It was probably a tossup whether Verizon would roll whatever OnCue was to become into the Redbox brand, and then came the Redbox billing clusterf*ck, which made the decision for them.
Verizon has no need for two streaming video services.
You mean, of course, "Javascript", not "Java". NoScript is actually a better solution than the browser implementing a global Javascript switch, because one can easily use it enable Javasdcript selectively by domain.
The only state park in Manhattan, Riverbank State Park makes great use of an otherwise useless area. It's the first park in the Western hemisphere to be built on top of a residential wastewater treatment facility and its elevated address--69 feet above the Hudson River--offers its two and a half million annual visitors fabulous views from any vantage point.

MonsterHut.Com has gone into default and was bought by a vulture capitalist, Ultimate Search. Nobody involved in the spamming business that used to live there has anything to do with the present web site.
The Internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it.
ORBS was censored by a lawsuit, so, like the Hydra, four more ORBS sprouted and carry on in its place. And if they are likewise censored, more will follow.
This should be a surprise?
There is a need in today's Internet for open-relay blacklists; people on the Internet will fill that need.
I procmail-forwarded copies of all spam I received, with an explanation why prepended, to Robert Wientzen, Pres. of the DMA, for some time. I even built a Sender-envelope forger that served to defeat their own spam filtering.
Eventually, Wientzen called me and we had a series of unproductive discussions about the matter. You can forget about ever changing the DMA's mind on the subject of spam. If they ever let go of the "opt-out" advertising model, they would lose their reason for existence. They must cling to it, because it is the model they have established in the snail-mail world, and if they ever accepted the premise of "opt-in" in the e-mail world (I and I alone have the right to control my inbox.), it would threaten their position in the snail-mail world.
There is very little in this world that makes me want to advocate the use of senseless violence; the Direct Marketing Association is one of those things. Its leadership is composed of evil slugs, and in my opinion, no harm that could befall them would be too dire.
However, I suspect that we will end up being forced to boycott companies that are members of the DMA until such time as the organization embraces true verified-opt-in-only e-mail legislation. It's going to be a long and gritty process to defeat these bastards.
I don't have a problem with a flat income-tax rate, of, say 12%... as long as FICA and FUTA taxes (including employer contributions) apply to every dollar earned (including stock options), instead of having the present arbitrary cutoff.
Bingo! We can halve (or better) the FICA and FUTA rates, and Social Security would instantly be fully-funded!
... I haven't been able to load it for a couple of hours; I'd just put in an order and everything was fine, and then when I went back to check something, it was like somebody flipped a switch, and it was gone.

... as 2GHz clock speed, how much could overall power consumption be reduced by underclocking it by 50%?
If ARM isn't selling wolf tickets, that would still yield 250% of the Atom's processing power in that circumstance.
The current version of NoScript allows you to permit or deny javascript based on the fqdn.
So if I allow javascript on myblog.blogspot.com, I can continue to deny it on blogspot.com in general.
I got news for you... you can't send e-mail to any servers I administer, either.
A quick look here will tell you why.
noos.[fr|net] harbors spammers, and doesn't deserve to talk to the non-spamming parts of the Internet until it cleans up its act.

Hell, what about Apple Works/Claris Works?
I used to run it on my PC. Pretty nice little office package.

Until I heard it always runs as root, I was tempted; after all, you can always reformat the HD.
There is a SPAM-L web archive, but it's only available to registered SPAM-L members. The identical message was posted to news.admin.net-abuse.email, and is available to all.
