No, you'll get pr0n ads when you open a pr0n mail, you'll get anti-AIDS medicine (oxymoron) ads when you open an email about AIDS. You'll get Viagra ads when you open spam.
At least, I think it would be a very bad idea and an invasion of privacy if the ad selection code were to remember what kind of emails you have received and were to show ads relevant to that, instead of what's on the current page.
Some people will continue to offer trade propositions for several minutes before giving up.
If you feel players are abusing the limitless amount of trade propositions they can make, tell them to hurry up, and in extreme cases start boycotting them. That'll teach 'em.
You mean you ran a local bnetd server. bnetd is NOT Battle.net, it is a replacement program. Also, I don't think the decompilation law applies here, since, unless you've signed some sort of special agreement with Blizzard, you don't have access to the Battle.net binaries at all.
Right. I hereby challenge you to feed the unwashed masses that consider MSIE's implementations of HTML and CSS to be correct, instead of the standards based implementations seen in other browsers.
If Firefox were made by Microsoft or some other company, they'd have called the 0.8 version at least 4.0. (Besides, it's based on Mozilla, which has been > 1.0 for ages now.)
Commercial companies and open source projects have very different version numbering schemes. Version 1.0 of Commercial Program X is much more likely to be buggy crap than a similar program, Version 1.0 of Open Source Program Y.

Isn't this one of those cases where KaZaA or another P2P app (e.g. BitTorrent) would be useful to demonstrate the non-infringing uses of those applications?

Why do you assume it was a flame? It just occurred to me that this problem is one that can be solved from a distance, quicker, if both parties just have a little patience.
PHB: My computer doesn't start! You: What happens? PHB: There's some text on the screen, but no Windows. You: What does the text say? PHB: PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK You: Okay, press the button on the disk drive on the front of the computer, remove the floppy disk, then hit CTRL-ALT-DEL.
If you really had to drive to work for that, either you haven't had this problem yourself, or your colleagues aren't willing to tell you what you need to know to do your job.
Just about every ISP has a No Abuse clause in their TOS, which included a prohibition on sending viruses. Also, the subscriber is responsible for every byte that is sent via his/her account.
IANAL, but it seems to me that this adds up to the ISP having a very good chance to not lose such a lawsuit.
Actually, eliminating spam would increase the usefulness of email tremendously. It also happens to have an ideological component, since spammers are scammers and should not make money from their crimes and lies, but it is debatable whether that is essential to the issue.
Slashdot Mirror
I remember someone having made a webpage reporting on doing exactly that a while ago. Back when SCO started asking for $699 or somewhere thereabouts.
:-)
But it would be amusing if many people did this
Oh, and the other post in this thread, that they took Microsoft's money, is also very very good!

Much of your email is already being analyzed. To detect spam and/or viruses.
No, that would imply that you could search for mail.
If Google were to link to Google Mail, the link would appear somewhere else on the page.
Bite my shiny analog ass! ;-)

Actually, GW has a whole range of LOTR miniatures out at the moment. My brother is going gaga over them as I write this.
Me, I'm still disappointed that there were not Space Orks in Starcraft. Maybe in Starcraft II. A man can dream though, a man can dream...
Yes, that made me go "hmm" as well. Siege Engine, eh?

Yes, I'm sure the builders of the Pentagon were buried in its basements after their tongues got cut out.

Actually, I didn't RTFA, or the PDF, so I didn't really know what it was about ;-)
Indeed. Hyperventilation is rarely a good thing.

Really? My Debian system practically maintains itself.
Perhaps you're overgeneralizing when you say computers?
Remember: all generalizations are bad.
Two words: boot dual (in alphabetical order).
I get spam composed of random words that makes more sense than that.

It's irony. Like bronzy and goldy, but made of iron.
