That really isn't an option either. Fake orders can be weeded out rather easily, as a valid credit-card is needed to place the order. Also the spammers generally act as a third party, away from the companies who are selling the products. They get paid when the company gets paid. They have little other involvement in the "service". You have to target the companies selling the goods. Make it impossible for them to sell their products in the country. The U.S. market would be the biggest blow to the companies, as this is where the majority of spam I receive is targetted. Even if the company is offshore, make it difficult or impossible for them to ship this stuff to the U.S. Make other, valid shipments difficult to ship to the U.S. as well, in an attempt to catch the ones you want. Be very public about this. Contact foreign trade ministers, put everything on the table. Once they start playing nice again, loosen things up. Target one or two countries to start, big time players. The higher you go on the trading ladder, the bigger the economic impact on the targetted countries, the more reason they have to comply with your junk products policies. This can only be done on a governmental level. It would be costly, and have little benefit on the economy, which is why it hasn't been done yet.
Your idea, although novel, is flawed. Even if you were to sell these products at a loss, you would still have to get your name and policy out there, and using the same medium as your competition. So to put the spammers out of business, you will have to spam to do it.
And spammers don't care about how the Internet works, or what will happen to the internet based upon their actions. They will abuse the medium until it's taken away, then abuse the new medium. It's that simple.
of a good twin. I believe that this is, in and of itself, impossible. Should I be proven wrong, I say we bury him right next to the rest of the family anyways.
IBM does not have the resources to make a test case of the GPL. IBM has the resources to make this a slam-dunk that will make the O.J. Magic Mystery Tour look like a circus sideshow.
Right or wrong, who cares. It's going to come down to who has the most cash.
The KDE League has been behind this, and every major assassination in the 20th century. They're responsible for the California recalls, although Arnold has put a stop to their fiendish plan to take over Governorship and rename the state to Kalifornia.
They will be targetting Kolorodo next, then the cities of Kleavland, Klearwater, and Koopersville. They've already got Kansas, Kulpsville, and Kure Beach. Cincinatti will be wiped off the map for its insolence of using a "soft c" sound, then Chicago for the dipthong fiasco.
They need to be stopped! At all costs!
So does that make it right

There are solid state external power supplies, (usually 55 watt) for sale, and many low-profile cases ship with these as well. You can even buy ones that will run off of a car cigarette lighter. It's only 5 and 12 volts to run everything you need.
Obviously looking out for the best interests of the people. As of April 1, 2001 there were 3,450,654 Oklahomaidians. So assuming each person has one phoneline, the people have voted by a whopping 1449% that they want the list.
(yes, I know that the math is off, national list and all)
Not to get into an allegory war with you, but wouldn't it be the rustlers just getting the sherriff and deputies, and leaving the rest of the townspeople alone, save the rustling of their cattle?
This is an excellent idea, as long as we can set up a proper trust mechanism, otherwise it's the bad apple syndrome. Also, you would need to have a heavy setup for the authoritative server, most likely by getting all the root-servers on-board. They could stand up to a DDoS, and have enough clout to keep people playing nice.
Although I am not well versed in the vulnerability of the office package, I know that the big reason to not patch was that it greatly reduced functionality in a non-exchange environment (forcing users to save attachments rather than invoking straight out of e-mail, inflexible with what it blocked and whatnot). I am unsure if this should have been fixed in Windows XP, but rather in office XP. I am not sure if the outlook shipped with Office XP is vulnerable or not, so I cannot verify or refute your claim. Would Windows XP with Outlook 2000 installed be vulnerable? I would expect so. Could they have fixed this in the underlying OS? Probably, but it would have hurt.
Although, OE is shipped with Windows XP, so that one is blatantly their fault.
Where do I pick up my prize? Do I have to say a speech?
And, as long as this has no bearing on the judges decision, I am most definitely not claiming equivalancy, but rather responding to the ever-present troll which claims that linux is a drop-in security solve-all.
Not allowing remote logins to a national database used to approve visas all over the U.S. which is located in one spot? Do you see the problem? Ultimate control hinders flexibility. If you want to fill out your application for a visa, send it by mail which will be handled by hundreds of people, to receive your visa which will be mailed to you, again handled by hundreds of people, rather than create a network which will allow someone to remotely access the information that they need in an environment more trusted than the U.S. mail system? This is not your mom-n-pop accounting database, this is used all over the world. Eliminating remote access is not really an option.

How about "make certain any endeavour which he would partake in fail miserably". That would scare the shit out of me, coming from a giant like Intel.

That was "A pup named Scooby Doo". And it was the kid he accused of stealing his bike, instead of finding the real culprits, the mole men.
Television raised me as a child. That's my excuse.
whoops, they're talking about removing the emulation layer. Mod me down, -1 dumbass.
They've been doing this for years.
Didn't see that one coming, did we?
While your at it, could you get the lottery numbers for Friday?
Yeah, bad joke.
I'll sell him a revolver and one bullet to put an end to the harassment. And I'll be nice, I'll go last. You guys let me know when it's my turn.
"I know that I'm selling something that you will be most interested in. It'll be the last purchase you'll ever have to make. It's that remarkable!"

It all depends on which side of the fence you're sitting on, now doesn't it?
And no, I am not condoning spam. This is a case of burning down the ultra-conservative church that shut down your adult video store.
