    That's terrible.

    Set up a MTA at another hosting service as a relay?

    RCN, for example, blocks outgoing e-mail (port 25)

    Use submission, or a different port.

    especialy people here that have enough knowledge on doing what is needed.

    The ./ demographic has shifted drastically over the last 10 years.

    Been doing it for 15 years. Never had a problem.

  5. Re:No filter is truly effective on Ask Slashdot: How Effective Is Your ISP's Spam Filter? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you that the fundamental problem is economics and the fact that there is incentive to spam.. however, I've had the same email address for 15 years and have had good luck with rbls, razor/pyzor, and spamassassin.

    I've been running my own MTA for 15 years. Not on any whitelists. No problems.

  8. I'm tired on Ask Slashdot: What's the Harm In a Default Setting For Div By Zero? · · Score: 1

    After 20 years of programming, I'm tired of checking all the return values of all the functions I call. Is there a way we can agree that functions should never return an error? Is there ever a case where you want a function to return an error?

    Typical Feinstein.

    No, they're the developers I have to hand hold for hours at a time, and the ones whose code I have to fix because they're incompetent.

    An IDE is quite literally the least important feature of a language.

    What a joke.

    I have never worked anywhere else but on an open floorplan.

    And yet:

    I know (from experience) I would be less productive in a cubicle or in my own office. I know (again from experience) this is the case for the majority of people.

    From your vast experience not working anywhere else but on an open floorplan, and your vast experience not being anybody else but yourself?

  15. BSP? on New Freescale I.MX6 SoCs Include IoT-focused UltraLite · · Score: 1

    BSP? Why do vendors still insist on using that antiquated bullshit TLA? If your damn peripheral code isn't in the mainline tree, it probably sucks. Hooray for shoddy code developed by interns.

    Wait, just about every SoC ARM kernel is built from a fork. Idiots.

    "Well regulated", relevant or not, means well equipped and trained. Always has. Not sure what you think it means, you haven't said.

    As far as "consequences" go, the states with the strongest laws have the highest incidence of violent crime.

    You sure you want to trot out the fallacy that prohibition is effective? Didn't work out very well for alcohol, utterly failed for MJ.

  24. Re:Just Askin' on Come and Take It, Texas Gun Enthusiasts (Video) · · Score: 1

    The definition of "well regulated" has not changed, and Heller/McDonald specifically dismantle the infantile "militia" argument:

    [T]he activities [the Amendment] protects are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual's enjoyment of the right contingent upon his or her continued or intermittent enrollment in the militia.

    Furthermore, under US v. Miller, the 2nd Amendment covers arms "commonly used for self defense", which certainly does not exclude "military" weapons, especially since the 2A specifically protected state of the art (at the time) firearms equipped by infantry.

    There is basically nothing about your post which is even remotely factual - just typical partisan whining.

    You'd also have to convince the AI to not actually try to learn anything new, or it might actually try to confirm that the things you assert are, in fact, true (or at least that you've given it non-obvious, falsifiable truisms to follow).
