Exercise your right to vote by voting ME for Senate! A special election is running until 7 PM tomorrow (Thursday) night, all you have to do is log in to Blackboard and click the Vote banner at the top of the page. I hope to represent all of you as a fellow student of the College of Arts and Sciences in USF's 50th Senate.

Thanks, me
Good luck with the rest of your exam week!

That's the thing, it wasn't a list. There's a Blackboard feature that allows you to send messages to users. For some reason, whoever runs the College of Arts and Sciences org that we all automatically get put in did NOT disable us from sending messages to EVERYONE.

Firefox is at 1 GB and climbing (RAM), there are over 10k students in CAS :Q

[Leros]

So you abused the email system for your campaign. Doesn't that disqualify you?

 

[Red Squirrel]

That can't be any worse then some dumbass who sent an email to all employees of the entire top level corporation and CCed her boss asking for a day off.

Yeah, I've seen it happen where I work. Multiple times.

You didn't even put your name on the email. You may just be brainless enough for government. Also, I really strongly doubt that it's handled client-side - your browser is not responsible for anything more than an HTTP POST (or something slightly more complex because Blackboard sucks). That 1GB of memory is all of those Redtube videos you're loading in other tabs.

We?ve got well over 100,000 mailboxes in our email infrastructure, and at times it can become rather cumbersome to manage all these. One of the developers in our Internal Technologies Group (also known as ITG, basically the MIS department at Microsoft) was working on a new tool to manage communications with the various employees at Microsoft, and as a part of this tool, he created several distribution lists. Each distribution list had about a quarter of the mailboxes in the company on it (so there were about 13,000 mailboxes on each list).

WTF....? Math?

Actually, I prefer Tube8. And yes, Blackboard sucks ass. I did put my name in there, I wrote me for ATOT...

The message went out to 17,363 people. Sadly, Blackboard didn't send it through to Google Apps, it's only in people's Blackboard inboxes, which nobody checks anyways.

Is there any way to mine e-mail addresses from a page?

You gave your name to 17,300 people at school, but not to us? I'm hurt :'^(
