I switched my corporate lan's proxy to use OpenDNS and I thought a few of the blocking categories looked useful so I selected them. I quickly disabled those after the first day. I don't see how Monster.com qualifies as an Adware site, but it sure pissed off my HR dept when they got a blocked message in their browser. Those categories are so overreaching, it's laughable. The typo correction and shortcuts are useful though.
Isn't that why we invented asynchronous communication mediums like e-mail and texting? Why won't texting fly? Just e-mail his phone (most providers do have e-mail addresses associated with each number) or text him to please give you a call when he has a moment.
I'd be more pissed at suddenly getting a voicemail message notification and wondering where the hell it came from and spending minutes checking it rather than a quick text.
If it was part of the "Heroes happen here" launches... I got a trial disc of 2k8 and a full (unadvertised) disc of Vista Ultimate. I threw out the 2k8 trial and have not opened the Vista Ultimate case. I wanted a full 2k8 and was disappointed, but Ubuntu gives me a full version of their server and my small business is happy to use it... I enjoyed telling the survey lady when she called a few weeks after the event that I would buy 2k8 only because you can't buy 2k.
The "ready for a new day" launch was better than this one...
Just another reason to make your local DNS forwarder use OpenDNS, or if you don't have one on your LAN, direct your router/workstations to OpenDNS.
If your small-business LAN is relying on your provider's DNS, hopefully they patched it. Most worth their salt have, but OpenDNS also provides many features that are useful to small-business (in addition to not having been vulnerable to the flaw).
It's only 95 once a year where you're at? Goodness friend, I'm moving there!

That makes sense to me. You need iTunes to install the app, so what's the point in building a non-iTunes interface to the app store? Nearly all of their target market (iPod and iPhone users) have iTunes installed.
Dude, seriously? You've reached a whole new level of paranoia. While that setup may work well for you (of course not on services that are country specific, like online video streaming and iTunes)... Wouldn't the latency involved in your myriad of connections kill any sort of gaming or, dare I say it, legal BT traffic?
I hate the argument of "if you have nothing to hide," but your degree of complexity makes me think you are doing some really shady stuff.
As a previous poster said, please tell me where you get such inexpensive 8mbit DSL to afford these other services at $50/month.
While only Peter Griffin knows the true size of Rhode Island, we have gov installations that are close... White Sands, Cheyenne Mountain and MGAGCC come to mind. Although, they hide all of their datacenters in an underground lair.
I'm nowhere near an HR drone, but that $36/hr is a variable figure depending on the role/purpose of the position, right? For example, a computer professional would have a different eligibility rate than someone in outside sales.
Or at least that's my understanding (and I could be way off base)...
I get them from snopes on many different machines, including fresh installations. It may be operator error, but fastclick manages to give me new windows, some of which are netflix.
Could you try some links on snopes and let me know your results? Perhaps I do have something, after the recent AVG nonsense, I've moved to Avast. I don't have any pop-up blocking toolbars like Yahoo or Google, but I believe I'm clean and that FF 2/3 should be blocking that stuff. IE8 blocks it and admittedly, I don't use NoScript or AdBlock Plus on a regular basis.
As fun as it is to give servers clever names, only the tech savvy staff are going to remember the true purpose of that machine (oh it's a reference to the roman goddess of proxy caching... duh, what's wrong with end user!).
It's easier for users to follow the idea if naming conventions follow a logic pattern. My small company has locations in multiple states and use host names like cityFileServer or cityProxy. Once users understand the role of a particular server, it's a trivial task to use one physically located at a different site. This also helps prevent vague help requests like "the server is down" because they are able to articulate exactly what they are talking about.
If it's a network of equipment that will never be used by end users, hell make it clever as you can. Most of the IT staff are going to use the IP addresses rather than the hosts anyway.
This may be slightly off-topic, but after separating with Netflix about 5 years ago, the biggest obstacle of my return is their use of pop-under advertising windows. I'm not sure how they get past Firefox's pop blocks, but it is annoying as hell. They're the X10 of 2008.
I agree. Block it on consumer ranges and let people ask for access (and give it to them). I'd think that most people who want access also know the possible repercussions. It's the spammy virus from grandma clicking on spyware that they are wanting to block and kudos to them for doing so.
This is why most corporate networks block port 25, except from the mail server. Seems to be along similar lines...
As a Comcast customer, I've never had my torrents completely stop, they just go around 300k... I did notice a speed increase when I chose to encrypt the traffic (uTorrent has it under Speed Guide).
Comcast is evil and I want them to DIAF, but my torrents, which are legal, haven't been that impacted.
When I want fast, I use the Comcast sponsored newsgroups through Giganews.
I continue to run classic in a production environment. I have a few legacy apps that it does a fine job with and I don't have the budget to purchase the OS X versions of the programs, if the original company is still even in business (they are specific to my industry).
I agree that it slows down the host machine, but 10-15 apps? Perhaps I lucked out...
Admittedly I run a few 98 boxes (and virtual machines) for similar reasons.

A silenced phone makes no noise and doesn't vibrate in your pocket, a phone set to vibrate does.

So 15 of you paid roughly $266/month each for a combined speed at around 1.5 Mbit? I thought Asia was ahead of the West in terms of connectivity...
I am assuming normal consumer activities, if you ran anything that required a fast upstream, maybe it was worth your while.

That's really hard on web servers that host multiple domains on a single IP. Virtual hosting isn't exactly a new idea.

Carrier Pigeons? Everyone needs them, especially when all our communication lines go out...

That's a great improvement, thanks for the idea.
Was this site designed on a C64?
Sheesh, I think I melted the W3 validator with it...

Yes, it is backscatter.
Bouncing an illegitimate message to an innocent third party is the core problem. It's still backscatter even though you are crafting a new message.
With all these requirements, do you receive e-mail from people who are less savvy than the average Slashdot reader?

Gizmodo covered this nearly a month ago, iCall is not brand-spankin' new and the video is not "recently released."

It sounds like not only do you *NEED* Windows, but you use a *PIRATED* piece of software on a box owned by your company.
You think that MS isn't worthy of your money and apparently the CAD company isn't either.
People like you are the reason that IT departments fear the BSA. They didn't enact enough control over their hardware and you have abused it.
