  1. an outsourced solution on Spam Filtering For Small/Medium Business? · · Score: 1

    Has anyone suggested the "cleanmx" service from dragonfli.ca? I have a few small/medium-business clients I do IT support for and it's worked amazing as an anti-spam solution.

    From what I understand, you point your domains' MX records to their "cleanmx" box, it does all the spam filtering, then forwards the mail on to your real MX server. They offer several behaviors like "just mark the spam" VS "delete the spam", and at the end of the month they let you know how many emails it processed for each domain, and how many spam messages it found.

    They advertise no false positives and 96% efficiency on false negatives.

  2. real Linux news from 2 weeks ago on Linux Kernel v2.6.23 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Not to nitpick, but the milw0rm main page says '2007-09-27' beside that exploit. I'd hardly call that today's Linux news.

  3. Re:Hey you, listen to me on date +%s Turning 1111111111 · · Score: 1

    What are you rambling on about? Everyone knows the solution to the 32-bit time problem is in the IBM5100.

  4. read the fracking article on Sims 2 Hacks Spread Like Viruses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The game lets you share your acomplishments on EA's Sims 2 website. When you "check out" someone's house, the hacked objects get imported into your copy of the game. If you then export one of your houses, the hacked objects propigate.

  6. Green Party on Campaigning for Copyright in Canada · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sharing files is not illegal reproducing copyrighted materials without permission and distributing them is. File sharing should not be prohibited, as it is simple transmission of information.
    ...
    The Green Party believes that the open discussion of copy protection mechanisms (including their mechanism and means to circumvent them) can only result in the creation of better copy protection schemes. Private citizens have the right to own and control devices used for lawful purposes.
    ...
    Closed protocols, systems, and architectures can play host to deleterious behaviour that is virtually impossible to correct. Open standards and architectures are necessary for any long-lived system.

    I havn't checked the rest of their platform, but they sure seem informed and their answers to this survey. Can't say the same about the Liberals though; all I got out of their response was "We don't know, but whatever it is it'll be good for the Canadian economy". Bah! Spouting off slogans isn't an answer!

    Where are the PC's responses? And the Bloc? I hope posting to slashdot will expediate the reply processes.

  7. Neverwinter Nights already does this: on E3 - BioWare Shows Off Dragon Age Details · · Score: 5, Informative

    What makes the combat system unique is that the game can be played in the over-the-shoulder mode of Knights of the Old Republic or in the tactical overhead mode of Baldur's Gate. The player can toggle back and forth in whatever way feels comfortable.
    in NWN, press the NumPad-* changes between other-the-shoulder & bird's eye.
    The game also utilizes the "combat pause," which allows players to plan strategy while the action is frozen.
    NWN does this too; assigned to Spacebar by default.
    So where's the inovation?

  8. no news here on Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services · · Score: 0
    Quoth the article:
    McCaleb said does not know why his sites were attacked. "It's strange to me that these people are virus writers and pointing their fingers at others," he said in a phone interview yesterday. "Obviously they don't have the highest morals if they are hurting people's computers."


    first of all: duh! virus writers not having high morals is a given. get over it.

    second: obviously if the virus writers, who USUALLY say "I did it! I dit it! Hey look at me!" say "nope, sorry. wrong guy" then it seems that the obvious answer is that it isn't them. The simplest answer is usually the right one.

    I'm sure everyone else will speculate as to who it was that crafted this offshoot, and they're probably closer to an answer than the author.
  9. Re:Negative branding? on Wizards Of The Coast Tries Star Sisterz, Duel Masters · · Score: 0

    No, but their older brother is going to buy it for them as soon as it comes out.

  10. It was in a movie once... on Downsides to Intrafamily IM? · · Score: 0

    I think the movie was Honey I Shrunk The Kids. For everyone looking for downfalls, I think this one is pretty obvious.

  11. Sounds like a book I read once... on Human-Mouse Hybrids? · · Score: 0

    "Island of Doctor Moreau" by H.G. Wells was a great book. Animal-human hybrids being created and experimented on. Good stuff.
