Yeah right. All the people with Alphas as desktop PCs who are gaming fanatics and use their Alphas to play all the latest games, please put your hand up.
Right. I've finished counting you. I counted half a hand, but I think that was just a guy with a broken arm who couldn't put it all the way down.
Seriously, you must be some kind of weirdo if you think people are going to support all the platforms that run Linux. Think yourself lucky that decided to support ANY linux platform.
I bet you also start up that "It's not Linux. It's GNU/Linux" crap whenever possible...
1) Linux users are soon to outnumber Mac users. See here for a Mac user's take on this.
2) Since OS-X is based on BSD, making a Linux OR Mac version of an app is doing most of the ground work for the other anyway. If you're going to go after one minority market, why put in another 5% effort and go after the other as well?
Fine then. Stick your head back in the sand. It's far easier to thump your chest and call yourself freedom-fighters than admit that you are wrong and your foreign policy stinks worse than George Bush's arse.
It's the end of capitalism. The US corporate complex has cut costs by outsourcing, downsized, and generally f*cked people and each other over to the point where its largest customer base (i.e., the US consumer, corporate and non-) can no longer afford to buy its products. Because of this, deflation is becoming a very probable result. Once the housing market collapses under the weight of refinace-happy consumer debt, it's all over, baby. But I digress...
Ha! Unfortunately it's not going to be that easy. You see the world is full of 'terrorists' and 'drug havens' and 'secretive regimes' that are ripe for the picking. I'm pretty sure that the US can keep their corrupt, greed-driven cess-pool they call an economy going indefinitely simply by invading another country every few years, stealing their natural resources and loaning the locals loans that they can never pay back for 'reconstruction' that wouldn't have been needed if it weren't for the damage caused by the 'shock and awe' / 'fuck 'em all' tactics to begin with. It's worked for 100 or so years so far...
Actually it's been doing surprisingly well:) I don't pay for uploads ( thank God ). Any I'm on a 256 / 64 ADSL account, so really it's only uploads that get affected in any noticable way. Check out what Webalizer makes of the traffic. I haven't been hit so hard since last month when I posted links to Freecraft after it was pulled:)
We are a private company and we have a mail server. We refuse to accept ANY incoming connections from networks that have had spammers on them at one point. What is anyone going to do to stop us from firewalling them?
It's like saying that someone's going to sue me for putting my hands over my ears when I hear them talking about how good George fucking Bush is. I know they're wrong. I'm sick of hearing about him. I refuse to listen further.
As for posting the list, I am not forcing anyone to use it. I'm simply stating a fact: these addresses spammed us, and that you can use the script provided to blacklist the networks involved. If people download it and use it, that's not my problem.
It's like me saying that Nike products are made in sweat shops and people should buy them because they are supporting a company that believes in slave labour. I'm only stating facts. If people stop buying Nike products because of what I've said, then surely Nike is the cause of that, and not me - I'm only spreading facts.
As for the 'innocent' personal on a network that has had a spammer on it and is now blacklisted... yeah that can happen. It doesn't really concern me. If people use the ip list I provided, then they do so with the knowledge that this is not a science, but an art - just like the rest of fighting spam. People using it also know ( as has been pointed out by me and several others now ) that nothing of worth comes out of Korean / Taiwanese / Chinese computers. It's quite common practice for people to blacklist the Asia / Pacific completely to rid themselves of Asian script kiddies, spammers, and other arse-wipes.
As for there being 'absolutely no excuse for striking back against computers on the other side of the world'... yeah I agree with you, apart from if they started it:)
They can bite me. I've got logs to show that they spammed me. If they take me to court, I'll counter-sue for double the amount they're claiming, consisting of:
a) Trespassing on private property b) Bandwidth c) Harassment and mental anguish
I'll also punch them in the face on the way out of court.
for I in `cat/etc/firewall/spammers.txt` do
echo Blacklisting Spammer: $I/23
iptables -A INPUT -s $I/23 -j REJECT done
to blacklist them.
I personally guanantee that all the addresses in this list have spammed me. If you don't believe / trust me, fine - don't use it. I use it on a production server and have never had any complaints...
By the way, the/23 in the iptables might be too 'clumsy' for some. You can use/24 which blocks a smaller group of computers around the ip address in the list./23 works fine for us.
