I don't text and drive any more, now that I have my Blackberry it's emailing and driving from now on.

Or 2599 kelvin

Or the heat from burning 2 library's on congress.

Anyone know what it is in elephants ?

Meanwhile on COROT-7b scientists find a new planet so cold that water would actually create "oceans" on the surface , and even freeze at the poles.

They laugh at the though ever existing on that planet.

The case needs to be retried , so a great win for the lawyers on both sides.

Make sure you bury one barrel of oil with it.

It won't help you with the message, but should pay for 4 years at a moderately priced college.

Put everything in a cheap MP4 player.

If you are lucky some form of USB will still exist , and you can save off the date. If not you can play it on the player.

Make sure you include an AC charger , just in case.

Your post advocates a

( ) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante (x) charitable

approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)

( ) Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses
(x) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected
(x) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks
( ) It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it
(x) Users of email will not put up with it
( ) Microsoft will not put up with it
( ) The police will not put up with it
(x) Requires too much cooperation from spammers
(x) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
( ) Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers
( ) Spammers don't care about invalid addresses in their lists
( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business

Specifically, your plan fails to account for

( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it
(x) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email
(x) Open relays in foreign countries
( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses
( ) Asshats
( ) Jurisdictional problems
(x) Unpopularity of weird new taxes
( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money
( ) Huge existing software investment in SMTP
( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack
(x) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email
(x) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes
( ) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches
(x) Extreme profitability of spam
( ) Joe jobs and/or identity theft
( ) Technically illiterate politicians
( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers
(X) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves
( ) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering
( ) Outlook

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:

( X ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical
( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable
( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation
( ) Blacklists suck
( ) Whitelists suck
( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored
( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud
( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks
( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually
(x) Sending email should be free
( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses
( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
( ) Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome
( ) I don't want the government reading my email
(X) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(X) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
(X) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!

So your saying buy tinned foods and shotguns ?

It would be 1984 they do this to. To quote Bart Simpson "The ironing is delicious".

See, I tried to warn everyone about Gore's new world order , but no one would listen.

It was all oil , bush , climate change and look how you all ended up.

Exactly , the Compuserve clients released by AOL were just re-branded version of the AOL software.

Started with AOL 4.0 if i remember correctly.

Sounds like they have the same status as the floppy disc did 15 years ago.

No , the ships need to be out or range of the coast before their turn their cell tower on.

Once you are still close enough to pick up any network they don't have it on.
