So far I have blocked about 94% of the SPAM coming in through our mail server. It only misses a couple and is highly configurable! Download and install it!
OFFTOPIC!? With that great deal of spam reduction, the space required to store the emails is greatly reduced!
SPAM is a burden to everyone. As a system admin, I was told to do something about it. After some research, the best solution was to impliment SpamAssassin on our linux mail server. I tried sendmail SPAM filters, procmail rules, etc. SpamAssassin is undoubtedly the best solution and I recommend it to everyone. It needs to be implimented at the server level, so email your ISP if you don't have root access. It is a simple perl script that can be run with sendmail (using a C++ version) or in procmail (perl). It is very easy to setup using perl CMOS.
How does it work so well? Spamassassin checks the headers and body of every email passing in to the mail server. It searches the email for certain keywords and phrases and other SPAM characteristics and assigns points to the email based on these. It works very well and has many options --including the ability to have "black lists" and "white lists" in file glob format.

The international drivers license features a 2D bar code than can hold 100 times more information than standard bar codes. This type of barcode would be a great feature to identify the individual with more detail.

Personal websites for the common user do not need their own domain. They can benefit from Google greatly. However, it is very important for companies to have their own domain so they can both host a website and use email addresses with their own domain.

NASA website posts Geminid meteor info

Geminid Meteor Shower

NASA has a great article about Geminid meteors. The number of meteors has increased greatly since first they first appeared in the mid-1800's. NASA also provides a video taken from a man in CA, December 13, 1998.
This is so true. Announce that the virus is going around and that so-and-so user ran it on the PA. Employees will be scared to open anything not sent from someone they know.
Of course, follow up by an email to everyone would be appropriate afterwards.
I disagree. I haven't used webrings for a couple years, but when I did, I found them to be almost useless. Half of the time I would get a 404 Page not found error. It only made me frustrated and I just started using search engines to find related linux pages. Some websites would even become a part of a webring for the sole purpose of increasing traffic to their site! I remember hitting "next site" on the linux webring, and finding something completely unrelated.
Off the topic of linux webrings, there exists quite a few sites that are designed to let anyone create and manage webrings. An example is Ring Surf. The site claims they have over 20,000 rings. Other sites that offer many tools for webmasters, such as Bravenet offer ring setup as well.
As for me, I never joined the cult of webrings because I found them to be useless and didn't want to waste the space on my pages. I'm surprised webrings lasted as long as they did.
At my college, we run windows 2000 computers in the labs/classrooms with everyone logged in using Novell. The teacher is able to put your screen up on the projection screen by knowing your login ID or computer location. They can also make every computer in the lab display what is on the professors computer (visual studio for example), or alternatively, the prof can display a little text message or picture on your screen, not allowing you to have access. (such as "sorry:-(") This helps keep students from using AIM and browsing during class.
The 486-66mhz should meet or exceed your needs. I have the same setup on my 486-25mhz machine at home and it works flawlessly; bearing my internet connection doesnt fail. It has been running for months and is very stable. I would undoubtedly suggest using your old machine as a firewall and running IP masquerading. BTW, I only have 8mb of ram on my firewall machine!
Most software companies have not been established like those of the older industries, but keep this in mind: These companies may have been born at night, but they weren't born yesterday. They know how the new games are played, and they are fighting to keep their awarded copyrights their own. There was no need for rockefeller's standard Oil to copyright/patent their products/processes. Undoubtedly, times have changed.
The RIAA is just trying to extend copyright on the music for as long as they possibly can. If they granted copyright to the artist, it would run out in perhaps 5-10 years, but if the RIAA member companies kept it. The fucken RIAA just wants everyone's money; that's the bottom line. Fuck the music industry, let them bring their prices back to reality. If they were somewhat fair about prices, I would consider buying a cd more often that once every couple of years.
It doesnt make sense to me...I've read the article and I dont even see a mention of EMU!!! I've used many emulators for a couple years...Mike Tysons Punchout for good ol' Nintendo is my favorite. The ROM's are usually relatively easy to find, but the sites aren't worth bookmarking because they usually dont last for more than a couple months. I can't wait to start using the emulators again and try them with an optical mouse, and perhaps a joystick.
I was just thinking that software companies that make games could produce a game which would allow a webcam to put a picture of the user on the screen, and they could play the game with a wheel, pedal, ball or bat. I think it's an interesting concept that would take off. btw...did they even mention emu?

Do you plan to use ReiserFS for metadata journaling?

If you are at all interested in current ICANN news I highly recommend http://www.icannwatch.org/.

Public humiliation always worked well for me!

What a great webserver... I think an increase in bandwidth is in order.
Linux is like a wigwam - no windows, no gates, apache inside!

I've used both a mac and pc for mpeg 4 structured audio instead of MIDI...mac has by far worse performance.
andrew's newest releases have, infact, been released under his permissions from a third party company based in CA
What measures would be taken to protect the security in these network boxes. I would consider getting one if it was cheap and ran linux
