    The wood isn't illegal. India is protesting because they insist that the wood be processesed, in India, by Indian workers, before Gibson gets it. The state department is enforcing India's claim.

  7. Re:Of course its financially feasible. on Spamming Becoming Financially Infeasible · · Score: 1

    I know this thread is long dead but I just saw your reply. You actually missed my point completely. I was pointing out the futility of manually weeding out spam when the volume increases in response to the parent who claimed not to need filters because he had eyes and fingers. I AM my own mail provider, and the 800 per day figure is BEFORE despamming. After using RBL's, baysian filters, etc etc etc I'm down to about 6 or 8 spam messages per day leaking though, which is acceptable (to me and my users.)

    I've had the same email address for about 15 years now and I get around 800 spam emails a day.

    Your method would be a full time job.

  9. Re:People with unreliable ISP-provided email on Spamming Becoming Financially Infeasible · · Score: 2

    At least you can make some attempt to redeem yourself with spamhaus. Cisco's shitty IronPort lists me as having a "poor" reputation because 6 or 8 sites in my A block have a "poor" (and totally unexplained) reputation. Me? Perfect. Not blacklisted on any of the 130 or so lists. But I can't send email to godaddy because they use the ironport abomination. (Godaddy, yeah I know, right? It's the principal of the thing.)

    Cisco is Cisco. "Don't blame us, we didn't block anything, we just told THEM not to trust you, go figure."

    Godaddy is godaddy. "If you think this block is in error, go fuck yourself".

    Anybody else run into this? I didn't think I could hate Cisco any more than I already did but I was wrong.

    Because Sweden is about the size of California, and has a population of 9 million (about 1/300th of the population of the US.)

    It's much easier to do things when you only have .3% of the customers.

    Sure would be nice though.

    Back when fantasy was more widely considered pollution, so was the phrase "Sci-Fi", which was derisively pronounced "skiffy".

    A lot of people thought "skiffy" would be the ruin of the genre.

    Sorry, no mod points to fix you up.

    The trekkers used to be kind of militant about the term, but I guess they gave up. "Trekkie" sounds retarded, but, whatever. Goes with the territory.

    Ditto for "skiffy", which I think was the name of Tom Swift's pecker. The correct term for nontards is "esseff".

    Mod on, tards, I had excellent karma before you grew pubes.

    I don't KNOW why it's growing. I don't have many old apps, and none (that I can think of) that are updated regularly. I have mostly development tools installed (VS2008, Adobe CS, Multisim).

    sxs predates vista but vista is a LOT more agressive with it. That's the problem. 10GB is almost half of my boot partition.

  20. Re:How long before SP1? on Windows 7 Launch Date Leaked — 23 Oct. 2009 · · Score: 1

    I like Vista except for one BIG problem... the friggin winsxs folder that grows like a cancer, eventually eating up all available disk space. (Mine is currently pushing 10GB.) The sxs feature SEEMS like a good idea, but I don't really run much legacy software, and I would be willing to take my risks turning sxs off if I could. But you can't. You can't do ANYTHING that significantly reduces its size. You're not even supposed to move it to a compressed folder. Bleh.

    Low cost? 10p for GB is more than you pay for a hard disk.

    10p/GB was the manufacturing cost. Multiply that by 15 to 100 to figure out what it will SELL for.

    Better check again. EDS isn't going anywhere. In fact, it's getting an even bigger slice of the NMCI pie to fuck up. I always thought we'd just be better off letting AOL run the NMCI network, and stick advertisements all over everything. I'm pretty happy with my Dell workstations, though... I guess this will mean we'll be using HP's at the next tech refresh.
