You can use asterisk to block calls easily and interactivly
This is my incoming call context in asterisk. Basically any DID number that comes in goes to my extension 111:
[inbound]
exten => _XXX.,1,GotoIf(${DB_EXISTS(blacklist/${CALLERID(num)})}?custom-blacklisted,s,1) ;First step, check to see if cid number is in the asterisk database (and yes asterisk has a database) ;If true route call to [custom-blacklist] context
exten => _XXX.,2,Set(DB(lastcallerid/number)=${CALLERID(num)}) ;Next step if call was not in the blacklist, set the key lastcallerid/cid#
exten => _XXX.,3,Dial(SIP/111|20) ;Ring ext 111
Well that was sort of a rant but atleast we agree that something is wrong. I see the problems the law would make. But the disadvantages of not having it might be greater. Kinda like the yes on prop 8 / no on prop 8 debacle. Both sides can make good arguments but imo one of the sides is wrong lol
Allow me to be blatantly honest. I think kids should have the right to explore their sexuality in a safe manner online. I know I did.
Why is "adult entertainment" so exclusive anyway? You know, they could have extremely tame erotic websites to cater to kids who are interested. Probably like softcore Playboy pics or something.
"adult entertainment" Ruins lives dude. Too many kids today cry for Mommy and Daddy. Daddy is at the bar with his new girlfriend, Mommy no longer satisfies him. Mommy is at banana republic with her girlfriends expressing her taste for materialism. Todays families are very broken. Children no longer look up to their parents but to movie stars, teachers, and the cool kid at school. ANd one second here, how in the world is the internet a safe place to explore sexuality??? beastality, goatse, two girls one cup, asians puking on each other? Yea just what everyone needs.
Why is it that back when I was a teenager and first got the internet (1998 era), that every single porn site that I tried to go to prompted me for a credit card number?
I spent my teen years trying my hardest to find porn but never could. And then I look at the net now. I am not sure what happened but I am not happy with it. So many men struggle with porn now a days. I guess one good thing is that since it is pretty much free men won't squander all their money on it. But still I am not happy.
I really wonder how I am going to handle this with my children. Sure I am a computer science guy, I run a linux firewall on my local net with squid guard installed. But blocking "adult content" pretty much disables the whole internet. Which sorta shows how big this problem is. I don't mind my complicated squidguard set up and it works good but I could never expect parents to be able to do this. Most parents know nothing. I can't recommend squidguard because of the complexity, but I can't recommend the standard windows blocker apps as they are crappy, monopolistic and it is just something else that you have to install on windows on top of all the adware malware virus stuff. Way too much money already. Heck these windows machines are getting harder and harder to maintian. Todays cars probably require less maintenance than todays windows machines. And this doesn't seem to be getting easier but harder!
If the governement wants to pull this then they better make the app that will filter the crap that a simple law would. And it better be a good app. And free.
I disagree. Most guides out there for ubuntu involve terminal commands. If you want to do something simple, like isntall wow, your gonna be inside of the terminal.
I don't even know what to think. If you think you have the right to push your beliefs on me because some scientist said that you were "born this way" then think again. I used to have sex with my animals on my farm. Was I born that way? Did I get any rights? NO. And you know what, I had to eventually accept that what I was doing was wrong. Jesus helps me with that. It is the same thing here. A bunch of whiners, trying to get as many people on their side so that way THEY won't feel so bad about it.
This is all because of the way the government works things. Yet these people lash out at churches and communities demanding their "rights". I don't know what the heck they want but they can go crawl back to their beloved government and complain about the lack of equality in their civil unions.
Laws like these will eventually force oppression on companies. What if you are a DJ and you are asked to play at a gay marriage but you refuse because it goes against what you believe? Will you be prosecuted? What if you run a wedding planning service and are forced to plan a gay wedding or risk a federal offense? This is not the america that I want!
How I would really be ashamed to work at google. I am now ashamed to even use their products. Do you think that every one of their 20,000 employees agrees with this? Some big (gay) cheese at the top is trying to oppress everyone. Communists!
A couple weeks ago, while browsing around the library downtown, I had to take a piss. As I entered the john, Barack Obama -- the messiah himself -- came out of one of the booths. I stood at the urinal looking at him out of the corner of my eye as he washed his hands. He didn't once look at me. He was busy and in any case I was sure the secret service wouldn't even let me shake his hand.
