This will prevent all mail spoofing. It wouldn't stop anyone from having a mailing list though, although you would A) need your own domain, or B) get your mailing list server authenticated by your ISP.
Isn't this exactly the same as RMX (reverse MX), but with a much less cool name?
"Sender Permitted From" makes no sense without context, while "Reverse MX" tells you exactly what it is. RMX is a much cooler sounding acronim then SFP, IMO.
Having the last name as Bill, that windbag on fox news. Tim's built up his company over years and has great name recognition. But lately the first thing that pops into my head when I read about him is some officious wanker pontificating sans rational thought on faux news.
Well, I think this Slashdot headline is a little misleading, it makes it sound like these microbes are somehow removing radioactive material, which is obviously impossible. You can't change one elemental isotope into another one with any chemical reaction (which means no biological reaction either)
What they're doing is changing one molecule involving uranium (which is water soluble) into another molecule involving uranium (which isn't). Everything stays just as radioactive, but not dissolved in water.
It tells you what product you have in your hands. All you have to do is the requisit research into the product. So if I scan an XBox the thing could figure the fallout from Microsoft and flextronics and any other companies who's products are inside. If I scan a copy of Windows XP, it would give me just the fallout from MS.
solution. Simply block mail from servers with to many available mail servers. 4 billion is quite a bit:P
I think the solution is to setup a 'blacklist' of anon domains that do send spam, dissalow mail from domains that validate everything, and forwarding from 'legitimate' (i.e. non-forged) to a central authority to handle the legal work and pass on the juicy law-suit winnings : P
simply putting ADV: in the subject line would aliviate all of these problems. Don't want spam? Have your mail server drop anything with ADV. With IMAP all you need to d/l is the subject lines anyway.
Here are some ideas I came up with that build on RMX to help prevent, and prosecute spam.
The first involves anonymous domain names. The author of the draft suggests simply not accepting mail from annon domains. I don't know if I really like this idea. A better system might be a RTBL type list of anon domains known to vouch for spam. That way someone could get a domain name without giving up personal info, and still be able to send mail.
Another usefull feature would be to sue non-forging spammers. Everyone could upload their spams to a group server. Since most states have laws that allow you to sue spammers for small amounts of money per message, once enough are collected from a single domain a lawsuit with enough of a financial incentive to actualy go through could be undertaken.
Personaly, I'd like to see this stuff set up to allow arbitrary code to be run after boot, so you can see just who stole your crap, and what they're doing with it.
I wonder how hard it would be to 'whipe' the system clean, though? A simple cmos clear? is it 'always on' and pheonix simply ignores the problem unless you call up and complain? Of course, one could easily strip out all the goodies and leave the motherboard, which isn't even worth all that much these days anyway. Kind of like how a stolen car, when found by the police, would be nothing other then a frame and a lojack box...
There are ways to have email with the same level of anonymity that we have today without requiring some kind of authoritarian system. The most promising is the use of sender-verification. Rather then having some big brother type system setup, you have individual mail clients verify senders by replying to them and asking them to validate their humanity.
As long as it's a real person with a real email address sending the info, it should get through.
Really, this stuff should have been done years ago.
I doubt it will help all that much though, for one thing spammers could forge headers for any of the huge number of domains with lazy admins that do not use reverse MX. The vast majority of admins can't be bothered to close their relays, so I doubt this will help to much.
Even when the vast majority of sites out there implement it, a spammer can simply buy a domain name, and setup a DNS server with entries for all of the open relays they find, or used a hacked DNS server that simply says any IP address is a valid sender.
So this won't stop spam, but it will probably prevent people from using email address of people who don't have anything to do with the spam, however, which is a good thing. And we'll be able to track down spammers via their DNS servers.
There was a comment that you can do certain operations in different ways and come up with the same result in the end. It sounds like what nVidia might have been doing was re-arranging the operations to run faster, in other words performing a simple optimization of future mark's code. Of there was no VISUAL degedation, then I don't really see much of a cause for complaint.
Obviously any professional game engine is going to have optimization profiles for the major cards, so I don't see this as a big deal.
Dude, using IP dosn't mean they are transfering call trafic over the general internet. I really doubt they are going to give each phone line a real IP address rather then a 'local' one.
It would be pretty cool if they did. Imagine an RFC standard phone protocol that was implemented on lots of telephone like devices. In conjunction with DHCP you could have an internet phone that worked as simply as a regular phone. And you could talk to anyone with a PC and/or another phone (maybe by typing in the IP address?:P probably not).
Well, I can dream, can't I? (or is this not that far off? I know you can buy IP phones today, but I don't think that they can work with both the general internet and the general phone system)
What diffrence does it make if no one ever reads it? Hard drive space is cheap, it's not like there is a 'limit' to the web.
Just having the information out there for someone to search and make use of is a benifit. Unless some harm can come from it, It should be online for someone who might need it to find it.

All you'd need to do is bless your ISP's servers or any other mail server you'd use with your domain's RMX records (or *gag* 'SPF').
This will prevent all mail spoofing. It wouldn't stop anyone from having a mailing list though, although you would A) need your own domain, or B) get your mailing list server authenticated by your ISP.

Oh well.
Would like like to have your child kidnapped just because you happen to be a tissue match for some thug's daughter?
Well, given that they could simply kidnap you and take your organs, I don't really see how this helps.
And anyway, just because you can imagine negative consiquences doesn't mean that something is not worth doing.
And so does this review, good god man lay off the portence.
What's wrong with Hiroshima or Nagasaki?

Actualy my personal webserver is down, but you can find a lot of the novel at http://www.public.iastate.edu/~cokere/re/index2.h
I just finished The Diamond Age My Neil Stephenson. It's a good book but gets pretty bizzare at the end.
Danny Yee's book reviews are always intresting. He seems to be the #1 search result on google for book reviews.

Why not just use an ISP that offers SMTP-Auth or POP before SMTP so you can email from anywhere?
There are ways to have email with the same level of anonymity that we have today without requiring some kind of authoritarian system. The most promising is the use of sender-verification. Rather then having some big brother type system setup, you have individual mail clients verify senders by replying to them and asking them to validate their humanity.

Well, c already defines the meter.
Galileo was a european. I don't see why the US would be able to have more of a claim to him then europe...
That's like saying Linux is a huge waste of effort, because windows already exists.
Yeah, the median income might be low, but there are still millions of people who can afford cellphones.

I wa a little offended by that, as the artical mentioned, men are more likely to be victims of violent crime anyway.
And not only that, apperantly they don't think fat women should be allowed to use this type of technology either. How stupid.
