Ahum, I2C is not from Intel, it's Philips.
And I2C complex? Have you ever used it? And I wouldn't know where to start
comparing it to PCI. ;-)

Or Itanic for that matter...

I2C (or TWI if you're trying to avoid an IP battle with Philips) _is_
quite a bit more complex than SPI. But SPI takes a minimum of four
signals (MOSI, MISO, SCLK, and one select line per slave), whereas I2C
takes just two.

Dallas OneWire is more complex still...

I think he meant I2S, which AFAICR an intel thing.

Inter-IC Sound? That's Philips too, AFAIK.

Or is there yet something else?

There was some sort of Intelligent I/O system that intel did a while
ago. I am not sure if it is being used in anything.
I have just googled and it is called I2O. The i960 was targeted for
this application.

Everyone has some sort of webhost you can report spam to and
they'll slap the organization (most webhost will drop a customer for
repeated spamming), but it appears eetimes does its own hosting.
Everyone pays someone for bandwidth to connect to others, but it
appears these clowns connect through qwest.net, which I recall from
years ago as being uu.net, notorious for ignoring spam complaints
about the people they sell bandwidth to. So that method doesn't look
like it would do anything in this case.

What exactly does one have to do to get out of CMP's clutches? Your
unsubscribe systems are obviously fraudulent - I have unsubscribed from
your junkmail DOZENS of times and yet it continues to flow. I have even

Here's an idea, generate a new, 'virgin' account and 'ubsubscribe'
it, and see how long it takes for the spam to show up. I see you have
gmail, you can do your own invites.

started to get junkmail from you at an email address that has never
been used to subscribe to any of your worthless advertising
circulars... I mean, "valuable industry publications".

I want to get my name out of your database permanently; I never want to
receive another communication from your spam foundries. HOW DO I
ACHIEVE THIS?

Read up on the CAN SPAM act, while it doesn't slow down the
intentionally criminal spammers, perhaps there's something in it that
will stop such a "mainslease" spammer. It may get their attention if a
government official notifies them that they're violating federal law
(IIRC CAN SPAM requires a WORKING 'remove' mechanism).

The way I do it is with E-mail forwarding from my website.

EACH magazine/whatever gets its/his/her own personalized E-mail
address.

When I unsubscribe, as I did recently from Electronic Products, I give
them a week to actually do their unsubscribe thing.

When Electronic Products didn't, I simply removed EPMag@... from my
accepted list.

Since only personalized addresses are forwarded, I haven't received
any true blanket spams in probably a year.

My unused dummy account name at Cox has collected 2014 spams since
November 9, and they claim they protect me from spam ;-)
