I went up to him, told him my name, and asked what happened to his leg. ......

I have two years left to get my bachelors degree in Computer Science and now I'm serious ......

So we've had a national do not call list for a while now. It seems to work pretty well too. The annoying telemarketers get farther and farther between, and you get rid of those exasperating calls. So if we've done this, why can't we have a Do not spam list? It could be a giant list of e-mails that say, you better not e-mail us, or you're going to be ......

I was looking for a network packet analyzer today so that I could see what's going through the network here. I figured I would only find software packages that cost a couple 100 dollars and I might find a couple off the wall minimal freeware packages. However, I was taken by surprise. WireShark is an amazing little application that completely open source! ......
