Indiginous, mosquitoes feed around dawn and dusk and only to develope their eggs, the asian tiger mosquitoes are ravenous 24/7 and very difficult to repell.
I do stupid stuff like that all of the time, I normaly use linux. People who watch me do this who normaly use Win95/98/ME are shocked, and I've found that it usualy doesn't work on those systems, but they are desktop OSes and not realy designed for that kind of abuse. Now people should expect the WinNT/W2K/WinXP family to handle this abuse are they are business/workstation/server class OSes.
Honestly I think the average desktop user would be annoyed if the OS complained that it had too little available memory to run the application, but if the app launched and ran slowly or death-spiraled, people would blaim the app not the OSes memory management.
I'm not sure if I agree with you or not but it seems to me that if you hold a patent on a particular technology, then you set the standards for it; inviting a public organ like the w3c to embrase your proposed standard while keeping the fact that you've patented the technology prior to standardization is deceitfull.
I can understand a company patenting a technology for defensive purposes, unfortunatly when the bottomline goes red, the lawyers decend like vultures and make a mess like we have now. Perhaps want we realy need is a way to register prior arts in some official, or quaasi-offficial manner, so that an idea that is useful and necessary to a company, can be made unpatentable by others and used against the originating company.
Monsanto has developed a breed of canola that is virtualy indestructable, round-up doesn't kill it, and round-up kill just about every plant there is. Appearently the breed of canola also isn't a hybrid, so the seeds grown are fertile and reproduce new plants. So this farmer's own breeding program has been contaminated, that's destroyed, by being invaded by an plant that has been designed to be indestructable, and Monsanto wants to be paid alowing their monster to destroy the village because they own the patent on the monster.
personaly i think if you've patented something that reproduces autonomusly, you should be suprised that it reproduces, if that reproduction is causing damage, your liable. Don't forget that this farmer's seedstock is potentialy valuable, seed companies will pay big bucks to get orignial strains to work with.
because a lot of ISP's block the smtp port outbound. I want to send a Email to you and I'm on the web at example.com, I want my Email to be from budgenator@example.com, I can connect directly to the smtp sever on my website with my email client and send the email with nice clean headers. AOL and a lot of others don't alow this direct connection, if your on their network, you can only conntect to one of their smtp servers so the Email will show up as originating from AOL,com not example.com
Who is going to check every header in every email? obviously nobody is going to even try, but a yahoo, aol, msn, Earthlink, or hotmail are going to have hundreds of smtp machines load balanced off one IP address, set up ten out of a hundred to check headers throughly and it'll stop a lot of spam.
I know that your thinking that this would be like the dutch-boy with his finger in the dike, here why I think it would be effective
1. a spam campain that generate a.01% response rat is concidered wildly sucsessfull by SPAMMERS.
2. if you block the one email out of ten thousand that generates revenue, then the spammer has to send an additional 10K Emails to make up the shortfall.
the cost to the ISP rise linearly, the cost to the SPAMMER rise exponetily; and the ISP have deeper pockets to begin with. Add in the blacklists and the big time spammers are done.
what the spammers don't want you to know is the IP address that they are working from.
1st try. spammer get a T1 line from a telecom with one IP address, and he send a bulk mailing to you, you block that address he done; no more spam from him.
2nd try spammer finds an open relay and sends a bulk mailing, it gets through, you get mad then you block that relay.
3rd try spammer uses next open relay, wash, rinse repeat...
the blacklists work by finding the open relays for you to block faster than the spammer can.
The fact of the matter is, whoever created fizzer NEVER registered the page.. so I took the liberty in registereing it. sayeth Chris Reddog[Magicstar] on the irc channel.
probably why they didn't register it is how easy it would have been to track the cc.
Geocities is free, but add sponsored, they'll insert a piece of javascript to show an ad banner on every file in the directory, this would have destroyed the virus, javascript inserted into a binary executeable file don't work. To get the ad-free geocities you have to pay $4.95/month and that means a credit card. Appearently the virus writer knew that geocities was free, but didn't realise that he'd have to use a cc to get the ad free version, until after the virus was released, or perhaps escaped.
I know a guy who broke down a tenants door and pulled her naked out of the bathtub. After she regained consciousness she kissed him. He smelled the bad gas leak, got no response from pounding on the door before he broke it down.
