Work blocks access to dyndns's services, so I can't look it up at the moment. But if you go to the dyndns.com website, you want to look for 'mailhop outbound' and 'mailhop relay'. The first is so you can send, the other is for receiving with the bonus of configurable DNSBLs and Spamassassin rules. Outbound is $15/year per 150 relays per day (envelope addresses sent to). Inbound relaying is $42/year. If you need more relays per day (if like me, you host mail lists), it is easy to add.
So far, so good. I've had no issues with it. The service also uses TLS along with authentication, so others shouldn't be able to hijack your service. The only downside is that you can't do RBL blocking on your own server (but they do it for you, so no big deal), and you can't trace errors back to the sending/receiving MTA (but I'd assume dyndns admins would be helpful with that...definitely more helpful than calling comcast about problems sending from your 'tos violating' mail server!).
Doubtful. This past week they blocked both inbound and outbound SMTP (I run my own mail server) because "Your system is infected with a virus".
Rather than take the time out of my day to wait on hold for a few hours to deal with their "security" team, I've instead coughed up the small fee to use dyndns's mailhop relaying on nonstandard ports. Yay! Reliable mail again!
I'm moving in December and am looking forward to the opportunity to ditch comcast, who have been nothing but a source of incredible annoyance and interrupted service since they bought out my local ISP, whom I had a BUSINESS CLASS line with, that comcast totally fscked up without notifying me.
Voting today really doesn't seem to make a difference. The only quickly-approaching option is going to be revolution at the rate things are going. The democrats will not save us, they will gladly continue with the powers that the bush administration gave itself while wiping its ass with the constitution.
But we have become complacent, and don't have the stomach to do what is necessary to secure our freedom.
But things changed, tech moved on once again and deeply cut for the first time into the publishers, all of sudden you didn't need a huge press anymore, (either to print books OR press vinyl/CD's etc) but artists could reproduce music easily on their own. In a way going back to the original situation where if you wanted a copy of something, you made it.
Fixed that for you. There is no longer a reason for the music industry to exist at all. The artists themselves now have the means to distribute their work. If they are smart, they give it away, or sell for little more than the cost of the media, and make their money on live shows, using their newfound distribution system as a means of relatively free advertising.
Knock it off with the high speed chases in the first place. Is it really worth endangering everybody else nearby? You're simply pushing the person you are chasing to be even more wreckless. Let them go.
The nice thing about printing the vote is that you get the electronic tally right away, so the world can know a "tentative" result by that evening, while a full count could take all night, or or maybe even a few days to certify.
A voter can, however, understand the system in place with paper ballots. What happens when you push the button on the electronic screen? Can you tell me?
Same with bike parts. Used to take apart bottom brackets, relube, and replace the bearings and cups. Now you just buy a whole part. Higher-end (more expensive) parts tend to remain serviceable, however (like my king hubs...Mmmmm sound of angry bees!).
It's quite possible to configure Windoze to prevent these infestations. It's a pain in the ass, to be sure, but it can be done
That's exactly what the OP is getting at. It's a pain in the ass because windoze is not designed well, and after years of that, getting users and profit-driven software companies to accept a change is a daunting task.
Hell, I know better, but to make a windoze system useable, you have to do stupid things.
I think the OP meant that we should never have invaded in the first place. Now we are spending money, time, and lives on something that would have been much better spent on fixing problems within our own country.
Be that as it may, Windows Mobile is in widespread use and Android isn't yet. I have little doubt that it will be adopted with great speed, but currently Mr Ballmer does have a point.
How can a product that doesn't exist yet possibly be in widespread use? There's no real point to that statement. Maybe after the product is out and we wait a few years to see what it does. Then again, all of the US companies want crippled products bundled on their phones anyway.
Require working model / prototype within a reasonable amount of time, or you lose your patent
IOW, you can only patent physical systems, and you must have the intent to actually develop the technology (not squat on it until somebody else spends the time and money to bring something to market, and then sue them!).
Writing software and coming up with processes to do things does not require capital to prototype. So why do those things need patents?
why use a friggin' player in the first place? What's wrong with all the vid formats that everyone can view already no matter what platform they are on?
Yeah. but there is a no-fee way, if you can find what you want online. Just get a car stereo that can read mass storage devices, and download the podcast each day.
This admittedly isn't probably the best for music (I haven't tried), but I use it for NPR news every day (Bryant Park Project, Midday News, Most E-mailed stories, car talk), along with schneier's monthly cryptogram.
I also use dj steveboy's podrunner site for my daily workouts. Some of it isn't that great, but I like most of the groovelectric stuff. I don't like listening to that type of stuff just to listen to, but it's ideal for workouts. Without it, I'd quickly burn out on my own limited collection of dance/club music.
There's always ripping shoutcast streams to timeshift as well.
If only we had 802.11 everywhere, but that just isn't the case, so the next best thing is to use podcasts or rip streams to play later.
yeah, why not a plugin architecture with the equivalent of a shebang line? I'd love to use perl for my client side browser stuff (i'm actually serious about that, realizing full well that it wouldn't be widely used, but I can dream:)
Why is 'a small number of linux users' a reason for going with this? What is wrong with using a format that is available everywhere (including portable players!) as a matter of course?

This is one reason the 2nd amendment is so important.
Voting today really doesn't seem to make a difference. The only quickly-approaching option is going to be revolution at the rate things are going.

Dramatic, yeah, but take a look around.

Cops,
Knock it off with the high speed chases in the first place. Is it really worth endangering everybody else nearby? You're simply pushing the person you are chasing to be even more wreckless. Let them go.
Ahh memories. The crossposting wars between the pavers and the destroyers was always amusing. Oh usenet how I miss thee!
This is what VPNs are for.
Oh Noes! Can't have that!
what about the neighbor and weigh part? :-)

how on earth I interpreted patents from that I don't know. Please mod down appropriately :)
How about:
IOW, you can only patent physical systems, and you must have the intent to actually develop the technology (not squat on it until somebody else spends the time and money to bring something to market, and then sue them!).
Writing software and coming up with processes to do things does not require capital to prototype. So why do those things need patents?

You forgot "and when the cat chews through an attached USB device cord". I was wondering why every time I inserted my USB drive the system would lock.
hope these people never discover encyclopedia dramatica!
I'm sure there are reasonable ways to sandbox the interpreter.
Yeah. but there is a no-fee way, if you can find what you want online. Just get a car stereo that can read mass storage devices, and download the podcast each day.

same with rockbox on my sansa e280. I'm going to wait awhile, I think.
