On the odd chance you actually want a reply, set up a hotmail account, use it once, then throw it away.
I just use address extensions (username+whatever@hostname). This not only allows me to track where they're getting my address from, but instantly block further messages to that address. E.g., I have cuervo+slashdot for Slashdot, cuervo+z0karma for AIM, and so forth.
There are some (stupid) sites that don't allow "+" in the address, thinking it's an invalid character, so I just wrote a Postfix map to remap "foo.bar" to "foo+bar" for incoming messages.
If someone sends directly to my email address without an extension who isn't in my whitelist, they get a higher SpamAssassin score.
You should not use your fireplace, because scientists now believe that,
contrary to popular opinion, fireplaces actually remove heat from houses.
Really, that's what scientists believe. In fact many scientists actually
use their fireplaces to cool their houses in the summer. If you visit a
scientist's house on a sultry August day, you'll find a cheerful fire
roaring on the hearth and the scientist sitting nearby, remarking on how
cool he is and drinking heavily.

They've actually specifically stated that they won't go after OSS browsers. They are still scum. IP scum should be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopaedia Galactica that had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the legal division of Eolas Technologies as 'a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.'
And if anyone has any ideas for securing the TELNET protocol better, I'm interested to hear them. (One option would be to have a custom client implementing a superset of the TELNET protocol...)
I submitted this same story (as AC, for obvious reasons) about Netcraft confirming that in Korea, only old people defend against a Polish beowulf cluster of rebelling Linux robots naked, petrified, covered in hot grits and flaming dog breasts, welcoming YOU to Soviet Russia with their remaining eye and missing CowboyNeal option while violating Jon Katz's sucky Windows machine in Japan, but the insensitive clods rejected it, so I'm making the frist prost here!
All your ??? are belong to us.
Profit!
...okay, okay, I was just looking for an excuse to say "flaming dog breasts".
Funny how people stumble on something from the past (blogging) and call it the future. Some people are so detached that they cannot even manage the present.
Yeah, he should get with the times. All the cool kids hang out on myspace.:P
The only problem with your FAQ entry is that it says "don't expect others to think the same." Yet the moderation system ensures that those opinions that disagree with the majority who have modpoints that day will be rejected. All it takes is one or two downmods, and you're below most people's threshold.
Doesn't the moderation FAQ also say something like "Browse at -1 to keep an eye out for abuses" or something?

It's been working pretty well.
I think it's either Javascript or images in the Adsense ads.

Nah, those Chinese newspapers are pretty quick through the digestive system.
I, for one, welcome our new whining half-wit overlords!
You fixed him. Awesome. :-)
Now there's a scary thought...
Or did you mean "standard utilities that usually come with the OS"?
Oh, man, I just had this flash of brilliance... imagine bitch-slapping the speaker of the house, Slashdot-style. I think I just pissed myself laughing.
Did he say he had a 2GB swap partition?
Why isn't he uid 0?
