I use greylisting since years, love it and recommend it to other people. Unfortunately, the silver bullet is no more, the zombies got smarter. The current stock scams all come through our greylisting, so the senders must have a retry mechanism of some sort.
So the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation has moved to Belgium? That would explain why they have this liquid there that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike dishwater. Or real (german) beer.
In other news, witchcraft was proven ineffective too.
It would have been far more interesting imho to check whether a group of patients praying to their own higher entity themselves would become better sooner/more often than a group of atheists and agnostics.
Mod parent up! 8 years of contract coding, and not a single project that wasn't like this. My code is cluttered with commented out blocks showing the Real Solution[tm], which over time had to be replaced by ugly special case logic making the whole algorithm a pain to look at.
I get really nostalgic when I think about the puzzles they presented us in the university that you could chew on until you had a slick, clean an elegant solution. Almost never happened to me since.

Travelling into the future is no big deal, only technical. theoretically just jump to near light speed a short while, jump back and thousend years will have passed on earth.
However travelling into the past _is_ a big deal, as it questions a lot of physical fundamentals.
Easy: You move back in time by moving *SLOWER* than light. Just sit there and wait..;)
noatime everywhere is silly? Come on! Sacrificing performance of a whole partition just to have your shell say "You've got SPAM[tm]" is what is downright silly. I use noatime since ages on everything (mail comes from imap anyway) and won't look back.
Jessas Christ, of course I was talking of BORDER-routers explicitly configured to drop rfc1918 packets! Where else would you want to drop them, in the very network that is setup to use them?
Enforcing a mtu at his border router is a neat idea, but if he or anybody else sets up links with a smaller mtu (like tunnels or ppp links) within the rfc1918 net, he will run into problems again and will have to decrease the mtu for the entire network.
A transfer network only takes very few adresses. Conserving IP space is important, but imho the existing space is better used on proper routing than on/8 networks for one single company or mass-hosters burning ips by the/18's and all that stuff that we are still having.
Since most routers (should!) drop packets from or to non-routable address-space, you might run into problems with MTU-discovery and the like, which are a real bitch to debug. Also things like ECN may break. Somebody's public transfernets in private ip-space gave me headaches more often than not, which is already too much.
I'd advise to choose clever subnetting and NATing of your available space, it will save you and the rest of the net lots of pain, although private space might seem to work smoothly at first. The problems will show up when you least need them, but they will.
This is in the very heart of Berlin, ubercool!

I drive by this thing every day and it is just too cool to see those geeks showing off their skills in the very heart of Berlin. Alexanderplatz is a very busy public place in Berlin, everybody knows the Blinkenlights.
Google for "Thmoas Lopatic" (the guy behind FullyLicensed and think again. He knows way too much about Linux, FreeBSD, Firewalls and Cryptography to be a Borg.

Did anybyody say grc sucks yet? Somebody has to.

bkw
Some folks (me included) think swish-e is even more impressive and easier to setup and maintain.
1. Forget the "official" contest
2. Set up a cafepress shop with this design.
3. Profit!
I want one!

bullshit! comment should have gone to the 3dtv-article. Well, forget it.

Yep, definitively. I saw 'tubes' in NYC and it changed my life. I gues you have to be there to experience it. The music is fantastic also.
Weren't you supposed to hide your moderating powers from us mere mortals? I'm afraid you just said jehova. ;)
