Netbeans is GREAT for java, but quite frankly, if I wanted a single language IDE for Java, I'd run Jbuilder. Eclipse is about a heck of a lot more than Java development.
I looked at this last week when I was deciding which message passing protocol to use for an application (I used BEEP), the protocol looks cool, but the only perl, ruby or python implimentations I've seen are *clients* What about the other end?
"The new ad technology, from Unicast, an advertising company based in New York, invisibly loads the commercial while unwitting users read a Web page, then displays the ad across the entire browser area when users click to a new page. "
So, in other words, they are using some sort of ActiveX/Browser plugin. Great just what I need, yet another plugin to block. The good news is that those using anything other than Windows won't have to bother with this crap.
"Mr. Nail says he appreciates the fact that the ads do not slow Web surfing. The commercials load into a computer's temporary memory, and only when a page is idle. If a user clicks to a new page within the site before the ad is fully loaded, the process is merely paused until the browser is again idle. The ads run on Windows Media Player software"
Doesn't slow the web surfing? WTF? He's smoking crack. While I suspect from the description that it tries to detect when the user is idle, that will hardly keep it from sucking up bandwidth.
at 300K a this isn't going to be popular with those who manage corporate networks. Why is it that these media guys never seem to grasp the fact that most of the surfing that goes on does so from some sort of corporate or educational environment. Neither of those environments will be happy about seeing their bandwidth usages going up yet again because pepsi and co think throwing a 300K 30 video ad to replace the popups that everybody hates is some how going to convence johnny that he should drink more fscking pop.
King TJ, you should read a bit on Mr. Lamo before you go casting stones.
1. He has repeatidly turned down anything from the companies he's helped. 2. He has always agreed to sign whatever NDA's are required of him. 3. That hardly fits the profile of somone trying to "bolster" his profile. 4. He has done this for *years*. 5. He has (A far back as I can remember hearing him speak) been aware that one day someone would not take too highly of his efforts. 6. He's hardly on the run, he's trying to get in touch with his Lawyer to setup the details of turning himself in. 7. He has NEVER released (as far as I can remember) the exact details of ANY of his corporate hacks.
Want proof? Go seach SecurityFocus, he hangs out on BugTraq and a few of the other lists. For heavens sakes man, quit trolling without at least reading about the guy.
Ineffective? Bullshit. I'll gladly post the numbers from the domains I control that use SPEWS showing the spam it blocks.
Your argument against spews is a common one, and like nearly every other damned time I hear it spouted forth, incorrect and shortsighted.
Spews does a VERY good job at blocking spam (and those of us who use can back that up). The very idea behind spews is that you cause the ISP enough grief so they shutdown whatever spammer is on their network. go check out www.spews.org and read the faq. It takes a lot of work (ok, a lot of ignoring complaints) to get on spews...
As far as powerful enemies go... whatever...I see more people using Spews everyday, so I'd have to disagree.
1. If you purchase IP's (actually "lease") in this day and age, you better damned well check them first... SPEWS and most of the other DNSRBL's will let you do so easily.
2. The idea of listing all or part of a class of IP's is intended to pressure the provider to change their habits of hosting/supporting spammers. Your case is a good example of why they would want to do so.
When spammer friendly ISP's stop allowing spammers to jump from IP to IP within their netblock, and start being a bit responsive to abuse complaints, this type of situation will go away.
Hey, Sheldon, I see you finally got the hang of ASP.NET, you still working for Microsoft? Maybe you should mention that before you start going off the deep end...

Why we use Mysql... (and use it for for our customers)
1. quick, easy setup, with easy to find documentation. While I'm sure this will send (some) people howling... I've not seen documentation to match for PostgreSQL, or SapDB (Firebird's docs seem ok).
2. Easy to manage. I don't have to stop my mysql db's to do maint on them. (yes, you can do a sorta vaccum on pg with it running, but IIRC, it only actually releases the space if you stop the db and do it, maybe I'm wrong here, but hey, until we can find docs that explain it better...)
3. Full cross platform support. Doesn't matter if it's windows or solaris, or linux. Mysql runs fine. Last I checked PG only ran on windows with Cygwin. Not an option for production enviroments.
