Comment I have the same problem. (Score 1) 265

One guy lives in Utah, another goes to Colorado University, another lives in Southern California, and there are a few more. I regularly get emails for these guys regarding classes, vehicles, rental properties, etc. I also get signed up for lots of spam and unwanted porn crud. I did create a label and look through it from time to time to make sure there isn't anything meant for me. I think the best solution is to create a new email address that is somewhat unique and forward the old one to it until the people you want email from know it. Also, I would never get rid of the old address. You never know what online account you barely use that you forgot to change over.

Just tell them no. Do you think they will be able to pay for repairs if they can not afford their own? One simple drop and you may not only have a broken laptop, but, unless you have an SSD, you also probably just lost all of your data. Even if they can afford to replace your laptop, they will not be able to replace your hard work.

My two cents and I expect change...

Journal Journal: Karma/moderation bombed

Well, it appears that some of my posts (informative and attempts at humor) are being bombed by...well who knows. I guess moderators suck these days. This is my one and only account and it may be beyond repair as far as Karma goes. It seems people are even going to my older comments and marking them down out of malice. At least Slashdot is not like Digg, but I may indeed cease to read it also.

My most recent comment was to help somebody understand who Strong Bad is:

Submission + - NBC Activates Broadcast Flag (arstechnica.com)

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes: "NBC activated the 'broadcast flag' on a number of shows this week, ranging from American Gladiator to Medium, which prevented compliant programs like Windows Media Center from recording them. The matter is being 'looked into', but that doesn't tell us whether it was an accident or a ploy to see how outraged viewers would be at being stripped of the time-shifting rights they've enjoyed ever since Sony v. Universal. Just in case it's the latter, it wouldn't hurt to let them know what you think."

Journal Journal: Politics...

Tonight I realized that as with all things people have their own opinions which do not necessarily agree with yours even though they may agree with you on many others. I am tired of people who do not support their current administration. Are you proud to be an American? Now all the want to be hippies, who were not even alive during the original "hippy era", are saying outrageous things and ignoring the cold hard facts. People are being slowly and savagely beheaded on an almost weekly basis.
