I do have the numbers to back this up... check out the stats at slowspam.com - this exploits the fact that some spammers target low priority MX hosts and then holds them in a tar pit for as long as they keep the connection open - 671 hours in one case.
No correctly configured MTA should contact low priority (MX) mail servers unless the higher priority ones are unavailable... Most of the hits into this particular tar pit (slowspam.com) are from machines on the end of ADSL or Cable lines (you can check the actual machines from looking at the log on the website)... which almost certainly are compromised boxes trying to send spam.
Some spam bots try to get around tough spam filters by using low priority MX records to deliver mail. There's a project that's helping to make this practice less effective at: slowspam.com. An explanation of how this is done is at: http://slowspam.blogspot.com/2006/09/slow-spam.htm l.
I already have a machine with 8 cores sitting on my desktop... a Sun T2000... OK, it's not supposed to be desktop machine, but it's 8 cores, and 4 threads per core...
My worry is that the move to x86 will only cause stability issues for the OS. This is from Apple's own transition doc:
"The x86 C-language calling convention (application binary interface, or ABI) specifies that arguments
to functions are passed on the stack. The PowerPC ABI specifies that arguments to functions are
passed in registers. Also, x86 has far fewer registers, so many local variables use the stack for their
storage. Thus, programming errors, or other operations that access past the end of a local variable
array or otherwise incorrectly manipulate values on the stack may be more likely to crash applications
on x86 systems than on PowerPC."
X-Box:360 - A platoon of enemy troops charging your squad.
PS3 - Two enemy platoons trying to flank your allied squad while you try and find a way to out flank them.
That's done it, I'm definitely getting an XBox360 - the games sound a lot easier!;-)
I've got a Xerox Phaser 8200 (now superceded by the 8400) which would be virtually impossible to pull a "region code" trick on... the ink comes in solid blocks that just slot into the top of the printer - no cartridge at all, and no waste.

I'm quite new to HDMI... do I need a high speed cable if I want to be able to fast forward my DVDs? ;-)
At least there's one very useful Vista capable machine.
Thank you BlendTech
He's really been banned because his carbon footprint is too large! ;-)
Unfortunate ad placement.
Personally, I'm waiting for Inviso-ITX. ;-)

I'd swap my 17" Powerbook for a 12" with the same resolution anyday. The 17" is barely portable but the screen is lovely to work on.

Huh!, another feature not in Longhorn! ;-)
When asked to comment, George Lucas said: "I've got a bad feeling about this." ;-)

It's only art if it's either in black and white or has subtitles... otherwise it's porn
Anyway, why would it need music with all of the other stimulants that it contains?
I'm gonna have to disagree slightly here:
I have 2 (BT) ADSL lines (not using them as an ISP) which failover when a fault/outage is detected... which is quite often!
Python did it best:
Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, toffee-nosed, malodorous pervert!
I guess they've never heard of "Referential Integrity" then?
iSpiritLevel.... shipped on every Powerbook! ;-)
Notepad or Wordpad? ;-)
...and it's available on a T-Shirt from ThinkGeek... only in size XXXXXXXL. ;-)

Apple recently filed a patent about changing the colour of a piece of hardware dependent on what was happening on it...
So, maybe, the new ipod has some sort of translucent case that displays the artwork while the song is playing.
Of course, most iPods spend their life inside a pocket so many man-years of effort in developing such a feature is pointless!
vi || emacs?
You're living on it! ;-)
