The problem is that everyone keeps trying to create laws to specifically address the spam problem.
There are already existing laws against fraud, computer B&E, etc.
What needs to changes is obviously the mail protocol and the parties held accountable. I know you could joe-job someone to frame them but in some countries you are innocent until proven guilty.
Many techies consider Real Player (Windows clients) an unfriendly application (resource intensive, invasive, and hard to remove) and avoid installing it whenever possible. Is Real aware of the poor image in regards to this? If so, what steps are they taking to fix the problem.
I ran into a similar flaw with Tiny Firewall (or was it Zone Alarm?).
The FW app would pop-up automatically to ask the user if they wanted to allow certain traffic the first time it occured. The problem I found was that there didn't have to be a user logged in.
This was on a co-workers machine and so of course while he was out of the office I tried to access his machine. When the FW app prompted with the pop-up, I just told it to always allow my host access to his machine.:-)
Two problems I figured:
1. The app should have never prompted when the user was not actively using the system. 2. The OS should not allow input when there isn't anyone logged in.

SEARCH TIPS 1) Check your spelling. Are the words in your query spelled correctly? 2) Try using synonyms. Maybe the site you're looking for uses slightly different words, like "film" instead of "movie". 3) Make your search more general. For example, instead of using specific product names, try using the generic product category.

I agree about Adelphia. I was stuck using them for broadband for 2 years and had countless periods of downtime. Downtime would often be for days. Tech support had a horrible wait time and never admitted to network problems.
So what did i do when I moved and I had a choice of broadband providers? Any provider but Adelphia and it will stay that way as long as I had a choice.
This was an AC post calling for control of a piece of hardware. How do we know the AC is even the real owner of the sign? Even if it is real, the sign probably crashed under the load just from/. subscribers (all 3 of them:-) ) before it was posted for the public.
Over the years I have had quite a few submissions rejected and then the editors publish something like this. eeedeeeeots!
IANAE so I am wondering if using out of phase noise cancelling approaches actually reduces the SPL on your ears.... or does it just drown out the original noise with another noise that renders them virtually silent.
Settlements like this should not be kept secret. Even more so when publicly held companies are involved... and fo damn sure when one of the companies has been found guilty of predatory practices.
Maybe MS's sentence should have included banning them from private deals and settlements.

or was it tic-tac-toe? :-)

Isn't funny how it usually comes down to the problem being some type of mismanagement but you never here about outsourcing management?

Similar to Portland's Yellow Bike Program years ago.

Don't mince words. Say what you really mean. :-)
You should be "taken to task" for using Real. :-)

What the heck is the KY for? ;-)
Go after those that are selling the products using SPAM.
Yeah, yeah I know someone will go around framing people. Oh well
Do you really think this is the place to ask that question?
I am sure there is going to be a list of better sites to find your answer.
Obviously you do not have much experience with a Tivo.
A Tivo is a refined appliance for joe consumer. A PC solution is not.

I follow your reasoning...basing off of an old Farside cartoon

I have a beef with Al's Glass so I go throw bricks through a bunch of windows that say "Brick thrown through your window? Call Al's Glass."
I do think something needs to be done and I think spammers and the clients should be help accountable.
Why aren't the companies that sell the products being punished?
They should be much easier to track down and they are the ones hiring companies to do the naughty work for them.

Don't expect *any* privacy unless explicitly stated somewhere exactly what information will remain private. Even then, policies can change.
What it really comes down to is that you do not have much control over data about your or created about you unless you are the keeper of the data.
Once data is transmitted somewhere it is probably logged, stored, and copied.
Did I miss the actual study with actual data? I only saw the one page executive report.
Pretty flimsy but probably true.

"luckily his website [cliffordross.com] doesnt have a 2.6 gigabyte image file...slashdot crowd + 2.6gb file = *shudder* "
Shudder! LOL. I get it.
