I did the same 2 years ago. It had issues and crashed quite a few times (when using a USB stick). For the rest I am not such a fan of the speach recognition (too slow imo).

If you RTFS: Yes they do. Secondly, the unsubscribe button is following the unsubscribe link in the List-Unsubscribe- header so one can see that as a poor mans FBL.

Some people want to receive invoices, newsletters, package delivery notifications and other automated messages. So captcha would not really work nice.

Customers are stupid so we automated that for them: NO recipient who has pushed the FBL button will receive email. Ever. Again. From this specific customer, that is (unless your hobby is pushing the spam button).

Because customers complain or because your monitoring alerted you.

You mean that they can't get something simple right? ;-). About their service: In my world where we prefer 2 minutes downtime over 8 hours, I need hot spares anyway so buying extra guarantees is not of this time anymore.

Same way we get young men interested interested in the cosmetics industry?

So we fitted our company with a few racks of R310 Dell servers a couple of years ago. But they are too expensive on memory so we took the effort to put it in by hand. Now, two years later, some motherboards are failing and we cannot get a motherboard at a normal price. Why again are we buying Dell? They are not cheap by any metric. I might as well buy something like Supermicro for less (and I don't have to spend time doing stuff by hand).

And I don't even mention the bad **** sata controllers that don't work with SSDs (buffer underruns which hose mdraid). Oh wait, I did now. And the bad network cards that kept freezing Linux' kernel (when we bought some intel nics the frozen kernels were history). And don't think you will get support for anything past failing harddrives (and we replaced 20% of those too but I think we cannot blame Dell for that).

I am no expert but some people say it was about 40k in 2005 (not counting pedestrians etc). That is a 9/11 per month. Rage war on that.

I prefer a different headline... So finally after nearly 20 years, Microsoft can win (on one of many benchmarks) from a bunch of amateurs ;-).

The roads in the US are worse than in eastern Europe, just like any other part of infrastructure for public use in there. If you want to experience smooth roads go to the Netherlands.

People used to protest in the Netherlands until they found out that their asses were kicked every time by the cops AND noone listens. Politicians are killing their own society by not listening to anyone.

Gatso is Dutch, says their homepage. And everybody hates them because speed is not unsafe per se, see airoplanes as an example.

I am more concerned about abuse of power, cops, with these kind of options.

Those with LCD displays or with those old CRT tubes?

You can delete a new account. For an existing account: Just can always mail the abuse@ department that something is wrong and you should not receive emails again.

I also have a very generic @gmail.com account and regularly receive the weirdest mails. If they are not spam I try to correct the situation. People make mistakes, up to 15% when writing their email address down (and I know because I work at an ESP).
