Face it, the types of emails that you want to opt out from are exactly the ones that do not honor opt-out lists.
Remember when you first tried to ride a bike and your dad pushed you so hard that you fell over and skinned your knees and bloodied your nose? This is like taking that swing at him that you always wanted to. Unfortunately at that age, no matter what you do, he wasn't ever affected by your little attacks and rants.
The death of Napster wasn't the end of filesharing 10 years ago. The elimination of TPB won't be the end of filesharing today.
What it does change, I hope, is the smugness of people like TPB folks who act like spoiled children when confronted by legal action.
Filesharing is an important outgrowth of the Internet, not just for the illegal download aspect, but also for the perfectly legal transfer of software like Linux distros. Assholes who make a big spectacle of how they are skirting the law just make it harder for legal filesharers to do our work.
I suppose it was just a matter of time before someone tried to imply Macs as the victim of a virus attack.
The fact of the matter is that the Max OS (BSD, doncha know) has very strict user permission levels. This gives it a strong protection mechanism against unwanted programs running without the user knowing.
Essentially, this makes it impervious to viruses. Even trojans are thwarted because smart users (Mac users) don't execute programs they don't know the origin of.
OJ was able to get off because he hired an incredibly talented set of lawyers.
It makes sense that those with a lot of money would hire the best lawyers. Now that Obama chooses the cream of the crop, suddenly these guys are somehow no good?
While much has been made of Google's amazing ability to make money with online advertisements, the cracks in the dike are beginning to leak.
Youtube is only the first domino in Google's house of cards. As Google increases server-side requirements to support their growing portfolio of online products, they will reach a point where advertising simply won't be profitable anymore. Youtube with its heavy server-side requirements (even running on lighttpd!) just isn't cost effective considering the number of pages they need to serve and the direct links to media they provide.
As someone who likes services that are free, I will mourn the loss of advertiser-paid services, but in terms of the viability of the web this day was inevitable.

fat colored?
Beige?
Well, as Time's Person of the Year 2006, I would like to just say that the percentage of GDP coming my way has been woefully below my expectations.
And thus with the outing of the last respected Slashdot community luminary as a LARPer, Slashdot began its quick plunge into irrelevance.
How do you kill that which has no life?

Trazilians, you mean, surely.
That's a lot of pirates.
Are you angling for BadAnalogyGuy's job?
What I do isn't a job.
It's an adventure.
Yes. It sure is ironic that they would move "weeds" somewhere that weed is legal.
It's like rain on your wedding day. Or a free ride when you're already late.

Good riddance to TPB, and long live filesharing!
The only black hats who would be interested in this type of work are script kiddies looking for a legal outlet for their elite skills.
But if these kids are the experts, who is going to develop the hacking tools?
Comic Sans itself isn't a bad font. It is easily readable, and more than anything else, that is the best measure of a font.
Just because it is so popular people hate it. It's like people hating on pop stars, Windows, and Kraft Parmesan cheese.
Popular doesn't mean bad. On the contrary, it means it fits the needs of many people.
And sometimes heroes get arrested and thrown in jail for obstructing justice.
Maybe it's not the heaving of breasts that is so attractive about women. Perhaps it's something more primal, more core.
Watching the lungs inflate and deflate rhythmically makes me feel all funny inside.
Like I want to retch.
IE is "most browsers", if you want to think about it that way.

It's just you.
I like side scrolling and searching for graphics.
It's like a game!

Next year could very well be the Year of Linux on the Desktop.
All these people with their outdated Microsoft training. Whatever will they do?
You saw the gift exchange between Obama and Gordon Brown, I expect.
Suffice it to say, Obama is just a sucky gifter.

Yes it's very similar to what Google does.
How can it be that everyone has a greater than 3.0 GPA?
I mean, I benefited from grade inflation in college, but it never pulled me over 3.0...
As long as you turn off disasters, beamed solar energy is actually a fairly cost effective power solution.
