    Just as a tip - try PortableFirefox (http://portableapps.com/), it should bypass the "remove firefox" script.

    Well, if $this->isa(joke) == 0, then $this->{funny} == 0, quite clearly, so yes, you are very correct about that.

    But you shouldn't be laugh()'ing either - since $this->isa(joke) == 0, laugh() will never run.

    You must make the source code available upon request for a maximum of the same price as that of the product. So they can sell the source to the requester for the price of the software, but then the requester might as well buy the software and request the source code for the price of a CD + shipping.

    Sure it's not 95 or NT? Those are actually more stable and secure than XP/ME/98/etc if installed properly.

    The scheme with the mouse-clicked word is flawed - simply take screen-shots at each mouse click when the browser is pointed at the banking site.

    My Dutch bank did implement a smart system: hashing devices given to customers. Free first time, if you loose it, it is 5 or 10 EUR to replace. Solves their cost problem as well.

    My German bank uses a quite old system - transaction numbers. Seems to work perfectly, although there are flaws in the system as well (a highly targeted trojan could modify the HTML of the page so that a different amount / account number is transmitted, but the system from my Dutch bank does not have this, since the hash includes the target account number.

    The idea is that the consumer can request a refund of his money and the bank will then check the PC.

    Note that the consumer starts the process, in order to get the money, they have to present the PC. Like a simple trade.

    Yes, it is 273.

    But I would use the FOIL method I learned in school.

    21 = 20+3

    21 = 20+3? I mean, if you had said 21 = 20+1, the whole method would make sense to me, quite a smart one acutally, but I just don't get the conversion from 21 to 23 - some explanation, maybe? :P

    13 = 10+3

    (20+1)(10+3) = 200 + 60 + 10 + 3 = 273

    Hi,

    just to answer you:

    - The requirement for this could be implemented slowly. It could also be implemented now, but could use manual and automatic white-lists for users who are communicating with others without DomainKeys/SPF regularly.

    - Politicians need not know about this - the ISPs do.

    - It is not that difficult to set up DomainKeys and/or SPF for a server administrator - it is all directly bound to a legal identity.

  21. Re:ISPs have to be the solution on Botnet Mafia in Online Turf War · · Score: 1

    DomainKeys and SPF should become a requirement - that would solve the problem.

    They are at it again. Snob, uppish, wants whole world do things in their own way, learn french and whatnot. They isolate themselves, dont join in the international community, and they want whole 250+ countries in the world to listen to what they say.

    I'm sorry, were we talking about France or the US?

    The US speak french???



    Now they found a "anti spam" organization as if anti spam organizations do not exist. In at most 2 years i assure you they will be proposing laws to eu that every eu member should mandatorily use their anti spam shit. This is the french way.

    Come back in two years to discover...that you're dreaming.

    You know what fucking morons, we dont care about your delusions de grandeur. Shove your "own way" up your own arses. Theres spamcop, we will use it, and we will ignore whatever shit you "invent" as if new.
