    the homosexuals are having the same sort of argument on gaydot.org... seems they're unhappy with the now negative connotation attached to the "ghay" word and they'd like to see the meaning returned to its original intensions.

    does anyone really have time to worry about what the media or general public thinks the term "hacker" means?

    My war on spam begins with all Spammers, but it does not end there. It will not end until every spamming group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.

    These spamists spam not merely to waste bandwidth, but to disrupt and end a way of life. With every piece of unsolicited mail, they hope that genuine e-mailers grow fearful, retreating from cyber space and forsaking news groups. They stand against me, because I stand in their way.

    I am not deceived by their pretenses to piety. I have seen their kind before. They are the heirs of all the spamist ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing bandwidth to serve their advertising visions -- by abandoning every value except the will to power -- they follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded trash cans.

    My response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated replies.
    I should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic e-mails to ISP's, visible to News groups, and covert operations, secret even in success. I will starve spamists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from ISP to ISP, until there is no refuge or no rest. And I will pursue ISP's that provide aid or safe haven to spammers. Every ISP, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with me, or you are with the spamists.

    From this day forward, any ISP that continues to harbor or support spamists will be regarded by me as a hostile regime.

    Remove this email address from everywhere you have it in any form that it may be in. I do not want to receive email from you, people who work with/for/around you, people you know even vaguely or even have heard of, people you communicate in any form to, people who look like you.

    From now on, I want to never know you, or any product/service/person/etc that you know of.

    Given that you're a spammer who thinks they aren't a spammer, you may have found the above too vague. Ergo: please piss off.

  9. Cover it up and go to lunch.... on Some Companies Don't Care about Web Defacement · · Score: 1

    It is not surprising that server admin's and upper management don't care about reporting defacement/Dos or other net attacks. It's not really they're fault, I mean who would they report it to in the first place? As far as I know when a defacement or even important data is corrupted the main role of a server administrator is to get the box up and running, patch the hole and if possible not tell anyone for fear of losing their job!
    It's not that they wouldn't report it. it's more a case of who to?
    As the Internet is spread over every country in the world all of which have their own policies in regard to the reporting, investigation and punishment of net offenders there is no governing body that can manage this sort of role. This only gives you the option to report the web site defacement to the offenders ISP (if you have that information) and hope that they do something about it. And if the ISP can't help you, as often they can't due to the fact that most of the holes exploited in IIS are due to worms passed on by people who don't know they even have them what can you do?
    I don't think setting up one big governing body for the Internet is going to work so what option does that leave you with?
    Patch your damn IIS servers or be infected every time a new worm exploits a new hole!

  11. Don't think... on Australia's Generic Net Names To Be Put Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    The rules and regulations regarding registering *.au domains has been a big fucking fuck up! Basically what their saying is unless you're a big multinational company you won't be able to afford a .au domain. Just like every other useless thing Australia has done all the profits will end up overseas because of the strict policies of the auDA.
    In Australia you need to be a registered company with an ABN to purchase a .com.au, this forces most Australian businesses to register o/s to get .com names.
    No one these days registers a business name before knowing if they will be able to get a url that somewhat represents their name and with the stupid policies that come out of this lucky country it's no wonder most people go else where.
