I hear each Bud is laced with an individual chemical compound not unlike a DNA for beer (or serial number). So they already know where you buy and once you piss the bastard out they have engineers down all sewer systems with receptors matching your DNA with the beers.. and bing bango NO PRIVACY FOR YOU!
This would require new legislation, something I know SFA about so let me know if its stupid/impossible.
Users are asked to put $1 into an account held by an independant non profit organisation when they want to start up a legitimate email address. when you receive AN UNSOLICITED email trying to sell you something, that $1 buys you the right of being able to log the sender and more importantly the website the spam refers you to.
Commence legal talk: introduce new legislation that requires companies to prove that the traffic/purchases on their site were not refered by spam. Investigate only companies that have been logged by more than (lets just say)10,000 users. Now the new legislations should include: if company A received purchases and money changes hands they are liable to a certain degree (I hate spammers so $10 for every $1 they receive).
then the organisation holding the account makes a purchase over the website (tracking the money as they go). immediatley stops payment and commences lawsuit against "company A" for damages 10 X the purchase.
the idea being to make spam not worth its while. also consumers can still buy, and at the end of the day take company A for 10 times their purchase if they are inclined.
as you can tell not much thought into this, but hey, maybe has some good point.. maybe not.
Love the idea, and congratulate them on taking a stand. Its definately a step in the right direction. However if I buy this CD I own it, and can do what I want with it, copy it, destroy it, give it away, sell it, maybe even listen to it. If they want to sell me a product and tell me what I can and cannot do, then I'm not buying.
I live with 9 other people, I wouldnt call them technophobes, they love technology, especially P2P like Kazaa.... and there in lies the problem, we share a house PC that needs about 8 hours a week of labour deleting the very latest in virus' and spyware. The only solution, since they cant stand the idea of education = prevention = easy street, is to act like a nazi/sysadmin at home and give them ZERO privledges.
so what your saying is file a lawsuit against Microsoft questioning the ownership of the the Windows code, have it subpoenaed and bingo bango OPEN SOURCE!
I understand due to the geographical and demographical situation, they will be running advertising campaigns warning potential customers to call before they plug their modems into the toaster!
If AMD took branding to mass media in a similar fashion to Intel, or at least in a way where they may be considered decent competition (ie TV adverts prime time) the price of your AMD chip would go through the roof to cover the costs. They may cost less, and chances are their cheaper too.

Y'know when you sign up for something (crap) online and they ask you to check your favorite sports, hobbies, work industry, gender etc.. just so they can provide you with "a better quality of service, that will help us send you only information on products that will meet your wants/needs...." Why the f*ck do I keep getting the lastest catalogue of penis enlargers?
how is this supposed to help me pick up chicks??... yeah yeah, I can get tickets to anything you want baby... im a foreigner!do they sell porn at this event?
This Kiwi guy was sending approx one hundred million emails a day!! From memory he eventually stopped after receiving a series of death threats at his home.
Big spam operator exposed
all new handsets are being subsidised by the networks.. check your tariff, every year they get more expensive, and thats why the phones keep coming down in price but the feature keep getting packed in.
might as well be Windings, probably easier to understand and a whole lot more entertaining! I know of at least one unnecessary war it would of stopped.
all this is old news, no new information has come out today.. just exisiting intel released in small chunks over a period of time to create more publicity for SCO, Microsoft and those damn anti-virus companies. Question: is it easier to spend $50 in anti-virus updates each year, or learn once (and remember) not to open and run executable files from unkown senders, or when your not expecting said delivery??
If/when Google float, there will be considerable pressure to recruit an alternative Chairman/CEO, obviously Dr Schmidt will take one position but who for the other?? perhaps this is a factor in their decision to delay the IPO.
Hotmail, how many times do you have to refuse a sales pitch, just to get a free web based email account, with 2MB storage limit, then its filled with spam and they deny you access twice a day. Alternatively you can buy more storage or buy a better spam filter..
anyone else getting jacked with googles search's returning page after page of crap from, kelkoo,toxiclemon,chilliwhatever..etc.etc.. ??obviously this is a major source of revenues for google, but its also shooting itself in the foot as soon as there is alternative (and as powerful)engine that doesnt return this sort of crap, im switching.
Still cant understand the reasons why Google would float. They already have 90% market share, that doesnt look like it will change.. Not sure the figure but there must be allot of people out there who think of Google when they hear the word "internet".. They dont sell a tangible product so they cant buy more stock of it.. So what is it??? Prestige of being a public company??? If so weve seen this formula is fundamentally flawed.. no-one will forget the dotcom crash or is it a case of survive an IPO increase you share price and THEN youve made it?? its almoast egotistical.

how about turning my mac into a pc??? or has that already been done.

What if I stall my car in the middle of an intersection. I probably wont but the person in front of me will, I can almost guarantee it!

Me first. Company second. Anyone who believes otherwise is delusional.
where me is the company (ie. the owner) it would be delusional to not source your skills offshore, if thats your attitude!

but then again, if I buy a gun....

that i can download video porn with..
to save on cost MS may not make the Xbox2 backwards compatible.. They could save a fortune if it didnt play games either!

Extremophiles are micro-organisms that grow optimally in some of earth's most hostile environments of temperature
have they tried looking at the area between SCO and the truth? or Gatesies fist for that matter??
If/when Google float, there will be considerable pressure to recruit an alternative Chairman/CEO, obviously Dr Schmidt will take one position but who for the other?? perhaps this is a factor in their decision to delay the IPO.
If they needed the money to stay alive then that'd be one thing, but they don't.
youd invest in the IPO of a company that cant survive on its own two feet?
