If you are getting large volumes of e-mail spam from @home and no response from their abuse dept, why not start working towards getting them in the RBL? See here for details on the procedure.
Supporting flamers, in *any* constructive debate, is wrong.
Yes, but there is also a difference between supporting flamers and supporting the right to flame. The problem with any form of moderation scheme is that you no longer have direct control over what you read. Your view of the discussion becomes controlled by another individual (or individuals) who may or may not apply the same values as you when determining whether a post deserves moderation. At least the Slashdot moderation scheme gives you the option of seeing an unfiltered discussion.
Flames (especially the "please die" or "you suck" variety) only make the flamer look like an idiot. Perhaps the best way to deal with flamers (and trolls) is to help other people to realise this rather than try to create a technical solution that might throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Do the censorware manufacturers need to be more honest in their claims about the effeciveness of their software? Should they be forced to disclose the criteria they use for filtering?
Do you feel that censorware manufacturers are playing on the fears of parents who fear less technologically aware than their kids, and do they tend to give the impression that their software is an instant solution?
Finally, what advice would you give to parents who are concerned about the kinds of material that their kids might access on the Internet?
Is this about encouraging young people to be intersted in technical careers, or is it about sending e-greeting cards (presumably with targetted banner advertisements) to technical proffessionals?
Why not just call it "National Spam a Techie Day" and at least be honest about it.

Before anyone rushes to flame me, I don't agree with the above assesment of the South Park movie (I saw it on a recent trip to the US and thought it was great). This is the sort of thing that the cinema owners get bombarded with from the other side.
Perhaps the people who have been affected by this spam should consider starting the process of complaints to the offending open relay postmaster with a view to getting them listed on the RBL if they don't close it.
We as a community really need to stop worshiping Linux. Yes, Linux is a good OS, but you know what, it's not the best OS. There is no single best OS, and as long as people keep innovating, that will always be the case.
I agree with this. Rather than promote a single OS, the important thing to do is to promote open standards and protocols. This allows for the selection of the best operating system for a specific task without having to worry about proprietary and "extended" protocols.

Why even bother selecting a specific platform?
Why not just select a fixed budget for hardware and software and get both sides to come up with the best solution they can put together within that budget? Surely that is closer to the constraints that people are working to when they are looking for a solution.
This postiton is a result of libel action taken against Demon Internet by Dr. Laurence Godfrey, a British Physicist. As a result of the judgement in this case, Demon were held responsible because they did not remove the posting from their servers when given notice of the defamatory article. The chilling aspect of this is that the ISP is forced to become judge and jury, or risk paying out in libel cases.
It is not a problem specific to Demon, it is a problem with UK law as it presently stands. There is a BBC news article about the ruling.

There are more actual disclaimers at the Rinkworks site .

Since when is 512 half of 768?
512 is 2/3 of 768, which makes sense if you can only use 2 slots instead of 3.

Here's how to use it to filter spam.