4. Plenty of easy to use gui's. DBA's love'm.
5. Support by pretty much every multi-database COTS application we mess with, be it Demarc or the odd php webook.
That being said, I'd love to get views, full sub selects and joins in mysql, or someone to put a page together that gives the info in an easy googlable site like mysql.com.
" I can believe that you are within your rights not to receive their mail. For that matter, I can believe you within your rights not to receive anyone's mail."
Bingo, That sir,was my point in first place...Regardless of *why* someone blocks you (Mabye they don't like Brits or think your the anti-christ or that your secretly plotting to take over the world) they can block you for any reason, or none at all, if their 554 response says you dress funny and smell of cod, there's not much you can do about it. You could threaten to sue, but then you'd just wind up on more personal blacklists.... While I'm certainly not up on British law, In the U.S the level you must prove for Libel is pretty high (higher for a corporate entity I might add).
"Of course in this case, you are blocking my domain because I dared to express a point of view (which the moderators don't seem to dislike too much) in a discussion forum"
No, your blocked because you flew off the handle and went all C&C. I blocked you to prove a point.
A legal case that may interest you is the case of T3 vs Mcnicol (http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,53102,0 0.html for some background).
> This is great, you've just demonstrated that RBLs are not > neutral,and > are driven more by a desire to punish than to solve the problem.
No, I demonstrated our desire not to recieve email from people waving C&C threats. Care to take back that threat of suing anyone who blocks you and maybe helping find a better solution instead bitching and moaning about how unfair DNSRBL's are? I'm all for a better solution (as are most people).
> The one thing I'm not going to do is change my server park because > someone on the other side of the world is on a quixotic crusade. > It's not my battle, and I object to people trying to enlist me.
Nobody said you had to, but if your ISP chooses to host spammers, then you'll have to deal with the issues of getting blocked. An analogy would be living in a apartment where the landlord lets drug dealers live next to you. You don't have to move, but you can't really complain about the police cars parked outside either. Again, it's not an ideal solution, but we'll stick with it until a better one exists that:
1. Doesn't increase my server costs (e.g content filtering overhead) 2. Doesn't increase my bandwidth costs (e.g some whitelisting techniques) 3. Doesn't increase the overhead of administration (We spend enough time keeping the bad guys out now thank you) 4. Catches as much SPAM as DNSRBl's.
> See n previous/. discussions about this, but the (statistically) > average email address gets about 3 a day.
Great, now multiple that 3 by the number of users.. for example take a clients 11000 users, multiple that by 3...33000 messages, assume a average size of 10K-20K and suddenly I'm looking at around half a gig in bandwidth....
> Err, if netblock is such a greeeeat system, how come spam is > increasing?
I never said, nor implied that netblocks are a good way to block spam, what I did imply is that they are at the moment, the most cost effective way for an ISP or company to block spam.
"And I shall certainly take legal advice on whether I can sue companies who bounce my mail with any rejection message..."
Ok hotshot, I've just added cyberporte.co.uk to our local RBL list and taken the liberty of posting a link (with a C&C warning) to your post on NANAE. Would you like the address of our attorney now....
This tactic has been tried several times before. There is no right to deliver (or even connect to) our or anyone else's systems. we can (and will:) reject you with any message, or none at all, at our choosing.
If you decide to read abit more you'll find that most RBL rejection messages refer to you a page, or site that is usually pretty explict in telling you why your netblock or address range has been rejected.
oh, and for the record, we make sure our users are aware that we use RBL's. Currently we have (including yours) 549 netblocks listed in our local RBL list, that's not including the 12519 that we have SPEWS blocking at the firewall... I'm not counting the 6 country wide netblocks that are banned.
The argument "Do you want your ISP to tell you what email you can read?" is sure to carry a hell of a lot of weight with joe internet user who's tired of all the MMF/Porn/Junk spam he's getting these days.
If there were any decent ways to block spam without resorting to the netblock method, We would gladly use it, but given the past attempts at such methods, I just don't see it happening.
