Doesn't look free to me. Says $9.95 when I viewed it just now.
There are already plenty of white-list spam applications out there, most are GPL'd and easy as hell to setup.. Just go to sourceforge.net and search for spam + whitelist.
A friend of mine is a sysadmin at Vanderbilt University in TN. He said they can only place spam filters on client machines, and that no filtering is allowed on the receiving server whatsoever. I asked him why, and he said they believed it was unjust to assume that any message was unwanted by the users, that it was their choice alone to decide what was spam and what was not.. Pretty insane if you asked me.
When will all the famous musicians of the world realize how bad they're getting screwed by the recording industry?
A cheap pc plus some even cheaper recording software is all you really need. Add a webpage and simple e-commerce script to sell copies of the music, by the song or by the album.
I got plenty of friends who have told me in all honesty they would indeed buy digital music by the song online. Why do all the world's greatest musicians and bands think they need anyone? If the music is good, it will sell. Honest people will buy it.
All the musicians have yet to realize it's a whole new world now, they have to adapt to the capabilities of the internet. Resistance is futile as far as I can tell..
I followed your story for years man.. I hate that our government felt the need to make an example out of you and all. From everything I've read I think you probably did do some illegal shit, but I seriously don't think the punishment fit the crime.
So here's my question:
What do you plan to do so that all of the bad things that happened to you do not happen to other like you?
My home phone is already listed on my state's "Do Not Call" list, I'm in Tennessee. The problem is that we still get a lot of calls.
When we confront the caller about us being on the Do Not Call list, they almost always say that they are a "phone company" and that the list does not apply to them. How do I battle that kind of intrusion? I tell them that as they can clearly see I already have a phone, and to please not call me again.. click.
What's even worse than that is the other day we found ourselves unexplainably subscribed to MCI as our "new" long distance carrier. I have had an outgoing long distance block on my phone for going on 5 years now. I never make any long distance calls from my home phone, I always make those calls on my cellphone cause I get better rates. Who the hell is MCI to just up and subscribe me to a service that I already purposely block?

We use NetSaint + pagers for monitoring across the board, and as IT manager it is _already_ my responsibility to keep watch over all the company servers.
Bottom line.. if my site wasn't there on their rack for free, I'd be paying out of pocket for hosting elsewhere.
I have no idea what you mean about being a fall guy.. probably some bad childhood experience you're trying to repress. Or maybe you're a little jealous cause your company doesn't provide such perks to its IT staff. I dunno.. In the meantime, feel free to STFU.
I work for a profitable dot-com that didn't die in the dot-com bust. We, the IT team, are given the oppourtunity to have our servers on the same racks as our company servers. I run about 20-30K/sec constant average, all for free.

And to think, I'm still waiting for Ximian to release it's version of Gnome for RedHat 8.0.

Nah, my dropped routes are only temporary, I clean out
I only drop the IP itself.
Reporting it is futile in my experience. The attacker almost never uses their own IP.
People who scan my servers get their routes dropped. Why would I want to fool them for being fools and scanning my servers?

Simple.. cloning.
The cloned humans may only live 6 years or so, and may have serious health issues the entire time they are alive, but what the hell..
Sure beats _not_ playing God huh?
But why introduce a text-only version of utility software, anyway, when the GUI-fied desktop version has been maturing for years and costs less?
Or more to the point, why post the article at all?
That's what I got, a small router for NAT, and an actual firewall box right behind that that does yet another NAT for all my desktop machines.
I'll do dialup before I pay for multiple IPs or some other such folly.
That's just silly. Yes, daily tests everytime CVS changes are committed.
The kernel is no longer managed in CVS, it is in BitKeeper now.
So what, it's still slow as hell.
MySQL rulez!

Now _that_ was funny..
What about double jeopardy? Guess there is no such law there.

Still on hold with Network Solvent three years later on how the hell to transfer or delete a freakin HOST entry. Sigh.
I found it was easier to just make a new HOST and run with it.
Yeah that's prolly what stopped the Xbox from getting cracked.. NOT!
It's a 'Bible' type of book, so I'd say it can cover whatever breadth the author chooses..
What.. no M$ exploits to whine about today?
it's pretty bad.. i just tried it.. wasn't pretty.. core dumps.. errors spewing up the screen.. wait for the movie..
I wish Ximian would try and keep up. They still haven't released for RedHat 8.0 yet.

Phone companies suck.
Wake up and smell the coffee.. You've been throttled back to 120K/sec just like me and many other cable customers over the past year or two.

Thanks for the link, a very good read. I'd +mod this post if I had mod points today.
