"Let me get this straight. Obama, the man of the people, has a Dept. of Justice"...
No. The President does not "have a" Department of Justice. They are two of three distinct autonomous branches of government. I'm not saying Obama is without influence but don't conflate the judicial and executive branches or assert that they are controlled by a single individual.
but is it as strong as transparent aluminum?
What happens if you try to purchase a new Blu-Ray player at Best Buy with cash?
That's a lot of 14 year olds...
This fails the spam smell test on many grounds, but mostly she already had an existing business relationship with the institution for which the email recipients were destined for.
I realize this is more about University policy than anything else, but for them to call it spam doesn't seem factually correct.
I refuse to purchase DRM-infected games, video or music. Period. Problem solved for me.
I wonder if I'm the only one who's sick of seeing the "I'm a PC" ads on the BART stations here in SF?
It wouldn't be so bad if there were just a few posters or ads here and there, but at some of the stations (e.g., Montgomery) it seems Microsoft took a scorched earth approach with their advertising budget and went totally nuts plastering them at about every conceivable square inch eyeballs could possibly scan on the concourse level.
I am tempted to invest in a handful of Linux/TUX stickers and plaster them over the ads but I don't want to be arrested for vandalism either
You live in a bad neighborhood. The local Dominos Pizza, their delivery drivers having been robbed numerous times when making deliveries in your area, have decided to effect a boycott of your neighborhood. They now refuse to drive down your street because your neighborhood is too dangerous.
Is it Dominos Pizza's fault that you share a neighborhood with scum and malevolent ilk?
It might not perfectly mirror the "sharing a network" analogy, but please don't complain about the poor widdle innocent third parties
These alleged innocents have chosen to NOT perform any diligence on the NSP that will be their upstream. These innocents have chosen to engage in business transactions with, and give money to organizations that finance or support criminal operations. Anyone helping the spammers are just as guilty as the spammers. Even more odd are the network providers that use their legit customers as human shields against the spammers. Obviously they have decided the income they make from the spam operations are more important than their legit customers.
Why does everyone insist on treating the internet like it's a public resource? The Internet is a collection of private networks (and private property). Peering operates through cooperation and agreements to play by the rules.
Place the blame exactly where it belongs with a caveat emptor to boot.
There has never been a time in my life when some person of supposed authority have made any attempt to force me to delete photographs from my digital camera. Perhaps I am just not taking photos of important things. But should that happen I might gleefully comply if I didn't want to make a big deal about it.
Many digital cameras use VFAT filesystems which means their contents can be recovered. The utility of my personal choice is photorec(1). The photorec utility runs quite well on Linux. Just use
Photorec is written by Christophe GRENIER (no, I am not he) and can be found at:
Google immediately responded to this by denying ingress TCP packets from all Italian netblocks and redirecting google.it and google.co.it to goatse.cx.
Just kidding, but it would be funny.
