According to slashdot it breaks down something like this:
1. If your running Windows it is a spambot that is not only spamming everyone but it is also responsible for all the evil the world.
2. If your running Linux it is fairly secure and have too much time on your hands.
3. If your running Mac it is fairly secure and you like pretty colors.
4. If your running BSD your invisible and a l33t hax0r.
5. If your running Gentoo your a zealot! Hooray for the zealots!
Someone needs to go back in time and stop all these Hollywood production companies from picking up the rights to every book/classic movie on the planet and making dry/predictable over budgeted remakes/sequels. I will obviously have to see the movie too make a final judgment however I would say the majority of remakes/sequels lately have been pretty poor quality.
I would love to have one of these that would work with my Linux computer that doubles as a Mame arcade, I currently am using these controllers for gaming on my Windows computer and they are great. There are several different styles of controllers for PC now that are great and that easily compare to anything available in the console arena.
However, they obviously would not be filtering out communications from classes or student to student. The filters that they were using from the article seemed to be filtering only obvious SPAM (ie. porn etc.). The spam could also be considered to be a hinderance to delievering the email reliably. The filtering mechanisms that are available now are very effective and efficient.
"Because of the legal obligation to deliver all mail and of the delay time exceeding critical 5 days(!)"
Is it just me or is this another ridiculous law? The University is providing free email services to those that are students at this establishment and they obviously need to filter out spam in order to be able to offer this service with there current hardware requirements. Spam is a legitimate problem and people that are offering free email services should be allowed to attempt to filter it as it can be extremely taxing on a busy mailserver. They can filter the spam without being intrusive or breaking privacy laws so I see no reason that it should be prevented by law.
The artists have given consent that their songs can be used and distrubuted in this medium. The artists that will allow themselves to be distributed this way are doing so because they want to help Oxfam, not so much as to make huge lump somes of cash. The artists should be congratulated for not being so utterly greedy and helping out such a charitable organization.
This is not very useful as it is only tracking the images that are being loaded when the email is being viewed. However, most email clients now block these inline images from being loaded so this software will not function. In text based email clients it also will not function at all. These features have already been included in such email clients as evolution.
How dare you release our plans to the rest of the world. Your identity will be erased and we will be seeing you shortly. If you already have a tinfoil hat I suggest you wear it as you make your body suit.
I didn't say you had to believe those links, all I said is that those are some I have looked at lately. Go watch a few of his movies, such as Bowling for Columbine, and read a few history books and you will see that he distorts issues to create more support for the issue that he believes.
"Just because someone makes a documentary does not mean they have an obligation to be fair to anyone."
He doesn't have an obligation to be fair no, but if he wants to claim that his documentary is based on true relevant information he has to show both sides of the situation and include some explanations for situations which he clearly leaves out.
"Also, if you believe the web site you've been reading you need to pay better attention. Maybe read something substantial rather than tabloid style web sites trashing a courageous film maker.Whether you agree with his politics or not, you have to agree it takes brass balls to release a film this critical of Bush in this day and age of the PATRIOT ACT and other hystaria."
I have not commented on the balls that it takes to release such a movie as that is virtually irrelevant.
"Btw, do you have any FACTS?"
I am not going to start disecting his movies here for you on slashdot if you would like to do so watch them and pick up a history book or browse the Internet for sources you find viable.
"Your opinions in the above statement contains, "facts [that] are almost always distorted so that they meet [your] perception of reality."
Another top notch response. Did you know that you can do that with virtually any sentence?
"Your weak ass web references only contradict your argument cause those people are no better than Moore himself. They are completely biased and make no effort to be fair."
This is completely ridiculous plenty of those references contain substantial irregularities that exist in Micheal Moore's movies, you don't have to believe everything on there obviously, but you can do some research and see that many are true.
"That is what your point was?"
Well since you barely touched upon my point and retaliated with an idiotic rant the answer is no.
"Don't you feel like a hypocrite now?"
No, you posted under AC and replied with some idiotic jibberish.
I agree completely, I think that many people are upset as his works are not documentaries and the facts are almost always distorted so that they meet his perception of reality. He does not seem to be capable of making a documentary that shows both sides of the story and where he refrains from making comments on the situation that are based on his biases and own agenda. Here are a few links I have looked at on him lately:
It's unfortunate but in the current situation such a large number of people would have to refuse to carry them to have an effect on the government that I couldn't see that happening any time soon.
"I can't tell if you're karma whoring or if you've written a rather amusing satire of the way a lot of people here on Slashdot behave."
I for one have an excellent skill at detecting an attempt at karma whoring, and I can tell you without a doubt that this is one of them. By this I meant the post that you just finished reading.

Even horses the size of ants!
This is what happens when you don't grow out of those times! On a positive note at least you have some change of getting laid.

What development plan are you looking at these features are surely not going to be available on such a quick schedule.
