Is it just me or do many of the spams lead no-where? I actually tried going to a few of them in my junk mail folder, and half of them are broken links! They must just like to annoy people, because they are getting 0 sales off a broken link (as opposed to %0.0001 response).
Also, it seems to me we need a pay per email system fast. There are a few holes to patch though. Imagine, person presses send, and pays their ISP say 5c. Already there are several holes, every ISP in the world would have to comply to stop spam. So change it round, a person presses send, and the destination ISP says "wait, you need to pay" -unless 5c is given to the receiver's ISP the email is never sent. Any ISP who doesn't have the software to pay the other providers will obviously lose their whole customer base, thus forcing them to use pay per email. Another hole is that legitimate newsgroups would operate at huge costs and businesses with many employees would be paying hundreds per day. So, make a deposit system, person sends email-5c is payed to receiver's ISP, and when they read it a button is displayed to give their 5c back. If not the ISP gets to keep a whole lot of 5c's (hopefully lowering prices)
If this were possible, spammers would operate at a huge loss, because no one would send back their deposit.
Here in Australia I'm currently paying $90 AU (around US$50) a month for 3 GB of downloads, the only bonus is, if you play games or get files off the company's server its unmetered ie. doesn't count toward dl limit. And the files on the server are requested by users. Otherwise its a ripoff.
But they were both interested in the same things, and they were both better than most people at doing those things, which made them natural allies and collaborators.
To a good half of their fellow students, of course, they were just indistinguishable nerds.
They also require that you never use the shift key. Ever.

I would imagine gold is used because it can be moulded into such fine strands without breaking.

Ever heard of someone being punished for being attacked? I'm no Microsoft lover but they didn't make the viruses.
Its sad that you got modded DOWN for pointing that out. Shame on you slashdot!

"Game music benefited by interactivity"
This is exactly my thought. After playing FF games with music I loved it. People who haven't played it hate it all. I rest my case.
