Why? The receiving end is the one with the power to use or not use your list, or to whitelist certain entities in that list. On my own mail servers, I reject stuff that is on zen. The sender will get that error, and can talk to their own mail admins, who should see *why* they are on the list and work to get themselves removed. If that is impossible, and this is, indeed, a legitimate company trying to contact one of our employees (this has never happened, if they are legit, getting off the list is trivial), then the receiving end is the one who has the power to make the decision whether those messages should come in or not.
I don't see the problem with keeping a list. If it is a bad list with too many false positives, then nobody would use it. Sheesh.
Certainly if someone wanted to receive e360's messages, or if they were EXPECTING a message from e360 and didn't get it, they can talk to their own mail admins and have e360 whitelisted. Why is it so hard to effectively explain to the courts that Spamhaus has nothing to do with whether e360's messages get through or not, other than responding to a query from the receiving end asking if Spamhaus believes they are a spammer?
In reverse, is the do-not-call list something that will be targeted next?
As another poster noted below, you don't even really need a WM. Just run firefox in your x session and nothing else. On exit, you could have a default profile copied over for the next person.
And not really fundamentally different than how MS subverted web standards to undermine Netscape.
Netscape itself is far more guilty of this than Microsoft. Many of their tags stuck, but when they came up with them, they certainly weren't following the W3 standards.
If they were so worried about innovation, they'd let their employees use it (I'm talking from an IT perspective here). At my last job, we had good solutions in place to do things cheaper, faster, and better (yup, all three). But management insisted on leaving that system to go with a vendor's solution that used canned products to 'solve' the problem for a lot more cost and effort. And it never worked well.
Fast forward to today. I'm interviewing for jobs. Every single company I interview with doesn't care what my aptitude is, or what I can do to help the business use technology to give them a great ROI on technology while solving their problems. They only care "Do you know product X?"
So, my own experience shows me that CEO's certainly don't give a crap about innovation. Or, if they do, their IT managers certainly aren't following their vision (actually, I do think that is probably the case, as I saw some evidence of that at the last company after each quarterly meeting where I'd agree with what the CEO wanted to do, but my own management would always go down the buy the canned solution that doesn't work so well path).
Last I checked, I wasn't paying money for any of those things. If M$ wants us to test something, then release it for free, or maybe even pay us for bug reports that they use to make the product better.
Such archie servers could be accessed in multiple ways: using a local client (such as archie or xarchie); telneting to a server directly; sending queries by electronic mail; and later via World Wide Web interfaces.
Go see them at the bar, buy them a drink if you like what they are playing. Buy a CD at a release party. Give copies to your friends, who if they like them will also then go to their shows and buy their promotional CDs.
Isn't answering tickets the antithesis to productivity? Productivity would be designing your systems such that you don't get tickets. Routing everything to/dev/null doesn't count:)
Not that it is the best solution (see my above post on how this shouldn't be software-based at all, but a 'black box' appliance between his router and ISP), but vmware would work just fine.
Run windoze as the host OS, and NAT the linux guest behind the windoze interface. Done.
installing software is the wrong way to go about this anyway. The gvt. should have an appliance that they stick between his router and the ISP connection. Have that box run whatever it is they want for monitoring and reporting. It'd be easy to make sure it isn't tampered with, and is always running that way too.
Hmm...I wonder how lucrative starting such a business to provide these things to authorities would be, seems like a fun project.
So he's a game designer dabbling in space exploration. It's not like he ran a bicycle shop or something. Now *there's* a logical starting point for a career in aeronautics!
Actually, it is. Bikes and airframes are VERY similar. You are trying to get a very strong structure with as little weight as possible. With a bike, as with an airplane, you can't just slap a factor of safety of 9 on the thing. You have to really design it, and pay attention to materials science. (Hint: Bikes, like planes, take advantage of lightweight aluminum alloys, carbon fiber, high torsional rigidity, etc).
Then there is knowing how to use the right materials in the right places for minimum cost/weight, or for rigidity / flex.
Today's bikes are what they are mostly from Aerospace research.
So as long as lusers are listening to music, all of the various botnet zombies and spyware-riddled PCs won't be spewing as much crap degrading everyone else's performance, right? If Only.
...but with an e-mail, all parties involved have a record of when it was sent, who received it, and what was said.
which is why my manager at my last job would always call me, or stop by my cube or grab me as I walked by in the hall instead of email whenever she wanted to ensure that whatever idiotic thing she wanted done (the joys of being a network security guy) could not be traced back to her. But, I'd send her a note about it each time anyway. I like having my get out of jail free card. "just to verify, you wanted me to do $foo, and understand the implications, right?"
How about starting off by realizing that Evolution and Creation (or "Intelligent Design") are scientific theories and not scientific fact. The biggest problem I see in science today is failing to properly delineate between fact and theory.
Uh, what?
Care to explain, exactly, how ID is a scientific theory? Nobody disputes that Evolution is a theory based on observable facts.
ID is a religious study or philosophy subject, but certainly not science.

Good point. I had forgotten about that. But still...

They did. In my most recent bill I have a pretty little "Arbitration Notice" brochure.
I don't have mod points, so I'll just comment.

Yeah, I was going to post with a "Don't bother" if it's going to be picassa-ish. What a piece of crap that is on linux.

CDA is good? I'm confused.
Go educate yourself. Make no mistake. When you do business with Microsoft, you are doing business with a criminal organization:

It's called a mail loop, and there are ways to avoid that from happening.

And then there was Archie, jughead, and veronica.
I used to use archie quite a lot via email.

Did the cops have a warrant? I don't think they are legally able to burst through your door without one. Of course, this is /. and IANAL.
