  1. Re:The French Make out game show.. on Will The X-Box Be A TiVO Rival? · · Score: 2
    That reminds me of this great game show I saw while in Paris. I don't quite remeber how they hooked people up, but the winners would go back stage and make out

    Snort! You don't speak French or you would have understood that those were actors. Soft porn is a staple of late-nite TV on some channels here. Nothing shocking when you consider that full fronal nudity on prime-time is common. The major problem the producers have isn't finding actors who are willing, but finding a scenario. Watching people make out bores people unless there's a story behind it, so they came up with versions of "The Dating Game" & "This Is Your Life", etc.

    No, Instead we have French courts trying to impose what may or may not be sold throughout the Internet based on french law...

  3. Re:Global Warming Agenda on Water On The North Pole · · Score: 2

    Then again, certain recent studies over the past decade have shown that rapid temperature changes _have_ occured in the past, notably during the transitions to/from ice ages. The transition periods were short enough to be undefinable in the geologic record, i.e.: under 50 years. IIRC correctly this was published a few years ago in an article in Scientific American

  4. Re:Isn't what he did... on Happy Independence Day, Jose · · Score: 1

    José Bové is a anarco-popularlist POLITITIAN, a long time wannabe of France's extreme left. Bové is using a groundswell of anti-americanism being fueled by those in France who are fondly reminiscing about how "nice" and "equal" conditions were behind the former iron curtain.

    If he was "protecting" the french farmers then why did he attack a franchise that relies almost entirely on french/european farm products? Over 85% of Macdo's (as they are called here in France) products are bought from french farmers. Over 10% of the rest is from other european sources.

    This POLITITIAN (pronounced in french I know no viler epithet) uses attacks upon others to further his agenda, then wraps himself in the french flag saying he is "defending" us.

    Two weeks ago in britanny another group left a bomb in another Macdo that killed a 22 year old employee. Bové once again blamed the forces of globalisation instead of taking any blame for his examples.

    Bové's actions do not speak of freedom, they are more akin to the burning of the Riechstag.

    Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

  5. Use blacklists! on E-mail Blacklists on a User Basis? · · Score: 1
    Given the clueless nature of your ISP's response this may be asking for too much but what they should be doing is using a MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) that uses blacklists to refuse Email from known SPAM sites & open relays.

    General information on blocking Spam can be found at http://spam.abuse.net/tools/mailblock.html

    If they are using an up to date version of sendmail and wish to use a local blacklist this is trivial and is documented at the following URL: http://www.sendmail.org/antispam.html

    Look around sendmail.org to find detailed info on using blacklists.

    Another good reference is http://www.orbs.net

    Spammers have gotten wise to the fact that using their own sites to send their Spam gets them blacklisted in short order. However there are lots of broken sites that accept anonymous relaying. Orbs keeps a DB of these sites so you can refuse to accept Email from these potential sources of Spam.
