Dear Mr Fleury stop spamming us

Unfortunately JBossGroup thinks none of the rules that applies to every enterpise applies to them. Its a minimum courtesy to have a link to "remove me" in news letters and marketing junk. Here is the latest mail sent by Marc F to what ever list he maintains:

Hello,

Just a quick one to cover August.

August was a great month for JBG, our best so far with record sales and
booming business. We will unveil the service partnership program soon.
On an interesting bit of news, JBoss made it #2 on the Computer Reseller
News as 'fastest growing certification in importance for large SI's'.

If you are in Europe and back from holiday, you may want to register for
the Stockholm training on September 8 (that is next week). Also let me
draw you attention to the OCT bootcamp in Amsterdam, you don't want to
miss that one. That is Oct 12.

Finally, there a number of events coming up where you can catch us.

s
You can catch Scott at the Web Services Edge West on Oct 1 and me in
Paris for the XML day on Oct 7, before the bootcamp on Oct 12, did we
say it was in Amsterdam?

All information is on our website at www.jboss.org and
www.jbossgroup.com

Regards

Mark, next time u send your crap to us please provide a remove me link.

After publishing this on my blog, Fleury woke up and sent a mail to jboss-news with the subject "How to unsubscribe + quickie". Here are the full contents of his Email:

Folks,

Just a quickie to remind you that if you want to unsubscribe from this
list there should be directions at the bottom. We finally fixed the
port issues so you can unsubscribe by clicking below.

We just reconciled the lists and there are 40,000 entires on the list.
That is quite a bit of you that have subscribed to jboss-news. I am
looking forward to this out-reach mass channel as communication is
king.

Another quickie, we finished the services partners contracts and we
hope
to release soon. I also want to remind the europeans that we will be
in
amsterdam for bootcamp on Oct 11-12, you don't want to miss it,
register
soon.

Let me know if you encounter problems in the unsubscribe for those of
you going offline, we recently fixed a glitch that pointed to 8080
instead of the main port 80. It should work, let me know if it
doesn't.


Kind regards

marcf

Hubble's Close Encounter with Mars

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took this close-up of the red planet Mars when it was just 34,648,840 miles (55,760,220 km) away. This color image was assembled from a series of exposures taken between 6:20 p.m. and 7:12 p.m. EDT Aug. 26 with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The picture was taken just 11 hours before the planet made its closest approach to Earth in 60,000 years.

Overture Ad @ Google Ads?

While reading Google Weblog, I noticed that Overture Ad is listed as part of Google Ads.

Sun to blast off Gemini in 2004

The Register has an interesting article about Gemini.
Sun says Gemini will perform about 3 times better than current 1.0GHz UltraSPARC IIIi chips. The successor to Gemini - Niagara - will arrive in 2005 with a 15X performance boost over current chips.

Mark your Calendars for Aug 27th

Mars Closest To Earth in 50,000 Years

Never again in our lifetimes will the Red Planet be so spectacular.

This month and next Earth is catching up with Mars, an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the last 5,000 years but it may be as long as 60,000 years. The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August Mars will rise in the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. But by the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 a.m. That's pretty convenient when it comes to seeing something that no human has seen in recordedhistory.

So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.

I will be getting a new Telescope for better view.
