Your working for a bunch of A$$H0LES running the company who care more about being sadistic to its employees rather than focus on customer satisfacation.
Start looking for a new job and when you get one, get revenge by quiting on the spot with out notice and leave them hanging dry.
Given the current political changes, do you find there are any political or even cutural hurdles? How do they affect your ability to bring Linux to Iraq?
Every year during my review as a manager, the same question comes up, what have I done to improve customer satisfaction. So anything you discuss that is negative, must result in decreased profits or decreased customer satisfaction. Thats the only two things that upper management understand. Efficiency, productivity, employee moral, means nothing to them. If you show a problem is affecting the bottom dollar or affecting the customers in a negative manner, they will listen.
One way to prevent the crap rolling down the hill is try to point out the catch 22.Show that both you and your managers are caught and that someone at the higher level is going to have to give the OK to take more drastic action to resolve the catch 22. So many times the bigger problem in resolving issues is that the responsibility lies in our hands but the authority lies in someone elses hands. Thats what creates a stress full situation.
Last, never get emotional about an issue. People who show calm in any situation will get more attention in the long run because they show control and confidence. Emotion is a negative thing in communications.
when they ask who you are.. LIE!!!!! Just bullshit them. If I get a call from someone I don't know on my cell phone I completely bullshit it. Make them pay a price for cost me money.
I was hoping the article would provide the reader with sufficient information to make an informed decision. The percentages are based on sucessfull attacks but fail to inform the reader what percentage of all servers in use for each OS were attacked.
According to Netcraft, the percentage of servers running Apache is about 62% in May (old but thats the fastest article I could find, Google for newer http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF -8&q=percentage+of+apache+web+servers )and the percentage of servers running IIS is 27%.
So naturally there will be more attacks on Apache than IIS, but also the percentages are in proportion the number of total servers, so it does not appear to be unbalanced.
Lastly if you take desktop OS as an example you have the same problem. There tens of thousands more virus and worms for Windows than for Linux, because Windows has the greater share of market for desktop OS.
Can anyone confirm who funded this report from mi2g Intelligence Unit?
What passes through the stadium air is not in the control of stadium owners, that belongs to the FCC. If they can ban people for using WiFi in the stadium then why not also ban cell phones? After all the stadium doesn't control that airwave either. They could then force everyone to use the expensive pay phones on site to make their calls.