In this case, shutting down these machines is the greater good vs. leaving them running, wasting bandwidth, sending email, or whatever this thing does. the worm reportedly has a bug alowing irc operators to crash the infected machines by
NEW - We discovered you can make them crash! Go in to a channel they are in, and type "001PING blahblah", where blahblah is any long string, and almost all of them will crash (a couple might send PING replies, oddly). This is some sort of bug in the program, which ultimately is a result of the programmer forgetting a backslash. You can also put the string in the topic of the channels the worm bots join, and they will crash.
now as this is a line that would be harmless to uninfected computers, it solves some of the ethical problems. Unfortunately the most people with infected computers wouldn't be able to figure out why their 'puter pukes every time they connect to the internet.
if the file wasn't linked to on a web page (I'm not sure if it was or was, this is rhetorical) they could claim that the repair file was hidden do to the nature of the http server not listing the directory, and therefore the file was stolen. Claiming that the file was meerly stored there pend public release after additional testing, they would mitigate a lot of potential liability, but IANAL
that's not what the real experts are saying, If a file called UNINSTALL.PKY exists in %WINDIR%, the worm does not infected the machine. The content of this file does not matter.
how about a program on the site that executed an IE browser pointed to the McAfee or norton which are trusted third parties, have removal tools available and have authorative descriptions on what the virus does and instructions for its manual removal.
If a file called UNINSTALL.PKY exists in %WINDIR%, the worm does not infected the machine. The content of this file does not matter.
also the worm listens on
IRC Bot The worm pings many different IRC servers. When it receives a reply, it connects to a channel on that server using many different internal usernames, and waits for further instructions from an attacker. The list of IRC servers includes:
irc2p2pchat.net irc.idigital-web.com irc.cyber chat.org irc.othernet.org irc.beyondirc.net irc .chatx.net irc.cyberarmy.com irc.gameslink.net AOL Bot The worm connects to an AIM site to register a new, randomly named, user (in a similar fashion to the AIM-Canbot trojan). It then connects to an AIM chat server on port 5190, joins a chat session, and listens for further instructions. Self-updating The worm connects to a geocities user page to download updates. However, at the time of this writing that user site did not exist. the cleaner is there
Keylogger The worm captures typed keystrokes and stores them in a encrypted file named iservc.klg within the Windows directory.
KaZaa worm The worm retrieves the default download directory for KaZaa from the registry and copies itself to that location using random filenames.
HTTP server The worm runs an HTTP server on port 81. The webserver acts as a command-console, displaying information about the infected system (System time, connection information, OS version, IRC and AIM information). It also allows an attacker to kick-off certain functions, such as a Denial of Service attack, mail propagation, AOL/IRC bot commands, and anti-virus software termination).
Remote access server The worm creates a remote access server by listening on ports 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.
I remeber durring the codered plague, I found a server log entry for an attacker calling itself codeBlue which supposededly attacks thru the same vulerability as codeRed, but removed codeRed and reapaired the vuleralbility. It was an IRIX server so I have no idea weather that's what it actualy did or not
NASA uses some seriuos image manipution techniques, that would fit into some GIMP plugins off the top of my head. Maybe some navigation stuff for aircraft and oceanliners. Having an extra set of eyeballs on the code might even same a space probe from unit of measure convertion crashes. Space shuttle code might even be the basis for a killer space game.
I was thinking that they could give the cells a shot of endorphins when the light reached a certain intensity for positive reinforcement. teach the cells to actual seek the light.

you're not understanding me 1. you're a web dev, I'm a web dev 2. you're comfortably busy, I'm starving 3. I conatct you, you email me 4. I hire evilSpamer to send 25 million Emails, with your headers 5. you get blacklisted, 25% of your customers can't get emails from you 6. now I pick up your customers and you starve 7. maybe spamhaus get around to taking you off the blacklist before you lose your business 8. profit! does that clarify the point? spam hurts you because your Emails can get lost in the noise, blacklists can hurt you because you can't email your customers at all.
Ever wonder why IM has taken off like it has, you don't get fucking spammed. well you don't get spammed if your running on linux, but this new windows XP machine get's plenty of windows messenger pop-up messages, mostly from blockmessenger.com!
I was IMing with my dad the other day, and he asked me if yahoo messenger would hold a message if your offline, and I told him yes, so he asked me,what the difference between IM and Email was then. Surprisingly as I thought about it, not much. other than sending images and attachments they are about equivilant, except that IM has a lower latency.
Who pays for the bandwidth I've noticed that when I've opened HTML SPAM that the server are pretty well/.ed, the images load slow as hell, usualy I can open and delete them befor the first image is loaded, so appearently the bussinesses that hire the spammers arn't paying for bandwidth either!
That depends on your point of view, if your a dial-up users on for crap phoneline that'll only connect at 28K or an ISP access provider that has to lease a oc48 instead of a T3 then you'll lean toward BL. black hole list, to save bandwidth. If your on broadband then local filtering is probably preferable.
The big point of the article is that the blackhole list are sometimes subverted by persons with a political agenda. If a group of people don't like what I'm saying, they can sign up for my mailing-list and then complain to the black-list that I'm sending spam to them, with enough compalints I find that the Emails to the people who want and agree to recieve my emails are unable to do so.
Even worst is when whole blocks of addresses are block just because a spammer has been using one address in the block. This could effect 100's of web-sites, not all Email are sent by a human on a dialup line.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the sleaze-bag spammers are reporting other spammers to the lists just to cut down the competetion to reach tha few gullibles that think they need a peter-pump.
