Will people actually do that or will they be lazy and just delete it???? And what about someone like my mom.... she couldn't handle an extra feature like that. Try explaining that to her.
I'm sure this has been said but how about blacklisting SPAM providers. I know we do that now but how about a better system to do that. Maybe ISPs that allow their IPs to send spam get blocked. The whole IP block.
Why should we pay/white list it when we can black list it?
This would put a huge damper on collaberation with companies. If it cost me for all the eails I send for the projects I work on then I wouldn't send them. It would make my job harder and make the products I work on more costly and and take longer to due just due to the fact of it slowing down my work or i have to wait longer for things.
I would have to say the rest of the world would ignore us. So they put something into effect here.... foreigners would all go down to the local pub and have a beer while laughing at us.
With snail mail they have found that it can make money. Like with internet service. On average with their mailer adds they get enough people to buy the product that after about a year they start making a profit on the customer. Spam would cut down because they couldn't afford it but it would not go away.
What about me who runs a mail server (a legit one at that for a no-profit) on an old Pentium 166? It's a fine smtp server but don't ask it to do any heavy math. This would screw the little guy using old hardware too.
Has anyone done a test of the AMD64 running a 64 bit OS vs P4 running a 32 bit OS? Say Linux. To see the difference when they full power of the chip is taken advantage of. Especially with rendering. It may be a little like comparing Apples and Oranges but comparing these 2 chips can be that way. And to throw in a 32 bit OS on the AMD64 chip isn't really fair to it's power. It's not really using the full potential of the chip.
BeOS or BSD as a desktop. If your a/.er sure but an FBI agent. A mac gives you the power of the BSd kernel with the desktop and more importantly the support of a big name. A Mac just works for that.
And Remember if he had made the book exactly into a movie it would have been 100 hours and had long drawn out peroids that would be oh so boring. He did a great job of making that story into a great movie.
Maybe they are just drones... but who says the western way is better??? The easterners don't seem to mind their way. And aren't there a whole lot more of them.
Other things that companies don't consider is having groups not only over several countries but a group where part of it is in Detroit, Washington, Seattle and St. Louis has a hard time working together too. There are cultural differences and even a limited amout of time to telecon to discuss teh issues. This is not just a multicountry problem but one also internal to the US.
"...At the end of the videoconference, the Americans immediately disconnected the call. The French and Germans continued for another five minutes wishing a departing French teammate well in his retirement, and reminiscing about good times. The Europeans viewed the American behavior as rude and insensitive. The Americans viewed time as money, focusing on the cost of the videoconference. In other countries, entire meetings are devoted to establishing relationships, without conducting the core of the task at all."
Building relationships is a strong thing. Time is money but with a good repor you can get a lot more done easily. This is a time and money saver too. Just not as easily trackable of one. And not in the short term but over the long haul of a project. It especially great if the project is going to last severa years.
The response time to an interupt is the big thing though. You have to have the garunteed interupt response time. With a real time OS you get that after every iunstruction. With Linux 2.4 that wasn't really there which they remedied in 2.6 but it isn't true real time. For machines like this, planes, space shuttles and cars you will find a real time OS. Would you want your drive by wire response time to be 200 micro seconds or 4000 microseconds. In reality that makes a difference.
Something like this can't run GNU/Linux. There are real time implications. Linux may be fast but not as fast as a real time OS. Linux is in terms of milliseconds while a true real time OS is in terms of hundreds of microseconds. For this it does make a difference.
It's stories like this that make me want my really hot girlfriend to never be naked on webcam again. Me i could care less, who really wants to see me in the nude.

Well, to speak about paying... I am with the email I have with my ISP. A lot of email goes through services you have to pay for.
The free emails get their money on advertising so to be true it isn't totally free.
Nothing is ever really free
Bill probubaly slipped something into the water. Prolly the same thing they are drinking over at the Microsoft compound.

Oh no, it will cost me 2 cents to always put in my 2 cents.

So, how are they going to charge their customers that get free email for the postage??? Won't other free emailers pop up and take their place???
And if they only recieve postaged email, who would want to use them????
What's more annoying...spam you have to delete(or is somewhat filtered) or the mess of postage. I would say the mess of postage.

"A movie where quality will be second to the marketting of junk collectibles."
Yeah, but the collectables might be worth something in like 2000 years. I want to save them in the origional package.
"...try and get Linux on them..."
they already did... just look.
" A Microsoft product, coming out EARLY?"
No no no, its just more Microsoft porpaganda.

hey, I'm the most shocked of all. Me with a hot girlfriend. Blows my mind.
It's stories like this that make me want my really hot girlfriend to never be naked on webcam again. Me i could care less, who really wants to see me in the nude.
Porn is the foundation of the internet. I hope Google doesn't crack the foundation. Don't want the whole house of cards crumbling down.
Kama Sutra is more athletics than technical isn't it
