As the employer, they can probably fire anyone for any reason that is illegal.
But filters don't work. I worked at MSI during the development of CyberPatrol. You just can't keep up with the amount of porn on the internet. And of course, one of the other programmers who worked on it didn't implment proper coding techniques. He was fast, but sloppy. Why do you that was developped so easily.
The tactics and ethics of a hacker is a good thing. The tactics of an Apple lawyer is another.
They may be using the term "hacker" in the sense that the mainstream press has been using it -- not the actual definition of a hacker. Maybe they just don't know better.
Microsoft sued because they were the ISP. They did not sue because they received the spam. The I-CAN-SPAM act (passed by the scum in Washington) prevented individuals for suing spammers.
Individuals with states that have the laws that prohibit deceptive spam can sue spammers that use deceptive spam (check your state's laws).
If you want money, you can sue the spammers yourself if the law permits.
He may have just wrote it for himself and it just took off. I worked with Ratko Tomic, who wrote an assembly language library to replace the standard libraries for MSC and Turbo C. He added functionality to make it easy to make TSRs. It was faster and smaller the the compiler's libraries. He wrote it for another person, so that he would not have to deal with triavial user interface code. It was turned into a product. Maybe it was the same for Dan.
That is exactly my point. I could write a better one too, if I had spare time. Contracting full time and suing spammers take more than 200 hours a week. So many spammers to sue, so little time.
This can work both ways. If your employer controls your time outside of work, injuries outside of work may become work related. I made this argument, that since my computer work at home was subject to their possession (standard inventions/non-disclosure agreement said it is their unless they didn't want it). Then my tendinitis, even off duty, was compensatible under workers comp. BTW. I believe in California, an employer cannot punish you for legal off duty conduct.
Instead of a joke, you can comment on the driving of that person -- "If you want to site see, get off the damn road!" Or "if you want to talk on the phone and drive, make sure that you have a functioning synapse."
Yeah, you are right. We need to implant everyone with an RFID chip. Legal citizens and residents, and legal tourists. Then we can track everyone's movements. If you don't have one, you are illegal, so we put in a cell for an enemy combatant until you can prove that you are here legally and that you have no intent on harming the USA.
You only have to worry if you come here to commit crimes or acts of terrorism. Why shouldn't we surgically implant RFID or use non-removable collars that contain RFID? That way any government official can tell when they are here illegally. We could also track their movements by installing a sensor network -- then when they say they are going to stay with someone, we can verify it is true. If they are arriving as a student, we can confirm they are at school.
This is only done to protect us. It only hinders the bad people. The government is only here to protect us.
Yes, but 16 hours is not the same as no power. This is not the same as a USB memory stick.
As long as a loss of power will cause data loss, then it is not good for anything except TEMPORARY storage. This of course gave me the idea of moving some of my spam folders to a ram device so that I may process them for identification strings.
We already have most of that -- a ram disk. If power fails on this device, the contents are gone. The does make it a little more compatible, but why not let the system operator configure the 4gb of ram in an optimal way for their usIie -- cache v. ramdisk v. application space, etc. I have seen some ram disk/cache software that will reduce the cache space when more ram disk space is configured.
I have been trying to find the old innoval guys to get the source for Post Road Mailer, so I could fix and upgrade it. When they dropped J Street Mailer, they ended up providing source code and it became Polar Bar Mailer.
Now this is funny. Many websites, written by piss poor web designers, tell you to upgrade your broswer to internet exploder. At least now, you have a reason to tell someone to upgrade without having to keep from laughing when you call it an upgrade.
There is a difference between you beating your neighbor over the head with a baseball bat because he was accused of a crime then him being locked up after a trial.
I wonder, would a spammer be treated the same way in prison as a child molester?

Can we get his cellmate's names and addresses? I would like to send his cellmate's some penis enlargment pills and cialis softtabs.

This has already happened. The union on the Santa Fe railroad has done this quite a while back. www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,42971,00.html
Think of spammers as Harcourt Fenton Mudd.

We need no stinkin user interface. REAL PROGRAMMERS don't need no stinkin user interface.

If it is not hard, you can always write a better one -- but it would be TomDNS.
The same person also does Qmail Rocks. Of course djbdns and qmail is much more secure than bind and sendmail.
The Can-SPAM act says that it has no effect on the ability of the ISP to filter deny the spammer the ability to use their system. (Section 8(c).).

And don't put in how much of a asshole your boss is and the other coworkers are, unless you want them to see it.
Don't appologize for your code, then promise to fix it later. I saw that done at one company, 3 years after the commenter have left.
It is called sarcasm.
No, I was trying to convince the government that they don't need 6 black helicopters watching me all day.
Sarcasm? Who me? What's that?

Far fetched? George Moore aka Dr. Fatburn tried this approach by filing criminal charges.
