Some mail programs have a neat feature of being able to just download the headers then act upon them.
This works well with things like Netwinsites SmiteSpam, which adds an X-SpamDetect header, with so many * after it. You filter out "X-SpamDetect: *****" and anything that's 5 or higher will get matched, and you can delete it on the server instead of downloading the body of the message. I beleive SpamAssassin also adds a header that you can filter by accordingly. You, of course, don't have to delete it. You could download it and move it to a folder for review.
This doesn't completely eliminate the user bandwidth as the header still has to be downloaded, but it's a decent option.
Of course this also requires the server to be running some spam software (SmiteSpam is part of Surgemail and costs money, but is a great piece of software, spam assassin works with many MTAs and is free/libre I believe). If you do not have control of your mail server, you may be relying on someone else to have the server side setup. If you run your own mail server, then you can install SA.
This feature is available in incredimail and some others.
But I agree, you shouldn't have to pay for someone to advertise. Just thought I'd let some people know of some not so often used features that are available.
If you think it's any one reason then you are sadly mistaken. Not all people think alike. There's a plethora of reason they do not like the US. It's impossible to say that all terrorists/people hate the US because...
Because every one of them has thier own reasons. You could go through and attempt to appease every one of them, but you'll just create a million more in the process. There is no cure yet, because as long as there is hate, someone is going to hate you.
HTTP headers can tell a caching server not to cache the page. What's wrong with a cache? For data that doesn't change, it provides you with a better feed to it, and any pages that change often (cnn, msnbc, slashdot, etc) have put in the appropriate http headers to tell caching servers like squid to not cache the data.
Using multiple hostnames to serve images and the like (which don't change, don't need the no cache header) and data (with the http headers in there) make it even better, you download the changing data only from the live site, and grab the images off of the squid server (though most big caching servers are actually by inktomi, not squid)
And if I leave a novel that I have purchased legally on a park bench with a note saying Free please leave a different novel in its place then am I guilty of copyright infringement?
No, but if you photocopy a novel and place the photocopy on the park bench, and leave a note, Please leave a photocopy of a deffent novel in its place, then you are, and this is a bit more accurate assesment of what's going on.
Get with the times would you? Sheesh, you'd be right if it was still 1998 and we were all running IIS3.0, but come on, quit it with the FUD. IIS6.0 is deffinately an HTTP server, and it is NOT just a mess or a piece of crap.
I agree. Now it's a mess and a piece of crap and oh so much more!
Clusternig is not a buzz word. It's a very real solution to many of the problems faced by enterprise applications and infastructure. Combined with.Net can be used to aid in providing web services, giving you One Degree of Seperation for your customers. Combined with XML and RDBMS, clusters can provide you with the speed you need for your enterprise software, and the 5-9s reliability that you require, without vendor lock-in.
In short, clustering is the solutions for tomorrows problems today.
Chrysler made it even easier. You just have to turn the key to the first position (not starting the car) then to off 5 times (leaving it in the first position on the last one (again, not starting the engine, just one click forward)), and count the blinks of the engine light. 5 blinks then 5 blinks is end of codes and hopefully the only one you get if your car seems to be running fine.
Fords and GMs, you short out a connection and count the blinking lights. That isn't an import only thing.
Also, you don't get all the information possible from those codes. I believe those have always been documented and available in domestic and imports. It's information from when you hook it up to the computer, the extra diagnostic information from there, that was rendered useless when auto companies stopped providing information on what meant what (imports and domestic alike).
Customers who pay you a buttload of money for some services usually want to see your server room. Instead of foregoing the tens of thousands of dollars they will be paying, you escourt them in and let them have a gander.
You may not want to, but sometimes you just have to. As long as you keep your server room clean and make sure there are plenty of pretty blinking lights, you should have no problems with showing off your server room.
If you have the money, dodge may be selling the 2003 Dodge Ram SRT-10. (a lot is unknown, but sources suggest it's going to be for sale, not a concept truck)
500 HP 500 Ft.-lbs torque
5000 lbs curb weight 0-60 in 5 secs 0-100-0 in 18 secs ¼ mile in 12.9 150 mph top speed (All ests)
The 10 in the name is for the 10 Cyl. all aluminum viper engine driving the beast (with the 6 speed manual viper tranny too).
If you're states side, you're looking an estimated $40,000 to $52,000 for it (around $60,000 Cdn. I believe). Not bad, all things considered. And it looks sweet too.
There is no reason to not use that dark fibre, and no reason to assume that it wouldn't be used. In fact, it would be ignorant to think it would just go wasted, never touched, because it can fill the roll it's needed for just as well as this new plastic fibre, possibly better, as we do not know the throughput on this new fibre. Also, from a cost standpoint, no matter how cheap it is to lay this new fibre down, corps have already eaten the cost of laying that dark fibre. It would be foolish to lay down new fibre when there is perfectly good fibre already laid, just waiting to be lit up.
So your poorly thought out comment was wrong. It also couldn't qualify as a rant about "the computer industry's annoying habit of replacing a product before it was used in the first place" as you did not allude to the comptuer industry, this existing fibre is not controlled by the computer industry (unless you stretch the "computer industry" to be defined as you need it be, much like you did rant), and your two lines were not a) a violent or extravagant speech or writing or b) a speech or piece of writing that incites anger or violence.
