China Blocks Spam Servers
clafarge writes "I just read in the AP's LiveWire that, as reported by Xinhua News Agency, China has blocked 127 mail servers which it identifies as major sources of spam. Oh, happy day. They also published a list of 225 spam servers around the world just last month."
Guess they're following through on
this.
So now China can only get mail from the rest of the world, but not from inside. That's the deal, isn't it?
YAY CHINA!
Wait, that doesn't sound right...
All my asian college friends can no longer send me a suggestions on how to increase my breast/penis/bank acount. I guess there are always Carribian islands.
...but you're missing out. I just refinanced my mortgage for the third time this month, helped get a chunk of change out of Nigeria, and finally broke nine inches!
Actually it was a guy from New Zealand who did this...... Let's make the distiction that Australia and New Zealand are two totally seperate countries, how would you like it if I called you a Canadian ;-)
Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?

I guess when they upgraded from an 8 bit OS, they can block more. :)

Damn, they should've used an unsigned char. They could've closed 255 instead of only 127. Or they could've used an int and closed 2,147,483,647.
I don't think an unsigned int, nor a long long would've been necessary.

I'd probably use that as an IQ test for ya. You see, as an average Slashdotter, there are a few simple ways to guage somebody's entire intelligence quotient.
- Did he distinguish beteen Canada and the United States?
- Did he refrain from using smilies or internet shorthand?
- Did he use apostrophe's correctly?
- Does he praise Linux and Mozilla?
- Did he correctly spell all the words in his post, especially the long ones that people rarely use?
- Does he hate George Bush?
If any of these questions are answered no, then your IQ is zilch!
Don't take it personally, I'm just going with the flow!
