Who decides what is and is not spam in the first place?
Me.
I'm an expert in politics and the way to solve this spam problem is to grant me absolute power to act as judge, jury and executioner against vermin spammer bastards.
Are you trolling to trying to be funny? I can't tell.....
I was joking, it's a parody of people who accuse Bush of being devious, mad and incompetent and then claim that Axis of Evil countries won't do anything crazy because it is not in their long term best interests.
Even the most retarded religious fundamentalist understands that dropping a nuclear bomb on someone who has one, or has a country which has one for a friend, isn't such a bright idea.

Some of the fundamentalists BELIEVE in their god. They don't care if they all die, so long as they go to heaven.
That's just neocon propaganda. In reality the governments of Iran and North Korea are made up of rational people who will always act in their countries' long term best interests despite their rhetoric. They are totally unlike the US government which will screw up and start wars because of the sort term interest of the ruling class and/or a miscalculation and plunge the world into chaos.
No, more likely, the world (or more precisely Humanity, the planet would do better without than with us on it) will slip back to feudalism as cheap energy resources wane, and a sizable portion of the earth population will be destroyed by an ugly, multi-decade, low-level world war fueled by bigotry and poverty.
If there's one thing I can't stand it's bigotry. Well that and the French.
HSV I and HSV II (cold sores and herpes) are actually passed extremely easily by skin-to-skin contact. Condoms are not actually that great a way to protect against them.
Hah, so cunnilingus with give you brain rot* with or without a dental dam.
So all you suckers that used 'em are screwed too.

It needs to be based on public/private key cryptography. They should send you a random challenge and you should sign it and send back the result.
Actualy I've got a bank account in Sweden. They hand out hardtokens. When you bank online they tell you two four digit numbers which they generate at random. You enter a pin code, which only you know, into the hard token and then the 2 numbers. It signs them and gives you a six digit result which you tell them. Essentially the bank knows your public key and the private key is inside the hardtoken, protected by your PIN.
It's not perfect of course but it is better than sending the private key in plaintext, which is what happens with SSNs and passwords. If someone steals your hardtoken they still need to guess the PIN to be able to pose as you. Of course if you lose the hardtoken you're screwed.
A nuke in a backpack is good for a surprise attack but not much use as a threat. Anyhow backpack sized nukes are not technologically trivial things to construct.
It's a cool idea, like MIRV for missile defense. I like the way they have what looks like two parallel programs, a safe but low performance one (MKV-R) and a risky but potentially high performance one (MKV-L). They will presumably select a winner from tests for mass production.
This sort of thing could plausibly allow the US to shoot down high tech missiles like the Russian Topol M.
Now I'm not saying the US will actually fight Russia, but the Topol M shows you what post missile defense ICBMs will look like. At the moment the US could probably shoot down low tech missiles like North Korea will develop in decade or so and sell to Iran. Technologies like MKV would allow them to have a fair crack at the sort of missiles Russia has now and China would have in the next couple of decades. Or anyone has in couple of decades really.
I dunno, I think he should delete system32 to speed things up. Because Microsoft are fascists Vista will try to stop you with UAC prompts and meaningless warnings. If you persist though your machine will be faster than you ever dreamed of.

Which raises the question...
Who decides what is and is not spam in the first place?
Me.

Also, I never implied that everyone doesn't care nor did I imply that everyone does care.
So you are saying that percentage that do care is not 0 or 100 but rather somewhere in between. That's a bold statement, but one I think I agree with.
This is my Internet face >:3
Come on... no Ctrl+Tab switching?
How could anyone possibly use it without that feature?
Seems like a deal-breaker for me...
Hardware is cheap these days. Why not buy a bunch of netbooks and open each tab on a different one?

Sarcasm is for small-minded people. You're a lawyer, and thus are supposed to be smarter than that. Please stop.
You realise it was a lawyer that coined the idiot catchphrase "if the glove don't fit you must acquit" don't you?
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin.
Is it really an essential liberty that you can buy a SIM card anonymously?
Well it's not like you have any say in the matter. Pay up or go to jail.
Taiwan has one too
They have their own PAC-2 class missiles and have also bought PAC-3s from the US.
Wrong stereotype I'm afraid. I think this action will affect pictures like this

So hopefully clusterfucks like this won't happen in future

Actually it is possible they could do it now if they wanted to

Certainly they could do it in a few years.

Russia has MIRVed Topol M's

Once North Korea has ICBMs they will sell them to Iran and the like.

Yeah it's mentioned in Revelations, just after the seas boil and and the cities burn.
That doesn't help though. Slashdot doesn't have an atomic "check for first post, submit this post if one is not present" feature.
That's virtual address space, not RAM.

That's racist. Black helicopters may commit more crime, but that is because of complex socioeconomic factors.
