You concoct an example that is theoretical and doesn't really exist. And, contrary to your assertion, SPEWS has a way to delist ISPs. If the spam stops, ISPs are gradually delisted. It of course also helps if the ISP publicly (in the appropriate newsgroups) explains what they have done to get rid of spammers.
So, all these excuses are just that. If you were serious about getting rid of spam, you would applaud the use of SPEWS and other blocklists. They are the only way to get ISPs to drop spammers. Period.
What part of "Change your ISP" don't you understand? Your ISP supports spammers. They are blocked. Get out of that bad neighborhood. It's not that hard to understand...
You apparently haven't even read the SPEWS FAQ. You weren't listed, your ISP was listed because they support spammers. Since you give your ISP money, you indirectly support spammers as well.
If you really cared, go to a different ISP. Too many people like you are just complacent.
As for Turing, mea culpa for including him in the list, although he was primarily concerned with computing theory rather than the specific architectural designs required to perform such computation
You will notice that I explicitly said that Turing laid the theoretical foundations. He published "On Computable Numbers" in 1936, way before he did any military work. And von Neumann certainly knew about Turing's work (he got a draft of the manuscript) and was influenced by it, so Turing had a big influence.
In fact, as Andrew Hodges writes in his Turing biography, von Neumann wrote letters to Alonzo Church and F.P. White, the secretary of the London Mathematical Society which published Turing's paper, arguing for publication of the paper (p112f.)
As far as Zuse is concerned, people like Eckert and Mauchly were well aware of Zuse and his work. In his autobiography, Zuse reprints a letter from Mauchly to that effect. Zuse's language Plankalkuel is well known in the programming language community. Saying that his work is irrelevant rather shows your own ignorance than anything else.
To alter the program sequence, the machine had to be modified.
Hmm, no.
See, e.g., the discussion of Zuse's architecture vs. v. Neumann's.
And the Turing machine, as described in Turing's famous 1936 paper "On Computable numbers", of course, needs just an infinite tape to "calculate any recursive function, decide any recursive language, and accept any recursively enumerable language. According to the Church-Turing thesis, the problems solvable by a universal Turing machine are exactly those problems solvable by an algorithm or an effective method of computation, for any reasonable definition of those terms." (From wikipedia)
Aiken's Harvard architecture differs from the v. Neumann architecture mainly by having code storage separate from data storage (which, btw, is what modern processors implement in the L1 cache...)
the man with one of the strongest claims to the title of Father of Modren Computing There are two people with stronger claims: Alan Turing, who laid the theoretical foundations, and Konrad Zuse, who built the first digital computer.
It is called a shell extension, the shell being Explorer. The same kind of thing allows you to look into.zip files in Explorer. But these are all limited to Explorer and don't work from the command line.

After some back and forth, he acknowledged that it is not required and let me go through the metal detector without taking off my shoes.
Using fdisk or formatting doesn't overwrite existing data on the disk. You actually have to wipe the sectors (PGP does that, or use Linux' dd command).
Same here, but the memories aren't that good. I had a lot of problems trying to compile gcc on the old SCO 386 Unix system. But then I discovered Linux (version 0.12), and it already had gcc ready to go. I switched to Linux and never looked back.

I've had PRK about 10 years ago (in Europe, directly from the inventor of PRK). This was from 8 diopter myopia to 20/20. I am still absolutely happy with the results. Before the surgery, I had problems with glare at night. That's all gone. The surgery itself was just a couple of second for each eye. And yes, no knife (I never would have a knife touch my eyes). It is all done by laser. The Excimer laser is very low powered, so that it does not damage the nerves.
First off, this is *not* a crackdown. This is good policy, plain and simple. What they had before was stupid: blocking certain ports. I am glad they changed that. Second, if you are living in UCI resident housing, you can probably get a cable modem. Go and use that to download pirated music, and keep the UCI bandwidth for the people who do useful stuff with it. Third, start to think. That's what college is about. Somebody has to pay for all the bandwidth. Part of that comes out of your tuition.
BS. Did you ever read the click-through agreements? You can't take any vendor to court, since they take no responsibility for the flaws in their code. And you agreed to that by installing it.
No, at least here in Southern CA you do not have to slow down. I drive through the toll lanes with the full allowed speed without problems.

Not quite. At least on NT4, it is possible to enumerate desktops, and to send messages to programs in other desktops. I have done that myself in a screensaver I wrote.
Cyc didn't work in the 80ies, and it doesn't work now. This is a leftover of the AI belief in the 80ies that you just need to teach a machine common sense knowledge and it would become "human". It just doesn't work that way, and nowadays, AI has largely stepped away from that notion.