The list is 98% asian dsl accounts.
Also, for an alternative solution, try this:
smbclient -L $IP_ADDRESS
where $IP_ADDRESS is the address of the computer that spammed you.
If you're in luck, you'll find yourself connecting to a Windows computer. It'll ask you for a password. Hit enter. If you're still in luck, it will list the available shares, and a list of server names. Pick a server name. If there are more than one, try each one;)
Now, download and compile 'smbdie'. Search for it on google. Run:
smbdie -i $IP_ADDRESS -p 139 -t $SERVER_NAME
where $SERVER_NAME is the server name you just picked from smbclient's output ( above ). If you are still in luck, you will have rebooted the spammer's computer ( it blue-screens ), and maybe even caused some data loss.
Really don't like them? Add the smbdie command to a cron job. I've found most spammers have fixed ip addresses, and they become available to reboot again withing approximately 2-3 minutes.
Looks like people using.NET / IIS / SQL Server will just have to deal with it not being particularly fast.
The poster will probably claim they can't recommend open-source solutions because they will loose business. In response, I say: you have the wrong customers. If, for example, I set myself up as a Hyundai dealer, I have to accept that the Hyundais I sell are not going to be very fast, or very reliable, or very high quality. Sure customers may come back and say "Why doesn't this car perform more like my friend's Honda?". The answer obviously is that they bought cheap shit and now have to deal with it. Maybe if I tell customers this will go elsewhere. Too bad. I chose to sell Hyundais. I knew what I was getting into.
Solution: stop selling shit. SQL Server for high performance? Right. IIS for people spending 30k? Is that really wise? You *DO* know about the security issues, no? Developing for an unproven, shape-shifting.NET platform? Hmmmmmmm. You're in a bit of a bind, then...
This is one of the many contradictions of the western capitalist system. Everyone claims that we should let 'market forces' take care of who produces item X and who can afford to buy item Y. The problem is that 'market forces' includes bribes, extreme political pressure and military intervention.
About a year ago, I decided to practise what I preach and tried to buy some clothes that were made in Australia. Anyone who has made a similar decision will know what I found: there are NO clothes made in Australia. There are plenty made in Chinese & Indonesian sweat shops. There is no consumer choice. If there were, those companies who offered it would discover what it meant to be bankrupt rather quickly, as people would avoid their higher prices like the plague. The point is that the so-called empowered consumers have NO choice in the matter - it is all decided by multi-national corporations, and rubber-stamped by corrupt politicians all around the world.
Back to the article...
You think companies will employ programmers at a premium of 5 times what they can get elsewhere? Some will. Very few. Good old 'market forces' will send most people to sweat shop programmers. And do you think your government will step in and fight for the rights of foreign citizens and demand they get decent working conditions? I didn't think so. Probably it would be impossible anyway, as the foreign citizens' government is too busy paying off loans for weapons of mass destructions to the World Bank, or too busy trying to deal with the social problems caused by the IMF's 'recommendations' that the backbone of the country is privatised.
Thinking of responding with some mindless name-calling? I'll get you started. I'm a left-wing radical. I'm a stupid mindless hippie. I'm a fucking communist. Whatever. At least I've made some observations about why our world is so fucked up. Try to address these issues. That's the point here. To discuss the problem, not call each other names.
There is an incredibly long-standing issue with large attachments causing Mozilla to hang.
There are multiple issues with a large number of attachments, which generate ( excessively complex command ) error messages.
There are compatibility issues with.maildir IMAP mail servers - Mozilla doesn't understand their folder heirarchy and screws everything up.
There are issues with Mozilla opening a new connection for just about every action, causing many IMAP servers to start issuing 'too many concurrent connections' type error messages.
Mozilla's IMAP code is badly broken, and I'm sorry I converted all our work PCs to use IMAP, because now the problems are flooding in, and the only way to solve it is to move people back to POP3.
