It'd be cool if they could put in a function in the hardware that would calculate and fill out the media with [standardized] redundancy data. You'd want it do be done in hardware to be fast, compatible and not generate unneccesary bus traffic.
Basically, the burn software would feature a '[X] Fill out with redundancy data and finalize disc'-option box together with the '[X] Finalize disc' one.
I've sometimes done this by hand, but it takes forever to calculate the data, and you don't get it properly distributed over the disc, etc, etc. I think it'd be better done in hardware.
Guess there's no hope though, it'd up the cost a dollar, and we all know that's just impossible to bear. <sigh>

It's irrational because I could be a spam trap (and if it comes through, off to spamcop it goes), and they're wasting time and resources talking to my mailer without ever getting through.
Maybe I should start teergrubing on RCPT TO rejection. See how that turns out.
If it's merely a question of "rank", shouldn't the attribute be norank instead of nofollow? I expect a link tagged "nofollow" to, well, not get followed.
For a sanerational person maybe, but that's not how spammers work.
A quick example: For the last four years I've been getting spam to the account "stef" at my domain.
There is no account "stef" on my domain, and there haven't been for at least four years (previous owner I guess). So mail is rejected at RCPT TO.
... still they keep coming, year after year after year. Tell me that's rational.
Not every opportunity will disappear with this new link-attribute, and so there's still reason for spammers to spam. After all, it's really no effort on their part.
I'm not really into blogging so I don't know how big of a problem this is. I get some spam in my guestbook, which I promptly remove. The spam iteself is what's really irritaing, not the potential "elevating" of the spamvertised site in search-engines, where I've never personally run across one that I can remember.
Am I correct in assuming that these sites pops up and down relatively often? Maybe it'd be possible to use temporal component to the rating. Say if the link points to a site which was just registered two days ago, it's given a very very low weight, and then you ramp up as time goes by. As spam gets deleted from blogs and guestbooks, time would work against these spammers. Or? I dunno.

The ??AA said "The public is evil, they're going to use these devices for theft of our precious "IP"! Since we can't control this, we demand a blanket levy put on these devices, made payable to our puppet umbrella organisation whose purpose it is to "fairly" distribute said levy to ourselves."
The ??AA members could then lie back and enjoy their new "tax", having no more incentive to actually produce anything. "Who would have thought, that taxes could be so much fun?", They said.

So with Debian, like any good dist, you'd just "apt-get install" whatever packages you need.
With regards to the bug I mentioned I can report that I believe I've found the problem. At least on my system the new feature(s) introduced in the 0.6-series to store the triples in plain text, do not work. Disabling this feature in/etc/greylistd/config seems to have solved my problem.
RBL (list.dsbl.org : bl.spamcop.net : blackholes.mail-abuse.org : sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org : multihop.dsbl.org : cbl.abuseat.org) + greylistd == average 0 spam in inbox/day.
What I like best about this approach is that you reject most of the spam at SMTP-time without accepting it. If I could I'd add spam-assassin-on-SMTP to the end of the chain, but my server is tight on memory:-(
(Unfortunately there's a bug somewhere between the debian greylistd and python whereby the daemon shuts down on me all the time, but I've lodged a bug report and hope to get some help tracking it down.)
No, but what are they going to do with their desktop x86-CPUs during 2005? The P4 is dead in the water at just below 4GHz. The dual-cores and above aren't ready for another 12 months.
When was the last time that nothing happened to a processor line for twelve months? The P4 in its various incarnations is their main desktop platform and its offspring (Xeons) are on the server side too.
I guess they could push the Pentium-M for desktops, but... let's just say that they've sort of made their bed with the gigahertz-race.
was offering a consumer solution that is suitable for the home.
Guess you don't have very fast internet access at home then? I know people who have gone through all the popular "home" routers (including the one you mention), and none of them could handle the throughput!
And just for the record, the manufacturers refuse to give any data on the rated max speed of their wares. Look around. You won't find it.
See how fun you think it is when you have 10mbit or 100mbit home, and you only get 50-60% throughput.

Question: What are you willing to sacrifice for those freedoms?
No, it's going to go like this:
The ??AA said "The public is evil, they're going to use these devices for theft of our precious "IP"! Since we can't control this, we demand a blanket levy put on these devices, made payable to our puppet umbrella organisation whose purpose it is to "fairly" distribute said levy to ourselves."

The End.
