Let's put it this way..Does SPAM bug you enough to quit using email all together?? Hell no, you just use filters or other software to make it manageable. Which is exactly what the spammers will do to the blue frog folks. The opt-out emails will not be enoguh to make the spammers quit sending SPAM. They won't quit spamming, they will just adjust how they do it. The only way SPAM will stop is when not a single person on the planet buys whatever it is they are selling. Don't hold your breath for SPAM to end (there is no shortage of idiot consumers on the planet), just learn better techniques so it doesn't affect you.
Which would be great IF the spammers stop sending messages. But according to the article, it is actually increasing the number the send out, and increasing the messages the spamees send out. I really don't think this is "the solution to end all SPAM" - but I am more than willing to let others get bombarded to find out..
I have been using Gmail for a year and a half and not a single SPAM has made it through their filters to my Inbox. I get probably 2-3 SPAM messages a day - all filtered into the SPAM box. Haven't used Yahoo in a while (2 years) but used to get SPAM on that account all the time...
Baked beans are off today...
Isn't the real problem with SPAM (other than it's annoyance factor) that tons of emails are going across networks and hogging bandwidth?? So how will creating even more messages help this?? Someone explain please...
"Future wars will not be faught by giant robots or ultra-enhanced bionic soldiers or UAVs. They will be faught by fleets of artificial insects with collaborative AI."

But when are they going to build a device to control Keith Richards http://www.keithrichards.com/ so we can remote control both species that will survive the nuclear holocaust????
Your grandma also spent a lot more than $150 on that system - probably closer to $3000...I think the whole point of this machine is to get the more rural areas in China to be able to connect to the internet - so that is what purpose they likely designed it around.
Bands/artists make most of their money from touring and merchandise sales - even the best selling artists only make about 8 - 12% of the net from album sales. Then split that between the band members - in a 4 piece band each member would get 2-3% each. The record company makes a much smaller percentage out of the live perfromance ticket prices, and a very small percent of the merchandise sales. That is why most artists don't care about the sharing of their music - they know it will encourage people to come to the live shows if they like it...(and spend $$ on merch too hopefully) So if you really want to support a band see them live and buy stuff. 1 t-shirt sale is as much profit to the band as selling 5 CDs...
Nah, Celene is already doing 3 shows a night in Las Vegas to pay off her husband/managers gambling debts...The built her a auditorium just for that purpose..
I still maintain that she was an early attempt at cloning/genetic engineering that went very, very wrong and somehow escaped the lab...
Or you could actually read the f-ing article and find that it actually says:
"You can use Add or Remove Programs to view Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications, but you cannot use Add or Remove Programs to remove the notifications.
You can temporarily disable Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications. To do this, right-click the Notifier icon in the notification area and select Change Notifications Settings. Then, follow the prompts. This will disable the Notification Prompts until a new release of the Notification Update is released."
Notice the first sentence where it cleary states you cannot use Add/Remove to get rid of notifications....

Bah - Linux is a packaged OS. Real hackers write their own OS from scratch.
So is Apple the shit sandwich or the giant douche?? Can somebody help me on this one??

Edited movies, no "adult content", and masssive contibutions to right-wing organizations.

Yeah but just remember that 47% of all statistics* are made up...
*not actual statistic

"What if you want to store lots of MP3s, run a small web server, do software development, play movies, etc.?"
Then you are not a rural Chinese farmer trying to buy a "first computer" and this isn't the machine for you...
Hey, they gotta do something with that warehouse full of Speak 'n Spells....
