This is just proof of the prophecies of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. It is well known that The Conspiracy has been fucking with the clocks for centuries (look at the shifts they've made in the calendar in centuries past). More proof that the Xists will one day come and rescue those who have paid their $30 for a seat on the escape vessels.
Really, man. I've got four machines in my bedroom, running 24/7. When I go out of town for any reason and have to sleep in a strange room, the missing noise keeps me awake.
Is this really a problem for some people? Like, don't they have anything better to worry about than a bit of added ambient noise? To me, the noise goes with the territory. If you don't like the noise, find another job/hobby.
Sure, but is any of the stuff available under CC popular and getting lots of airplay on the airwaves? Is it something that people know and will listen to regularly?
I like the idea that another poster came up with: Downloading music, even the pirated stuff, is like a try-it-before-you-buy-it deal. I hate buying a CD only to find out I got one or two songs for my $17. If I can download the album to see if it's worth the expense before plonking down that $17, I'm more apt to buy it on CD if the music is all good.
What irked me about this whole deal is that BitTorrent servers don't actually *contain* the songs, they refer to users who house the songs on their own PCs. It's not the BitTorrent server operators who should be sued, because their servers can refer both to pirated and free music. The music industry should go after the users who are the ones trafficking in the pirated stuff.
so, what's wrong with JoeISP who implements firewall devices into the DSL/cable modem equipment? Seems to be the easiest fix, though it's costly to the ISP, and I can see where only companies like SBC, Comcast, et al would be able to afford it. In the end, though, it will thwart this type of zombie nonsense. I see it everyday. Joe Luser hooks his XP SP1 pc to the internet, wonders why it performs slow and keeps throwing popups in his face, but lives with the problem because he doesn't want to pay the expense of having a pro out to figure out why it's doing what it does.
Rock on. I'm a very spur-of-the-moment type of person. I know where I need to be and when by memory, and I rarely forget. What I don't get are people who stay constantly busy. Why not just sit down and take a break for a while, vegetate on the couch, read a good book, chill out, SLACK OFF??!
Sure, in about 50-100 years, when we send the first manned missions to Mars, they'll get to our probe landing sites and find the microbes have turned into huge slug-like creatures, just like in Star Trek: The Search for Spock.
However, turning Mars back into a living world may not be possible. Most tectonic activity that fuels this planet is gone from Mars. I don't believe there are any active volcanoes, and it is likely that Mars will remain a dead world. No internal heat == No possibility to put a proper atmosphere in place. Sure, you could try to dump gasses on the planet. Will it work? I don't think so.
In most cases, I'd think that most authors would note their identity when writing code that is open-sourced under GPL. After that, how difficult is it to figure out?
There really isn't a story here. Anything but the single fact that these two guys met about something, and Gates got asked for comment. He didn't say anything to clarify, confirm or deny.
All we know is that Ballmer and Szulik sat down and chewed the fat. We don't know what they spoke about, and we don't know what the topic was. Hell for all we know, they discussed underwear preferences (tighty-whities vs boxers).
This article mischaracterizes how SPEWS works completely. SPEWS does not communicate actively. The only form of feedback one can gain is through their listings and from their website. Otherwise, SPEWS has said nothing since it's inception, has been represented by no one (no one except the denizens of news.admin.net-abuse.email, and then only from a third-party viewpoint), and will probably continue to say nothing.
What's really happened is that TeleWest, like many other cable and dsl providers, has had their users overrun with zombie trojans and depite being informed of the problem appear to be doing nothing to solve the problem. Meanwhile millions of spam emails are being spewed from the zombies occupying their network. In the absence of any apparent effort by TeleWest/BlueYonder to do anything about the zombie problem, SPEWS has simply blocked their IP Addresses, not email addresses.
When TeleWest/BlueYonder start taking steps to get the infected zombies off their network, notifying the machine owners that they will not be allowed back on the 'Net until they clean up their fscking machines, then I'd think the SPEWS listing could be lifted. Similar situations are happening at several providers: Comcast, WideOpenWest, SBC, Verizon, and others.
This really is nothing new. All a network has to do to keep off the SPEWS list is to stop the flow of spam from their IP addresses, no matter the source--be it zombied windows boxen, spammers operating directly from their netspace, or other circumstances.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
No, it seems to your ignorant legal eye that you'd give away someone else's property without abiding by the license they set as the terms for you to use their software.
In other words, if you take my work, which I released freely under the GPL, make changes and additions to it, then attempt to charge a fee for the entire product that includes code belonging to both of us, or release it under another license other than the GPL, you're in violation of the GPL, full of shit and should die from a horrid disease.
If you decide to create your own software, you're as free as ever to have it interact with my software, and can license the resulting code that you wrote under any license you wish, *as long as it does not contain my original code*. You can charge whatever the market will bear for your own original code. No one is forcing you to do anything, except *to not use my free software as the basis for your business*.
Really, with these hardheaded types, you have to explain it to them like they were 4-year-olds. It's like playing, "Daddy, what's that?" all over again.
Hopefully with those three clues, we can end the stream of articles wondering what this whole thing is all about.
Also, when PJ's writing, she tends to group things together in order to save herself time. I don't think the filing of the 10Q for FY2005Q1 merits its own article, nor does the motion re: SCO wanting to depose IBM's CEO Sam Palmisano, who I'm certain knows nothing at all about the Linux track that IBM has taken.
You can find summarization of the whole fiaSCO right here.
An ex parte motion to adjourn refers to a motion by one party in the case, without consultation nor agreement with the other party, requests the court to delay the hearing for a period of time for whatever extenuating circumstantial reason (in this case, simply to delay having to show the code in question and to avoid having it ripped to shreds by the Linux community).
IOW, SCO is trying to delay this case yet again for no good reason other than to keep the FUD flying.
Google on long-arm statutes. Yes, it's legal, possible, and probable that if you sit on your computer in Michigan and send spam into Virginia, you can and will be prosecuted. It worked in Verizon v Ralsky.
Okay, how about court-ordered employment for the guy. For the rest of his life, he has to work as a mail carrier on a walking route, making the lowest possible wage a mail carrier can make. He can work like that until he's delivered 140 million pieces of mail.
What you've misunderstood here is that you have options that you've not even considered. Route your mail through another mail server, whether it belongs to your ISP or not.
I'm running mail service on a machine connected via cablemodem at home. That IP is on many DUL blocklists. For the ISP mail servers that have me on blocklists, I've contracted with a friend to allow me to smarthost through his mail server. A simple transport map in postfix to route anything that bounces through his server solves that problem.
In some instances, sure it's a pain in the ass to send a message, watch it bounce, alter my rules, then resend but again, I'll tell you, thank the spammers.
I've used the same method to solve the same problem for customers of mine who are hosted on DSL or cablemodem and included on DUL blocklists. $10/month satisfies my friend in those instances, and my customers are happy as clams.