> I don't have stats about kids accidently killing themselves with >guns they find in their parent's closet, but I'm sure it happens. A >lot.
"A Lot" bullshit. Since you can't lookup the stats, I will. Gun deaths amoung kids are the lowest they've been in many years. here's a bit of stats (with references at the end).
(as of 1997, gun deaths have actually dropped since then) (BTW: many of the "gun control" groups define a "child" as anyone under the age of 25)
#1 Cars... #2 Drowning....
ok, so maybe it's adults being gunned down, right? Wrong... (from CDC)
ALL CAUSES 2,169,518 Heart Disease 720,862 Cancers 514,657 Strokes 143,481.......
Gun Related 30,708
That's right, contary to the ban-them-all-before-they-gun-down-their-neighbors hystierical gun control lobby, Guns don't even rank in the top 10. Out of 2,169,518 who died in 97 (year of the stats), 30,708 died from guns. In a country touted as being extremely violent, about 40~ people, out of a population of 260M~ die each day as a result of guns. That INCLUDES hunting accidents and Suicides (with Suicides being about 40% of the total deaths)..
Let me put it another way. Out of a gun carrying population of about 63M~, about 40~ of those (assuming a 1 to 1 ratio) (or people who have stolen them), will abuse their rights on a given day.
> A gun is something an American feels is their right (2nd amend.)
There is no "feel" about it. It's pretty plainly written into the Constitution.
> As for floods and lightning... get serious. Are 8 of 10,000 deaths attributable to lightning strikes?
Look at Enviromental deaths in the CDC report, and yes they DO kill more than guns...
> How long ago did that revolution end? You afraid Britain might > invade again? So why do you need your guns now?
Why don't you look at the surveys. People don't usually buy guns for self-defense (contrary to your beliefs).
> The guns-as-historical-right is a crock No, again, it's right there for you or anyone else to read in the Constitution.
> Until your neighbour gets a bigger gun. Rinse, repeat
Do you really think people having local arms races because their neighbor just picked up a "bigger" (size? caliber? capacity?) gun? Please give an example....
> Actually, I hate guns because people like you feel you *need* to > have one to protect you
Bully for you, but that still gives you no rights to take away *my* rights (again, read the constition, it IS a right) to keep a gun.
BTW, with regards to gun control, I think this says it all...
"Among the 15 states with the highest homicide rates, 10 have restrictive or very restrictive gun laws. Twenty percent of United States homicides occur in four cities with just six percent of the population---New York, Chicago, Detroit and Washington DC--and each has a virtual prohibition on private handgun ownership. New York City has one of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, yet 20 percent of the nation's armed robberies"

SDSC Secure Syslog
·
· Score: 2
I dearly wish one of those would solve the syslog problem, but...
msyslog: Docs? Example of how to set it up, pretty please? To clearify, setting msyslog up as a straight 415/udp syslog replacement is decently easy, but setting PEO or mysql support up is near impossible, couple that with the fact the developer (phreed) seems to have almost no time to do anything with the project kills this for serious sites.
syslog-ng: MUCH better docs that msyslog, but adding mysql support is mostly a hack, and the config setup is about as cryptic as the old sendmail config. That coupled with the fact that I've YET to get it syslog-ng to send messages to a remote host correctly over TCP(recieve yes, but send no), knocks this off my list.
I for one will be grabbing a copy of SDSC Secure Syslog pretty quick. We use a centralized logging setup, and neither syslog-ng, nor msyslog fulfills our needs. (nor does nsyslog, or mbsyslog, nor Metalog, we didn't bother looking at DJB'd tools since his restrictive license could be a problem with sending out updates to logging sites).
To put it bluntly... Welcome to the wonderful world of consulting.
This situation is normal, with almost any software project; the issue of source code (as well as related IP) ownership MUST be addressed, unless your company wants to spend lots of "quality" time with attorneys. Your problem is apparently; you have not consulted with an attorney and (at least it seems, my apologies if this is untrue) are a bit new to this.
