"When I equipped my +6 Bitkeeper Shield of Source Code, my PRDTVTY not only increased by more than half, it went up to 11"

I read somewhere that since they eject (or did at some point) their bodily wastes from the space station, everything that returns from orbit is now covered in a thin coat of urine.
Anyone know if this is true/false? Google doesn't show anything.
If true, I guess that changes the meaning of "whizzing around the Earth"
Theres nothing wrong with an ISP filtering things on the request of a customer.
Why does the government need to force all ISPs to offer this service? If the customers wanted it, and it was profitable for the ISP to implement it, they would do it.
It seems to be just a case of people trying to force the cost of parenting onto others, in this case the ISP.
The closest thing I could recommend would be squeezing everything onto one line, using CompactMenu
Heres a screenshot of it being on one line. (I use mouse gestures for the other navigation buttons). In order to get rid of the extra lines, you have to uncheck both "Navigation Toolbar" and "Bookmarks Toolbar".
Its not as technically neat, but it really helps maximize screen space, something that this new Netscape Beta can't figure out.
Here is the correct link for StrokeIt - Mouse Gestures for Windows. Personally, I found it too convoluted to set up, although I do enjoy mouse gestures in my browser.
However... you run a $29 Internet Explorer Shell?
Have you not heard of free shells such as Maxthon? Or even Avant?
Using either over Opera or Firefox is just silly, though.
The scary thing is: there have been times when they did this, people DID get the original photos. They distributed digital photos with black bars over the abuse, in order to find the location.
Problem? They forgot to make it impossible to remove the black bars, probably by sending them out as PSDs.
Heres an even worse case of negligence:
Hopefully no one is whipping themselves over this one, because it would be fatal. As it is, it'll probably be fatal to someone's career. Australia's Education Department intended to alert principals to children who are at risk by distributing their faces, cropped photographs from kiddy porn images at the request of the police. But somewhere between human error and bad software, the images didn't get cropped and the emails went out with the full sexual images. Which were opened by 80% of the recipients. Which has the police department groveling in guilt and shame, and promising "a full internal investigation." Read the original story on News.com (Australia):

Regardless of the troll against Windows in the parent, he's right. Exceem is a failure. They not only made it closed source, but they made it spyware, a la Kazaa. Having it on Linux with the adware still inside would *not* have made it an attractive alternative.
It also connects to a centralized server, which really defeats the point of a decentralized tracker.
Bittorrent already has a standardized port range, 6881 to 6891. This is simply a new way to get torrent files, not a radical shift for the bittorrent protocal. You'll still connect to seeds and peers, but you'll get the.torrent files on a P2P basis, instead of a centralized tracker.
However, that doesn't change the fact that eXeem is adware.
Exactly, my antivirus (Panda Antivirus) has a simular feature: you can send suspicious files to them.
I'm pretty sure that Microsoft uses the information to tell whether the recommended action should be ignore (like for MSNger Plus! - not spyware, just contains an optional adware toolbar for a "sponser") or remove (for pretty much any software that is a true security threat).
Now... when it becomes self aware and causes a nuclear war in 1997, then we'll get worried.
PSP is coming to America. I've long thought that America could do with a few stronger influence of Paint and Shops on its software scene...
Oh wait, you meany "Playstation Portable". In which case *Why Didn't You Say So?* Some of us have interests outside of gaming you know (Lives, too, but thats a rumour).
I wouldn't say it is the students using spam to send things, I'd say its ignorant users allowing their computers to be taken over, many of which are students. I mean, there was an article where a student had no qualms with iMesh routing all of their traffic through their central server. In fact, he got upset when the university blocked the MarketScore servers which his traffic was being routed through:
"This sucks," said a Pennsylvania State University student in an e-mail interview. "I can't surf the web and I can't trade files if I uninstall the spyware. Why can't the college let me do what I want to do with my computer? The school computer security guys are being way more annoying than the spyware was."
If they're willing to accept software that "will record all your credit card numbers, will redirect your emails through their servers, and will record every single web page you visit" for a few mp3s, I'll bet they're gullible enough to let their computers become pawns for the Spam King.
I'd really like to see an electric razor that had a version of Windows on it. You'd be shaving your face, and then a holographic Clippy would pop up: "It looks like you're shaving your face, would you like tips on shaving your junk?"
I'm pretty sure that should be the prompt he'd give you no matter what you're shaving. "It looks like you're shaving your head, would you like tips on shaving your junk?"
I have just sent a letter into my local paper, in a recent letter it appears one guy has been innundated with spam. Of course, we find out in the letter that he clicks on the "unsubscribe" links, and now has taken to sending a reply back to the spam address. I replied with a letter detailing how using the Mozilla products (Mozilla, Firefox/Thunderbird), can help you not only with spam on your end, but prevent the installation of programs that can cause your box to become a zombie, which can easily be used to send spam. Hopefully the message got through.
On a related note, does anyone know why they keep sending these CI1IAS` emails? I mean, do people actually order pills from people who can't even spell properly?

From what I've heard, there may not be anymore "Firefox" and "Thunderbird".
There was plans to rename them as "Mozilla Browser" and "Mozilla Mail".
And lo and behold, my hunch is correct.
From the branding strategy:
Use the names "Mozilla Browser" and "Mozilla Mail" to describe the Firefox and Thunderbird projects after the 1.4 release.
So there will be Mozilla Firefox 1.4, but 1.5 and so on will be called Mozilla Browser. Firefox's popularity might change these plans though.

I don't know man, Yaweh lost his original media. They've been copying the 1s and 0s by hand all these years, and there has been *tons* of bit rot.

In other news EA has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with the American Pirate Association. The deal, reportadly worth $5 billion US, gives EA a monopoly over Pirate Related games for a period of 250 years.
James Blackbeard, president of the APA declined to say which deserted island he would deposit the booty at.
It is not clear how this deal affects software pirates.

Its stupid stories like these that make me root for the GNAA sometimes.
I hope he has learned his lesson and makes nightly backups from now on.

How dare you insinuate that there are programs other than emacs.
Blasphemy!
Just unplug your ethernet cable and your Windows box will be safe from worms!
