Agreed - generally speaking spam is spam is spam. Your penis enlargement email is just as irritating as my penis enlargement email (unless you have self esteem problems)
Additionally, since most spammers use literature as a filter fooler, surely it would be better if more people were adding the same literature that would never appear in a real email to the filter? Not to mention the benefits of if the filter includes headers, so the spammer's mail relays and addresses all get effectively blacklisted.
It's certainly something I find useful when shopping. Come on RFID tags, I want to be able to pass my trolley's scanner over two items and get a straight comparison on the LCD!
I agree with the comment about needing the NBR there - if it was someone else then I have a feeling the whole thing would fade away. I suppose this will be one of the many 'improvements' in MSN 7... a new gaming system.
They do have the infrastructure to pull something like this off. Maybe if more game developers realised that the internet was the ideal self-publishing platform (think VALVe and Steam), or that people like Microsoft have the infrastructure to get things played, then we will see a sudden influx of new, cheap games?
The only trouble now is that I'll need the MSN application to play it. Curse those proprietary bits.
Think 'free at the point of use' like the NHS (well, like the NHS should be). The NHS works off one tax no matter how much you use it, TV licencing is much the same, although not admittedly 'free' in the traditional sense of the word (but what is nowadays?)
In addition to the variety of free channels (and radio stations) funded by this licence, it also funds FreeView, which is free to view digital TV.
If you don't want to pay Sky or NTL an extortionate amount per month, you can still get digital TV for the one-off cost of a digital TV or a set-top box.
Without the licence fee the BBC would not be the world-renowned television service it is today. BBC World Service anyone? I don't see CNN World Service.
But given that I have two PCs and a fridge in my room anyway, all on 24/7, I am wasting very little total input energy since it either all goes into running my workstation, running my network, keeping my beer cold, or keeping my room warm.
Just a thought...
At the risk of my karma taking yet another hit as I'm modded down as flamebait, feel free to take your American designs and shove them up your ass.
It was an international competition, with international help. Without countless small people and other countries, there would never have been a competition to start with let alone a SpaceShipOne.
Agree with the idea, disagree with the use of "lowest grade". It's mostly to do with suitability for a job, you are not going to pay someone with a PhD to work in a call centre any more than you are going to trust an unskilled labourer in aircraft design.
There are simply more jobs in the unskilled sector and most natives to a country who have been through education are too highly skilled to be an economic viability if employed in the unskilled sector.
I always thought they named the processors by throwing together random letters and adding a latin prefix. Can't we give them all numbers (286/386/486-esque?)
UK policy is that you shall have vaccines such as measles, meningitis etc. unless you have a valid medical reason not to (allergy to the vaccine etc.). The recent media hype about MMR doesn't change the fact that you must by law have measles, mumps and rubella vaccinations, combined or not.

Pedalphiles? I think the children would be mildly entertained for a good 30 seconds trying to understand the joke.
I have a 19" CRT monitor, flanked by a 17" and a 15" LCD. When coding I cannot do without them.
The 15" runs all my messaging apps, Outlook etc. so I can keep in touch.
The 17" is used for documentation and a test window or two.
The 19" is used for actual work.
At school I'm crammed down to 800x600 on a 15" CRT, and to be honest it really grinds against me. Multiple monitors are useful but sadly addictive.

Not AFAIK, but given how much MS tracks you then you never know.

Amen to that. "Ours goes to 11" If only I had some mod points to give you a funny.

Sorry, I missed the tags there.
3. Wait until you get featured on /. and let the cream of the web community figure it out for you.
I know exactly what I meant, I just didn't type it. That is indeed what I meant, DoD:S will be available along with CS:S to certain packages.
modDB is saying that DoD will also be included on Steam. Yay/nays?

You do realise that now people *will* images.google for pitbull? Fool.
Sadly true - they will become even more synonimous with computing
Since the line is voice only, wouldn't this technically be the same as using an analogue autodialer and therefore be illegal?
My bad - blame the education system for feeding me crap in my PSHCE lessons :D
Yes, you are. Check the HTML. The actual domain is curvet.co.kr, but because it's over multiple lines I think it confuses your browser.

This is what SlashDot has been reduced to? Can we implement a bayesian article filter please?
