Why not? They're sending you unrequested data, so, just send them unrequested data.:)
You're being as wrong as they, but at least, they asked for. If servers that allow spam gets falling, less and less servers will be so misconfigured to allow it
I've never found anything *new* to what he says --let alone some good psychologist-- but he surely had a lot of time/money to spend on new toys, and i envy him for that one. I never played creatures, but for the reviews it should be a realy enjoyable game, while on the design papers it seems to be not so special that people should deitify(sic) him.
i personaly think that civ/sim city or even more ancient games like Shadow President have more complexes AI. And still, you don't see people hiring Sid Meier to design anything other than an ejoyable game.
actualy, there had been some violations.
I can't recall the name now, but a company that make embeded linux solutions had a custom kernel for their own products, and the source release was always a version late than the "professional version" (binary, paid). The linux crowd just keep flooding them with mail, and without any legal warnings from the linux kernel people they now release the source along with the binary, as the gpl states.
i'm only 22 and thru all my childhood lego didn't needed any batteries! It was only the good ol' plastic blocks...and maybe some plastic people and some weird pieces that couldn't be called a "block"> But still, no need for bateries
here in Sao Paulo, brazil, Telefonica (almost as loved here as AT&T when it was a huge monopoly) ported every user to the new version (new contract) of their adsl product.
Now they will start charging R$0,10 (about U$0.0333..) for every single Mb that exceeds 1.000Mb (not even 1Gb) per month.
I did the math, and using the same as i use today, i would be spending R$5.000,00 (US$1,694.00) per month
As you can guess. I hold the old version of the contract and they will take it only from my cold, dead fingers.
much near than this 1984 parody, USA is becaming just what it turned you americans against in the last decades.
Soon you all will be safe of terrorist and having free bread (as in free beer) and free kentucky whiskey without having to worry about anything, not even what will be in the press, since FOX news, as the only official source of news (or the only that wasn't closed down due to being compacted to terrorist) will aways praise the government.
But besides all that crap... what really amazes me is that half of you always knew that bush's a real dumb (while the other half hates he now because they were sent to iraq) but you americans don't act! ever!
...all you do is to complain about some patriotic act, then forget it in the next months. Then complain about some DMCA, just to forget about it later. Now, you just realize that you forgot to complain about some patriotic act II that you didn't even heard about when it was released, but guess what will happen in the next months, until some other act will came out. Right! you will forget and wait, as always.
I'm glad i live in brazil. Here, at least, the bad politicians lies to get to power, not steal votes in the election day. And if we realize he was lying (what makes him a real bad politician) we act. I'm also glad we just have to do it once.
You can use Mozilla or Thunderbird and set the display of the messages' body to "simple html" wich will still shows the html diagramation of the message (tables, lists, bullets, titles) but will ignore the futile stuff (images, colors, bizarre fonts).
/.ers will probably get that it's a joke since 99% of them browse with +5 Funny, +5 Flame Bait and +5 troll... so they don't expect to see anything serious here.
Apple products isn't the best in the world, but their marketing sure is.
People buy their stuff because their trully belive it's the best.
Everywhere you see graphic designers using macs, even tough they could've been applying photoshop filters twice as fast using a peecee that's actualy cheaper than the mac he's using. But they rater die to work without a mac.
And it's the same with the rest of apple products. If they give you discounts on ipods, you will stop to think... and eventualy, by thinking, you will step out of the apple paralel universe and begin to question if it's really that good mp3 player. At that point, you will probably recall that you read about the unrepleaceable batery lasting only some months, and probably will buy yourself a better, and cheaper mp3 player. So, they rater to let you thinking only about how to get the money to buy their perfect stuff. perfect stuff. perfect stuff. buy. perfect stuff. buy. it's on every movie. perfect stuff. they have cool ads. perfect stuff.
I agree on all that... but what if you program already has to work with text data for 99.999% of the time?
imagine some content management system (like slashdot, blog tools, and such). the only place where you gona store numbers are in dates and user id's. all the rest would be text, text and some more text.
Well, you still have the performance problem if compared against a proprietary parser written specificaly for your data... but i think that the benefits outcome this easily since you don't have to rewrite the parser (maybe you can tweak it latter, while the data volume is increasing and performance WILL became a problem) and you can easily port your data (assuming other systems also tought xml was useful hehe)
Repeating what's already said before on this tread zillion of times, it's all a matter of the right tool for the job.
Well, this year we had WGC, a gaming championship that had a final in korea (obviously), where people actually went to watch the games.
Also, some games now have the ability to show replays. The more famous one being War Craft III. There's zillions of sites dedicated to hosting replays that have a high rate of download.
So i think that with a little marketing and a good show around it (maybe some narration:) it could be a social habit to watch people shooting each other...c'mon, who tought golf would be mainstream spectator sport???
But if Microsoft are going to take this approach, then what about extending it to spammers? Microsoft must spend a hell of a lot more the that $250,000 on hardware, bandwidth and stafff to deal with all the spam going to hotmail accounts, so it could actually save them money.
Or does Microsoft actually make money from spam? I seem to call they were not exactly a staunch supporter of anti-spam legislation recently.
Maybe they'r caming up with a "hotmail plus 2004" that will be able to deal with spam, but they already implemented the virus IDE that exist in outlook to get to that end...
I've got this one in Portuguese and in the first lines i also tought it was just mistyped.
But do you re__ly t___k that the mind even came to process the words in the mdildee or that the mind just imagine a word using the meaning of what you've just read?
Google accepted that to spare a few pennies with laywers. They thought "'kaza lite'? only 0.00001% of the queries... screw them"
but if you all that felt that this is wrong change your bookmarks to, brazillian google that let's you find kaza lite, then they will see that they must spend those pennies to keep the community "buying" their products.
that's the essence of capitalism. If you don't like one's product, or if you have anything agains that business, just don't buy from them. That will make they change their policies or make better products (or die, leaving room for another one with better policies and/or better products to fill the gap)
ok that "buying" from google brazil isn't the best way to make them care.. maybe force yourself to use altavista instead for one or two week:)
There may be a display option that shows the line breaks, like GTK does.
I'm still downloading to find out exactly why that's useful (since i'm a mozilla junkie I don't need to find interesting things on the releases note to get the new version)
"releases notes...lemme me see... ahn... no, no crash upon start up. Fine, let's install!"
I just added a msn account to trillian yesterday, after years of icq only, because all my co-workers were disapearing from icq and talking "i'm using msn now" "why the hell are you doing that?!?!" "cuz the big shot director only have msn in his home computer"
And they move for good to msn, not add it to his multi-protocol client like the/.ers
