These people can't even work out an org chart for their tangle. Strictly speaking, the ASRG is an IRTF group, not an IETF one.
rfc2014 The IRTF focuses on longer term
research issues related to the Internet while the parallel
organization, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), focuses on
the shorter term issues of engineering and standards making.
It'll be interesting to see what short-term solutions to spam they can come up with.
Are these guys supposed to be actually implementing anything or just doing research? The entanglement of the IRFT and (one of their sponsors) the IEFT in the stories make it unclear, but the group's charter make it clear that they have to define a lot of terms first.
I hate to get a "new" dynamic IP address. Frequently someone's been using the address before me for P2P, and those damned things seem to take forever to timeout and realise that there's nobody home any more.
It's not a security problem, and it's not much bandwidth, but when I notice modem traffic I like to know what it is. Some people seem to set for a retry every minute for days. (Some seem to go away if you put a web server on the port with a 404.) It doesn't seem a very net-friendly type of software. Unfortunetely, I doubt we'll see much evolution towards more responsible (but slower) software.
God, those first thing in the morning courses in CDC 6600 assembler by the professor-emeritus department head. *wonk* coffee! *wonk* coffee! (I could tell you the exact schedule of that course, but I'd have to disassemble the case of my TV terminal, 'cause the handbook is holding up the Xitex S100 video curcuit board. No joke, I've got pictures.)
Best thing about that course was understanding how you can have a 60 bit word, 6 bit characters, plus and minus zero, and still remain in business. (Oops, they're not.)
pbs.org has switched off their Blast Mapper page. I wanted to see how many kilotonnes it would take. (It laid various effects circles on top of a map given an address.) This just isn't as fun!

If Scelson had a real lawyer, he'd be telling him to STFU or just using duct-tape.

Too high by at least a couple orders of magnitude. Saying that a spammer is a liar is almost redundant, certainly it's obvious.

There's a lot of Norton SystemWorks guys. (Dr. Fatburn et al.)
Symantec makes noises about going after these guys, but they seem to be taking their own sweet time.

The article says that he says he gets 3%, and he's a notorious liar. I think Al Ral only claimed about 0.004%
Education is good! We can block and filter all we want, but until the people who give money to spammers stop doing that, spammers will keep trying to reach them.

Are you going to snailmail him on your dime? Otherwise, you're stealing from magazines, companies with catalogs, etc. Oh sure, it's just pennies here and there, but that's the same logic the spammer uses.
But okay, the reports of Al Ral getting buried in mail did make me smile.:^)

A new worm has begun infecting XP systems that didn't install the latest patch. "It's their own fault, they should have kept up to date" said BG.
Nah, they'll have DNS. Can you imagine the cybersquating wars over pizza.*?

Yes, when. (Besides, it's usually a web link.)

I'd say that the oster was just "taking the iss". (ull the other one, it has bells on.)
And why does it keep finding an address error at CMOT Dibbler's place?
Does HEX use BeeOS?
Once it gets on the Federal Register, not much.

Since PBS took down their Blast Mapper page, click here or here and use a marker on the screen to draw in zones of destruction to taste. :^)
Umm, how did you know it was stri3286@bellsouth.net? Most stuff like that forges the From field, and you have to trace back the Received lines.
