  3. Re:my reduction algorithm: on CAN-SPAM Is A Bust · · Score: 1

    your comment's a little short-sighted. i only say this because my personal email is all from this country. if you decided to limit the mail from certain geographic regions (brazil, russia, china, and taiwan), you could limit spam too.

    and hey, we can't all be americans.

  4. my reduction algorithm: on CAN-SPAM Is A Bust · · Score: 1

    reject _all_ mail with foreign (out-of-country-connotation) origins. this could take care of seventy per-cent of my spam (you listening, yahoo? gmail?). this also would help to identify and prosecute local spammers.

    I think you might appreciate this... Blackfire is a band who did a pretty good version of "Mean Things Happening in This World," written by Woody Guthrie. You can hear an MP3 of it on their website. www.blackfire.net

    once i tried to record a voicemail message using a tape recorder held to the earpiece of my cell phone.

    (yeah stupid, but what you gonna do?)

    "yeah CLICK we're gonna CLICK go to jack in the CLICKox and we're going to CLICK pick up some more beer... you'd better CLICK not be in lab CLICK or i'm gonna kick your CLICK..."(end message)

    detecting that RF bullCLICK should be easy.

    they can't swerve their vehicle if their boxen are infected with virii thus allowing the detection unit to transmit spam, even through the reverse firewall.

    Uh, you think that US borders are easier to penetrate that those of the eastern-most EU member states? God, that's hilarious!
    no that wasn't my point: my point was more of zenophobia. but i guess that too is hilarious.

    think you also forget that the US is the only country in the western world where providing a decent level of healthcare for everyone is treated with contempt. Last time I checked, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, etc were all in the "real world".

    one of the unintended side effects of living in a welfare state is the overzealous (extremely jealous) guarding of their borders. yeah, we guard our borders, but one reason we don't have universal healthcare is because we can't do that as well as island nations and other nations surrounded by welfare states.

    i'm all for immigration, but i too wonder about universal health care.

    they cannot coexist.

  18. Re:Trusted email? i'm trusting yahoo less and less on Yahoo! Develops Anti-Spam Architecture · · Score: 1

    i've notice this as well. it seems i'm getting more spam in my inbox as well. i believe that yahoo is capable of catching what is now seeping through, but they allow it (say if a random .30 then allow spam through) to try to make their advanced spam filtering from a paid account more desireable.

    yahoo just wants us to buy mail accounts.

  21. Re:polically correct navajo on Whistle While You Work · · Score: 3, Insightful

    how is this for insightful:

    this has nothing to do with political correctness. i has to do with having to come up with new nouns given a set vocabulary. not having seen white people or other people of african descent, the most logical way of describing them was of course, with descriptive words.

    the english translations of the words don't quite do the descriptions justice either. for instance, zhini or ZHIN-NI as the navy spells it does describe the color black, but calling them "blackies" is subjective from an english translator's perspective.

  22. Re:code talker dictionary dot mil on Whistle While You Work · · Score: 1

    from the same navy dot mil address:

    Most letters had more than one Navajo word representing them. Not all words had to be spelled out letter by letter. The developers of the original code assigned Navajo words to represent about 450 frequently used military terms that did not exist in the Navajo language. Several examples: "besh- lo" (iron fish) meant "submarine," "dah-he- tih-hi" (hummingbird) meant "fighter plane" and "debeh-li-zine" (black street) meant "squad."


    debeh-li-zine is "black sheep", not "black street". and it's phonetically dibEH-thli-zhiNEH
