A lot of the mail I sent out was comming back with notes that it was sent from a black-listed server and therefor was not going to be delivered. As it turned out my host company, was guilty of having open ports and had at one time hosted a spam site. The result was that every IP in their IP block ended up on a black list including mine.
Since my host won't fix their servers, and I can't get my IP removed from the black lists, I'm moving the website to a better host.
Do what I did, and move your site. Chances are, if enough of their clients leave them they might start thinking about closing their open ports and stop relaying spam.
We all know what the Slashdot effect does to a server. Postem, and take them down.
And if we couple that with a chain letter that says, "for every visit to this URL Hormel will donate three cents to Cancer research" they'll be down and off line for weeks.
The "report" was most likely a "tip" from a MicroSoft employee in the form of an envelope of cash and a script they were to use to write the "story."
MS- "Excuse me, but I think you dropped this."
Reporter- "No I didn't."
MS- "Trust me, you did."
Reporter- "Uh, Okay"
MS- "You also dropped your notes on your next story."
Reporter- "I did?"
MS- "Yes, you did. Do you need my friend Rocko here to help you remember?"
Reporter-"Nope! It's all coming together now."
MS- "Hey Rocko, I feel another MS switch commercial coming on!."
..is a known spam host and open mail port. www.sentris.com. Been trying to move my domain for the last two weeks without success. They won't release the DNS or the domain.
I would, but since it's a members only you wouldn't be able to get in. She's tried several times to get in herself, and was livid when she found out about the group. The tech manager has, as one of his duties, to scan through F*cked Company looking for any posts about her company.
One of the most interesting stories was about a client presentation she and several others went to. She didn't have a laptop to use for the presentation so she sent a manager to Best Buy to buy two of them. After returning home from the trip, she had the manager rebox the laptops and return them with the excuse that "they didn't work out with what they needed."
Also while trying to catch the plane, (she showed up 10 minutes before it was scheduled to leave) one of the employees trip and fell while running to the gate, twisting her ankle. The boss yelled to her to either get up and get on the plane or she could look for a new job.
Not really.
The receptionist was one of her toadies that kept notes for her on the phone calls. The head of the tech department, burned all of the CD's with email and disk images for her to look through. And the other weasels that did her bidding (to keep their jobs) did the spying on the rest of the staff.
From a company of over 120, in three years is now down to less than 10. 6 of the employees left are work visa chinese that are nothing more than indentured servants.
snoops peoples emails, record the websites they went to, monitor phone calls (incoming and outgoing) and watch how much time you spent in the bathroom and away from your desk. If she found out you were planning on quitting, she'd have tech image your drive so she could look for anything to sue you for.
And that was if you were on the boss's good side.
Glad to hear the bitch's company is on the verge of failing.
It's one of the few companies I know that has a yahoo group made of former employees where you can go to vent your spleen without worrying about getting sued by your former boss.
Is there even the smallest chance that it's really the other way around? That SCO "stole" code from the 2.4 Linux kernel and that due to employee turn-over, that a previous SCO employee pulled the code from Linux because it worked better that the code SCO had and everyone simply thought it was theirs?
Call your local IBEW and hire a guy that knows what he's doing. For my own home, I've quite often done barter work to help "pay" for any electrical work I couldn't handle myself.
Many of the electrical contractors out there are looking to have a website built. And frankly it's a good trade. Even if they have to "Buy parts" it becomes a business expence and then is deductable, as is any website "billing" I do for them.
It's a win-win situation, and everyone thinks they got the best deal.
But the bottom line is, hire a professional. Your main power line is nothing you want to screw-up.
While its true that the brothels are "not taxed" per say, they do have to pay property taxes on the land it's built on, and the women are taxed on the income from working in the brothel as well as income tax on the share the brothel collects.
The state of Nevada has no state income tax, but the feds sure do.
While never having partaken of the talents of the ladies at the Mustang Ranch (my wife would have kicked my ass), I did have to pick-up a co-worker from there a time or two. Seems he didn't save enough money for the cab ride back home. But at $9.00 for a can of cola, I only stayed long enough to pick up my friend, and to chat with the women.
You seem to have forgotten the fact that the moon is slowly moving away from the earth (.5 inches per year). Since the moon plays such a big roll in the tides of the oceans, I think watching the earth slowly grow dark is the least of your worries.
Think about it.
No tides.
The water grows stagnant from lack of oxygen, life in the oceans die. Man would follow closely behind.
Let's look at this for a moment.
By being smarter and having a better memory, I'll do better at work, and there by get a better/more raises with which to buy a bigger house, more geek toys, and possibly make me attractive to women, and the only drawback is I'll smell like ass.
I guess I can forget those penis enlargement pills I keep getting mail about and go with this.
With all that extra money I'll be making, I'll just spend a little of it on some cologne.
...Or does anyone else see it as rats leaving a sinking ship?
Begin business plan\
kick sand in the biggest bully's face
try to convince him he should apologize
Try to quietly run like hell while he's getting ready to kick the crap out of you.
End business plan\
And the Check's in the mail.
I've never asked anyone to do this before.
I won't cum in your mouth
Of course I'll respect you and call you.
You forgot to turn on your sarcasm light.
It's a good thing my bullsh*t detector caught it!.
I figure as long as we have a government that keeps secrets, and hides the truth from us, then I have every right to keep my secrets from them and to keep my personal information private.
Gee, the McDonalds down the street is hiring, as is two donut shops and a couple of other fastfood places I drive by each morning.
You'd think that the Telemarketers would notice that since millions of people signed up to be on the list that nobody wants to listen to their crappy sales pitches. But I guess when you think about it, they're just the spammers of their media.
If it costs them money, and puts them out of business then I'm all for it.
"completely robotic fast food restaurants in 2030"
I guess the author hasn't been eating at any fast food joints lately. Or run into the mindless drones that have been serving me for the last few years...
They actually WANT coffee without caffeine?
And these "scientists" call themselves geeks. How can any self-respecting geek further the satanic cause of the Anti-Coffee?
I do everything I can to NOT go near the Anti-Coffee.
To quote the Bart; "Bart no like!"
Give me Coffee, or give me Jolt Cola. But keep your bland, non-caffeinated fluid to yourself.
Having lived in Nevada for 8 years, Vegas is the last place someone with OCD should live.
That is, I'm guessing he has OCD. Anyone that spends that much time playing a game to the detriment of his business, and the financial health of his family I'll take a chance and label him with OCD.
I see him being on a future episode of COPS or a stain on the sidewalk from being a complete and total failure.
For crying out loud! Step away from the keyboard and get a freaking job!
My old company was quickly swirling down the bowl. I and the rest of the coders were putting in bucketloads of OT and not getting paid for it (salaried). The owner felt that OT was "part of the job" and that if we couldn't "finish our daily tasks" in 8 hours, it was our fault we were putting in the OT.
Over the course of the next year, everyone quit and went on to greener pastures. The owner, responded by hiring Chinese immigrants on a work sponsor visa. This locked them into a three year contract where they had to work for baseline crappy pay (min. wage). The tech department is now 100% Indentured Servants and if they try to look or go elsewhere the owner pulls the sponsorship and has INS ship them back home.
Do you feel any concern that when using DARPA money that your work may end up being used for Closed Source/military uses reather than Open Source/peacful uses?
