I don't see it that way at all, this law will the major league spammers on serious notice, don't spam.think of it this way Spam-king gets busted.
he loses his money,
he loses his equipment that sent the spam,
if he sent the spam from home, he loses that
he goes to prison for 1-5, he loses his freedom
Tyron put a size 13 tallywacker in his size 2 tallywacker-holder if you know what I mean.
the wife divorces him while he's in the joint and child support leaves him with $7.00 a month to buy soap and tooth paste with so Don't dare get sick, medicade requires a three dollars co-pay.
the state offers him parole, which he might get after going through group therapy, AA, being born-again, not gettin a major ticket for two years and genernaly kissing a lot of brown-eye.
Virginia says we'll let you out 1 year early, if he agrees to parole terms (see Tyron for motivation),
3 year parole for 1 year early out
you pay for parole officers' time who in turn will tell you where you can live, work, what you can own(no computers, that's for sure, and who you can associate with.
you will pay the fine,(they took all of his money already so he better get that job)
Don't forget about restitution, and paying into the victim's rights fund
Oh by the way the IRS wants its taxes on those profits that Virginia siezed plus penalties and interest
Don't forget that since the state's got him, he a whole bunch easier for me and the million others like me to sue for my $50.00 per in civil penalties
most of his first page can be taken care of with static links
no he can't, everybody knows that excessive use of static and sym links to work around crappy filesystem layout is IP of SCO, and they'll sue you for a gizillion schamolies if you don't have a liciense and a NDA on file Just ask the rabbit next thing you know the Weezles and Judge Doom will busting down his door with a barrel of dip in the paddy wagon
Because spammer use forged headers they don't get the no such users bounches so it could be that your grandmother get picked a UID that was getting spam even before it existed. Kinda like getting a phone call from a bill collector for the person that had the phone number before you.
Of course it is possible that the account name was stolen or sold; I get a lot of MSN messenger spam on the new XP Machine, mostly from blockmessenger.com
That's what most of us use hotmail/yahoo/lycos for; an address to use for activities that have a high risk for attracting spam. My yahoo account lets about 4 out of 100 spams slip through. That's easy enough to deal with, i delete 100 spams with one click of the mouse.
Things are tougher if you have a website because the mail has to go somewhere and it a lot more difficult to change domain names than it is to finaly give up a totaly spaminated free email account.
Old way 1 see sign promissing "Earn $70.00/hr at home on 'puter" 2. set up free hotmail account. 3. set out Email, forward replies for payment 4. hotmail closes account within one hour. 5. rinse, lather repeat
new way 1.hire l33t hax0r to write trojan 2. put trojan on unsuspecting peoples' 'puter 3. trojon sends 1k spams 4. wonder why ISP closes grandma's broadband account
I live in Michigan which I just found out is a SuperDMCA state, so here its absolute. I have to get permission from the electric company to plug in remotely controled lamps, or power-line ethernet.
I think the real power that an ISP could have is more in the way of bandwidth throtling certain sites,say CNN might pay a premium to keep their site on the fast proxy server while maybe MSNBC get stuck on the slow one. Or even better the address of other banner ad supplier's
Thanks for the link its pretty close to what I really want, I can handle a little scripting to get the rest of the way, What I'm looking for is some help to untangle spaghetti code, I'm sure a lot of us could use that at times.
sure some profit but most are the staving artists type, or the garage band that sells a quarter million cds and only owe the record companies a thousand or two. Seems pretty close to the OSS programer whose has to decide between paying the mortgage on his home or paying the rent on the office for his consulting biz.
Most people don't even believe they're stealing because its bundled with the hardware they really see it as free and given to them to do with as they see fit.
Mangle is an open source C/C++ deformattor/decommentor. It currently removes all comments and formatting from both ANSI and non-ANSI C/C++ code.
Dynamic random variable renaming to further obfuscate code is in the works. Expect the next beta (3.1b) to have support for this.
probably isn't a project that resonates well with most OSS programmers. write a program that'll do the opposite to php and I'll beta test the hell out of it. Might eve get inspired to help you.
