  1. For Eons? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Mars Had Surface Water for Eons

    Well, that's it, then. If these features "could have formed when fluids filtered through it" (according to the article), it's time to update the science textbooks. This is all the proof I need to know that a wide variety of (and probably intelligent) lifeforms roamed the Martian surface eons ago. You know, a long, long time ago in a place far, far away.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist =)

  2. This reminds me of... by SilentReproach · · Score: 2, Funny · on Microsoft Tracking Behavior of Newsgroup Posters

    Dilbert's meeting with pointy haired boss:

    PHB: We have a gigantic database full of customer behavior information.

    DILBERT: Excellent. We can use non-linear math and data mining technology to optimize our retail channels!

    PHB: If that's the same thing as spam, we're having a good meeting here.

    See the cartoon here.

    Posting this as AC to avoid doubling up on the Karma. Sorry for the weak IIS server on a DSL connection I used on the original post. Here's a Linux box on a fatter pipe (but still slashdottable):

    1. Don't let a spammer verify your email address

    2. Don't post your email address on the internet

    3. Secure your email client

    4. Avoid common email traps

    5. Fight back

  8. Re:Preemptive methods by ryanvm · · Score: 2 · on The Spam Problem: Moving Beyond RBLs

    You are correct that the methods you list are effective at fighting spam. However, effective does not mean practical.

    For example, how does a site's webmaster (for instance - you) seperate legitimate mail from spam. Obviously because it has to be posted on the Internet, it's going to be deluged with spam. Yet it also must be read. So your failsafe rules for eliminating spam fall flat on their face.

    The real solution to spam is upgrading SMTP to require authentication before accepting mail. Booting spammers (and later, enforcing anti-spam legislation) would be a lot easier if mail headers couldn't be forged.
