Yup, that little programmer published in Transactor Magazine for the C64 was a life changing event.
None of this instant, ebay gratification you whippersnappers have. 4 weeks and 2 email (Fidonet) exchanges
with the author and I had something that burned a 2732 in less that 5 minutes!
And God was it horrible looking.
Read RFC1912 - no, it's not for SMTP, but a requirement of being on the net in general. Note the "loss of internet services" - of which smtp is.
Make sure your PTR and A records match. For every IP address, there
should be a matching PTR record in the in-addr.arpa domain. If a
host is multi-homed, (more than one IP address) make sure that all IP
addresses have a corresponding PTR record (not just the first one).
Failure to have matching PTR and A records can cause loss of Internet
services similar to not being registered in the DNS at all. Also,
PTR records must point back to a valid A record, not a alias defined
by a CNAME. It is highly recommended that you use some software
which automates this checking, or generate your DNS data from a
database which automatically creates consistent data.
"When MySQL launched, PostgreSQL was always an option."
Note: the article picks on all "OLDSQL" engines, so don't be so smug in having Postgres to choose from. It's are next on the bashing list.
If people were complaining about how/slow/unreachable/screwed up/ Facebook was, this might have been an actual article and not FUD about Mysql. But they aren't. Even Google has an investment in mysql. and there is very little complaint about how reachable they are. If it ain't broke - invent something new and PROFIT!
Please read the BOFH where the IT guy plugs the pc's network connection into an AC wall outlet.
Problem solved! There are no illegal devices on the net.
Good! I'm glad someone is paying attention to these
home grown extremists.
Perhaps one of you guys at COX COMMUNICATIONS will see the
light and get Westboro Baptist Church off your ip space.

Agreed. And any customer who invests in a company wasting their time on artificially protecting their "IP" and adding it to the customers expense shouldn't be rewarded.
It's akin of Stanley telling you that you can't drive a screw with a hammer. Why should they care.
As soon as AT&T sells an open Android phone (not that Motorola flip) , Apple will receive the results of my angst.
Excellent reply, sir.
Next, they'll need a toy even more sensitive to collect the sound of knives swooshing
through the air. Or, maybe cars heading towards humans.
Save your money and invest in "Minority Report" - the real weapons are the humans.
Yeah, lets let Microsoft have a nice tax free environment, the US's part of the International Space Station. And make em use their own OS to run it.

From the CNN linked article...
"The Redmond behemoth asserts that one reason free software is of such high quality is that it violates more than 200 of Microsoft's patents."
Funny, Microsoft owns the patents and you guys code it in a higher quality fashion?
I'm suitably impressed that the FOSS coders are better at coding STABLE projects than the owner of the patents. GOOD WORK, folks!

No doubt looking for something important to patent.

That's an excellent post, Above.

Glad you brought up the RFCs - isn't a proper rDNS entry for a server a requirement?

I can only think about the massive lawsuit Mr. Allen attempted last year was
to be a further fund arm for projects like this.

Did anybody think to open the control panel and search the Espionage Viewer? Oh Damn! Somebody rebooted!
I can't believe you like money too. We should hang out.
