Spammers have already started using the secondary MX. I'm seeing maybe 1/4 of my spam coming in through the secondary MX in the past few weeks. Now I know why.
My domain whose DNS is hosted at everydns.net suffered briefly during this attack, but I didn't see any major problems. All the mail came through, for instance.
It seems like people rediscover the same techniques over and over and over without even bothering to do a simple Google search to find out if things have been done before.
I block about 90% of submitted spam using Bad Behavior. I'm working on the other 10%...
Some of us are standing up and doing something, by moving to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project, and working to restore liberty to the state and become a shining example of freedom in this less-than-free country.
Encrypting your whole disk on Linux is somewhere between a minor pain and a complete nightmare. Support for it doesn't even exist on certain high-profile commercial distros (Red Hat) which you would THINK would have had it long ago because it's something their customers would want.
I had to put together my own unofficial packages to get an encrypted root filesystem on Fedora Core 5. (And then it broke on FC6, so no upgrading yet...) In theory, the support will officially be in Fedora Core 7, but there's still a bunch of code to be written between now and then.
Mod parent up...
I love these CIFIP guys. They basically are saying: "We want you to run your business OUR way, and if you don't, we'll get the guys with guns (the state) to MAKE you run your business OUR way."
They act as if they didn't have a CHOICE or the ABILITY to protect their own privacy, both of which they do in abundance.
Maybe this will finally wake up Silicon Valley and they'll finally get the hell out of the People's Communist Democratic Republic of Kalifornia. There are much better places, even in the U.S., for the tech industry to be located.
As I said in my own post about this yesterday (which somebody ripped off) it's security theater. All this is meant to make people feel safe, not to make them actually safe.
Microsoft forgot to mention my non-content based method of blocking comment spam entirely known as Bad Behavior. And now that they seem to have swiped a few of my ideas, I'm going to have to go see what they're up to...
I was going to update my nofollow story from a year ago, but it seems nothing's changed -- except that blog spam has dramatically increased. Which anybody could have predicted -- and most people who thought about it for more than a second actually did.
Nofollow was a hare-brained idea from the start, cooked up over a couple of apparently drunken (or perhaps stoned) nights between developers at Google, Yahoo! and MSN.
Looks like you took at least one of those quotes out of context. Here's the context:
If you're a developer looking for a flexible way to test your application in multiple environments, you'll probably want to go with either Virtual PC or VMware Workstation. If you want to use Linux as your host OS, you'll definitely have to go with VMware.
Virtual PC doesn't run on a Linux host, so you'll definitely have to go with VMware.
That AP article is full of errors, some of which I commented on yesterday. For instance, it happened twice this month. And those 30-year cookies are still around until you go and remove them...
The satellite may well be in the Pacific Ocean. The ARRL is reporting the satellite went silent.
The Student Space Exploration and Technology Initiative (SSETI) Express satellite, sent into orbit from Russia October 27, has gone silent. "We have not heard anything from Express on UHF since last night when the telemetry seemed to indicate a very negative power budget," Graham Shirville, G3VZV, said on the AMSAT BB as he was departing Russia following the launch. "If it does not recover then it will be a sad end to a wonderful mission." Shirville said ground controllers were going to attempt a blind command of the satellite this weekend in an effort to revive the satellite, which carries an Amateur Radio package and three CubeSat picosatellites. The spacecraft had been transmitting AX.25 telemetry at 9k6 bps on 437.250 MHz. Shortly after this week's launch, Shirville had reported the satellite was in nominal mode, producing 9k6 data bursts every 18 seconds. Plans call for the satellite will be turned into a single-channel amateur FM voice Mode U/S transponder after the transmitter serves initial telemetry duty.

Michigan has a similar law and a similar list, though I don't think Unspam runs it. I could be wrong about that.
You completely forgot to mention the absurdity of taxing the poor to build a spaceport for the rich.
Then again it seems that the Democrats are supporting taxing the poor to provide these billionaires some welfare.
Let's call it what it is: extortion. If you or I were to do it, we'd face long prison sentences. But when Menino does it, he gets a round of applause.

Hey, I'm getting 0.6KB/sec! Whose bright idea was it NOT to put this up on BitTorrent anyway?

Maybe the book really is that good....... or maybe not.

It depends somewhat on where all that data goes, how people are screened, etc.
I did a bit of digging into this story yesterday, and found it's at least partially true, but he missed the really good stuff.
...since the site is already dead.

Everytime I've used ReiserFS, some of my files have gone missing. I think they're dead.

Wasn't multicast IP supposed to solve this problem? Good thing it's built into IPv6...

Let's not mince words. This isn't "like" terrorism.

There's another good collection at http://www.techtales.com/tftechs.html .
And this is why GUIs are slow and bloated. Give me a lean, mean, fast GUI, please!

Well, I can't read the article because the server it's on is currently on fire, but I can say I found the parent quite amusing.
I think that just about says it all. But since the parent "ape" mentioned the start menu...
7-Zip, Accessories, Adobe, AVG Free Edition, BitComet, FileZilla, GIMP, Last.fm Player, mIRC, Mozilla Firefox, QuickTime, Real, Rio, Soulseek, Startup, UltraISO, Weathercast, Winamp, WinRAR, X-Chat 2, Adobe Reader 7.0, Google Talk, Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player
Accessories, Games, Graphics, Internet, Office, Preferences, System Tools, Help
Now you tell me which is better organized?
