    Let us know the client companies name and address.

  5. Secret of Mana! on SquareSoft to Develop for Nintendo Again · · Score: 2

    I personally would like to see a Secret of Mana sequel on Gamecube.

    FF is a great series but secret of mana sure is fun too. Especially if they beefed up the mutliplayer support some more.

    I've got a translated rom of SOM2 for an SNES emulator and it's great fun. I can't believe they never released it here. I guess they didn't have the time or resources to put into it.

  6. The poor guy is color blind and doesn't even know! on Iris Indigo Case Mod · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    That case doesn't match the iomega casing.

  7. Software makers shouldn't be reliable... on Who Is Liable For Software With Security Holes? · · Score: 2

    It's too much liability on small companies...

    Think about how many companies form as little one or two man shops that have great ideas.

    Sure they have bugs and security holes and hopefully they're fixed before any damage is done, but to sue a small shop a million dollars because you didn't test something you installed on production servers is a joke.

    Instead, you could pay another company to test your security all the way around including all software installed on a server.

    Also, if there were something that says the software maker is liable, open source should be exempt as everyone has the oppourtunity to review exactly what the code does or doesn't do.

  8. No way on Spam Slows AT&T Email · · Score: 2

    Do you seriously think that spam is coming from ancient linux distributions?

    No way... It's come from brand new machines with dual processors and half a gig of ram that are ready to process a LOT of email.

    These people aren't being exploited with open relays... Some are but most aren't. They're being paid to place open relays out there.

    What do they care, American businesses want to pay them to spam Americans. Many of them don't even like Americans anyway.

    Asian ISPs don't care or we would have heard from them by now.

    Blacklisting Asia is not such a bad idea. The biggest problem with blacklisting asia is all the people that won't unblacklist them if they get their problem fixed.

  9. So let me get this straight... on Walling off Asian E-mail to Prevent Spam · · Score: 2

    They are able to setup linux and configure sendmail and bind to add additional relays without instructions in their native language but they can't figure out how to turn them off or install a more recent version of sendmail??

    Something stinks like chinese fish!

    Thanks for the idea.

    Does anyone have an IP range that will block most of China?

  11. So it's going to cost me even more money? on Walling off Asian E-mail to Prevent Spam · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You want me to pay for a translator to contact a bunch of deadbeat sysadmins that aren't going to care if I complain or not because they leave their systems open to make money?

    Umm... No. If you know anyone that will translate to Chinese for free let me know. I'd like to send some explitives.

  12. Agreed on Americans And Chinese Internet Censorship · · Score: 2

    I'm really surprised the Chinese Government hasn't shut down freaking china-net. Does anyone have any evidence of any sort of steganography being used by the Chinese?

    I'm even more surprised that all the users of this site haven't put together some decent specs for a smarter email server. There are a couple of halfway solutions out there but we need something good. I guess I'll have to do it myself.

  16. I agree on Lindows Reviewed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Microsoft has now put security priority #1 and I don't know what that's worth, but I would bet that they're going to start getting away from running everything as "root" on the latest and greatest MS OS.

    Having Lindows log in as root and run everything as root is backwards. At a minimum, create users that have near root access but not EVERYTHING.

    It seems like the time spent developing this "piece of art" could be better spent writing documentation and GPL software to manage linux for dummies.

    Then there wouldn't even be a need to run Windows software.

  19. Give me a break... on Alan Cox to Leave if RH AOL Buyout Happens? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's just plain and simple narrowminded.

    I hate AOL as much as the next person, but for all you Netscape fans out there, if it weren't for AOL, netscape would not be around. (This would actually have been a blessing to those of us developing websites.)

    AOL has a lot of money. Who's to say that they won't offer Alan an agreement such as, "We won't interfere or tell you what to do, we'll simply keep paying your bills."

    Maybe even give Alan more resources than he currently has to get things done.

    I thought linux was suppossed to be for the openminded person who can think past windows. Shouldn't the development be the same way?

  20. This would mean all FBI source code would be open? on Should Public Funds Mean Public Code? · · Score: 1, Redundant

  22. I can't wait! on ICANN, National Registrars Still Feuding · · Score: 2

    If China sets up it's own root servers, I'll be the first to have my mail server do a lookup to see if the root server of the sender exists in China to block access.

  23. Why doesn't Cauce.org have any solutions posted? on Lawsuits Against Spammers · · Score: 2

    I submitted this to askSlashdot and it's also in my journal entries, but shouldn't cauce.org have some proposed solutions to ending the spam problem? As in, laws that they think would actually work to benefit consumers, or mail server specs that would actually work to stop spam?
