This is the same as a landlord advertising in GQ or Penthouse, just because facebook is able to offer more accurate reporting does not criminalize an effort to appeal to the people you want to attract. Personally I think facebook is crap and cancelled my account the day trump got elected but if advertisers want their ads to go to only men that is the advertisers goal and should not be a crime in general.
the provided reference to spamhaus for xo is for 36 reported subnets delegated by swip to the named end-users. None of those instances are larger than/22. Recorded reports such as these should not be considered indicative of possible problem using addresses from other subnets delegated by xo. If the enduser that has been blacklisted would like to send mail to servers that blacklist using spamhaus then that individual user or corporation is affected until they address the issue.
All of this has no affect on users of adjacent subnets and and is seems low to me considering the size and scope of IP assignments that spamhaus recognizes as belonging to xo.
The site is blocking the referrer, I have a plugin in firefox that masks the referrer is there a way to link to the page in html and force the referrer? I stumbled across their blocking tactic after coming back to slashdot from a failed failed google images search for this suprisingly majestic creation.
It seems that it was no secret that the body of these messages were going to be made public. If we ignore or miss the important disclaimer about the editing only being done until it became inconveinient it still seems to me that common sense would tell you not to put personal information in the BODY of the message as the risk of human or programatic error during the editing process would seem at least possible if not altogether likely.
I personally would never send my real email address to a public anything online, much less my name and phone number. I don't agree with the release of this information but for those who need a lesson in personal privacy management perhaps this will help them understand.
I am not in a position where I can affirm that Mr. Mitnick is reformed and can be trusted. However, I disagree with statements such as "Criminals are Criminals".
And in answer to the assumption that Fortune 500 would not hire a criminal for his services, I would like to point out that many of these companies have hired Mr. Frank Abagnale in the past, who first made himself famous for check fraud before working with the FBI and then creating his own consulting firm. He is an example that an ex-criminal can become successful by using the same skills that made him a criminal in the first place, and that law enforcement and big companies do sometimes hire such people for their services.
He is spamming for the sales of illegally copied software and used his home address in the registration of his domain name. This guy would make a nice poster boy for the BSA guys and for once I would have to agree with them. As far as I am concerned this is the reason the public availability of registration info should be and mostly is requirement, to hold idiots like this guy responsible for their intrusions.
There is nothing wrong with making a network file indexer. Not amount of political posturing by the RIAA is going to be able to change that. Not as long as we are here.
I guess these guys haven't heard of dvdrw. Seriusly why would I want to spend 15$ for 5GB of sotrage that is only good with a special drive that has no other use besides storage. At about a dollar a blank and falling DVD-RW offer all the functionality of this product for a fraction of the cost and you can play movies in the drive, burn cdr, run programs etc...
This does not sound too exciting to me with all the development going into holographic storage and the ability to archive terabytes onto state of the art media. 5gb is simply not enough to do very much anymore.
Just my opinion but this has to be one of the most retarded science fiction shows I have ever seen. I will be glad when they get rid of it and hope they come up with something more interesting and profitable for themselves.
Call me old fashioned but I simply wouldn't trust any pharmacy that was completely automated. I know people make mistakes but who do you hold responsible when the computer makes a mistake? The hospital ? They will blame the syadmins who will invariably say it was the programmer's fault, ad infinitum. Of course I think direct deposit is too risky too. Maybe it is because when I grew up computerized systems were notoriously unreliable, but there is something to be said about a pharmacist hand packaging your meds and speaking to you about their use at delivery. You lose that sanity check at the slot on a vending machine.
The point of the original comment was that Jackson's beef with SONY has nothing to do with his ethnicity. Him calling upon it as a rallying cry is pathetic and detracts from the issue at hand.
If the recording industry expects to be able to argue that they "need" these royalties to make up for the people ripping the CD and then selling the original copy, then their collection of the fees eliminates them from pursuing possessors of the CD's contents but not the original CD.
I personally could care less if the record industry loses some of the fat that they gained complacently churning out over-priced low-quality merchandise. I certainly don't want any government enforced welfare for a multi-billion dollar industry. If they dont want people copying their files then they need to provide adequate copy-protection that doesn't prevent fair-use. If they can't do that it is not my or our government's problem. Trying to stick their hands in the pockets of students and small shop owners is one mroe example of why government should only be invoked to protect the consumer's intrests the coprporations must develop a viable strategy and product line or pass away so that the next innovator can show them how.
Ineternet Service Providers should be required to focus on effectively providing a link to the network and thats it. Routing and reliability is the job that I look to my ISP to perform. The governement threatening an ISP as a means to force their misunderstanding on the people is not something I welcome and I hope the message gets across soon.
If someone is hosting something that is illegal then go after the someone and not their ISP or even worse the ISP of someone else that just happens to be linking to the same internet. If you can't get to that someone then deal with it. The internet is much bigger than Pennsylvania and the narrow views of whatever government entity that gets to tell my ISP what I can see.
I for one will always be in favor of deciding what filtering needs to be done on my connection to the internet and think that the voters in Pennsylvania should let there representativers know that this heavy handed attempt is nothing short of an attempt to control something that can not be controlled in this manner.
Getting a response on problem issues from netsol is like pulling teeth. There phone support queues are a day long event and only yield results part of the time.
Recently EarthLink moved all new domain regitrations to register.com who are more responsive especially with their implementation of atomic dns rfc2136 and smooth online interface.
These jokers may be biggest registrar for now but anyone who has had to deal with them on a regular basis is not of the opinion that they are the best place to take your business.
If one third of the operating income walks away from the spectators seats and into a crucial segment of the internet domain routing structure with its own service to fulfill then and IMHO only then will we see the Commerce Department become involved and require the almighty icann to accept public standards and play nice.
I think this is a good thing. That way no single frame of mind will have total sway over how we settle disputes for names and what it costs to have a presence.
Suddenly ICANN doesn't seem as important anymore when they are being instructed by the commerce department to cooperate in the intrest of the greater good.
For a mere 720$ (retail) a pop the place where I work, bought all the employees Herman-Miller Aeron
seating. If you have never tried one of these thing then you are missing out if you have to sit all day at a keyboard. My neck used to kill me at the end of the day, even after 5 years of at the desk. One day in one of these puppies and I am almost as comfortable when I am in bed.

