Hey go ahead install a second AV program. You'll cut your productivity by 80% with all the fucking alerts and pop-ups! What would be better is to put the whole motherfucker behind IPCop and run XP.
Nonsense! Try running wavelab 5, Magix Music Maker. Try actually using protools 8 and see if you don't get buffer problems, pop's and other shit.
If this windows 7 is like vista, it's crap. You don't fucking run a realtime audio and video production in a fucking VM!!!
The box I loaded up recently was a HP Sempron 32bit 2.2 GHz laptop, There was so much crap running on it I had to track down and kill services, I a had to install ztree to track shit down, manage files (Fucking explorer is DOGSHIT!!!) Registry tweaking, I never did find the reason HELP CENTER keeps popping up in the middle of your work. The AVG 8.5 made the box nearly completely useless until it was uninstalled. Pop-up messages in the fucking middle of editing drumagog in magix audio studio, etc. no.NET was installed so the Sony vegas crap won't load either. UAC restrictions! Fuck, It took me three days to defang vista. with all the pop-up alerts, Access Denied!, new locations for shit, failed installations and troubleshooting and clean up of each failure. After all said and done the only thing I managed to install in three days was
Magix Audio Lab Sound Forge A still broken, yet somehow "installed" wavelab 5 (supposedly there's a fix for the "open file" failure, but I never found a working solution) A shitload of audio and video plug-ins (which just takes time to install period, but pop-ups from AVG, and HELP CENTER didn't make it easy) Vegas 7 + plug-ins
We are talking an insane waste of productivity time. Call me, pissed off. I did the work for a friend so I fought through it, but man. If anyone ever want's a vista laptop worked on again, I won't do it, it should have been formatted with XP sp3.
In fact, I have always loved Microsoft, but not their current products. All that fancy eye candy, incompatibility, popups, access denied, and drm crap can go fuck itself. Nearly every program I tried to use had some stupid fucking problem to track down, and the box... I dunno how to put it but it just never let you take full control even though you have admin. From experimental compatibility settings to Security | Full Control, to the interface, hidden files, folder view, explorer.exe, IE (and a shitload of addins), for god sakes I had to install fucking firefox to navigate for patches and shit.
After this experience, I will run XP behind a fucking firewall, until I die, or no longer use the web.
And dear friend if your reading this, the only way we will reload that HP again is if it's formatted with XP.
Wanna know the funny thing? When I finally got back from this insane install fest. I found my Christmas For Windows 1994 CD. I had always liked the "Christmas Tiles" game. Being 1994, the disk was targeted at win 3.1, So I pop it in and copy C4WTILES.EXE, and BWCC.DLL and boom it lights right up. This was on an XP box, and I would BET it works in wine on linux, but I DOUBT it would work on VISTA.
Vista is a cluster fuck of nonsense. If windows 7 is similar, I would short Microsoft stock if you catch my drift.
You can try a service like tor if you want to be a bad netizen Not really sure what the logic is here. Is tor a nasty solution that isn't all that effective and highly inefficient? Yes. Blame the feds, not me.
He means transferring files across TOR. e.g. moving a 100MB file across someone's 5-10k node. As opposed to using tor for strictly loading up web pages with graphics and text.
Really, the way I see it, the only way left to stay anonymous (in the USA) for political reasons, is to find an open WAP, then tor your text/docs. The open WAP guy get's the heat.
Whoever allowed that data to be connected to the web should have their security clearance yanked, and be fired.
What the fuck will it take a COMMANDER with a god damned sledge hammer to fix the fucking pentagon computer security?
Actually they're likely so corrupt, they would send an airman out to do it.
Pentagon security needs a CLEANSING. Everyone there needs to have their clearance revoked!
And finally, this is the premeditated chronologically timed public news release on how US computer sucks. Now they have enough mainstream fascist seed test articles, with a successful moderated, censored feedback, the next thing they will roll out is the FIX. And you can fucking guarantee they will take some new civil right away to fix it.
They provided the PROBLEM, and now they will provide the FIX.
It's incompetent leadership, letting secrets go. It's GENIUS leadership, to crack down on American civil rights and privacy.
Fuck every one of these fuckers, If I was GOD for a day, I would fire everyone in the Pentagon. I would them a chance to prove their security clearance and potentially get their job back, but NO Iran/Contra people, no Vietnam/Cambodia people, no Rockafella's, no kissingers, enough of this fucking shit already.
CIA warns bla bla about SCADIA every fucking 2 months.
This is a fucking massive setup!
They don't hook DAMS to SCADIA, they have PEOPLE PHYSICALLY THERE! Don't be so fucking gullible, our government is no longer controlled by people, so they lie to us, you want control again?
Outlaw all electronic vote tabulation devices in our elections. FUck your Open source vs Closed source shit. IT IS THE HARDWARE BITCH!
This was planned, with everything going to hell, we can't have alternative voices. Any excuse to copy and analyze every packet and plan future attack on the people getting organized against the corruption in each respective country's government.
Canadians have their Republican Problem Americans have their Corrupt two party problem.
The Broadcast spectrum is fascist owned in each country.
So as they crack down on people, there won't be many tools left to fight back.
(It would be nice if Canadians and Americans could get along in this light. Our LEADERS are the scum, not the citizens.)
Exactly! I am sitting here with my jaw open thinking to myself "What's with all these pro-data cap idiots/propagandists/trolls?"
Instead of all these posts about how they are pro-data cap, these fools should be talking about ending their service with TW.
The "heavy user" terminology is made up from thin air as a tool to brainwash people into thinking they need to pay some new fucking fee on top of their already promised plan.
Look you stupid trolls.
