Uhhh no.... but I loose alot of respect for (I assume) sysadmins like you, who act like this. As well as for ISPs that install all of this spam blocking junk.
What designates an emergency? Or would it be ANY government traffic? For instance, if a government official browses to my website, do I have to give him higher priority then someone else?!?! Or is it only during emergencies?!
Uhh.. how about a cable modem ? And running a mail / web server off a commercial grade cable modem? There ARE reasons.. Or perhaps I like to be in control of my outgoing mail and don't want it going through my ISP? (again no I'm nto doing anything illegal or spamming)..
Actually the additional hop does annoy me. I should be able to run my own mail server. It's no bodies business but mine who gets spam. I don't send it out, so that's not what I"m doing. But as far as a central organization who doesn't have any business blocking it that's out of line. In my opinion if AOL or whoever wants to run ORBZ blocking that's their problem and their loss. They owen their machines and can block whoever they want, however I think it's bad business practice.
I for one am happy that ORBZ is gone. I run a mail server on a dial-up modem and have more then once gotten a reply back that ORBZ IS BLOCKING SPAM FROM AN OPEN RELAY IP.. guess what? I'm not running an open relay but I guess someone else was. Well I'm sick of it. I'm glad Ian is gone with his Orbz stuff. As far as blocking.. that's up to the end user.. not some little guy who wants to start a list.
Indeed this is something interesting. All caps signifies a business, and in this case it is not a business but a person, unless of course the court system has created a business out of him and is Doing Busines As him through Social Security and that type of thing.
That's really funny. I've actually dried out electronic stuff this way before and it usually does work, as long as someone doesn't come along and try to use the oven hehehe =]. Bet the company wasn't too happy.
Some states already require you to give your SSN when you get your drivers license. I've been fortunate to live in PA where we didn't need to. But I need to renew my license next month, and if they change something, I'm going to have a bit of a hissy-fit. SSN for #1 is not a form of identification, and it should not be used for such, even though everyone asks for it. If you tell them you either don't have one or don't want to give it, you normally won't have a problem because they can't require you to give one!
A friend of mine got some VERY nice pictures of the leonids. I'll see if I can get them posted on a webserver some place. I love meteor showers, and in the winter the air is so still it's easy to see.
You know.. I just thought of something. There is the WayBack Machine which lets you get past copies of ANY website. Do you think one could get a copy of the DOI and get cached copies of the data, or some such stuff?
I had a similar problem. We had transfered our company website to another server, and I needed to transfer DNS record information over in NSI.
Unfortunately the MAIN e-mail for their records was going to a non existent e-mail matth@ptd.xxx. Yet, on the contact it listed matth@shell.xxxxx.com. I still dont' totally understand it, they said something about how that e-mail address is hard coded when you setup the account and you can't change it... so I'd either have to send an e-mail from the @shell.xxxx.com address or the @ptd.xxx address.
Our mail system runs on a dynamic DNS system. My e-mail would come from: matth@shell.xxxxxxx.com
but for some reason NSI would read it as our dynamic DNS name which would be: matth@andromeda-xxx.dyndns.org. Needless to say, they said I needed to fax a document over with identification like a phone bill or drivers license ID. I said, umm look here, there aren't any phone bills that come to the business because it's a home business, and my drivers licenes doesn't have the business address, because I don't live here! They were like, ok then just fax it over, and exlpain that. I did.. it came back.. you must include ID. After several days I called them again, and said, that I'd like to know why their e-mail system is reading my dynamic domain instead of the domain I'm sending e-mail from, they said it wasn't their problem. How can you argue with someone who's reading from a script and doesn't understand what you're talking about!??! even when I got someone who understood, somehow they still seemed to find an intellegent way to not answer the question. In the long run I ended up forging an e-mail from the main e-mail address for the account which no longer existed (the main problem in the beginning) matth@ptd.xxx. So I forged the e-mail, and forged a return form, and got the domain trasnfered. *sigh* Why does NSI make me do things illegally in order to transfer my DOMAIN? I even went over this on the phone with the lady.. I said.. look why do I need to fax you all this junk? I could just forge an e-mail from my old address, and have it work. she's like well I'm sorry that's how things are.
So, would running Linux avoid this problem?
Since it's vulnerablities in windows that seem to allow the FBI to get in, would linux be ok?
In addition, is this legal? To break in using vulnerablities? Wouldn't that make the FBI in essence doing illegal things?
This only works then because windows has security holes eh?
It's hard to find good math sites for help. And with the dissmissal of any good sites, one must often times have problems. For those of us which are busy, websites are sometimes the best way to get help with math. Of course, I'm still on the idea that math is really un-important in the computer industry =) But that's another story heheh.
Strangest thing is.. the windows boxen BEHIND the linux box seem to have a bunch of *.eml on them! What in the world?!?! I can understand getting into the linux box.. but getting into the windows boxen behind?!?
Actually yeah that's the only thing I can find... the linux box has open shares on it.. world readable (nothing important).. does this virus also attack via shares?
Hrmm.. i was rather disturbed today. I was looking around my linux box and found HUNDREDS of *.eml files. Now.. does anyone want to venture a guess as to how they got in there? Some of them I've seenbefore.. . (like the firs tpart of the file name).. others i haven't... my directory structure looks right... any idea how it got in?

Uhhh no.... but I loose alot of respect for (I assume) sysadmins like you, who act like this. As well as for ISPs that install all of this spam blocking junk.
In which case the internet problably would stop working like it does now (yes it's nto suppost to.. but would it really function correctly?)

You think the warranty will cover that? =] :)
Perhaps a microwave would have been the better way to go. Dry it from the inside out

Ok, Some of the better pictures he got are now up on my website. You can see them at: http://www.matthoppes.org/meteors.

This was reported on syncwater (http://www.syncwater.org) yesterday. Slashdot needs to get up to speed.
no no no.. Cracking is bad. Hacking is perfectly legal.
