they would come straight into the middle of my website, at a specific page rather than the root. This means that the spambots obviously had some kind of database of pages, which had presumably been built up from previous visits
That's possible I guess, but mayhap a search engine done told em where to go.
the bot would come in, scan pages rapidly for maybe a few seconds, and then stop for a while. So it was obviously making at least some attempt to circumvent blocks based on frequency/quantity of requests.
Or it's processing...
I guess Ill actually finish reading it all now.. sorry... pet peeve, distracted, must stop picking
You can also earn points by shaking hands with such Universal Studios movie characters as the Wolfman, Frankenstein, E.T., and the Creature from the Black Lagoon

This way all you have to do is mouth words into the phone...not actually speak!"...it sure would be nice every time hemos calls me from the discotheque.
Maybe you could use the mouth movement to determine which sounds should be transmitted. That way you could actually hear the other peson but filter out the extra sounds.
Kookyness. First you say: For some reason, MS Hardware is damn fine division
then you mention: I had a faulty Intellimouse,
then, as if one failed unit wasn't enuff, you Had the smaller white one faulty.
Hmmm... what fine examples of a "superior mouse"
I wonder if this is really because it would make it harder for the police to communicate and find all the pot grown there. Not that I would know about that.
But it's dead on to say people will not pay for things they can currently get for free.
You mean like cable TV and MS OSs?
Not true. Depends on if they are the EXACT same thing or not. Cable and MS are paid for because they offer (at least in the minds of the purchaser) something the free alternative does not.
I need to demonstrate that the benefits of autoconf outweigh the costs of migrating a large system of makefiles with a lot of ad-hoc kludge-enabling logic.
You sir, are ignint. It bothers me that you set out to prove something you are not sure of. You should be investigating if the benefits of autoconf outweigh the costs of migrating. Not just set out to prove something that will earn you geek points. You do a disservice to anyone simply interested in facts.
Michael sed But none of it matters until they have ultra-thin, durable, flexible pages that can be manufactured cheaply...
What an assanine comment. I happen to care about it just as I cared about computers before they were able to be manufactured cheaply. Sounds like this guy only cares about being a silly little end user who only wants to be fed little news bites to let him know when he can run over to Circuit City and get one.
yup, I just noticed the caption of the photo on the first page of the article. At least read the photo captions. Thats all I do... well I hope you do more than I actually...

Bart: Lis! Lis, come here, I found him! I found Edgar Neubauer.

grouch (1831-1909)"]
Oh my God...the dead have risen and they're voting Republican.
Lisa: [gasp] No, Bart, don't you see? Dead people can't vote.
[pulls out list, looks at another tombstone]
Prudence Goodwyfe, died 1641. She voted for Bob too. [gasps] So
did Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper.
[walking] Even the pet cemetery voted for Bob, look! Mr. and
Mrs. Bananas, Humphrey Boa-Gart...oh, my poor dead kitty, please
not you too...
[checks list, sees "Snowball I"]
[angry] All right, Bob, now it's personal!
Now the Giant, along with many other companies, jump to Linux bandwagon.

Please. Thank you.
For those of you who took the time to read the tech law journal artical, you probably also saw the introduction of the location privacy bill from Sen. John Edwards. I find this equally interesting news for nerds given the typical slashdotter paranoia.
Under the bill, "any company that monitors consumers' physical location will be prohibited from using or disclosing that information without express permission from the consumer. And third parties that gain access to the information cannot use or disclose it without the individual's permission first."
Very unfortunate that the search feature sounds so lame. Mayhap Ill be forced to aquire a copy, add a wee search thingie of my own (since it appears to only have to search [and maybe index] html pages), and then burn that onto a cd and... uh.... distribute it myself.
In summary... Why do they wish to be like that?
I do like to think I would have noticed a clause saying I owe them $500 for anything! I tend to read contracts pretty carefully.
well.... was there a clause or not?
Sheesh. Not only should you read contracts... keep them too. Im keeping my equipment till they pry it from my [knock knock] oops they're here.... shit.
