Real mailers do that. Some folks, for odd, unknown reasons, keep using mail systems that refuse to do those things you specified, which started and continue to propagate the problem. Until we can get them to change to real mail server equipment, extreme solutions like ignoring RFCs seems to be the only way to find solace.
Well, seeing as how a friend and I have a client who's being bombarded by NDRs as a result of a joe-job on the client's domain name, it's good to know that DynDNS is copping a clue. Too bad you can't get the rest of the ISP gang on board that easily and that quickly.
Oh, I don't know. I don't think so. Neither does the guy who created this video, titled, "Dance, Monkeys, Dance."
I think it puts the whole idea into perspective. We're just another variety of life on this planet that's managed to evolve to the point of self-awareness, tool-using, and altogether too much self-importance. The idea that the universe would suffer from the human species becoming missing is folly.
Hah, look around you. If you think all you see is a good thing when compared to what things would have been like without us, you're nuts.

What, do you think these foreign nationals go around, wearing t-shirts, saying, "Hi, I'm a foreign national engaged in terrorism against America!"? How does one differentiate between someone who is a terrorist and someone who is not?
Legislation like this makes me terribly uncomfortable for reasons I shouldn't have to explain, and anyone who believes that we should be jumping at every shadow needs their head examined. The biggest problem is how accepting of idiotic legislation that erodes basic freedoms the average American has become.
... for the treasonous erosion of our rights. Warrantless wiretapping they say? Sorry, but that goes against the grain of what this country stands for, the right to privacy and the freedom to conduct one's affairs without the worry of someone listening in.
This constant harping on the bugaboo of terrorism as the reason for doing idiotic shit like this is just a cover for being able to conduct the war on drugs and the war on filesharing and the war on our basic rights as free people.
Fuck them all. Next election, vote for anyone but the incumbent. They're all idiots, I know, but at least the idiots that are currently in session shouldn't be allowed to continue to ruin the country.
What was funny was just a couple of years ago watching this asshole grouse on news.admin.net-abuse.email about how untouchable his operations were. Nice to see he's at least going to make lots of new friends and meet some interesting people... and become their prison bitch. He sure has a pretty mouth.
The real problem is the parents who would rather let their children surf happily on the 'Net as an electronic babysitter. They are only providing themselves with a bit of peace and quiet for a few short moments of their too-busy lives. They're too busy and/or too lazy to actually learn anything about computers and how to properly implement filtering systems; they expect their computers to be as safe as their refrigerator or microwave oven without realizing that the computer is so much more than either appliance.
You can't set children loose in a world of adults and expect them to be safe, whether that world be electronic or meatspace. The same dangers exist on the 'Net as in the Real World. These parents who think they're doing their children favors by setting them loose on the Internet without any sort of supervision should be set up in stocks for all of us to jeer and throw tomatoes at. That might be very fitting punishment for another stupid, archaic law meant to babysit "The CHILLLL-dren," which is ass coverage for, "I'm TOO BUSY to be an ATTENTIVE PARENT." The bloody thing has an on/off switch, and power cords don't grow on trees. If you're that worried about Junior seeing too much of Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee, use one or hide the other.
This is the same reason why I'm sitting here at 11 p.m., watching Ferris Bueller on VH1, a channel that I couldn't access without *paying for it*, and the bloody movie is censored to keep these same people from screaming too much about protecting "The CHILLL-dren." Fuck "The CHILLL-dren." You want them protected, they're your children, YOU PROTECT THEM. It's your job, stop pushing it off on the government and the rest of society.
...and wrote all three of my elected representatives about this travesty. The Communications Decency Act of 1996 died a natural death in 1997 when the Supremes decided it was bad law. Let's not resurrect the shambling corpse to trod all over our basic freedoms.
Proof or citations that might support your argument are lacking. To my knowledge, there is no law for email reliability and certainly no requirement that every piece of email be delivered. The law that governs those servers appears to be, "MS's property, MS's rules," and they can bloody well decide that they don't want to store certain attachments if they so desire.
I run my own email server, and I don't see anyone trying to force me to keep certain attachments here. For what it's worth, I've stopped accepting pdf files via email due to asshole spammers using them to carry their message now, and the people who live with me and get their email via my servers will just have to deal with that fact.
There are far too many auto companies making far too many different types and brands of automobiles. Let's make sure there aren't too many choices for the *sheeple* to have to take time out of their busy day to research and *think* about.
Frankly, I'd rather be free to choose from a range of bazaar Linux distributions rather than get stuck with a rotten product from one monolithic Microdeity in a temple high upon a mountain who charges too much $$ for software.
...that the majority of people have never heard of Linux before. They've lived in a world where Microsoft software is installed on a new computer by default, and about the only thing they know about this Linux thing is that it is just something their kids told them the kid down the street likes to play with. The bulk of the software on the market that people are exposed to is either Microsoft or created to only run on Microsoft operating systems.
The answer is to just do what we do best. Show people, educate them, and let them see what Linux is. Keep up the grassroots movement. It will take time, but as long as we keep educating people that they have a choice, Linux will catch on. Microsoft started in 1975 with some stolen code on paper tape, and they didn't become a household name overnight, either.
If the original submitter had included three words, "online blogging site," the word Orkut might have been a bit less mysterious to anyone who hasn't heard of it before.
The PACER system was the first place on the net to 'break' this news. Groklaw wasn't even second, in that at least one, and probably more, anti-SCO sites had the filing up on the net before Groklaw.
Cite please. Name these anti-SCO sources of which you have so much confidence that they scooped Groklaw.
The doctor that I work for has asked me to research this very line of thinking for her, pulling every article out I could find on multiple sclerosis (MS) and Vitamin D, and I even ended up using some of that research in a paper I wrote for an English class.
There's a very significant link between Vitamin D deficiency and MS. Most MS cases occur in the far north and far south climes. Think of southern Australia and Tasmania and northern Europe and United States, areas where sunshine is at low levels for as much as nine to ten months out of the year. We are able to make Vitamin D via sun exposure on the skin, which for humans, is a primary source of Vitamin D. Some of these studies find that people who had high levels of sun exposure as children greatly reduces their risk of contracting MS.
Don't believe me? Read these studies. There are tons more just like them, confirming the suspicion.

I can't wait to see what the pitch is gonna be like. I predict a beanball to the tune of several million $$ in the plaintiff's favor.

Find and join your local Linux Users Group. Start here on GNU.org's List of Linux User Groups and see what you can find. Most of everything I know from Linux is either:
1. What I learned from my local LUG
2. What I learned from my best friend, the Linux Guru
3. What I learned from reading a multitude of books and websites
4. Through classwork at the local business college with a Linux-friendly IT program
