I figured as much. Anything over 6.5.8
can't be trusted. Even the NAI version of 6.5.8
had/has a security hole. You can trust the CKT
6.5.8 version IMHO.
It all fits from a conspiracy POV though.
NAI takes over PGP, adds stuff[1], gubmint
requires versions with stuff[1], PRZ resigns.
Everyone[2] becomes suspicious and sales fall.
Now NAI mothballs it effectively keeping
the tool out of the hands of the computer novices.
From the gubmints POV, you could not ask for more.
Why go through the hassle with m$?
I've been there. Had a nasty scratch.
Now, any CD I buy is immediately
copied, and the original goes in a safe place.
If my copy gets badly scratched/stolen, I make another
from the original, always storing the original in a safe place.
Besides giving him a clue via
the/. effect and filling his mailbox,
perhaps Verio could allow him his freedom
to run a open relay but still control
the problem from their perspective.
Charge him for excessive bandwidth consumption.
Bet he closes it up REAL fast.
Seconded. Build it youself, and you will
learn something (not neccessarily covered
by tuition).
And don't worry about dynamic IP either,
you can build it easily on a 486 with Linux.
Exactly. The root cause of this problem
is the non-separation of bandwidth and
services. If the telcos were busted
into two parts, these problems would not
happen. Unfortunately, due to the historical
nature of telephony, they will fight that
tooth and nail. How much do you pay for
a 'service' such as three-way-calling?
It probably costs the telco a nickel per
month to provide that 'service'! Gravy profit.
It the telcos were split into service providers
and bandwidth providers, the real costs
would become apparent. 802.11b is really
the only hope to drive a wedge into the
monopolies control.
Well for $1.00 more per month,
and an extra 4MB of mailbox space, it's not
too much of a rip off. Though, you think
the ISP would do it for free anyway since
it would save them bandwidth costs as well.
But having to change your e-mail addy to
put this in place is curious.
But watch out down the road if they want
to change the pricing to be on a per spam basis.
Then things can really get out of control.
For instance, do you get to see the spam?
If not, how do you know it really existed
in the first place? If you get to see it,
then how? Do they save it to a file somewhere?
Or do they e-mail it to you anyway?
(Defeating the purpose)
If they say that they save it to a file,
and that you can review it (to prove it was
blocked), then you have the next problem:
The ISP creating the spam themselves, sending
it to you to be 'blocked' and then charging
you for it!
Perhaps you could restructure yourself
so that you can provide them with free
software (as in beer and libre) and charge for
your service somehow. Then they may not
be able to rape you as bad. Just a thought,
but of course, a lawyer is needed. Guess
what that might end up costing you?

Woof. Woof, woof!

No need for cygwin.
Find unixutil here.
The whois data can't be trusted to be accurate.
Even Congress is investigating the problem.
Seems to me this is easily abused, especially considering m$ influence, and the source for IE not being open.
Therefore Mozilla really needs to have this feature added to Googlebar to level the field.
Be careful here.
Spud Launchers can kill.
Sounds like Global Warfare.

Hmmm, I see your point.
#define CORRECT TRUE
#define INCORRECT FALSE
#define VERY_CORRECT CORRECT
That is 'fair use'.

And which version do they specify that you use?
IIRC, 5 years for hardware, 2 years for software.
I must agree. From now on, it's end-of-thread whenever the U.S. Government is mentioned. :~)
Think Linux Bios. This is slippery slope stuff here. If m$ can control the bios, all hell can break loose.
I can't imagine what you were referring to, but imagine a Sysplex cluster of these.
I don't believe so. Netfilter/iptables is more powerful than what was available prior to 2.4.x kernel.
Will anyone care enough to pay you?
P.S. I Can. No one cares.

I can't find the lavalamp page at sgi anymore, probably due to budget restraints.
Another interesting random number generator is Hotbits.

Quite disingenuous.
