Never do a full bounce, only send headers. Drop the body. Sending full bounces you get listed (rightfully so).

"It looks like you are appointing the ISP as the police. But are they?"

No, not it is their property (ip adresses, bandwidth) customers are using. They own it, they make the rules, don't like the rules: move.

"Is it really their responsibility to assure that their customers are operating to the standards that YOU define?"

It is their responsibility to make sure the bad customers aren't interfering with the others.

"When you don't want to receive spam, filter it. Don't choose an arbitrary target other than the sender of the spam and start harassing them."

To my knowledge this is what UCE does, there a couple of levels of blacklisting. At first the 1 ipadress sending spam is listed, as a last resort the AS is listed.

Bullshit, only stuff that has to be stored (for 6 months) from email transactions is:
-envelope from
-from ip adress
-rcpt to
-date

Which are all logged in most MTA by default. Nothing from after the DATA command has to be stored. At least till there is a lawful interception ordered by a judge.

It is still a bad idea to have to log this, but it nearly has no intelligence value.

This message was brought to you by People's Party for Freedom and Democracy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Party_for_Freedom_and_Democracy

Main force behind these kind of laws/proposals are always the parties that have Freedom (to limit others) in their name (we have a couple of them) or from a Christian background (we know that is good for you plebs).

They are on the B Ark and don't even know it.

But they didn't have a super computer at the "dark side" of the moon, even a cellphone was super compared to the thing they attempted to use.

My guess is OP is hinting at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_A_Harsh_Mistress
Atleast that is what the other replies are hinting at.

"The difference between Dutch drivers' awareness of cyclists and foreigners is immense, not because they are better drivers, but because they're so used to bikes"

That is not the main reason, the real reason is that drivers know they are the ones to blame in the case of an accident between cars and cyclists. Cyclists are known for their bad, unpredictable, reckless driving. Since the cyclist is the weaker (both physical and psychological (due to a much younger age and no requirement of a license)) participant lawmakers decided to reverse the burden of proof, if a car hits a cyclist the car is always to blame.

This is how telcos in my small EU country make money:
+charge caller x/s + y setup (hard to calculate since most mobile users have bundles)
-pay the receiving telco z/s (regulated at something like: 0.00027 EUR/s fixed dest., 0.00075 EUR/s mobile dest.)
+if destination is 0800/0900 get an additional kickback fee per call from that telco
-costs of running/maintaining/replacing/expanding network
=Profit

Someone has to pay for the virtual circuit to the receiver, why should it be me? If I have to call anyone it is their fault for not having a more modern method to communicate, they should at least pay some of the burden!

There is no difference in used capacity of the network whether you are the caller or the callee. So why shouldn't both parties pay half the costs?

1-Turn on airplane mode.
2-Turn on wireless.
3-Take a look at the phone status
4-Profit

But it depends on the reason behind not wanting a cellphone radio in the first place. My guess it the radio will be on by default on a cold boot and you need to turn it of, maybe you could remove any RIL stuff from your ROM (rooted or custom ROMs). But when I go to places I don't want the radio enabled I do the above and tell Tasker to do this for me at boot just in case it restarts/reboots.

They are not looking for a match with the criminal, they are looking for any one matching. They might find family narrowing the search for the real criminal.

-you opt to install/use chrome, it doesn't come standard. I presume people read the EULA if they install software! Same goes for Firefox BTW.
-Google collects info on what you download from the Google store. Flip the checkbox to install from other sources, Google doesn't get that info. So not exactly the same as all downloads are send to OS manufacturer.

"Yep.. when you get a new 'droid....automatically reinstall...wonder how that happens."

Not much to wonder about, on Android you have to opt-in to this service.

I don't believe you, or you are just doing It wrong. It appears there are openjdk packages for Ubuntu.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java has all the info you need.
For debian it is no more than launching aptitude and selecting the openjdk jre package. I can't imaging it is harden on Ubuntu.