Perhaps you could call it a bit sarcastic, but definately not a semi rant, rant, or a raving.
Now, for my conspiracy theory, lighten up a bit. It was not intended in any way as a serious critique of slashdot. It was just for shits and giggles. Sorry you did not get a kick out of it.
And thirdly, three people have been known to be wrong before, and this is one of those cases.
And yes, it IS nice. You should remove the stick from your ass and try it. And you also have a nice day.
I wanted to mod you down, but there is no option for "-1 Wrong". I sat and thought about this for a minute or two and here's the best I can come up with.
Wrong answers generate a good number of responses... corrections and such. This adds more comments total to the article. This will drive up the average comments per article. Articles with higher number of comments will make more people read the comments. This could again lead to even more comments. The responses correcting the misinformation will generally be modded "+1 Informative" or left alone, not modded down (nor should they be). People will not mod you off topic, troll or flamebait, because you are none of the above, you are just plain wrong. This will appear to give a better the signal to noise ratio, as there are now alot more positively moderated or non-negatively moderated posts. I say appear because comments such as these, though not modded down, are noise. The responses, though correct, also shouldn't be her, making them noise as well.
So we have: Appearance of a better signal to noise ratio, more comments per story, and more people reading these comments which equals more ad views and a higher chance of a click-through. These all looks better to advertisers and would be advertisers. This will lead to more ad clicks, and possibly better payout per ad click.
Conclusion:
The slashdot powers that be are purposefully leaving out the "-1 Wrong" moderation option to get more comments per story in order to generate more ad revenue.
Now, as for you being moderated up... well.. Apparently there's also a moderator out there who is "-1 Wrong".
Substitute money with software licenses, like they really give, and you see it's not as much as you think.
Them giving away one software license shows up as them giving away $X (insert "value" of product here). Sure, they do give away some money, but far less then they let on. They mostly give away licenses for MS products.
Also remember.. Them donating hardware/money + licenses to schools only keeps up their monopoly, so are their reasons so wholesome now?
And the fact that the amount given to charity is very small compaired to their profits, joe blow giving $20 to charity once a week makes a bigger sacrifice.
Now, for an interesting Batman, think... Jack Nicholson. No, not the one who died as the Joker, but the one who played in Wolf. He'd have the intensity and age for a Dark Knight.
Yeah.. that would be great. Superman beating up a corpse for an hour and a half. Have you seem him lately? He's not on the same medication as Dick Clark, that's for sure.
A direct result of the Taliban using the civilians as human sheilds. Starvation? The US intervention actually headed off famine, and did not cause it.
Yeah. That wasn't a wedding the US blew up, it was a bunch of taliban soldiers dressing up civilians to look like a wedding and holding them in front of them. That's it. And the Canadian soldiers bombed.. they were also being used as human shields, right?
"Do a little search on "Sharon war crimes" in google."
Yes. There are plenty of sites run by antisemitic kooks making up all kinds of things.
If you can't see that Sharon is not a great leader and should be brought up on war crime charges, you have to learn to see through the bullshit they feed you on TV. It should make you wonder why most of the world thinks the opposite of the United States on this one. Mind you Arafat is no saint either, and the quicker we get both of these criminals out of power, the sooner there is an actual chance for peace in that area. Also once Israel fully complies with UN resolution 242 , it will go a long ways to the peace process. Right now they have complied about 91%... IE: They turned over control of a egyptian desert back tyo egypt. The land that is actually worth anything they still hold. Israel says We complied.. Close enough, but in fact they've basically done nothing except leave a desert.
US actions in the middle-east have been 100% anti-imperialist. You have it backwards.

Knocking out the current government (one they helped get there in the first place) to replace it with what will be a puppet government for the US sounds pretty imperialistic to me. And then stating they are going to remove Saddam and friends from power, to do the same thing? I think he has it dead on.
"What about all of the Kurds and Iranians who were killed by the USA using Iraq as a proxy?"
It didn't happen. Check again.
and "I won't even get into the numerous murderous acts committed by the USA using Israel as a proxy against Palestine"
Don't go into it, as what you claim does not exist.
Ignorance is bliss isn't it? US has been using other countries to fight wars that they would lose to much face fighting for a long time now. This isn't exclusive to the US either. China does the same, and all superpowers have been doing it over time.
No, the Muslim extremists attack the US because we stand for freedom, and defend Jewish people from the attempts by Muslim extemists to exterminate them.
No, they attack the US for a few reasons. Use, exploitation and abuse of other contries to achive their higher standing of living (This also is not UScentric nor is it anything new. Exploitation is something every superpower makes use of, all through history). Their use of military power for lower cost imports, usually oil. Add in some jealousy, some other bad US foreign policy, a pissing match or two, and some crazy mother fucker pissed off because the US stepped on his homeland, and you've got a whole lotta hate being generated at you.
But in all fairness, if you're American you don't get to see much of both sides in the media. As an aside, you do sound like a prime candidate for head guinnie pig in some mind control experiments.
He's saying they used I (Capitol i) instead of l (Lowercase L) to fool people, so it was a different domain, it just appeared the same because of the similarity between I and l with some fonts.