My last paragraph did state it should allow consumers to sue the companies that hire spammers. The companies being those who are in the content of the spam message. If companies know that using spammers is too risky, and could get them suid, they will stop using them and then the spammers have no income to support their business(sic). Similar to the drug war, by stopping the columbian cartels, you stop the drugs at its source. This would drive them into unprofitability.
I regularly forward every spam I get to uce@ftc.gov and let him determine if the content is illegal and let them go after those people. They have the resources and manpower to stop the illegal offers.
As for the forged headers, many people have proposed replacing the email system with another system that would make it impossible or extremely difficult to forge headers. Until then we will have to use a combination of legislation and technology to combat the spam.
... open relays to start with. Thats the largest problem. Shut them off and it will stop a large amount a spam.
I agree with some of the statements that the second bill does not go far enough. It should be crime to forge any email headers and there should be mandatory jail time for anyone who forges a mail header.
And lastly the bills should allow consumer to sue those companies advertised in the spam. Make it too expensive for the companies to use that avenue and they will stop hiring these damn spammers.
Yea I have submited about 20+ items over the past year and all got rejected. Hell, odd movie reviews got accepted over my articles that were technology related.
I treat slashdot like a cat. Just a finicky old thing, that amusing to watch only.
I caught one anonymous post that its about time. The coward is absolutely correct. Writing by hand takes time and patience. But we have become a society comepletely lacking in it.
We as a generation have now force ourselves to squeeze more into our 24 hour days in order to meet someone else's expectations. Except for sleeping, we now do twice as much or more, to match up to Mr. Jones who owns a big house and dresses lavishly. Mr. Jones has made use feel guilty for not following his standards. He makes us feel guilty for not being individuals.
So we take shortcuts to save time here and there. Use a PDA or Voice Mail to communicate. Every tool has its place and none should complete replace the other. When we choose to take our time and no let our lives be dictated by the Jone's and CEO's of the world, then we can live in a more beautiful place.
.. as the article said we can countersue and get lots of information from them. If there is one common thread from past articles about these king spammers is that they all have a criminal background. Nearly all of them have spent time in jail for some felony or misdemeaner. If that information gets out, they loose their reputation as business people and loose business.
Although the point made in the article says that these spammers are all in Florida because of weak laws. It makes Florida sound like the porn capital of the US. I wonder what Disney thinks of that.
Hmm. Well ten-ton steel weights swinging around sounds a lot more dangerous, but fun. Actualy if this technology can generate power from vibration, this could solve much of the energy needs in California. Living in the midwest, I understand CA has earthquakes every day, almost. Many are too small to be felt by the individuals living there. They are detected by sensitive devices. Given they have many micro-earthquake, they could use that vibration to produce electrical power for many communities. Similar to how hydropower provided electrical generation for communities around the country many decades ago.
Well it was supposed to be a joke, but for the short article it was convincing. I really liked the part about no history of the guy before Dec 2002. The give away was the number of trades and how much he made. I don't see how he could have made hundreds of millions after only 126 trades. Did anyone caculate what kind of trades had to be made for that to happen. Also why trade long? If the market is doing so poorly, then he should have done better picking shorts and make it on the losses of others.
Forget the financial problems this has, what about personal safety?
If someone can gain entrance as John Doe, then they could gain entrance as Jane Doe. But with the intent of harming, raping, or killing someone. Whether its someone unknown or a jealous ex-boyfreind, the court should be focusing on the company that made this and forcing them to fix the problem instead of ignoring the danger it poses to students on campus.
Its been nearly 20 years since I was at college and I remember using a lock system were you had to remember the 5 digit key sequence to get into your room. Thats a hell of a lot more secure than this card system, and its 20 years old.
The best intermediate solution to the DMCA should add a provision that recognizes when violations of the DMCA poses a clear threat to the safety and security of people. Then later they can tear the whole thing down.
MIL: It doesn't work. ME: What does the screen say. MIL: It said something about a problem. ME: What problem. MIL: I don't remember I shut it off already. ME: Ok I will check it next time I am there.
You would think she would get out of the stone age and learn to use paper and pencil.
Next visit the machine boots no problem. OR it runs scandisk but I tell her I can't find any problem.
Running a personal email server I fully agree and sympathize with Mr. Shein. Since I run a personal email server, I have the luxury of blocking all IP address from Asia and South America from my sendmail port. This has reduced my spam by 70%. As significant portion of that is from China. But the large ISPs don't have this luxury.
How does Mr. Shein feel and address this portion of the Spam problem? Also he calls spam cyberterrorism, does he feel China, and other countries should be labeled terrorist?
I wonder how many polutants (i.e. mercury) and other toxins are getting dumped into that river. In a few years, slashdot will be posting news about 3 eyed fishes and three legged babies.

Otherwise, your screwed.
Not like we are overpopulated here in Wisconsin, they have to go clone more? Why not clone something more interesting and rare, like Linus Torvald.
when they ask who you are.. LIE!!!!! Just bullshit them. If I get a call from someone I don't know on my cell phone I completely bullshit it. Make them pay a price for cost me money.
Then you can ask them who they are...

No but I have lots of practice in Delta Force: Land Warrior. I just need to find where I can get the hardware.

If ringing vibration will recharge, what about just driving around in the car, or walking. Hmmm, I wonder what an earthquake would do that recharger?

MY mother-in-law always has the same problem.
MIL: It doesn't work.
ME: What does the screen say.
MIL: It said something about a problem.
ME: What problem.
MIL: I don't remember I shut it off already.
ME: Ok I will check it next time I am there.
You would think she would get out of the stone age and learn to use paper and pencil.

Evil but funny.
Best excuse I found is "I ran out of liability insurance. Try 1800-linux-help".
