I think it's Earthlink that has a system that let's a user reject all mail that comes from unknown addresses and returns a mail to the sender that explains the email didn't reach the addressed person. You can then request to be whitelisted by clicking a link in the returned email, and the user will get a please add me request.
I find that a pretty good way for personal email accounts.
For instance some people at my workplace have terrible difficulty finding out which emails require immediate attention and which are garbage (not even spam).
They are slow in recognizing spam, and some get so overwhelmed with the amount of crap in their inboxes (which for some users only means 20 or 30% of their emails are spam) that they want to abandon email all together.
Of course somebody could put a better filter in place on the server and/or clients, but some people just can't handle email much yet. (it's the same people who you see opening windows explorer and stare at the screen for 2 minutes trying to figure out where their files are again, or those who double click links on internet pages because to open things you need to double click, right?)
obese child + no exercise = obese child
obese child + no exercise + bad food = increasingly obese child
so, start a healthy diet and you'll see improvement. On top of that please exercise regularly and you'll see dramatic improvement. What's a way to get non active kids raised on fast food and tv dinners back on track? Make exercise fun, make eating healthy food attractive.
disclaimer: i might be wrong; not all obese kids are on a bad diet without exercise, some kids are born big.
I've recenlty bought a 99 cent item from China(new 4 port USB 2.0 PCI card) with flat fee all around the world shipping for 9 dollars. That's a total of 7.7 euro's, that kind of card is around 15/20 euro's where in stores where i live, so even though the shipping cost might seems high it still can come out as a good buy.
When i got the package it turns out the guy paid like 4 dollars for stamps, so he made 5 dollars on the shipping. That's how he get his cut, fine by me.
I did tech support for a couple of years (1999-2002) and most of my users had enough respect to have me fix their problems with a smile.
There's always the occasional jackass but overall it was okay.
Now that i'm not doing tech support i find i get a lot more respect from people in the office when i help them out with their workstations.
I guess because it's not your job you get more respect for doing it, cause you're not expected to be able to fix everything on the spot (on tech support people expect you to be able to fix their machine in 2 minutes even if they dropped it from their desk or it started sparking & smoking after spilling some soda in it)
Indeed, if you're a year behind the latest releases you'll get good prices (I just recently bought UT2004 for cheap). Also required hardware will be a lot cheaper.
You just can't share with your friends how awesome the graphics look in your latest purchase cause they'll tell you your game is crap compared to the current games.
$700 a year at ~$50 a game means that they're only getting 14 a year.
Only 14? I like playing FPS games. I don't think i can remember any time there were 14 good FPS games out in one year. Not that i'd have the time to play 14 games in a year anyway.

a site focused on content without any style is still useful; a site focused on style without content is not.
Actually, style without content doesn't have to be useful. I mean, why do people like to go see art in a museum, cause it's useful?
I visit sites like css Zen Garden and CSS Beauty to check out nice designs. I couldn't care less what the site content is about.
True, if you can wait until the next batch of simular games comes out, the older games will drop in price a lot. I recently purchased Unreal Tournament 2004 for 16 dollars on Ebay, completely new retail US edition.
In the Netherlands you're considered a pirate when you make a copy of something and make it available publicly, without the permission of the creator/author.
When you use P2P i guess when the download is finished you have made a copy, and at that moment you are making the full copyrighted material available publicly, so you'd be a pirate.
Question is, why didn't Kraft register milka.fr if it was so important to them? Big companies should just register all big top level domains so you don't get this nonsense later. And if they don't they shouldn't be surprised someone else (legitemately) registered it, i think she's entitled to keep it because it's her name and Kraft was too cheap to register it in the first place.
I'd like computer users to know what they're doing as well. But i do know people who work on computers that stare at the screen for 20 seconds trying to figure out what this dialog box that just popped up means. They will click yes because they think it's something the computer needs to do to get on with whatever they're doing. I like the way SP2 in XP makes you think about what you're doing before allowing some blocked content to run/download. But to those who can't even figure out the yes/no dialog box, it won't be any good.
The problem is that everybody and their mother buys computers because they think they need one and the sales person showed them how easy it is to use, but they don't know enough about what is going on. There's no easy fix.
There are plenty of places where you can still get the latest movies, games, applications etc. Some of these place are only for the chosen few, but even the average surfer has found his way to the paid newsservers. Traffic is just going to shift from one place to the other, and when they start busting people in one place, the others will move quickly. It won't be long and people will start using (more) secure connections for their warez needs.
All the nominees this year were top notch ideas, and the winners deserved every moment in the spot light.
If slashdot comments count for anything i'd say the spot light is broke.
How would you answer honestly when someone asks you what you do for a living when you're working on the physics technology for Duke Nukem Forever without sounding like an idiot.
I actually almost got involved in doing the music for Duke Nukem Forver. I must say i don't regret it didn't happen.
I get the same 4 cds over cable while i sleep too. But i get them from ftp. This way i use some 2.5 gb bandwidth, but when it's done at 1am the connection will shut.
I've used bittorrent before but being on a montly data limit i prefer ftps, especially for larger files...
Slashdot Mirror
yeah
Google found this
Children Of The Mission's "Tears" (produced by Giorgio Moroder) which was used by DJ Shadow for his "Organ Donor"
You're right, i didn't know. Can't tell if what's played is Swollen Members or DJ Shadow then.
Seems the sample was used by DJ Shadow first according to this review
"Fuel Injected" features one of the most recognizable samples previously used by DJ Shadow
Since when is DJ Shadow geek music?

Exactly the point. You have them all point to the same place. That way you won't have some french lady use it for her shop.
