1) Install Linux and make it extra secure against attack. The usual win32 malware will not run on Linux so this would solve 1 major problem.
2) Run your own mail server (postfix?) with Spamassassin for Spam filtering. When you start getting a lot of Spam you can take your mail server down for 2 or 3 days so your address bounces and is removed from Spam lists.
3) Enjoy your new Spam/Malware/Virus free internet experience!:)
I already have to put up with "Daaarling, I'm on the train." while on the Eurostar.
Now it will be "Daaarling, I'm on the plane."
Not much difference, but just as annoying.
It'll be just like the 80's when mobile phones were new and people had to call and say "Hey, you'll never guess where I'm calling you from!";)
Look at the installation CD. If it has "Windoze XP" and a huge number handwritten in permanent marker, or has a logo that says "TDK" etc.. on it, it is a pirate version;)

> Yes, because as we all know, US militias during the American Revolution used such useful and noble tactics as kidnapping aid workers,
It has been established that this is done by outsiders eg. the mythical "Al-Zarqawi" group and not by the general poplace.
> storming hospitals,
Didn't the US storm one hospital and flatten the other in Fallujah recently? They have also bombed other hospitals throughout Iraq.
>and detonating bombs to kill their FELLOW citizens.
Again, this is outsider terrorists. Think about who actually benefits from it? The only legitimate militia are the Iraqis themselves attacking the invader soldiers.
Hooray.
The Military application of this technology will be used many years before it is used for civilian things like transport.
Now unsuspecting populations can be blown to pieces even faster with new scramjet equipped cruise missiles.
If we want to really stop spam, putting spammers in jail is not the way to go. We really need to educate the poor suckers out there who actually buy this crap to stop. For example, I have been inundated with spams selling "Microsh*t" (asterisk added for family viewing) software. Am I led to believe that people have actually bought software from this guy thus encouraging him to continue spamming? Get some News coverage on it and tell people there are undercover piracy agents out there and that they shouldn't buy in case they are caught. Likewise the good old v1@gra and c1alis or whatever. Does granny really understand that h@x0r speak and decide to buy dodgy fake drugs from an almost unreadable spam? I don't think so. For those things we need something like a 60 minutes expose that the oldies can watch and be shocked into not buying again.
Let get it into the news and out of our inboxes!
You dont need to register if you use bugmenot.com:)
There's even a very useful plugin for the Firefox browser that automatically fills in the username/password from the bugmenot database.
Has anyone noticed the photo for the Microsoft List Builder on the page? That woman must have the biggest set of gnashers ever! I find it kind of scary;)
Doesn't windoze have a cron type thingy for scheduling jobs?
When the Micro$soft salesman said "but your system will need to be rebooted every month because it crashes", didn't they smell a rat?
I'm just glad I will never fly to the US, and if for any reason I do, I'll make sure to avoid LAX in the future;)
www.freeipods.com is the same company that does freeflatscreens etc.

ie. sign up and you instantly "opt-in" to recieve many "special offers". I don't think an inbox full of spam is worth a free whatever. Maybe we should dob in the guy offering gmail accounts for helping the Spam gangs blossom;)
Yeah. That stuff is the fast way to having an inbox full of spam. These sign up for free stuff websites go through gratisnetwork.com who proudly announce on their website that "We utilize a number of proven online customer acquisition methods"
ie. you "opt in" to get Spam. suckers.
I mean, what the frell. It should be the dradest thing on TV for a long time according to the trailer, but you never know when kind of dren they might serve up.
They'd be completely fahrbot to disappoint the show's hardened and loyal fans.:)
Beauregard Parish Public Library are using their own version of Redhat Enterprise Linux with great success.
You may like to contact them about their solution.

They are wasting their own time and money. Why do they bother coming up with these hairbrained anti-piracy schemes when within the space of 3 days, some spotty teen who lives in a basement is able to break it and spread the hack far and wide?
They are better off making good content than trying to protect the usual pap they are trying to sell.
I remember my first RAM expansion for my Amiga. A$120 for 8Mb! The reason I remember so vividly is that the next week, RAM prices took a dive and the same expansion cost A$80;)
I used to have an Amiga 1200 and 14inch monitor mounted in a large roadcase for the same purpose. Despite not being actually screwed in to the case, they both survived many air trips although I did actually stuff a duvet in there for extra protection;) The Amiga still works today:)
Actually, the Radio stations already pay a royalty to the artists when they play songs. The easy way around it for them is just to stick on the radio. Speaking of on-hold music, I did once get a cheque for A$200 for on hold royalties and it came at a time when I was so broke, I couldn't even afford to feed my cat let alone myself. It got me and my cat through the week. For struggling, up and coming musicians, the airplay royalty is a good thing.
Can't this be done more easily and cheaply with dumb X terminals? My wife's old PII 366 laptop happily serves up recipies in the kitchen by loggin in to my main machine via remote XDMCP login.
I'm sure an even older machine with just enough hdd space and memory to run X would also suffice.
Still, these guys are doing something interesting, even if it is the hard/expensive way;)
After a little fiddling about with the settings, I have both my soundcards (SBlaster Live! 5.1, Midiman Delta 44) working just fine in Linux Mandrake 10.
In windows you have to install a driver. Linux setup installs the driver for you. It's just that sometimes, the volumes may be turned all the way down as default. All you need to do is turn them up and voila! Sound in Linux. It relatively simple isn't it?
pfft.

The easy solution is not to use windows to view the films. Their nasty malware is not compatible with Linux or OSX etc... :)
I was wondering when the mining Laser on my Cobra MkIII would get a workout ;)
Apparently only the US and Canada exist at the moment. I wonder if they will expand to the rest of the world?

The real question is, can you send the license back to Micro$oft for a refund? ;) :)
Then you could find a way to put whatever OS you liked on it.

Does the RIAA then actually pay a double royalty to the artist, or does it just pocket the difference?
