$1 Streams: Get It While It's Hot. A Taiwan firm is offering streams of popular movies for just $1, in apparent direct defiance of all kinds of rules and regulations. By Noah Shachtman.

Is it legal or not? Get them here. By the way, is not only movies, there have TV series too.

Net surfers set out to squelch spam. Ordinary Web surfers, armed with simple desktop filters, are taking up the call to battle junk e-mail. Not that any of their efforts will help.

I would like to take this fight either to the desktop or in the mail server. How about this? You have a white list of emails from which you accept any message. You also accept any first message from anyone, but with the question: "Do you want to keep accepting emails from this person?" If you say "No" it gets Blacklisted if you say "Yes" it gets Whitelisted. Is there any software that does this?

Another idea is not to accept emails, except from real emails. Here it is, when the mail server receives an non Whitelisted email, it sends a message back ("Do you really exists?"), if that bounces, the original message gets deleted. If not, then it gets to the intended recipient. This will make the first emails slower, but will make further comunication faster, since there would be less Spam in your inbox.

Let me know if any of this exists, or is easy to implement. I, kind of, implemented the second idea through the use of lists, but it isn't perfect.

[Macro error: The server, 127.0.0.1, returned error code 7: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "myFavoriteWeblogs" hasn't been defined.]

No longer an error! as you can see...I had Gremling problems (plus I had not selected my favorites sites, but that was easy to fix...)

Mind bomb: DIY Web Services with Radio 8. "Come with me on a little trip, and at the end not only will you know what Web Services are, you will have written a couple, and even better your mind will be exploding with new ideas of what Web Services can do for all of us to build a better Internet.ä  [Scripting News]

I tried DIY Web Services and failed, I only get Macro errors saying I didn't define something... I wonder how could I've done something wrong in the proccess of cutting and pasting... There must be something I don't understand (there usually is).