As soon as he left I darted into the booth he'd vacated, hoping there might be a lingering smell of shit and even a seat still warm from his sturdy ass. I found not only the smell but the shit itself. He'd forgotten to flush. And what a treasure he had left behind. Three or four beautiful specimens floated in the bowl. It apparently had been a fairly dry, constipated shit, for all were fat, stiff, and ruggedly textured. The real prize was a great feast of turd -- a nine inch gastrointestinal triumph as thick as his cock -- or at least as I imagined it!
I knelt before the bowl, inhaling the rich brown fragrance and wondered if I should obey the impulse building up inside me. I'd always been a liberal democrat and had been on the Obama train since last year. Of course I'd had fantasies of meeting him, sucking his cock and balls, not to mention sucking his asshole clean, but I never imagined I would have the chance. Now, here I was, confronted with the most beautiful five-pound turd I'd ever feasted my eyes on, a sausage fit to star in any fantasy and one I knew to have been hatched from the asshole of Barack Obama, the chosen one.
Why not? I plucked it from the bowl, holding it with both hands to keep it from breaking. I lifted it to my nose. It smelled like rich, ripe limburger (horrid, but thrilling), yet had the consistency of cheddar. What is cheese anyway but milk turning to shit without the benefit of a digestive tract?
I gave it a lick and found that it tasted better then it smelled.
I hesitated no longer. I shoved the fucking thing as far into my mouth as I could get it and sucked on it like a big half nigger cock, beating my meat like a madman. I wanted to completely engulf it and bit off a large chunk, flooding my mouth with the intense, bittersweet flavor. To my delight I found that while the water in the bowl had chilled the outside of the turd, it was still warm inside. As I chewed I discovered that it was filled with hard little bits of something I soon identified as peanuts. He hadn't chewed them carefully and they'd passed through his body virtually unchanged. I ate it greedily, sending lump after peanutty lump sliding scratchily down my throat. My only regret was that Barack Obama wasn't there to see my loyalty and wash it down with his piss.
I soon reached a terrific climax. I caught my cum in the cupped palm of my hand and drank it down. Believe me, there is no more delightful combination of flavors than the hot sweetness of cum with the rich bitterness of shit. It's even better than listening to an Obama speech!
Afterwards I was sorry that I hadn't made it last longer. But then I realized that I still had a lot of fun in store for me. There was still a clutch of virile turds left in the bowl. I tenderly fished them out, rolled them into my handkerchief, and stashed them in my briefcase. In the week to come I found all kinds of ways to eat the shit without bolting it right down. Once eaten it's gone forever unless you want to filch it third hand out of your own asshole. Not an unreasonable recourse in moments of desperation or simple boredom.
I stored the turds in the refrigerator when I was not using them but within a week they were all gone. The last one I held in my mouth without chewing, letting it slowly dissolve. I had liquid shit trickling down my throat for nearly four hours. I must have had six orgasms in the process.
I often think of Barack Obama dropping solid gold out of his sweet, pink asshole every day, never knowing what joy it could, and at least once did, bring to a grateful democrat.
I think the Windows programming model is at fault for much of the obfusciation tactics used by malware. Entire classes of exploits have arisen due entirely to the complexities and obscurities of the interface. Modern anti-malware tactics have to monitor many different parts of the operating system, and in some cases due to architectural constraints the methods of doing so can make the entire operating system unstable. Not only that, but race conditions and the use of special trap conditions/exception handling can make safely disabling malware a frustrating experience. Even professionally designed applications can sometimes tank the Operating System. Trying disabling Symantec Anti-virus on an XP system without a reboot, for example, and then doing a reinstall of it remotely. In the field, I saw failure rates of about 6% for SAV10. On a hundred thousand systems, let's just say I was not happy on that deployment! Killing malware is even more risky.
Windows is layers upon layers of earlier APIs that cannot be removed due to "backwards compatibility" concerns. I have some limited exposure to the.NET framework, and it has perhaps a half-dozen APIs for threading, and the documentation is riddled with exposed interfaces that have the note "Do not use. Not safe. bullet in the brain pan squish" in it. Over a third of the API is already depreciated (as far as I can tell), and there is an ever-shifting set of best practices standards. I can only imagine the hell a proper programmer endures in developing truly complex applications for.NET -- all I was doing was a few WMI calls and a database interface and I still crashed the kernel many times trying to figure out what to trap -- in many cases, error handling is mostly about creating a catch-all and then trying to break your code to see what is generated and then guessing what to trap accordingly. With an interface this complicated and unstable, it will always be a cat and mouse game between the white and black hats on this architecture, a game predicated on undocumented interfaces, obscurity, and deep knowledge of layers of the operating system that interact in unpredictable ways.
