Darren:
Further to my phone call of a few minutes ago, here's a followup email of which I'm also sending copies to John Gilmore and the EFF.
Having just learned of this whole saga (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/03/07/16232 13&mode=nested&tid=153), here are my thoughts.
I find Mr. Gilmore's behaviour and attitude absolutely abhorrent. He apparently thinks that he has the moral right to run an open relay, and that noone should stop him.
Has he never heard of SMTP authentication (http://www.imc.org/rfc2554)? This would allow his mail server to accept socket connections from anyone, yet only allow his authorized users to send mail through his relay. Most modern MUAs support this.
Now, supposedly, a virus is (or has been) using his relay to propagate. (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/ven c/data/w32.yaha@mm.html) This in and of itself should be grounds for immediate termination of Gilmore's T1, or at least an ACL entry on your router serving his connection to block all outbound port 25 traffic, until he straightens this mess out by implementing some sort of security on his relay. I understand this is already the case. If not, perhaps it should be?
If this were 1992, one could see how beneficial an open relay might be on the Internet. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case under any circumstances.
Being a paying member of the EFF ([My EFF-registered email address went here]), I am sincerely disappointed that the EFF is taking such an anti-Internet stance as to support the maintenance of an open relay which has, without any doubt, been abused in the past (and will no doubt continue to be). This makes me sincerely rethink my desire to continue to be a paying member, as well as my advice to friends and relatives to make donations to the EFF in lieu of giving me gifts at the holidays.
I find it amusing that Mr. Gilmore himself asks (http://www.toad.com/gnu/verio-censorship.html) for a copy of any correspondence regarding this matter be sent to nospam@eff.org -- how ironic.
Thanks in advance for helping to keep the Internet free from spam and virii, Darren. Knowledgeable Internet users everywhere thank you.
They seperated about 25 years ago from the crown. This is why their flag is a red maple leaf and not some other design with a british commonwealth logo on the upper left hand side.
This image from the Red Flag Linux English home page (just to the left of the word News) is the same colour layout as the Microsoft logo, rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
Call 1-800-PICK-UPS (1-800-742-5877) and select the option to track a package. Most likely, you'll be presented with a (very American-sounding) voice asking you to "Please say the tracking number now".
Rattle off a legit UPS tracking number fairly rapidly (still understandably, though), and it repeats back to you what it thought it heard. Even calling from my car, with a handsfree car kit, it's never once gotten it wrong.
The HDCP system can't be broken, however, because only high definition sets will have the HDCP decoder, according to Dan McCarron, national product specialist in JVC's color TV division.
Heh, "can't be broken". Well, we'll just have to wait and see.
To be precise, that should be whatever the name of the image is, followed by '-s'. You can hit TAB to view a list of images.
Now, if whoever installed Linux locked down lilo as well (with the restricted keyword in/etc/lilo.conf), then this won't work without a password. But a lot of Linux installs I've sat in front of are open to this...
By Katz's argument McDonald's is better than the 5* Michelin-Approved restaurant down the road...
Michelin only awards three stars to restaurants (at least that's the case in Europe). Three stars is rare, and basically guarantees an amazing gastronomic experience combined with fantastic service. Obviously, the price will be set accordingly.
I've been lucky enough to experience dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant in France, and it was beyond my expectations. I recommend it highly.
Oh, and my point? Only three stars. Hotels go up to five.:)
It carries no warnings or disclaimers that the poll has been massively rigged by Microsoft.
My 1337 copy-and-pasting skillz prove otherwise:
Poll Results - Thank you for voting! On 21 December, ZDNet posted a story reporting the preliminary results of this poll, which showed a large majority of respondents who said they planned to deliver applications via Web services by the end of 2002 favoured Java for the job. At the time, Java outranked.Net by a factor of three in this poll. By early January, the position had reversed; the results are shown here. An investigation indicated that Microsoft employees used vote-rigging to distort the results. The full story can be found here.
Do you plan to have Web services running by the end of 2002? If so, which?

Actually, it doesn't. I have a few bucks in my paypal account that are not earning interest
Uhm, that's not what the poster meant. PayPal uses the money *YOU* have on deposit with them, invests it, and earns interest on that investment.
Therefore, they use YOUR money to invest, keep the interest, and give you none.
Hence, they earn money on cash on deposit.

You can stop waiting now.

If you're going to keep such vulgarities from the virginal eyes of the Slashdot crowd, at least try to be uniform about it.
