It's a database that identifies high-volume email sources. So you could say Senderbase is pretty much neutral.
These are also the people who came up with Bonded Sender - a whitelist with an economic incentive to keep senders honest. So they're hardly new to the anti-spam world.
The controversy seems to be over IronPort's hardware: they sell mail servers. Big friggin' whoop.
I just checked the kernel-source package, and Fedora Core 1 already contains the patch. No word on RH 7-9 yet, but they're all still supported right now, so I'd expect to see something soon.
[Michael Johnson] talked with the legal counsel at red hat and got the following info.
- the fedora.info people haven't tried to take a number of steps to work
it out - they've taken none
- fedora.info was only using f.e.d.o.r.a as an acronym -not as a
trademark
- only after the rh trademark filing did fedora.info assert a trademark
- rh had previously informed uva and cornell that rh would not interfere
with their continued use of the fedora trademark.
- the fedora has been associated with red hat ever since the shadowman
logo was adopted.
Add this to the fact that fedora.redhat.com used to include a statement thanking Cornell and UVA for cooperating in the new name choice (it's gone now), and it sounds to me like F.E.D.O.R.A. just got ticked off that people were asking Fedora Core questions on their mailing lists.
Farscape was supposed to have 5 seasons. Sci-Fi backed out halfway through a 2-season contract at the end of Season 4.
Since they had a contract for two years (seasons 4 and 5), they wrote their story arcs expecting to have those two years. They were halfway through when the axe fell.
It's kind of like if Tolkein had been forced to stop at the end of The Two Towers.
"Star Trek, Star Wars, B5, and Farscape are all not true sci-fi"
This reminds me far too much of the prevailing opinion by critics (and, let's face it, much of the general public) that science fiction is not true literature.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't Vader, or even the Emperor, who arranged to or gave the order to destroy Alderaan. It was Grand Moff Tarkin, a high-ranking military officer - but not a Jedi.
Here's my take on the Jedi situation. The Force is out of balance. The Jedi have gotten so tied up in their dogma that they can't see their greatest enemy sitting across the room from them, can't consider that their archives may have been altered, etc. Anakin will (a) wipe the slate clean as Darth Vader, and (b) contribute to the generation (Luke & Leia) who will start the Jedi order over again.
"P3P has absolutely no Application-Server/Scripting support.... The problem is, that the GET Request is absolutely the same, it doesn't matter if the user is logged-in or anonymous."
Depends on what you consider "failure" - Covad's still operating months after declaring bankruptcy restructuring, and they plan to stick around for a very long time.
Given that I know less about cable networks than I do about DSL, I'd say the structure - local ISPs reselling Covad DSL, compared to local cable companies reselling Excite@Home - is similar, but until recently there were several large DSL networks being used (Northpoint, Rhythms, etc.) Covad gets to be the last one standing, at least for a while.

Actually, this change just puts them on more-or-less equal footing with eBay's own payment system. You can still accept credit cards as an individual with a PayPal account, you just can't do it for free.
Am I annoyed at the change? Yes. But at least they haven't blocked me out completely. All they're doing is taking a cut - same as eBay does.

Serving WAP Pages?
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
If you have a recent version of Apache, you might already have these in your mime.types file. If you intend to serve any static content, you'll need at least these mappings:
WAP sites are generally regular HTTP servers. The end-user's device contacts a gateway which then makes an HTTP request, compiles the data if it hasn't been already, and sends the compacted version on to the device.
So it is actually possible to serve static WAP content using nothing more than the base Apache distribution and some added MIME types.

A recent post on the fedora-legacy mailing list makes the following points (emphasis added):

Also enlightening.

The above post was quoted entirely from the Los Angeles Times. At least they credited the reviewer (Kenneth Turan).

Chairface, and "Spoooon!" are from the comics, so I have no idea why they couldn't use them (based on the explanation given)
