Uh OK.. so I have to use up my monthly bandwidth limit jut to piss off someone who's running a zombie, whilst the real spammer doesn't get affected at all.
No thanks.

No, because the anti-spam measures do not aim to kill those people
Blue frog receive one spam, and they trigger *every* blue frog client to DDOS the spammers' site simultaneously, whether or not they got the original site.
Of course it might not be a spammers site.. these idiots are just asking for someone to use them as a cheap DDOS network.
i used to send a newsletter to roughly 500 addresses, some of which were opt-in and some of which were scavenged by other methods. As the merchant, I always took the "take
It doesn't have to handle broken html in the same way as internet explorer (although it really should try to).. crashing is not acceptable 'handling' of anything.
Of course.. being illegal to name the competitor gives them an advantage.
You really thing they're using coke on the pepsi taste test? No, it's just some cheap supermarket crap... that's why they manage to get 80-90% of people liking pepsi.
There are only about 3 companies making detergent (well, there are in the UK. Lever Bros, Procter&Gamble.. err.. make that 2 companies). All their comparisons are against different versions of their own product!
You'd would have to prove it.. you're making an assertion.
That's why the pepsi adds don't say pepsi is better than coca cola, they say 'in taste tests 8 out of 10 people preferred pepsi'. It's weasel words... the implied 'better' is there, but they didn't say it.
That's already the law in other countries.. I'm really surprised to hear it's not the law in the US too.
That's why the pepsi taste test ads for example refer to 'another well known brand of cola' rather than coke (OTOH I think in their case that do that because the 'other' cola is just a cheap supermarket brand).
This is also the reason for the mysterious 'brand X' on soap powder ads.
I never overclock, and I found the 6800GT would overheat and crash with its stock cooling... not to mention the fans sounded like an aircraft taking off (could hear them from then next room!!!). I replaced them with a zalman cooler and it's silent, and a lot cooler, and only crashes on extremely hot days.
I was thinking that... in what way are graphics coolers 'expensive'. If you've spent $300 on your graphics card adding a silent cooler for 1/10th of that is *not* expensive.
Just make it the law, just like it is with videos (I assume it is the law in the US that an underage person can't go into a cinema or rent a video...).
Not a lot you can do about the parents giving the child the game after you've bought it, unless you get really restrictive like we have for R18 videos in this country (allowing a child to view one - even accidently - carries a jail sentence).
Once OSX is on x86 even using apple hardware, people are going to expect to be able to plug in their latest and greatest NVidia card and have it work. Same with all other hardware... odd little USB widgets, etc. Apple get away with it at the moment because the hardware needs a PPC version - hence you have mac specific graphic cards etc. That won't happen on x86.
The only thing that apple will have any control over is the motherboard/cpu, and that's not exactly hard to do.
Slashdot Mirror
What's kinda funny I went to the hacker defender website (they don't exactly hide themselves) and there's a big advert for this book!

Yet.
No.. read the article.

so they're not legitimate at all.. in fact they're making the problem worse by eating bandwidth.
DDOS is a crime in many countries. Hope they've got good lawyers.

So you're a spammer. End of conversation. FOAD.
It's slashdotted.. you're lucky you got that far.
I read the blog, which appears to be a community website bitching about getting spammed. The home page is content free, and the other pages time out.
Just a small amount of information in the summary might have helped.
They still make winamp? I thought that went bust years ago.
I still use winzip because it handles tar.gz files and the builtin one doesn't.. I can understand why a lot of people aren't using it any more.

how does Pepsi run all those ads with Coca-Cola products in the ad?
They do? On all the adds I've seen they refer to 'another well know cola' and no reference to coke is ever made.
Hmm.. I wonder if I could register 127.0.0.1 as a domain name :)
(OK I'd have to register '1.com' or something.. interesting idea though).

Your howto specifically states how to *not* use mod_gzip and to create .gz copies of every page.
Not so useful on a dynamic site.
In europe, its extremely common for people to have MSN, whilst the trend stateside seems to be more toward AIM
Hmm my experience has been the opposite.
I don't know anyone on MSN but know a few people on AIM.. thought MSN was a US phenomenon really.

SSH with RSA auth and no passwords *is* pretty damned near impossible to penetrate.
Can't wait for the gentoo car.
It arrives as a kit of parts, but the owner swears it runs faster because he built it himself.
How how would they be able to do this without Scotty?!?!
Easy. They reversed the polarity. You can fix anything by reversing the polarity.
Umm.. the pastor can cast fire - doesn't that mean he's a Black Mage? I thought pastors were supposed to all be White Mages?

Damn that's cheap.. that's around £20.
Over here the cheapest you can get them is £60 ($100) and retail they go for over £100 ($160).
They're going to have to do most of that anyway.
