1) make money (or is spamming that easy?) 2) get my rc control car that gives me a reduced mortgage, life insurance and 'elongates' my love life:-)
More seriously, the education needs to be for the people who buy off these people. If people stop using the 'services' then the spammers will move onto some other way of making money.

well that's it, I'm off to desert to eat sand, the internet is dead:-)
Seem to be lots of issues with the idrive system. BMW's answer seems to be 'tough, what do you expect from a first generation system'. Of course this is just what I see from TV/newpaper articles, so it must be true;-)
In other news, try getting a service on an engine management system over 15 years old. Almost impossible. I think I'll go back to carbs:-)
I don't why Christians should condemn it, it will after all happen at some stage if you believe the Bible.
Just because it could now happen in their lifetime I don't see the problem. Heck the prophesies from the book of Revelation could start at anytime, so they'd better be ready. hmm maybe that's it...they haven't being doing what they can to live rightly before God and believe 'they' need more time, rather than relyig on God's timing and adjusting themselves to this.
including installing FreeBSD 4.8, Exim 4.latest and MailScanner 4.24-5 and SA 2.6 with bayes. The longest bit was find enough Ham to train the bayes engine:-)
catches 99% of spam, more importantly in a month of live operation no false positives reported.. and that's with spam levels of around 75% of all external (inbound and outbound) email.
Interesting to note the reviewer needed help in installing Red Hat so I'd hardly say he's the sort of person you want installing a *nix based application anyhow.
Obviously missed the bug in testing - therefore the testing wasn't adequate.
This is one this I like about the extreme programming methodogies, it expounds testing to start with. Like security, it shouldn't be bolt on the the whole development process, but an integral part.
quite possibly, but those of us outside the USA don't get squat with all the new services, or have to put up with a windows only facility.
hmm sees a business oportunity, if only the various RIAA type organisations around the world could be convinced about non-DRM implementations of this stuff. I mean it's a pain having to go via a couple of phono leads to put the material on a CD I play in my car (via cassette in my case so the quality drops).
I get just as good support from OSS (perhaps better) as I do for 'commercial' software.
I also tend to get bug fixes faster and mroe timely than I do from commercial software vendors.
Of course YMMV, but personnally I tend to find OSS offers a better quality of support all round. Sure I can't sue anyone, but then in the 10 years or so I've been using OSS I can't think of any reason why I would want to. Now if think of the times I'd like to through a shed load of lawyers at a commercial vendor (no, not necessarily M$)....
Perhaps its because it is a 'hobby' for alot of the OSS people, they take a greater pride in their work and become more emotionally attached to the work and therefore 'care' more about the product.
Slashdot Mirror
We use the AverTV Box3's at work to enable switching from video to laptop/dvd etc and trade shows.
Works wonders and means the plasma screens we hire only have to cope with one input (VGA or TV whichever)..
was pretty yuk. Alot better than r2.x which was hideous. Maybe just 'cos at the time 2.x and 3.x can out I was used to BSD varients.
:-) as ever.
I think the only thing Sys V did better at this time was the startup/shutdown procedure (rc1.d etc and the init scripts).
They want Sys V - they are welcome to it!
a big
Is is just me or is there something 'odd' about 2.6.0 being released on the same day 5.2 is expected to be finalised.
maybe a bit of friendly competition????
This is quite a good book on data centers..

Of course you prob should have read this first, along with the Practise of System and Network Admistration.....
Just a thought though..

crikey long term memory copes with that...
what else was around at the time -
Jeff's nude of the month
Amazon started...
free content and without registration!!!
About the time I started - welcome old timer...
A year on the internet is 10 years in real time...:-)
I wondered how many people would remember webcrawler....
/. - people who 'saw' the first demo of the first mouse back in the late 60's for example..
Mind you I've some quite 'mature' engineers here on
OK
:-)
webcrawler starts to suck
altavista goes static
google has problems with retricting searches (until recently try getting info on baseball in the UK!), bloggers etc
napster goes legit (but available only in the USofA)
MP3.com get bought by C-NEt and all the content 'gets lost'
now Jenni-cam is to be no more
well that's it, I'm off to desert to eat sand, the internet is dead
I stopped the beans - gut all better now :-)
Just using the bar as an example....
Try taking it back to the guy
:-(
Me: hey this console don't work
Guy: Tough - send it back to Sony
Sony; hey this is on list of stolen ones. - tough it's not yours bye.
me:
I usually see this kind of thing when the motherboard drivers aren't loaded. have you tried updating the drivers (copy with DOS on the HDD!)
Did these machines work then all of a sudden not, or DOA?
Of course is all started with password sniffing.
The issue - clear text passwds bad.
of course it could have been an inside job...ie someone with valid access to the box who then sniffed a passwd to disguise what was going on..

works very well and is designed for this kind of thing.
BTW - weekly backups!!!! daily surely?
testing is the issue.

just my 2 pence worth...
Well if they gave us value for money, then yes. Perhaps they'll consider dropping the prices then huh?
The problem isn't so much the spammers, it's the people buying from them.
If people didn't buy the spammers wouldn't have a market and would go away.
The issue is to educate the general internet populus that are are merely encouring the spam by purchasing from the advertisers.

Persoannly I'd like the man justify his claims
