Read the AUP on the web site, it make it clear that the company does not SPAM. ALL of the 350,000 email address the company send to want the marketing.
Just look at part 4 of the AUP
You may not distribute, publish, or send any of the following types of e-mail:
Unsolicited promotions, advertising or solicitations (commonly referred to as "spam"), including, without limitation, commercial advertising and informational announcements, except to those who have explicitly requested such e-mails.
Commercial promotions, advertising, solicitations, or informational announcements that contain false or misleading information in any form.
E-mails containing forged or falsified information in the header (including sender name and routing information), or any other forged or falsified information
I am having a problem finding the OPT-OUT email address.
Oh wait it is a SPAM stie.
I still have a working Kaypro II, and Kaypro16 in the back of the garage. I also found the original SNOKUG library disks with it...... Crap I am a geek..
It looks more like SCO can see the writing on the wall that they are about to get the US case thrown out of court. It appears that SCO is looking for a court that does not need evidence.
Then SCO can come back to the US and say something like "The evidence was enough to win the trial in Libya, it should be enough evidence to stand in the US."
Don't forget about the F*** *P things that the highway dept does to roads. On I-5 the highway dept keeps changing the location of lane markers on the road. What makes this so bad is that they take off the old markings by using a machine which leaves a grove 3/4 of an inch deep by 5 inches. Just enough to rip the wheels out from under the bike.
I have worked with some thermal imaging cameras. Just the heat from the day keeps enough heat to give a decent contrast, even when looking in waves in 40 degree water. Moving cars and animals REALLY stand out. The cameras I have worked with are small and lite.
I can't remember which case it was. The case dealt with child porn via email. One of the emails got stuck in a queue. The net admin opened the email to view the header info to find out why it was stuck in the queue. The admin saw the porn and turned it in to the police. The defence was that the admin was Illegal in the viewing of the email. The court found that the discovery and viewing of the email was legal because it was within the admins scope of legitimate diagnostics. The case ended with the defendant becoming inmate.
18 USC 1030 is more appropriate in this case. The spammer has no expectation of privacy on a system or network that is being illegally accessed. The admin has complete standing to monitor all trafic on his/her network.(I hope that they wrote that in their internal user agreement) With the intrusion being on an email server it falls under interstate commerce the spammer can say hello to USC 1030. Fraud and Related Activity in Connection with Computers.
Throw on theft of services etc etc.
Maybe the admin can get a conviction in a criminal case if a competent prosecutor can be found.
For the government/law enforcement to do it may be illegal with out a warrant.
For a network administrator it is completely legal to monitor networks for problems, investigate, respond and fix to the problem.
Case law supports network administrators monitoring their networks/computers. if illegal activity is found and the admin turns the evidence over to the police, the evidence is admissible in court.
I had a M-DACT which was loose in the back of a HUMMER (a real one), which was in a multi vehicle pileup. The terminal which was unmounted took flight, sheered an antenna cable off the terminal, and hit the windsheild. When we recovered the gear I powered the terminal on and it worked fine. I replaced the antenna cable and kept the unit in service.
1. Hijack a computer by installing a trojan. 2. Set time to remove/wipe trojan 2. Enable Logging on hijacked computer. 3. Do dirty deeds which are being logged to hijacked computer. 4. Trojans gets automaticly removed/Wiped, Log files remain.
Dirty Deeds get traced to Hijacked computer with logs pointing to clueless user. There are no trojan programs on the computer to act as a defense and the logs on the hijacked computer help convict innocent clueles user.
But the fact remains that Most of this runs on unhardened computers
We use our technology to maintain battlefield superiority. We can see the whole battlefield and plan our fights ahead of the battles. We can order parts and supplies in time to ensure that we keep the initiative on any battlefield.
No enemy has yet been able to take away that edge.(Yet) Staying ahead of the power curve is only because we have yet to meet an enemy who has the ability to blind us on the battlefield and take the initiative.
The fact remains that the military still needs the civilian manufactures, shippers and so fort to get the supplies to the fight in a timely manner. If the supplies need to be procured locally the supplies will be deplenished until nothing is left.
Most local gun stores do not carry 155mm rounds, 5.56link or 7.62link.
During WW2 the supplies were a week or a few months out, in Iraq the supplies were a few hours or days out. This let the battle flow with the enemy never getting the initiative. The US uses speed in battle to defeat any enemy.

It just goes to prove that America is not alone.
Australia also has the best judicial system that money can buy.

Just upgrade your operating system to windowsXP or better.
Oh wait you have linux never mind.

To show that there are no hard feelings after the virus enterd my work network, I would like to invite the virus writer to play a game of baseball.
Just show up, I'll brng the bat!!!!!!!
The redundant link to the outside has been found!
What do you think is used if a backhoe cuts the fiber!
That's not really a satellite antenna on the roof it is a " 802.11 dish "

Washington did away with the CC class licenses. Now the license is for all motorcycles.
A rider can test on a 100cc bike one day then go out an get a 1800cc bike to really get hurt on the next day.
You forgot to include that the parents or guardians learned driving the same way.
The people who are teaching the teens how to drive DON'T HAVE A CLUE how to drive.
The young drives are learning the same bad habits and techniques there parents use. The freighting thing is that both have licenses.
On the other hand at least the parents have a designated driver for the drive back from the bar.
Obviously it must not be news. I can't find the story any where on the NBC news site.

Oh Wait, "www.msnbc.msn.com" ????
I think my browser just got hijacked...
Wait my screen is flashing a message, M.S...I.S.G.O.O.D...B.U.Y..M.S...A.L.L..H.A.I.L..
Where did I put that tin foil hat??
Now I wish I had mod points

Most of the technological world does not understand what rural is. The last gas for 150 miles may not be a joke.
Of course maybe Americans are insane for commuting 150 miles to and from work a day.

Well said.
A good set of leathers is an investment.

Replace the 0 lux camera with a thermal imaging camera. The range would be the same if not greater.
Beter that 1000 spammers go free than one inocent gets harmed.
Same percentage as my inbox.
Now where did I leave my bat?

That is the great thing about our legal system; anybody can sue for any reason. What audacity for a judge to order proof that the suit has foundation.
What is the judicial system coming to if you must have a real reason to sue someone.
Nice way to DOS a printer just keep printing until it is out of ink......
"the decline in high-tech employment has slowed considerably this year"
Lets face it; the only reason that the exportation of jobs has slowed is because the pool of jobs that can be outsourced is declining.
2001 employed 20 workers outsourced 0, outsourced/fired 10
= 50% reduction of liability.
2002 employed 10 workers outsourced 10, outsourced/fired 5
= 50% decrease in outsourcing.
2003 employed 5 outsourced 15 (CEO, CFO, 2 secretaries, 1 receptionist); outsourced/fired 0
= No increase in outsourcing.
And people wonder why the economy sucks.....
The AT command would be great for this.
1. Hijack a computer by installing a trojan.
2. Set time to remove/wipe trojan
2. Enable Logging on hijacked computer.
3. Do dirty deeds which are being logged to hijacked computer.
4. Trojans gets automaticly removed/Wiped, Log files remain.
Dirty Deeds get traced to Hijacked computer with logs pointing to clueless user. There are no trojan programs on the computer to act as a defense and the logs on the hijacked computer help convict innocent clueles user.
Now I know where my recycle bin goes to after I empty it.
By the way can I have my budget presentation back that I deleted with all my music files.
I agree with you on your points.