The ownership and license of the software should be spelled out explicitly in the contract. If your not a one-man shop kind of operation (the article doesn't give any real clues), then ask some of your people who've worked in other consulting organizations if they have any of their old contracts. Failing that, again, consult with an attorney who has is familiar with this area. Just don't choose your uncle's-cousin-once-removed-and-is-an-attorney just because they are "cheap" You really want someone who has done this before.
In any case, congrats on landing a client, new gigs of any size are increasingly hard to get in this economy. Just don't spend forever getting a contract in front of your client, they have been know to change their minds:-)

In a country touted as being extremely violent, about 40~ people, out of a population of 260M~ die each day as a result of guns. That INCLUDES hunting accidents and Suicides (with Suicides being about 40% of the total deaths)..
Let me put it another way. Out of a gun carrying population of about 63M~, about 40~ of those (assuming a 1 to 1 ratio) (or people who have stolen them), will abuse their rights on a given day.
> A gun is something an American feels is their right (2nd amend.)
There is no "feel" about it. It's pretty plainly written into the Constitution.
> As for floods and lightning
Look at Enviromental deaths in the CDC report, and yes they DO kill more than guns...
> How long ago did that revolution end? You afraid Britain might
> invade again? So why do you need your guns now?
Why don't you look at the surveys. People don't usually buy guns for self-defense (contrary to your beliefs).
HUNTING: 51%
PROTECTION: 32%
TARGET SHOOTING: 13%
COLLECTING: 4%
> The guns-as-historical-right is a crock
No, again, it's right there for you or anyone else to read in the Constitution.
> Until your neighbour gets a bigger gun. Rinse, repeat
Do you really think people having local arms races because their neighbor just picked up a "bigger" (size? caliber? capacity?) gun? Please give an example....
> Actually, I hate guns because people like you feel you *need* to
> have one to protect you
Bully for you, but that still gives you no rights to take away *my* rights (again, read the constition, it IS a right) to keep a gun.
BTW, with regards to gun control, I think this says it all...
"Among the 15 states with the highest homicide rates, 10 have restrictive or very restrictive gun laws. Twenty percent of United States homicides occur in four cities with just six percent of the population---New York, Chicago, Detroit and Washington DC--and each has a virtual prohibition on private handgun ownership. New York City has one of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, yet 20 percent of the nation's armed robberies"

I dearly wish one of those would solve the syslog problem, but...
msyslog:
Docs? Example of how to set it up, pretty please? To clearify, setting msyslog up as a straight 415/udp syslog replacement is decently easy, but setting PEO or mysql support up is near impossible, couple that with the fact the developer (phreed) seems to have almost no time to do anything with the project kills this for serious sites.
syslog-ng:
MUCH better docs that msyslog, but adding mysql support is mostly a hack, and the config setup is about as cryptic as the old sendmail config. That coupled with the fact that I've YET to get it syslog-ng to send messages to a remote host correctly over TCP(recieve yes, but send no), knocks this off my list.
I for one will be grabbing a copy of SDSC Secure Syslog pretty quick. We use a centralized logging setup, and neither syslog-ng, nor msyslog fulfills our needs. (nor does nsyslog, or mbsyslog, nor Metalog, we didn't bother looking at DJB'd tools since his restrictive license could be a problem with sending out updates to logging sites).
To put it bluntly... Welcome to the wonderful world of consulting.
:-)
This situation is normal, with almost any software project; the issue of source code (as well as related IP) ownership MUST be addressed, unless your company wants to spend lots of "quality" time with attorneys. Your problem is apparently; you have not consulted with an attorney and (at least it seems, my apologies if this is untrue) are a bit new to this.
The ownership and license of the software should be spelled out explicitly in the contract. If your not a one-man shop kind of operation (the article doesn't give any real clues), then ask some of your people who've worked in other consulting organizations if they have any of their old contracts. Failing that, again, consult with an attorney who has is familiar with this area. Just don't choose your uncle's-cousin-once-removed-and-is-an-attorney just because they are "cheap" You really want someone who has done this before.
In any case, congrats on landing a client, new gigs of any size are increasingly hard to get in this economy. Just don't spend forever getting a contract in front of your client, they have been know to change their minds

Um close but I think it might be closer to