The RIAA sues a couple of college students for $98 BILLION DOLLARS for putting up a song sharing server on a college campus. more like puting up a server pointing to file sharer. to pointing to people violating copyrights isn't the same as going after the people violating the copyrights
simply because here's stealing for profit, there has to be some way for him to get the money. "Gee I won the auction, where do I send the check, I don't have a Cerdit Card." My stepson buys and sells sportscards and It amazes me how many people just send a check, big checks sometimes. Music copiers are just transfering something that may or may not be illegal for free, so nobody has to send them money
I think more to the point is that organization such as government, olympic commites etc. are unable to make laws or regulations that have the desired effects and no undesired effects. What happens to people whose grand-parents had a genetic treatment for a disease process, which was determined to have an illegal performance enhancing effect a generation later? If Kenyan marathon runners tend to have a localize genetic variance, that is usefull for treating a genetic muscle disorder, will Kenyan's be alowed to posess the gene and compete, but a blue eyed Finns be dis-allowed?
It's insanely inflamatory, especialy considering that the OSS developer's that are to stupid to code an effective OS without stealing their precious IP are most likely the only people porting new apps to their otherwise dead OS. I feel that they have insulted me, and I just use Linux, not develope it.
strip out the IP sco licensed from Microsoft from openServer and it wouldn't even boot! SCO bought Xenix from Microsoft, and it the base for their OS, Microsoft copyright notices are all over it. That's why this suit is going to be very interesting, so much of the source code was bought and sold, often in circles, that it may take a decade in court to figure out who realy owns what.
sorry but to protect a trade secret, you have to keep it secret. If an Employee gives a way your secret without authorization, your still ok, if the secret is stolen as in industrial espionage your still ok, but if the competetors just figures it out it lost.
I'm still trying to figure that out. UNIX source code is like a hilbilly joke about a guy who married is step-daughterwho purchased the rights to a program call "Hello World". Actualy depending on what they are talking about, even Microsoft or Apple isn't immune.
we have a SCO openServer box at work, and yes its running an an old applications but I know that it does in fact work with a single modem for two-way communications.
I can't tell you about networking or X on openServer, cause our app don't use it and it's not installed, (the app was originaly on Xenix)
If they could come up with a more efficient way to transfer heat energy to electrical energy other than a steam turbine then we would have an almost unlimited resource in the suns radiation Turning heat into electricity isn't hard the thing is called a thermo-couple, doing it effiencently is more difficult. thermo-couple take two sets of two dis-simmular metal connected together place one set in a heat source and one set in a heat sink and electricty flows. hook it to a battery and you move heat, it's then called a peltier device. I don't know about effiency compared to a steam engine or a sterling engine, but i expect that the capital expense is greater with thermocouples than with steam or sterling engines.
Hey moderators, if only 3 people actualy post on topic like this guy, are they realy offtopic becuase everybody else in the thread is post stupid shit on purpose and he isn't?
gas meter maybe, but kind of reduntant for an electric meter. They'd still have to communicate with the central office so you'd have to run a communications line, but concidering the cost of labor for meter readers it would probaby be worth it in the long run.
I Don't think it's much more expensive to run a fiber as compared to a copper pair so why not run a fiber instead. Of course you'd have a lot of excess bandwidth so why not let the cable tv provider, piggyback with the gas and electric company? and of course the copper line to the telephone would be kind of silly with all of that bandwidth available, as would a DSL/Cable modem line when we all get a gigabit to the door! At that point who'd compalin about giving a little dab of electricity to the gas meter
If you added a coil to absorb the RF from the transmitter, rectified it you could use that to charge the battery too! after all any RF that's not going to the tower is being wasted so recovering any energy going to the ground or sky and any direction other than straight at the tower is just recycling waste.
Seriously you probably could actualy get some net gain by just setting the above on top of the computer monitor if your phone was just idling and not being talked on.
actualy I've read about placing vanes in the exhaust pipe of engines to recover waisted acoustic energy (exhaust noise) to add to the elctrical system and charge the battery while mufffling the sound. I expect that the cost to benefit ratio is pretty low because it was long enough ago that we'd see it being used if it had any efficency.
I used sound-powered telephones 30 yrs ago in the army, designated TA1's. The joke was to send the newbie to get batteries for the thing. The navy called them sound powered telephone so the joke lost a lot in the translation.
