Walling off Asian E-mail to Prevent Spam
SomeoneYouDontKnow writes: "Seems there's been lots of spam news lately. This piece from Wired describes how frustrated sysadmins in the West are responding to a torrent of Asian spam by simply refusing all e-mail from that part of the world. As anyone who's ever reported spam to Asian ISPs can attest, getting a response of any kind is almost impossible, so some ISPs are simply giving up on receiving any mail from them. Setting up barriers like this is regrettable, but when the originating ISPs refuse to take responsibility for the actions of their users or close their open mail servers, there would seem to be no other choice. Has anyone ever had any kind of constructive conversation with one of these ISPs to see why they are unable or unwilling to do anything?"
Nope!
Here is wishing you a safe and sane Negro Month.
Remember: February is Negro Month.
English is universal language of technology, it used to be German (once upon a time), but no more... Sooooo... E N G L I S H.

Cum Chin Ho.
"I give you the respect. All you relay belong to us..."
I bet this (the parent) gets modded to flame-bait or trolling, but I have to agree.
Not all that long ago, I often saw news on Slashdot before any of the "mainstream" news entities online. Lately, it's been the other way around.

You shouldn't verb words.
Hey, don't fuck with RoadRunner. Some of us have our shit set up right!
...more xenophobia on /. ?
perhaps North Americans have a superiority complex, replacing economic bludgeons with the culture they lack.
perhaps they should get out of their basements
once a life.
Nah, we just hate France. We like Canada, Germany, Taiwan, England, Mongolia, Tuva, Spain, Argentina, Columbia, FSU, Turkey, Pakastan, and lots and lots of other countries. We just don't like France. See?
Pretty much everything I believe in is illegal in France

I've also known too many French people.

If were God (and we allllllllll know how 'ricans believe in God ahahahahahahahahah), I would have send napalm on US people without asking myself who I'm killing... I would have do the same as 'ricans army men : rape childrens and women and kill them after.
Stop talking about past... I'm not deGaulle, I don't live in the past... I don't know where you from, but I think your country did absolutly idiot things in his history and I'm sure it continues to do some nowadays.
Yes... Vietnam... No need to bring up what the French did there to exacerbate the problems...
It was that fucker DeGaulle that started the entire Quebecois shit too. Fuck the french
