The only way for spam to finally be filtered and gone would be for the government to make it a felony to send spam
Excuse me? What country do you live in? In America, a lot of things are felonies and they still occur. Fraud, Insider trading, Tax Evasion, Extortion, etc.
To make spam stop is much easier than you think. Educate the moron sheep out there that their penis is big enough, their breasts are large enough, they don't need generic v14gr4, and that some Nigerian prince will not send them a Gazillion dollars, and mostly we should educate people that they if they continue to respond to that crap then we'll continue to receive it.
That said, I think that any spammer who sends a child pr0n should go to jail for sexual assault. Showing a small girl a picture of a penis is the same as showing her a real life one IMO.
But seriously, remove the market, and the problem goes away itself.
Thanks so much for that - like I said it's neat, but hard to wrap your head around... You've bade it a bit easier.
I've been writing in VB for a long time, so the dot notation, and the lack of semicolons have made it a good candidate for the transition. That was the only thing that was driving me nuts...
Hope you get modded up - that was probably one of the most informative Ruby posts I've seen.
Kind of off topic, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of passing code blocks to functions... It's really a strange way of doing somethings IMO...
Not that it's bad, it's just an interesting programming paradigm, and one that would take some getting used to.

Interesting info... I just googled and found this that seems to conclude that premarital sex is a sexual immorailtyg, and sexual immorailty is a sin.
Not that I personsally chose to follow those rules - I've developed enough common sense to make decisions on my own, but that's just me.
But the vow of celibacy is archaic in itself; marriage is a sacrament. It's a rite of life.
The reason Catholic priests are celibate is because in the old days there was a land ownership issue in the church. When a man passed on, the land would have ended up under his wife's ownership.
So the church invented celibacy for priests.
Note that when the Catholic and Orthodox faiths split, Orthodox priests are supposed to be married, whereas Catholic are not. It was part of the dogma.
That said, we as humans have a hard time envisioning our lives finite and the universe infinite. Time has no end, so why must it have a beginning?
As far as I'm concerned, the key to immortality is through memories. Einstein transcends time. As do the Wright brothers, etc etc...
I know - makes wardriving suck though:) I just wish it was as nice as XP SP2's wireless UI - they got something right there.
Admittedly I just discovered "iwlist wlan0 scan" so life won't be as bad at least:)
I just wish Airsnort worked with ndiswrapper:( Using a Linksys WPC11 (version 4 - Realtek), and can't get Airsnort to work... Haven't tried Kismet yet though...
No wonder people are saying to heck with the internet. Spam, virii, worms, spyware, goofy OS problems... My dad asked me, "What damn good is it?" I see his point.

Actually, they haven't been pussyfooting around the issue - there's only so much a government can do. NAFA has ruled in Canada's favour, as has the WTO.
If the US choses to ignore those rulings, what recourse do we have? Start a trade war? That's just stupid.
But even in the US's history there's been a tonne of books banned at one time or another. Books such as Moby Dick, Tom Sawyer, and Frankensten have been banned.
Really, who observed free speech when banning those books?
Because America has the highest incarceration rates in the world, and they obviously want to add some distance between themselves and the Country that holds the #2 spot:)

Furthermore, the OP's desire to see evolution tested by means of observation is perfectly valid science. Whether or not he chooses to apply this principle uniformly to all his beliefs is completely irrelevant to its validity in this instance.
Actually it is quite relevant, and bang on with my point. The..."where are the half-monkey people" is always made by those who believe in creationism. And his choice of idiomatic expression is quite revlevant; I never refer to earth as "god's green earth". If you believe it to be god's, you are religious.
So my point is quite valid,relevant, and not an ad-hominem, because I gave ample reason why he is talking out his ass:)
Next you state as a premise We have empirical evidence to support the theory of evolution. This is the very point the OP was calling into doubt. And now you're using it to refute him! THAT's a circular argument.
The empirical evidence is in fossils and carbon dating. If you don't agree with fossils, you also dismiss the existance of dinosaurs. How can one accept Dinosaurs but dismiss Cro-Magnon Man? The existance of dinosaurs is universally accepted. So should the existance of Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal, and the rest of it.
And you missed my point. To argue language evolution as the premise of the tower of Babel is contradictory. we either have language evolution, or we all spoke one language. What exactly does Hindi have in common with Chinese, or Swaheely (sp), or Native American languages?
I'm not trying to present you with a false dichotomy, but either language developed differently in different regions, or as the bible points out, we speak different languages because we tried to build a big tower and pissed off God. YOu can't take the hybrid of the two and attemt to justify a rediculous story like the tower of Babel.
Let's really analyze it by examining the premises provided:
1. The poster wrote they believe in the bible per "Who on god's green earth statement" 2. No one has seen monkeys turn into humans - very valid point which we know a priori. *3. Because of (2), the poster believes in observation to draw conclusions. *4. The poster has not seen Noah's arc, and has not seen a flood. I therefore conclude: 5. The poster has uses his discretion in asserting when to apply the observation argument.
6. We have empirical evidence to support the theory of evolution. (a priori) 7. We have empirical evidence called carbon dating to prove the earth is over 6000 years old (a priori). I also conclude: 9. The OP ignores empirical evidence, and choses to rely solely on observation to prove origins. and 10. The OP has faith in the bible per (1), which itself is unprovable through observation. Therfore I finally conclude that: 11. The OP is talking out his ass and selectively applies observation to refute premises.
Before you get your tits in a knot and try to use the bible as an argument for observation of Noah's arc, just keep in mind that using the bible as a premise to prove believe is a circular argument, and you can find enough ciritical analysis of said argument online, so I'm not going to bother posting the inference drawn from using the bible as a premise to conclude anything.
There is no ad-hominem attack. To use a term in accurately, as I've seemingly refuted means that you are pretentious and do not yourself understand the meaning of critical thinking, and are alse pretentious for using a term you learned in a first year philosophy class inappropriately.
Well that's a pretty feeble attempt IMO... Language evolution can easily be traced to common characteristics. German, French, Spanish, and English can be traced like that. Now compare them to Hindi and Chinese and you'll see a HUGE difference. If there was a language evolution as you suggest, Hindi would look like a cross between arabic and Chinese. In fact it isn't.

lol I was thinking FoxGoo would be even worse...
I'll bet every PC has a floppy drive at your network. Do you not realize that a floppy drive is a bigger security risk than internet access?
The worse security failures occur internally, not from an external hack. Something like 86%.

Though I question the last thing you said; wasn't pre-marital sex considered a sin then too?

Doesn't XSL convert XML to HTML (or any other document) anyway?
In my world I use both. XSL when I need something really robust; CSS when I need to reuse css styles.
Both have their place. Arguing whether one or the other is better is really moot. You can use CSS with XSL to render XML anyway.
