Dude, in *my* reality, based on 12 years plus being on-line, several of those being abuse@ for a uni, spam is Unsolicited Commercial Email as well as Unsolicited Bulk Email. The email in question is pretty undisputable UCE. Is this just more proof that CAN-SPAM is completely fucked-up?
The guy did not 'break into' anything - he dumped passwords as they flowed through HIS tor exit node. Tor obfuscates the origin, it does not encrypt the traffic for you. The summary is very, very wrong.
"The British government was advised against publicly criticising a report estimating that 655,000 Iraqis had died due to the war, the BBC has learnt... the Ministry of Defence's chief scientific adviser said the survey's methods were "close to best practice" and the study design was "robust"." -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6495753.stm
The government always moans about the BBC, whatever the current flavour of government. The Tories moaned, now Labour are moaning. The BBC is obviously doing their job reasonably well.
Do you have any idea how much work it is for me to change my homepage to search.yahoo.co.uk? Hundreds of thousands of pounds of effort, and just think of the training needed to use a different search engine.
Huh? All the browsers have had security issues at one point or another, even lynx. Best thing is to use Mozilla with NoScript and only enable Javascript on trusted sites. If you have to use IE, use IE 7.
The Iranians will give money and guns to anyone fighting the Americans and/or the current Iraqi government.
Bollocks. There's a fucking civil war going on in Iraq where Sunni groups are killing Shiites - and vice versa. Why the fuck would Iran want to fund the killing of Shiites?
See http://www.cfr.org/publication/9362/#4 - "Some reports also suggest that Iran's interference in Iraq has included funding, safe transit, and arms to insurgent leaders like Muqtada al-Sadr and his forces", and also says Iran funds/has funded Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas. I haven't seen anyone credible claiming they are directly funding Al Qaida. Please note all the groups above are Shiite.
Yes, and the DoJ's remedy was not worth the paper it was printed on - handed out after Bush had been elected. Please don't go pretending that effective action was taken against Microsoft, or that the post-Bush DOJ didn't cave in when it came to it.

If only there were some way to look up past decisions, such as a web page which might return a list of results, when presented with a query.
Yes - the EU fines lots of companies regardless of where they're based. Just because the DOJ has no bollocks, doesn't mean everyone else has to roll over for big companies.

I don't know... if I could purchase a Star-Trek style phaser, or maybe some ICBM nukes I wouldn't mind them tying to AT&T.
I mean, I could always crater their HQ if I was dissatisfied with their customer service.

A Shia country sponsoring a Sunni terrorist organisation? Really?

OK, how do I request a major bug?

If people can make Nam Prik Pao then the terrorists have won! Won't someone please think of the tastebuds!!?!
A recent attempt to add subsection "3.i That means you as well, Bush" was vetoed by one of the permanent members of the security council.
That's a feature, not a bug.