Before this place becomes overwhelmed by claims that EarthLink is charging this increase retroactively. This price increase will only affect new sign-ups and customers whose original contract has expiried.
Something nobody has caught here yet as far as I have seen is that there is absolutely no charge for setup or equipment under the new contract. Where for a time there was a 100$ fee for equipment and provisioning under the 39.95$ deal.
A quick check of the math reveals this is basically the same deal (+/- 20$ a year) for new customers. For existing customers it is unfortunate but as revenues from advertising decrease and prices for bandwidth go up the market reflects those changes and prices reflect the market.
Not a scam just a sound business model. Besides this isn't exactly fair coverage as the decision to go to 49.95 a month was also made by SBC, Verizon, and others almost simultaneous to EarthLink's decision. Not all of them are offering free set-up at this time either.
Understandbly most consumers are going to be upset when prices go up, for any service. Perhaps we are forgetting the nature of the game here. Nothpoint Verizon tried to stay in this game at a reduced rate and did anyone read their customer's comments when they just got the plug pulled? Most of them that got service restored elsewhere were down for at least 2 weeks. This price increase was to maintain a substainable service.
I don't know how someone could sign a 6 month contract and then feel like they were lied to when either side attempts to renegotiate that contract at the end of 6 months.
The prices of internet access are going up, advertising revenues are going down, and at this point everyone except the telephone company monopolies are paying out 75% of DSL revenues just to lease the loops.
No one is going to produce anything that said 39.95 was for a lifetime and to anyone who actually believed a 6 month contact was forever ? Well sometimes you just have to stop and think before you believe.
Look at Earthlink; their slogan is, "We're 10% better than AOL." For most people that's enough. Sure, people reading this comment probably want shell access on a *nix box for their $20/month, but Joe Sixpack just wants something that's easy to use (i.e. limited in options and functionality so it doesn't confuse him).
EarthLink's campaign to bail out the fragmented ISP market and provide a viable alternative to AOL/Time Warner is something that should be applauded. To begin with there are not many if any other players looking in this direction for new business opportunities. If not for ELNK's interest we would be reading alot more about situations like the recent Northpoint/Verio fiasco that left tens of thousands of people without internet access and established email addresses.
Sure there are always going to be those people who would have preferred anything but the inevitable, what can you do? Providing quality service with skilled technical support and customer service is not possible at a profitable level in today's market until you begin to divide your costs into the revenue that only comes from millions of subscribers.
The 'mom and pop' scenario functioned when a real income was to be had from advertising and investors were excited about the possibilities. That is no longer a reality and one should begin to consider the long term viability of their ISP before commiting to them.
If your ISP is purchased by EarthLink then I welcome you to sample the services. From the most reliable mail servers in the industry to full-service and online management for almost all account features. Award winning technical support and customer service are only the beginning.
By the way port 25 blocking is necessary. If you stop and think about it, why should any network administrator be asked to pay for your outbound mail to some spam server is malaysia or even worse those people who would log in to EarthLink's smtp server from another network. Nobody here likes recieving spam and I think we all know the amount of traffic and expense that can occur when one doesn't control the mail that is generated from their network. If you really are using your own mail server for business purposes then purchase a dedicated line and use it how you see fit.
By the way, EarthLink's slogan is best surmised by their Core Values and Beliefs. I do not know where you got the 10% better than AOL but its not accurate.

I am not in a position where I can affirm that Mr. Mitnick is reformed and can be trusted. However, I disagree with statements such as "Criminals are Criminals".
And in answer to the assumption that Fortune 500 would not hire a criminal for his services, I would like to point out that many of these companies have hired Mr. Frank Abagnale in the past, who first made himself famous for check fraud before working with the FBI and then creating his own consulting firm. He is an example that an ex-criminal can become successful by using the same skills that made him a criminal in the first place, and that law enforcement and big companies do sometimes hire such people for their services.
He is spamming for the sales of illegally copied software and used his home address in the registration of his domain name.

It seems to me that unless the defendants promoted their tools as a means to find and download illegal software that Hillary and Co.© have just followed their favoured trend here of complete ignorance and arrogance. Let them sue and lose it will make a nice precedent.
