CI Host have been spamming me for over a year, since I first enquired about hosting with them.
I decided to go with another host, and have been receiving their marketing crap ever since. There's no unsubscribe option, and they ignore all the emails I send asking them to stop.
I hope their mailserver was amongst the stolen machines.
In my experience, a lot of USENET providers will scan for, and silently delete, any messages containing binary content which were posted to a non-binaries group.
So it depends where you're getting your feed from...
That is video footage of a student being tasered at UCLA for not showing his ID card in the library.
The story we were discussing is the guy at the University of Florida...
But then, I also think that the biggest problem with the VT shooting was that there were too FEW guns on campus. After all, if an armed student, or staff/faculty member had the ability to defend against this rampage, it would have cut the body count down by QUITE a bit.
Good to see that in the immediate aftermath of the terrible shooting at Virginia Tech, the pro guns lobby in America were already arguing that the tragedy could have been averted if only everyone on the campus had been carrying a gun. It wasn't the casual availability of guns that caused this problem, it was in fact down to guns not being available enough. I am sure that if every man, woman and child in America was legally forced to carry a gun then there would be far fewer killings. I know that if I had a gun that I would be shooting at least five of the inconsiderate and rude people I meet every day. But I am surely the exception. Most people would only use them to shoot maniacs on killing sprees, thus making the world a better place.
Maybe it's a crazy dream, but maybe if all Americans were given guns tomorrow morning, by tomorrow evening they would all have successfully shot each other to death and the rest of the world could get on without them. The deaths of millions of people would be sad in the short term, but in the long term more lives would be saved around the world if there were no Americans left to bomb places.
He was being satirical, obviously. But you really helped make his point with that post...
ASP.NET is the.NET version of ASP - ie. you can use any of the.NET languages, AFAIK.
The point of.NET is that it's non-language specific, so you can use VBScript, VB.NET, C#, etc etc. ASP's still the wrapper though.
I am not a Microsoftie by any means, so I'm sure there's more to it than that.
But yes, most people would assume "ASP" referred to "VBScript in an ASP wrapper". Just wanted to point out that this isn't always the case though.
ASP is not a language. It is a glorified wrapper, or a "server-side scripting environment" according to Microsoft.
It usually contains VBScript when used on IIS, but can also contain JScript, and yes, even Perl.
On Apache, as you've already learnt, it can contain Perl if using Apache::ASP, or VBScript/JScript if using Chillisoft IIRC, although it's been a while since I looked.
Many people have said the same, but they do not understand the situation here.
The previous regime was NOT a democracy, it was merely labelled as such.
The junta handed power over to an interim civilian government within a couple of weeks of the coup - we will now have free and democratic elections next year. This would not have happened under the previous "democratic" regime. Also take note that the timing was to prevent slaughter of civilians and imposition of martial law by the previous regime.
Oh, and coups are nothing new here - September's coup was Thailand's 18th coup since 1932.
It's not a military dictatorship.
The military handed power over to an interim government very quickly, headed by a chap who the local press, media and people all seem to support. There will be free and democratic elections in 2007, which is more than Thailand got under the previous "democratic" rule.
Lèse majesté is already a criminal offense in Thailand - but in this case we're dealing with the first definition. Specifically we're dealing with people offending the King or the royal family.
Not at all surprised that they would want to enforce this on the internet too.
We didn't have a "democracy" - we had a Prime Minister, Thaksin, who'd already resigned in April - why was he still in power? The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) had been protesting against this for months, and were due to demonstrate again on Sep 20th.
Thaksin had allegedly arranged for troops to fire on them, then declare martial law - giving him as long as he wanted to remain in power.
The coup was held on the evening of Sep 19th, largely to prevent this bloodshed, and further loss of democracy. The tanks were just for show , incidentally - no shots were fired.

Because Google Groups does not archive any binary Usenet content.

Yes. Yes, it is.
And even though you haven't been at war since 1945, you're doing more than half of them now.
Maybe he works in a developed country - with free healthcare.
Which I believe is only one more "mysterious brain injury" away from being a Republican congress...

Consider yourself educated.
So you don't get paid vacation days? That sucks.
I believe 20 days paid holiday per year is the legal minimum in the UK.
Wikipedia has more to say on it than really belongs here.

No, I don't agree with censorship.
Sure, the new government do, but so did the old one.
The censorship policy is not "better" or "worse", it is exactly the same.

That's something of an oversimplification.

The coup was obviously undemocratic, but Thailand is now actually in a far better situation than under the previous regime. I live here.
But yeah, this chap clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
LUKE: Leia... do you remember your mother? Your real mother?
LEIA: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.
Or just re-dub it, to simply things even further:
PALPATINE: Good. Good. The Force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth . . . *mumble*
I'll give you the Padme one, but we already knew Anakin was Vader in Ep3. So when Vader appears in Ep4, it's fairly obvious that he's not dead.
Unfortunately, I suspect the products you'd most appreciate are the ones he wouldn't be keen on bringing through customs.
Not true.
A friend is flying with Qantas from Heathrow to visit me in Bangkok on Saturday.
They will be screening Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" on the flight.
