  1. Re:Looks like a copy of someone else's work... on Researchers Build TCP-Based Spam Detection · · Score: 1

    maybe you need to increase the greylist-period. Most bots run at dsl accounts, which means they will get a new ip approximate every 24h. When you require a period of 24h for unknown senders, they will not be able to resend it.

    Of course only a possible solution, if you do not need to get your e-mails as soon as possible. But when you need to, you do not want to use greylisting at all.

    and somewhere the money gets out of the system, there you can access the user behind it. of course, if you invest all the bitcoins in services, which are paid via bitcoin, you are on the safe side. But when you get really rich, you will want to buy something real with your money.

    when its too much traffic, then you need to provide it yourself. But until the original link becomes invalid ... why should it not be allowed to use the link for providing the source, and only hosting it yourself when the link finally becomes invalid.

    you can sell your license of all software. This is usually ONE license. But for GPL software, you can sell the software, and you can sell it as often as you like. you just need to provide the sourcecode.

  14. Re:Smartphones cannot forward encrypted emails on Do Slashdotters Encrypt Their Email? · · Score: 1

    why not? inline pgp should be really easy, i do not know how smartphones affect signatures in the attachments, but when it causes trouble just use inline pgp and do not care if its e-mail, paper, or written to stone. it just has two clearly seperated parts, the message and the signature, which can be read by a pgp-binary.

  15. Re:No on Do Slashdotters Encrypt Their Email? · · Score: 1

    dedicated ssl-ports have an advantage: its easy to manipulate a "STARTTLS" package to read "STARTTLx", then the server replies with "not supported" and most mailclients fall back to unencrypted traffic.
    When the port is dedicated for SSL, the mailclient will not fall back.

    which was not fair at that time, too. You cannot compare some product, which just trashed all its history to try something new with matured products. KDE4 is good since 4.2 or some release in that time, and gnome3 will become good again, too. Mint is working on the needed extensions to make it gnome2 like, other extension authors are building extensions just to improve the gnome3 look&feel. just wait until they create some useful bundle and try this one.

    As Gnome3 and Unity are still very new and KDE 4.7 is a matured desktop nowadays, so its not fair. just wait for gnome 3.7 and it will be as nice as kde. remember kde 4.0?
