Rember those ads that had Ford CEO Jacques Nasser saying "We are doing everything possible to fix this tire situation". Wouldn't it be cool if Bill Gates would do the same thing? Might be good for his PR.
I believe this is the road runner "acceptable use" policy. It doesn't say anything about not being able to run a web server.
Is there some other "terms of service" agreement that disallows personal web servers?
Here is a simple script to parse out the offending IPs and timestamp on linux/apache systems. It removes dupes too. This may be easier to read
#!/usr/bin/perl
# open the log file
open(LOG,"/usr/local/apache/logs/access_log");
while ($line = <LOG>) {
#Get the code red log lines
if ($line =~/default.ida/) {
# Split out just the IP and time
($validstuff,$junk) = split(/\"GET/,$line);
($ip,$time) = split(/- -/,$validstuff);
$ip =~ s///g;
#Put them in a hash to get rid of dupe IPs
$ips{$ip} = $time;
}
}
# Print it back to the screen
@keys = keys %ips;
foreach $tmp(@keys) {
print "$tmp $ips{$tmp} \n";
}

I know many linux guys have some type of email server running at home. How about on IIS? Would it do any good to send emails to postmaster@xxx.xxx.xxx.cablemodem.com or root@xxx.xxx.xx.cablemodem.com ?
Do any of the ISPs accept lists of infected ips and then send a warning email to those users? I looked through my logs, and saw code red hits from a local smalltime website. I emailed the sysadmin and he patched his site and thanked me for the info. But most of the hits are from xxxx.rr.com .
I would love to be able to forward a list of ips back to the ISP and have them send out the emails.
Where does the post say that the AHRA was mainly about TV broadcasts?
The AHRA is about making home recordings. The AHRA codifies part of the Sony case by allowing home recordings. Yes, home recording for personal use was legal before the AHRA. Sony was a split decision, the split may have went the other way with a few new justices, so it didn't hurt to have that part written into law.
It says nothing about "its ok to hack the encryption used by DirectTV." But it does prevent breaking copy protection to make multiple copies.
Subchapter B 1002. Incorporation of copying controls.
Rather than just spouting off, why don't you back up your words with some facts.
The Audio Home Recording Act of 1992, does not say that you have the RIGHT to record over the air programs. Instead it says that such recording is legal for home use. This does not mean that content providers can not put in copy protection, just that if they broadcast in the "free and clear" they can't sue you because you recorded it.
It also states that you can't hack the copy protection.

This depends on the consumer laws of the state. Under your rent theory, the law in Texas is that if the leased property is not habitable you can file a complaint with the landlord. The landlord has I believe one week to fix the problem or you can get out of the lease, get your deposit back etc. . Many states have consumer laws that protect people from unfair business practices.
Can you give us any info on why she quit? From the short blurb, I can only think that she came in, didn't know exactly what to do, got chewed out, then ran out of the place crying.
Hopefully I am wrong. This would make a great ask slashdot "how much leeway do you give a tech employee." I know when I started, I could do anything given enough time, but my employeer stuck with me. Granted in this case, there wasn't any time to waste.
Sorry, you are wrong. When you "subscribe" to a service you are entering into a contract. The company agrees to provide a service and you agree to pay for that service. Unless the contract has a clause that states "you must still pay even if we do not provide the service" she had every right not to pay her bill. At least in the U.S. there are a ton of consumer protection
Rogers was the first to breach the contract so she had no obligation to pay. Here is a link explaining contract law.
Under your theory, I could lease you a house, have the house blown up, kick you out on the street and you would still have to pay me rent.
Get a camera and motion detector from X10.com . You can probably right a small program that will dial out when the motion detector goes off and have it email you a picture.
Look here
Alot of the people using biodiesel get there cooking oil from used cooking oil. Used cooking oil is considered a waste product and many times ends up in a landfill. So if you use cooking oil that would only end up in the garbage dump, should you even considered the resources that were required to make it?
A diesel engine works different than a gas engine. In a gas engine, the spark plug ignites the fuel. In a diesel engine there are no spark plugs. The pistons compress the fuel, and the compression causes the fuel to ignite. A diesel engine has a compression ration about twice that of a gasoline engine.
Soybean oil will work just fine in a diesel engine. From what I have read, soybeans have a longer hydrocarbon chain than diesel, that can make the engne a little harder to start on soybean oil.
Remember he is using a diesel engine. The soybean oil does combust,but it combusts under great pressure not by a spark plug. Diesel fuel is not very combustible (compared to gasoline that is). A diesel engine has a compression ration about twice that of a gasoline engine.
If you look at the specs on a military diesel engine they will run on just about any type of liquid hydro carbon. (diesel, motor oil, kerosene, Wesson cooking oil)
Was this question made up? If someone REALLY asked "will wave power cause the moon to crash", now that WOULD be funny.

Lets see, if Microsofts source code is posted all over the web, Microsoft would start a massive campaign to protect its intellectual property.
1. MS goes through StarOffice, KOffice, AbiWord code.
2. MS states that your "search and replace" code looks just like our "search and replace" code, you must have used our stolen code. Please remove it now.
3. MS gets a judge to believe that other closed source programs contain stolen MS code. Judge allow MS to view the closed source code. MS uses that info for all kinds of bad stuff.
My experience has been that the consultants come in, talk big, have alot of meetings , make lots of promises, throw out some code and leave. Then the in house folks have to go back and clean up the mess.

Vegetable oil is a great source of renewable energy. It is easy too make vegetable oil into diesel fuel. Much easier and much more effiecient to use vegetable oil (even old fryer grease) than using corn to make ethanol.

Here is a link to a FAQ at the WIPO http://arbiter.wipo.int/information/faq/index.html It looks like they try and handle things by mediation. They also do arbitration, but both parties have to agree to the arbitration. I can't find anywhere on there site that says they have actual enforment power? It looks like the bible guy and soccer team choose to use the WIPO because it was cheaper than going to court.
How about bio diesel? It can be made from used vegetable oil from you local McDonalds and can be run in any diesel car/truck with only a few modifications and can still burn regular diesel too. http://www.kelseyville.com/biodsl/
