The better man is the one that pays for his mistakes. And usually it's not the restaurant owner that pays for not putting items on the check. It's the waiter, who will probably charge someone else if he can, or curse you in his mind, and do one of 2 things: 1. learn from the experience, 2. spit in your food the next time you go to that restaurant. Being noble is anti-evolutionary.
Orange is not just an ISP. It's a multinational mobile telecom company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_SA. As far as I know, after they were bought by France Telecom, they moved many their servers to a unique class B adress space. Maybe that address you found is from the old ones, which is not used anymore for mail, so unblocking it doesn't interest them.
On the other hand, getting a blacklist like this, doesn't seem to solve your problem: getting less SPAM. Do you think spammers don't have enough money to get themselves out of blacklists? Do you think that every individual legit(not SPAM) business or server checks all, of the many, blacklists to see if he's on one of them? And if they do, how many will pay the fee to get themselves of that list?
I for one welcome our new Hentai-tycoons-on-UK-market overlords.
But now seriously speaking, you know all those 14 yo looking girls in hentai are probably supposed to be 18-19 for them. We see the japonese women as younger than they really are, and they see the white women as older also.
Last time I checked not all forces were weights and not all measures mass. The eV is a measurement for charge, which if you are keen on making comparisons could be the equivalent in electric field to mass in the gravitational field. But anyway the neutrino will not "weigh 2eV" ever.
When I moved to Spain 3 months ago, I was shocked to discover that blank DVD-Rs cost 1/piece and CDs are almost 0.90/piece. Suposedly this price is covering the music/movie industry losses. Also games (legaly sold) are 50% more expensive than other places. For example games 5-10 years old are sold for 15. Maybe this explains why their proficiency in both english and computers is quite limited.
I don't have a link to support this, but there was also another eco-system like this discovered in Dobrogea region of Romania, a few years ago. The species were as in this case pretty strange and rare.
I cant imagine how you are so naive as to belive Microsoft removed that blog by their own will.
Do you think the Chinese government will ever do bussines with Microsoft if they dont comply to all the demands of the "revolution"? Do you think it's so hard for the Chinese to start, again, making copies of Microsoft Software, instead of paying for them?
Even if China didnt say it explicit, I'm pretty sure Microsoft understands the implications of not going along with everything China demands.

This comment is as useless as the article. It gives nothing of true relevance. Kinda reminds me of that character in Monkey Island who wanted "something that will atract attention, but have no real importance".
Now to be in the real spirit of Slashdot, mod me insightfull.
I lived in Romania. I learnt in Romania. I still live in Romania, but that's another story:)
We now have a new model of teaching math, which concentrates mostly on "computing" things; every exercise asks you "blah, blah, a=6, b=8, blah blah blah, x=?". Geometry, trigonometry, algebra, analysis, everything. We call this "evolving to the way the western society does teaching".
When I started really learning math, by this I mean the 5th grade, the exercises were like "Hypothesis: Given A and B _prove_ that C holds". Simple things, things which solved _a whole class_ of exercises with numbers, which later developed into more complex things, which were built with these bricks.
When you put things like this the student has to think of a way to prove C, maybe even be original about it. Maybe prove a few lemmas before proving that C holds. An exercise like this will have a two page solution in which you will never see a number, possibly (I'm exagerating a little, but you all get the ideea). When you find numbers in an exercise you'll be happy to get out of it the easy way: you have solved the problem before, you just filled the dotted spaces, trivial.
Also as an example, when we were shown the formula A^2 + B^2 = C^2 (the Pythagora theorem), we were shown the prof for this and also prof for the reciprocal theorem. When we were told that cos(a+b) = cos(a)*cos(b) - sin(a)*sin(b), in the 9th grade, we were also given the demonstration.
For every theorem I saw during my highschool, if the reciprocal theorem holded, the reverse implication was true, I was shown the prof for that too.
I like math, I think math is easy, or at least not harder than other things that are more difficult than crossing a street.
You might think I was very smart at that time compared to the majority of my generation to be able to understand all this at that age, you are probably right:) (I'm also very modest). But really, all my colegues who found all this much more difficult than me, and who pursued other kind s of carrers which are not related at all with math have now a very well formed way of thinking. Math taught us to think.
We were ofcourse lucky to have gifted math teachers, who could teach us all this the right way, but my final point is math is good for your brain, it allows you to develop good thinking, makes you learn how to think. Even people who study liberal arts (yes, i mean you two liberal-arts-students-reading-slashdot), should have a good understanding of basic math.
As a final word: Math is like sex... err... no it's not like it... math is... err... may the... err... no that was not it... err... "This is a good day for science!"... yes, this is it, or at least close to it.
Because comments like "I for one welcome our stack-smashing overlords", do not qualify in a hacker community.
Who would be the editors? Come on, I see here complains about the editoring of slashdot as it is... old news, dupe stories, plus as some of the other posters have said, a strong "hacker" culture is required to be an editor for something like Phrack. Slashdot is going down, quality-wise. I for one will not go for a Phrack which is the same.
In my oppinion the parent is hugely overrated. Sorry mate.
Of much more practical use to most: he is the co-author of Knuth-Morris-Pratt, linear-time, string matching algorithm. Great thing, I recommend everyone who is interested in computer science to spend some time trying to understand it.
About his books, well... they fall in that category of books everyone says he read, but none actually did. They are much to complicated, and thus useless for all things except library space consumer (they are too expensive to keep as a door jam). This is probably why they have on the back that Bill Gates quote.
Yes, he's the same guy. Maybe his only realy valuable contribution to CS. IMO his books are overrated. When I when to ACM regionals everyone had "Introduction to Algorithms" on their tables. Also ItA is in to top 3 quoted books in CS.
A simple example of this working might be:
when you arive in an area with WiFi, a VoIP call thru the telco server is initiated, which of course can be charged, and the voice stream is directed to the VoIP connection.
The costs charged by the telco will probably be a little lower since you don't generate traffic on their cellular network, instead using only the internet for traffic. Also I don't think they need to own the hotspots you use.

I stand corrected. Made a fool ...
