I live in a small town of 200,000 people in the United States. When I checked several years ago, the library had a large selection of documentaries and a small selection of MPAA films. I would have to browse the stacks again to see if the character of Allen County Public Library's VHS holdings have changed significantly.
Though I have never administered an MTA, I'm guessing that handling bounce messages generated by popular MTA programs (postfix, sendmail, exim, qmail) should be enough for now.
DVDs that you buy in the stores are pressed (instead of burned), so by definition they all end up having the same image.
It's possible for stamped DVDs to include up to 188 bytes of individual data in the Burst Cutting Area. To get an idea of what BCA markings look like, turn over a GameCube disc and look for a fine 1.2mm wide "barcode" that overlaps the inner edge of the data area. Though DVD Video does not use the BCA, the forthcoming DVD HD Video specification may require decoders to read decryption key and serial number information from the BCA and add watermarks to the decoded picture.
it is a bug if it decides to put quotes that I never asked for around the phrase
It's a feature, which you can turn off in alltheweb.com's preferences. It is turned on initially because most web users don't know as much about how to work a search engine as the typical Slashdot user knows.
If salon.com was paid by Renault to put their ad on all pages
Does this happen? First of all, few advertisers seem to buy "run of site" web advertising anymore, as it's not nearly targeted enough. Second, there is usually more than one advertiser buying space on a given web site, so Renault isn't going to get every impression served. If a subscriber can buy space on pages he or she is viewing, doesn't that make him or her an advertiser too?
SPF will not work for the null sender address
<> which mailer-daemons use. This is easy, though: you just have to take apart the bounce message and extract the original message that bounced. If the Message-ID is known, the bounce message is valid. If it's not a bounce message, it's spam. MTAs can do this, and MUAs can do this.
If you control your vanity domain's DNS to the point where you can add TXT records, you can authorize your ISP's mail server to send messages "from" your domain.
My attempt at a translation: If a spammer registers a throwaway domain and begins to spam with it, then automated anti-spam systems will discover an unusually large amount of spam coming from the domain and quickly add the domain to lists of known spammer domains.
It would probably cost well over $100,000 to move to a part of the United States served by a major residential high-speed Internet access provider with such a liberal use policy.
if any console released an SDK, they would beat the others overnight.
That would be PS2 and GBA, the top two non-PC game systems in the States. The PS2 console has Linux for PlayStation 2, and the GBA handheld has the unofficial DevKit Advance and a community around it. So the systems with publicly available development tools have the biggest market share, even if the relationship isn't exactly causal.
And assuming one were to piggy back it on DNS or some existing service, how would something like Verisign sitefinder fuck it up?
It is piggybacked on DNS, and it's done through TXT records that specify either "spf=allow" or "spf=deny". A confusion of A vs. NXDOMAIN, such as if VeriSign goes meddling again, seems not to affect the system.
Oh, that's it. I would borrow MPAA videos from the local public library, but last time I checked, it didn't carry a large selection of major studio motion pictures, not nearly as large as that of a typical video rental store. Perhaps it's changed in the past couple years and I should check again at both of the branches within walking distance of my home (I don't drive).
Disney made the Bono Act and bribed the U.S. Congress into rubber-stamping it. Disney helped in lobbying for the DMCA. I don't want to support Michael Eisner any more than I have to.

That is, splicing single frames of pornography into Disney films.
Who needs single frames? Many films distributed by The Walt Disney Company are rated R by the MPAA's ratings board because they contain whole scenes of nudity. Disney's Mumford and Disney's Full Frontal are far from being the only examples.
But I'm still not buying Mr. Eisner's crap, porn or no porn.
I, for one, am appalled by this overly aggressive product placement by 7UP.
Not 7 UP but Kotex.

Really? The way Slashdot views it is that subscribers buy back their pages' ad space at $5 per thousand impressions.
but you spit in its face because it has no effect on the null sender case?
I think Skapare wass trying to imply that the null sender case would quickly become the most common case should SPF become commonplace.
Legal characters in domain names are letters, digits, and the hyphen ... rfc1035
From the site:
For one thing, these DNS entries are not A or CNAME entries and do not name hosts.
So now I (Joe Spammer) connect to your SMTP server and deliver you some SPAM dressed up as a helpful undeliverable notification (i.e. a bounce).
From the site:
If you control your vanity domain's DNS to the point where you can add TXT records, you can authorize your ISP's mail server to send messages "from" your domain.
that would qualify as a felony
It's not illegal if you don't get caught, and it's not illegal if you do it offshore.

Where do you live?
And watch ISPs charge prohibitively for SMTP AUTH access from outside the network.
The conventional wisdom is that unlike the horrible Super Mario Bros. movie, Mortal Kombat didn't suck, although the sequel (Annihilation) did.

how many five year old games still have as active of a community as GPL?
How about the GNOME Games, which are published under GNU General Public License?
Would it even be economically feasible to sell a commercial PC game based on a copylefted engine but with a typical EULA on the assets?
I'd much rather see Bust A Groove or Bust A Groove 2 on there.
BaG sucks.

What kind of damages could one ever hope to get from a pirating suit.
Up to $150,000 per work, plus attorney's fees and court costs.

In other words: I'll wait for the video and rent it, just as I am doing with Finding Nemo , and I encourage anybody who respects the public domain to do the same.
Between the local radio stations and web radio, why pay?
Pay because commercial radio doesn't play many recordings by independent artists, and web radio isn't yet practical in a moving vehicle.