1.5MB down / 384k up @ 1 year contract.
IT'S ALREADY DATA CAPPED.
Now you want to tell me your going to start charging me per MB in today's multimedia, government enriched pdf, and commercial spam world?!
I have an answer for you.
Next year's contract will look like this.
0MB down / 0k up @ 1 year contract. e.g. COST ZERO
oh and a couple years after that..
My wehosting contract won't be paid My domains won't be paid.
And a couple years after that.
The economy will be so decimated, fascist news so propagandized a new fidonet style BBS will be dusted off and pop up. ( I mean I got to tell ya, back in 99 I just pkziped my bbs up, I can unzip it and tune it up in no time flat...)
Is this the vision of the future? Year 2012 - 16 ANSI colors, on 33.6 modems, piping in steaming hot fascist propaganda?
This is a failure of proper safety factor planning of the Cable network. This excuse to cap data is only a way to get the Camel's nose under the tent. Even if they BUILT UP their cable network to make data caps irrelevant, they will still keep the data cap in place. Once it comes it won't go away. Once it comes many alternative voices will be silenced.
Roll out SPA / Port knocking, their IP shouldn't be touching your sensitive ports without a rule, table, or chain specifically allowing access. FORGET THE PASSWORD!
While Big Media consolidates, they now execute the cinching down of grassroots alternative communications.
It's TIME WARNER it's COMCAST it's AT&T
It's all about moving everyone to a "Certified Identity", Controlled Content, zero privacy, no constitution without big money, no choice for the middle class.
What are customers going to DUMP TW? no.. They HAVE NO CHOICE!
Every time someone asks a question on how to stop spam, there's always some smartass expert that say's, "This is the year 200X, you should be able to filter it." Yet the reality is not everyone can lock down their exim, sendmail, etc. It is complex, and spam is still a vector for hell of problems.
A sysad could have all the orbs, dnsbl, spamhouse, etc filters in their system, and still the spam will make it through.
There's a lot of reasons the "volunteer" experts in irc on #debian, #ubuntu, #suse advice is bunk.
A user who has an exploitable web form mail script. Outdated server software on unmanaged server. (ex: Fedora Core Version 4 running) cPanel exploits. Rootkits. Broken SMTP server. No Iptables firewall. (Don't laugh I've seen servers like this, with no firewall at all!) Financially impossible. Multiple binaries. killall -9 exim exposing extra binaries running.
Unless your willing to sit down 24/7 and monitor your/var/log looking for patterns, and flushing the/var/cache/mail to see what came in, searching through all your users directories for exploits, the chances are these experts advice will not work. Many hosting companies, individuals, have no idea how to deal with email servers, in fact they should just shut the port off and remove the server. Having hundreds of spam connections to your email server every second, doesn't make grepping the logs any easier. CIDR blocking networks of the top 100 spam connections, can ease it some. Blocking entire countries can help also.
I have watched spam destroy a hosting company financially. From trying to get off blacklists to forced outsourcing.
Frankly, the free advice and elitist attitudes for help isn't working.
At the same time, people should be able to send anonymous mail --IMO And furthermore, the same volunteer experts are helpful with nearly everything else linux.
Anyway what works for you in your setup may not work for others. CAN-SPAM has not worked. (if you ask me it's a place for a spammer to build a list)
In my final opinion here, I am not going to leave you without a potential solution.
My solution is, put your fucking unmanaged server behind a firewall. For example ipcop. Somebody from germany hitting your FTP server every morning at cron time? iptables their ass and never see a packet again.
This goes contrary to the popular APF, BFD scripts. You could get a user complain they can't get mail from some server in china or.br but...... You can always OPEN that back up for them, as opposed to the hundreds of hits every second, taking your entire server (with low ram) into PEGGED HIGH CPU, with the fucking exim/processing/var/mail snafu.
truth be told, I have not personally ever found a way to stop spam from a server, except by CIDR'ing their entire network's ass up until they behave. Not a fucking packet from them after that. Yeah hundreds of thousands of other piddly ass fucking servers IP from countries on the entire planet still come in. Get rid of the TOP ones though...
The other thing is, even if you do catch, or ping some fucking server in the USA, you can't stop them. Or get paid. I was told I could get paid for each spammer I caught. Problem is there's no way to legally stop them and prove you caught them. (That's a LAW problem) Or I would be doing this every day, as my primary source of income!!!
On one server, I blocked,.Cn,.Ru,.BR,.FR Some germans..um, the bogans, and using log statistics to sort the top spam sources . I managed to get the CUSTOMERS HAPPY, and the CPU from 99% to 2% idle. Not one complaint about an email not reaching the Falun Gong.
A user who fucks up and hits an email list accidentally is not spam. (though assholes out there try to make it like it is, with solicitors and lawyers) But at the same time ANONYMOUS should pass though, and at the same time the real spammers need LIFE in prison.
And TAXPAYERS should surround Washington DC and Wall Street, disrupt traffic and run these motherfuckers out of town on a rail. Pitch Forks and Torches.
YEah and the good frequencies to warn the people are now making nice profits for FCC insiders and corruption. When's the last time bars and tone from the Emergency Broadcast System had anything valuable to say? If a real terrorist attack does happen, your HAM/CB radio will be more valuable than your TV, Phone or AM/FM radio. You can blame that on the FCC appointee.
Slashdot Mirror
I used to use WD-40 on the ink tapes. As an added benefit it smells great!
It's a bug cause the browser freaking disappears.
1394 is .... fucked
That'll work well with your 1394 firewire and digital cameras in a VM eh.

well since we are correcting my spelling instead of the situation of America. Might as well fix one more thing so we get the story straight.