But to be fair, we can't really expect Americans to put down their weapons and clean up their own backyards. It's far easier and more profitable to continue on the current path of economic supremacy via military supremacy. Not to mention the fact that both major parties are merely slightly different shades of black. The US 'democracy' is a sad joke of an auction. Both parties for example supported the 10-year + trade sanctions on the Iraqi people which prevented them from buying food and basic medial supplies. And I didn't see the opposition questioning Baby Bush's famed evidence of "Weapons of Mass Destruction (tm)' or any other part of the criminal endeavour. The puppets can't take all the blame, though. How about the media? Just heard that your real-life story of 'saving private ryan' had been 'modified' to suit the political aims of the CIA - ie instead of reporting that the girl was injured in a car accident, the story was spread that she was taken by Iraqi soldiers while fighting them off, and had to be rescued. But what good is news without a little stretching of the facts?
So yeah. Go USA! Lead us into yet another slaughter of innocents. And this time with shiny new aircraft carriers. That'll teach 'em to defend their rights, homeland and children!
WTF is this world coming to? No wonder people turn to drugs...
I've been running a 2.4 kernel since the 2.4-test ones ( I think that's what they were called ) and I have never had any need to rush out and upgrade to the latest version. Sure... when a newer version comes out I will upgrade for the heck of it, but seriously, if it wasn't for the ability to cat/proc/version, most Linux users wouldn't have a clue what minor or major version they were running.
So the vm stuff was ripped out half-way through. Did it cause any problems for end users? I didn't notice. If anyone is running a Linux box that is under so much load that they did notice, then maybe they should have upgraded their hardware. It gives me images of someone fanging their VW beetle down the road at 180km/h and complaining that the new suspension seems a little rougher than the old one.
I've read some examples of 'my sis motherboard craps out when I do this' or 'my oh-so-cheap raid controller doesn't like it when the kernel does this'. These are drivers people! They can't be considered a core part of the kernel. You can't brand a kernel unstable because someone's obscure, 5-year old POS hardware's drivers haven't been updated in years. Buy some real hardware. See above point. I challenge anyone with regular ( ie I can walk down to the local computer store and buy one because it's in production and regular use now ) hardware to tell me what problem they've had with any 2.4 kernel.
Funny thing is that most people bitching about the supposed instability of early 2.4 and 2.6 kernels most likely upgraded to them as soon as they came out ( just like me ) and bragged to all their Windows-using friends about how stable and fast etc their new kernel is. It's only on Slashdot where it's cool to whinge about how people can break kernel-x just by xxxxxx that they change their tune. And how many of the complainants actually submitted a bug report? MMMmmm?
Companies are not collections of people. They are collections of capital. They act without conscience. They behave in a distinctly anti-social manner.
I am not trying to force people to act the way I 'approve'. I am trying to force companies, which are collections of money, to act with conscience in situations in which they would otherise not - ie most situations.
And the bit about endorsing slavery. WTF? I would think that your position would be closer to endorsing slavery than mine.
I assert again: companies are collections of money, that act in the best interest of their shareholders, who want one thing: to grow their investment; to create more money. Company's directors care nothing for human values - their only concern is producing profits for their shareholders. Any directors that choose human values over profit are quickly removed from power.
The specs typically roll in around 12 months after the release of a new card, and then they are incomplete and contain numerous errors and contradications. Check the DRI Devel mailing list for details. Also check the Gatos mailing list. They've been contacting ATI regularly for the past year for docs for the new Rage Theatre chips, and haven't even received a response of any kind.
ATI started out providing some docs, but have since changed their mind to saying they provide docs while providing nothing, and giving the alternative of a proprietary, 3rd-party, buggy, incomplete, 3d-modelling-optimised driver for those with a card similar enough to a FireGL for it to be detected at all.
You sound like a Bush-apologist. Simply referring to tin foil hats does not make you point; instead it points out your extreme right-wing bias. Companies do not have the same rights as individuals, and telling people who assert their rights over companies to 'move to Russia, you damn hippie' will not further your narrow-minded argument. In the real world, the wishes of corporations should be balanced with the rights of individuals. If you don't like it, move the the Whitehouse so we can take you all out in one go.
I would have thought that a little diplomacy combined with some common sense would be an easier ( and cheaper ) way to approach the problem of the rest of the world's anomocity. I suppose when you have the white house being bought by an extreme right-wing corporate sector, you have to basically accept that the US's foreign policy is going to be as subtle as a bulldozer through a field of daisies.
The sad thing is that most of the US actually believe Baby Bush when he proudly proclaims "... and you know WHY they hate us?... It's because they hate freedom... ". Sure dickhead, that's why we all hate you. Because he hate freedom. Dickhead.