Compare this to linux, where the interfaces haven't changed that much, and when they do, depreciated means "We're going to remove this in a year or so and we mean it." Open source has one huge advantage here -- if it's not maintained, it ceases to be relevant and there's no 20 year old code lurking about in an unused API long forgotten. At least not nearly to the degree Windows has it. If you ask me, Microsoft is complicit in allowing malware to exist because they are unwilling to modernize Windows. They need to start over from scratch on their codebase and have a good hard think about what those APIs and interfaces are going to look like and then stick to it. Or at the very least, they could start by documenting these interfaces and releasing some code so we can be more confident that our hooks into their black-boxed APIs won't tear the operating system's heart out...
Well, if Linuzzz can be installed for free at schools and Windows cost a little bit (MS Select and Campus contracts are really a good deal at schools and universities), how do you explain the fact that Windows and Macs still have the edge in education over GNU/Linuzzz?
Couldn't be that this is the tool (I repeat, the TOOL, not the religion) that is, for good or bad, the defacto standard out there in the real world? Couldn't be a good think that you are preparing your students to use the tools (I repeat, not the religion) that could help them to face the real world market?
Sure, it could be a cool think to get Basquian language to be obligatory for all schools in Sweden, but I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that students would be more happy having a good English language education, just for their future sake. Basquian? Sure, be my guest, get a book and learn.
They are not taught concepts that is for sure. I once installed Open Office for an accounting friend of mine. He had been using Excel for years. Upon showing him how to add columns in OO he cheered and said "Cool I don't have to use my calculator anymore!"
If you vote me in as your president I promise I will provide tax cuts and tax benefits and tax cuts plus more tax cuts to 90% of all of you. And then to you other 10%...oh you other 10%,.. im gunna..imgunna...oh boy Im gunna bend you over and really make you pay, OMG let me tell you Im a gunna make you pay for it all...oh boy yes sir
You have to be kidding me! Just open your eyes! A girlfriend that I had once went through 3 laptops within 2 years. Each time the reason for upgrading was "it is getting slow" or "I think it is fixing to crash". I mean most all of the times it is typical windows problems that cause people to think that they need a new computer. Oh and if it is your desktop that is messing up, then that means it is time to buy a laptop so you can go to starbucks and show it off.
Not me though, I replaced my 6 year old Latitude C610 with an acer aspire one just because it was smaller. Both run linux either way. I don't think this article is talking about "geeks" that know better buying up all the laptops
You freaking idiot. You are not supposed to tell the whole world about this stuff! Once everyone finds out about this then I won't be able to have fun any more:(
Aw this really sucks. I had an nf7s-v2 that was my only desktop for about 6 years. It was the first computer that I ever built too. It worked fine in linux too. Looks like alot of people here have had trouble with their products. I would have never known, I guess I got lucky. I replaced my nf7s this year with an asus ma79-t deluxe. I looked at abits stuff and it just seemed like they were not up with the times yet. Sad

You can use asterisk to block calls easily and interactivly
;First step, check to see if cid number is in the asterisk database (and yes asterisk has a database)
;If true route call to [custom-blacklist] context

;Ring ext 111
;if nothing in lastcallerid jump to priority 104 and throw an error
exten => 1,4,Set(DB(blacklist/${number})=1)

Dude that is why they sell so good already. They break and get outdated within a year.....then you have to buy a new one!
I like the way you think. $50 for the new hard drive and then illegally download the rest
Lets see, 8 years to devolop win vista and only 2 years to develop win 7 Yea this will be good. I will stick to my custom built min install of Debian
You freaking idiot. You are not supposed to tell the whole world about this stuff! Once everyone finds out about this then I won't be able to have fun any more :(
Aw this really sucks. I had an nf7s-v2 that was my only desktop for about 6 years. It was the first computer that I ever built too. It worked fine in linux too. Looks like alot of people here have had trouble with their products. I would have never known, I guess I got lucky. I replaced my nf7s this year with an asus ma79-t deluxe.
