Someone notify CNN/Fox/whoever. that's the kind of shit that could DESTROY Hatch's career, if approached right.
No, that's the kind of mistake that will end his webmaster's employment, that's all.
First, the webmaster uses unlicensed software, resulting in a media black eye (you really didn't think Orrin himself installed the software, did you!!?!).
Now the genius has outdone himself with a direct link to a porn site on a congressional site. Bravo. One more web designer looking for work.
We asked the ISPs to identify the site owner, as required by law (because he accepts credit cards)
Can you explain this a bit further? I'd like to be able to use that approach myself when applicable, but I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here, and what law you are referring to.

Spam Meeting Wrap-up
·
· Score: 2, Informative
mail arrives from sender@example.com for victim@localdomain.com
Before allowing the dialog to progress past RCPT FROM, postfix attempts to send mail to sender@example.com. The mail connection is never completed -- just the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO are attempted, so sender@example.com never receives any email as a result of this probe. (postmaster might note a log entry for NULL connection...whatever).
If example.com's mail server says "sender@example.com: no such user," the incoming mail connection in #1 is refused.
If example.com's mail server accepts mail for sender@example.com, the mail connection for #1 is allowed to proceed.
If example.com's mail server takes too long to respond, the mail connection for #1 is given a 450 (try again) response. By the time the sender's server tries again, the attempt to verify sender@example.com's address should have succeeded, and will be cached by postfix.
Add sbl.spamhaus.org and list.dsbl.org RBLs (very, very low false positives), and watch the spam disappear.
Q: Are you going to sell the results of this project to large pharmaceutical companies?
A: No. The results of this study are the intellectual property of the University of Oxford and the National Foundation for Cancer Research, who will make the scientific findings of this project available to the greater scientific community.
The annoying part is that the petition is redacted. When did this stuff become state secrets? Telling us when AOL will roll out Earthlink will blow the whole multibillion dollar empire? Ughh.
And everybody has a fast computer on which to recompile the software they use nightly, if necessary.
Number one, you don't recompile the software (generally) on a Debian system. apt-get provides precompiled binaries, seamlessly downloaded, installed, and configured for your system.
Number two, I don't want to have to update my OS nightly. Maybe an occasional bug fix, but if you track the activity associated with the unstable (read currently woody) version of Debian, you'll see that's too much heartache for your typical user to deal with.
The freeze leads to a release, and the release provides a sane collection of libraries and applications that play well together. "Stable" is just that...
Plus, I don't want to drop a 20 spot on CDs that will be obsolete tomorrow.

2.2 vs 2.4
·
· Score: 3
isn't that the true breakthru in 2.4? SMP scalability, especially the scalability of the new networking code? I'd really like to see SMP 2.4 vs. SMP 2.2 vs. SMP 2K.
you should have reported that to spamcop. The problem wasn't the spamcop software (it got the message to you, now didn't it). The problem was with
the person who submitted non-spam as spam. Spamcop has rules against that. The person who
submitted that non-spam broke those rules.
And that's assuming that your customer didn't spam those people. Just because his website makes you push buttons to sign up doesn't mean he doesn't also augment his list with some non-opt-ins as well.
check out spamcop. They'll notify abuse@, postmaster@, etc., on your behalf. Just cut and paste your spam into their web form. Their cgi does the rest. Scans the headers, locates the true source(s) of the spam, looks up any links/email addresses in the message itself. Works great.
I said a compromise. A compromise between a real vacation and no vacation at all. Would you rather (a) go to work next week, or (b) go to St. Thomas next week and dial into work 3 or 4 times?
If those are my only two choices, I choose (b). And when I return, I'd work on adding option c in the future, where (c) is the ability to take a vacation like you've described.
do you want ls? ps? mount? nfs?/proc? verbose error messages? ramdisks? modutils? syslogd? telnetd?
I'd lean towards a system that lets you have the smallest configurable footprint, while offering you the largest suite of "optional" tools, most of which are not optional during the debug sequence.
Instead of "cvs commit" you use "cvsq commit". Later, when you are online, you type "cvsq upload" to cause the queued commits to get pushed to the CVS server.

Lawyers.
Who makes up 90% of our government?
Layers.
On April 15th, I'd have to agree with this, as written. However, sir, you have defamed the government. Prepare to be laid, erm, served.

yes, but this isn't Napster, it's Naptser (see title). Looks like Michael's been morphing song names a bit too long.

Also, set up chkproc to monitor processes and respawn them when they die (Linux only, but you can probably port it to other unices).
Perhaps with the combination of the two you can make it a week or two, with your pager only interrupting your tropical siesta a few times.
Oh my. Who to believe??
Welcome aboard, Jeff. Debian is a great distro.
frozen is what testing will become just prior to release (and thereby becoming stable). Wow, that's a mouthful.
sHEs a fucking troll. get used to it.

to an early /. story -- 2.2.18 fixes the CPUID "bug" that causes problems for Linux on the Pentium IV.