Hilarious. Godwin, Godwin, Godwin. Is that all you can refer to is how the Nazi's operated when thinking of blocklists?
I have an email server. I like to get mail. I don't like to get spam. I consult several lists of known IPs that have sourced spam when a machine connects to my server to decide whether I maintain the connection and receive the mail or not.
Note one key operative phrase throughout that last paragraph: "My server." My personal property. I'll run it any damned way I please, thank you. The blocklist you don't want to get on is my private one, the one that works on the same basis as many Ronco products: "Set it.. and FORGET IT!!"
If you find yourself on a blocklist and unable to communicate with me via email, I have several suggestions:
Consult whois for my domain. There's a working email address, snail mail address, and telephone number. Call me. Drop me a line. Arrange to have your mail sent from a service that is not blocklisted.
I'm not really a prick in real life. Unfortunately, spammers have ruined the experience when it comes to email. If you're into righteous anger, I suggest you aim it in the right direction:
If it weren't for the damned spammers, none of this would be necessary.

Who's selling? Someone else? And I told you who is? So I should be incarcerated?
I'd hate to live in a country where that is the law. If I tell you who's selling, what crime has been committed?

Maybe you can tell me when the Xists are coming.

This one's scarier by far. My eyes cross every time I see that one.
Oh, don't worry, *someone* will pick MOG up... like a bad rash, she'll just keep comin' back.

And you know he didn't say something face-to-face to his employer how exactly?
I love self-righteous assholes, they always know everything about things they've never been witness to.
Neither am I, but I've done work for and with enough of them that I've picked up a few tricks.
