Open Internet Explorer, go to the tools>options menu item, click the security tab, set security to "high", and customize the options so that it will not run activex, signed or unsigned, for any reason.
There, now IE is approximately as secure as Firefox. They might both have bugs, but now IE is as secure as Firefox by design.
If I made a product that I put effort and thought into, and I could charge $100 for each, is it lawful if someone in another nation can steal my work and produce straight copies for $10 each, thereby bypassing the entire R&D costs, of which I'm stuck paying for myself as well as freeloaders?
If that's the best option for the people of that foreign nation... then fuck yes. Laws have to stop somewhere. You can lobby your government to put pressure on that foreign government to sign trade agreements prohibiting that kind of behavior. That would be making it no longer the best option for the people of that foreign nation.
Other nations should not be havens for those who engage in the theft of other people's property.
That's a troll line, and you know it. Irrelevant.
Would you argue against all extradition treaties as well?
I'd argue against a lot of them, sure. Should we sign an extradition treaty with Iran and ship them Salman Rushdie in a box?
That's not an evolutionary stand point. That's a eugenics stand point.
There are giant obvious problems with these drugs, imho likely due to them ignoring the current results of evolution.
But saying that dumb people should be evolutionary unsuccessful is bullshit eugenics. There's no "should". Evolutionarily successful people are evolutionarily successful. If you want evolution to prove some kind of worthiness of some kind of trait, that's your vanity speaking.
IronPort Systems, a messaging appliance vendor, was asked not to participate in the test because Opus One has an existing consulting contract with this company - including them in the test would have created a conflict of interest. If you are interested in IronPort's spam catch rates, you can infer them from Borderware or Symantec's numbers because all three are based on the same anti-spam engine.
...
Full disclosure statement - After last year's test naming the Postini anti-spam service as one of the top products, Opus One signed up as a paying customer of Postini. Some of the companies participating in the test thought that this would present a conflict of interest. We feel that any test lab that hasn't already implemented an anti-spam system by now could hardly be considered qualified to evaluate how such a product would work. In addition to Postini, Opus One is a customer or purchases products or services from Symantec, Sophos, NetIQ, Ipswitch, and Process Software, all of which participated (or wanted to participate) in this test.
I'd say that given these two statements, their motives are impeccable. They did review SpamAssassin-based products. They did not review SA on it's own because there was no way to make it fit with their methodology. There were many other products that also got left out for these reasons, and their reasons make sense.
We have folks suggesting that you make your own, and you could have for example a wooden computer that looks like 1970s DIY crap, or a plastic case with lights and a window.
We have folks suggesting enthusiast cases, like AlienWare, Lian-li's aluminum behemoth, or "the shark", which looks even cheaper than AlienWare's 1959 Cadillac Eldorado crap.
Apparently hoojum & hush are the best you're going to do around here. Shuttle only passes imho because you could stow it somewhere out of view.
There are several different ways of doing things like you describe.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, but) one-time pads provide complete deniability, because any any encrypted message could produce any decrypted message, depending on the pad. It would be impossible to prove what your message really was.
One time pads are usually too inconvenient. There are also 'rubber-hose' proof encryption systems, where the encrypted message includes empty space. Each key provided reveals more of the decrypted message, but it is never possible to prove whether the remaining unencrypted message is empty space or real data.
Then there's phonebook encryption, which I know nothing about.
Casper replied to my message saying he'd never heard of the #bulkers IRC channel or my friend Ep0ch. (Damn, he was good. Neither exists.) Casper said I needed to provide the name of a "big mailer" who could vouch for me.
I produced a list of names and addresses, assuming he would quickly detect that they were all bogus and he would ignore me. A couple of days went by and I still hadn't heard back. I'd pretty much abandoned hope of ever becoming a BlackMarketMoney.com affiliate.
...
A few days later, an e-mail arrived from Casper. He said I'd make "a valuable addition to the team." His message included information about how to log in to my account at BlackMarketMoney.com, and he gave me his AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) screen name in case I had any questions.
A few days later because he'd been made, and "Casper" wanted to set up a journalist-friendly version of his site. (No, I don't really think so.)
Casper didn't respond. A minute later, he signed off. I haven't spotted him online since.
It's not like Casper disappeared from the net. He only has to add the journalist dude to his block list.
I have my main address, which only 'real people' know, friends and family. It never gets any spam because it's totally secret.
Totally secret? Totally secret how? Do any of those friends and family ever send non-BCCed forwards to you and untrustworthy accounts? Do any of them use free email services likely to harvest addresses from outgoing mail?
The reason you don't get spam right now is because you aren't on their lists yet. Just wait, dude.
If system administration and tech support went on strike, our business might freeze. If application development (me) went on strike... they'd fire all of us and hire someone else. And this is all different from programmers in a software company, which I know nothing about.
You seem to be confused about both the iPod and Hymn.
1. The iPod will play unprotected AAC and MP3 files. 2. Hymn produces unprotected AAC files.
For Apple to disable the ability for the iPod to play files produces with Hymn, they would ostensibly have to either (1) remove unprotected AAC playback or (2) (a) watermark their AAC files prior to encryption and (b) update the iPod firmware to check for such a watermark for unprotected AAC files before playing.
Or, (3), make iTunes not play unprotected AACs that have been marked by hymn upon decryption. Hymn used to use some obscure ID3 tag in an identifiable way. Apple used this misfeature to block some hymn-decrypted songs a little while back.
No, obviously this is not a long term solution. Just saying.
Slashdot Mirror
VARCHAR's store NULL's as empty strings (which are not the same thing)(!!!)
They are now, dude.
IF YOU TURN OFF ACTIVEX.
Open Internet Explorer, go to the tools>options menu item, click the security tab, set security to "high", and customize the options so that it will not run activex, signed or unsigned, for any reason.

Yes, I really believe you are an idiot.
Your sig notwithstanding.
You are an idiot.
Fortunately your desires have nothing to do with national or international law.

Many years back I had someone ask me for help resizing images to send to his mom as email attachments.
So I downloaded some random shareware image library app. Ran it, clicked "open" and navigated to the "my pictures" folder (or equiv).
It immediately started displaying thumbnails of all the dude's porn.
"No sweat. Which ones are for your mom?"

Does cocaine make people smarter?
They certainly seem to think so, don't they.
I think you meant bittorrent.
Bitkeeper would be a somewhat limited tool for pirating movies.
You did not read the article. From the Who got left out or opted out page:I'd say that given these two statements, their motives are impeccable. They did review SpamAssassin-based products. They did not review SA on it's own because there was no way to make it fit with their methodology. There were many other products that also got left out for these reasons, and their reasons make sense.
You are full of shit.
No sweat. Thanks.
clickable:
last year's review.
They tested 16 products. Postini "won", and MX-Logic got 4th place with 77% accuracy and a 0.5% false-positive rate.
Do you have a link handy for last year's review?

(See subject.)
Yeah, taco, we fucking know.
Which is why I said, "One time pads are usually too inconvenient."
Anything else?

Mod parent up. He's the first one with a good relevant link.

IT workers and programmers are not synonymous.
If system administration and tech support went on strike, our business might freeze. If application development (me) went on strike... they'd fire all of us and hire someone else. And this is all different from programmers in a software company, which I know nothing about.
Business reality.
No, obviously this is not a long term solution. Just saying.
I'm glad we're all clear on that.
