the Irish Minister for the Environment has bowed to pressure and conceded that the system has not been proven safe
Unless the system ate somebody or gave someone herpes I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that it isn't safe. Perhaps he was looking for the word "reliable" ?
They don't seem to have any problem sending my kids donkey porn. What makes you think they wouldn't rape my kids? A suitable sentence would be chemical castration. That'd get them using that penis enlargement cream.
That's b/c they met some college girls on the 'net who were looking for someone to chat with and impressed them with their university diploma. They were last seen traveling the world and spending all the money a Nigerian diplomat gave them. Just follow the smell of penis enlargement cream.
Officials at the Federal Trade Commission, who planned to announce the arrests in Washington on Thursday, told U.S. postal investigators they had received more than 10,000 complaints about unwanted e-mails sent by the company.
So they only waited a half hour before signing a warrant?
You probably won't have to have a Windows machine come morning, just a good copy of xMule and an Internet connection. If it's this easy to update firmware from Linux, perhaps this will nudge Apple in the direction of releasing Linux images.
Sit there and complain about it, but the reason you're able to do things like read news for free online, perform fast google searches, and even use some software without paying for it is because companies pay for these services with advertisements. Remove the advertisements and you can kiss all of this goodbye. I'm not saying we should support the more obnoxious approaches to advertising, but our demand for "free software" and "free services" requires that the people running them find a way to make a living. Obviously I'm not a supporter of spam, I'm talking about something entirely different here. We live in a material world and I am a material girl...or boy.
rumor has it the museum used to be a large pr0n studio, so there are plenty of DNA real-world samples throughout the place. if it falls on the floor, don't eat it.
You would think the head of the MPAA would at least know enough about what he was talking about to know that there were no licensed players for some operating systems. I'm sure he knew at some point, but being 82 years old probably forgot Linux even existed. Paraphrase below
TT: No, you said four years ago that people under Linux should use one of these licensed players that would be available soon. They're still not available -- it's been four years.
JV: How many Linux users are there?
TT: About two million.
JV: Well, I can't believe there's not any -- there must be a reason for... Let me find out about that. You bring up an interesting question -- I don't know the answer to that... Well, you're telling me a lot of things I don't know.
Well to play devil's advocate for a moment, if a stranger walked into your place of business and began sexually harrassing you, the company wouldn't be immediately liable, but they would become liable if they failed to remove the stranger from the premises. In the same way, a company that failed to provide a reasonably secure environment for individuals to work in resulting in them being robbed or raped while on the premises *could* potentially be held liable. This seems to be the same premise that this law is built upon, where the business needs to exercise some attempt to provide a hostile-free environment for their employees. A couple spams managing to get through I doubt would allow the company to be held liable, but if the company failed to perform any type of filtering whatsoever they could appear as wreckless.
This doesn't appear to force a company to use any particular type of spam filter, so it won't force the copmany to spend any money if they don't want to - on top of the many free open source projects out there to filter, the company would also have the choice of implementing whitelists, challenge/response, or one of the many other approaches to filtering.
Obfuscating your email address doesn't prevent spam, although it also helps to stop the spread to some degree. Dictionary attacks are used to brute force spam into a company's email server, using the most commonly used names and phrases to guess the names of your inboxes. Unless you plan on also using very obfuscated addresses, throttling, and never posting your email address (even on the web), this plan won't work. Even if you did all of this, the next smartworm that infected somebody with your address in their addressbook would wind you up on a harvest bot somewhere.
If you don't want to but a few people, just set up a Challenge/Response system.
Porn spams are the easiest to filter out, because they contain so much guilty data in the HTML and message content. I don't think you'd want to get the porn spams though, they'd make your penis feel even smaller.
I guess the fact that we are all reading this on our computer makes us somewhat artificial, unless of course you have a really nice computer then it's superficial. I don't personally see myself as having any artificial augmen...just a sec gotta take this call...

What kind of sex are you having?

It's a soppository from soviet russia. It swallows you.
It's a heat seeking soppository. It'll find the right hole on its own.
It's military standard issue. It'll be inserted manually by the guy it's attached to.
Silent...dammit I meant silent. Please don't mod me. :(
That would appear to be what he did, either that or it's been slashdotted in the first 10 messages. I bet it's running really cool though.
So then I guess that means there will be a new documentary out soon called "Finding Nemoy"?
Officer, I swear those cones jumped right out in front of me!

...if the judge calls them SOBs and orders a pineapple shoved up their hind quarters in front of the jury.
I just hope they don't manage to plea bargain or we'll all start seeing spams to come visit the Federal Trade Commission.

It goes further back then that - you have to hold the power button on my flourescent lights in for about 5 seconds to get them to come on.

I thought Microsoft was secretly SCO's biggest investor, at least that's what everyone else still believes.
...of sweet spots with smaller hard disks.
... Sony electronics was sued today over its use of 8-track tapes.
