or totalitarism if we go extreme on one side or another..
Use the "which is more probable?" principle:
which is more probable? A anti-spam technology ruin itself by promising blocking spam and letting thousands of junk mail pass by becouse ti made a deal that will ruin it's bussiness
or
The goo'dam spammer is lying?
When the VCR came out, the cinematography industry cried out that they would be destroyed. When the TV came out, the redio stations said that this would be their end. When the computers began, people said that paper would stop being used. Nonsese. Istead of trying to defeat the tide, musical industry should embrace mp3 and find a new bussines model. And I think they will, eventually, but not until they squeez the last dollar from this model.
"The whole premise behind SETI is that there are intelligent beings 'out there' in the universe that are broadcasting their signals into space."
I disagree. I think the whole promise behind SETI is that it MAY BE intelligent beings out there in the universe. How we can find then? SETI may not find then if they are, but I think that actively searching, even with very little chance of actually finding then, is a lot better than doing nothing at all to try to find the answer to that very important question: Are we alone? And at the moment SETI@HOME is the best way that I can use to give (yes, veeery smal) contribution to try to find the answer.
