    sing, so you dont need justin bieber...oh wait.. do some basic plumbing do give money to the state, so IRS doesnt rob you print money, so the state doesnt tax you how to do it yourself, so women dont screw you... how to care of yourself, so doctors dont cheat you. how to build a notebook, so wallmart doesnt sell you crap. how to build clothes... how to grow your own food... meh, why is it that people think they can do others people job has long they own a computer? I can buy a stethoscope, or powertools, or a cutting hair machine but that doesn't turn me into a MD, or a plumbing man, or into an hairdresser.

    You got it wrong. The primary goal IS generating profit, but not for you or the people.

  6. Re:Could someone please provide the same service.. on French ISP Blocking Web Ads By Default · · Score: 1

    And why not boycott? The media is overpriced and obsolete, and they have got no incentive to embrace new technologies, instead shifting their energies to antagonise their customer base. Where do you find blu-rays at 5-8? Recent movies? meh The physical shifting of DVDs across the globe and the real estate they occupy at stores, and at homes is stupid and obsolete. Just a waste of space and natural resources. And they are not pretty to showcase by any account.

    You are wrong sir. The OBVIOUS solution is to boycott the whole thing altogether until: a) they dont put adverts there; b) they sell them at no more than a Mac burger; c) they dont forbid me from skipping chapters on a thing I bought and is MINE.

    Be proactive. Dont expose interfaces for users login/webmail/POP with non-encrypted protocols. Where applicable, limit-rate the connections or ban for an hour consecutive failed logins.

  24. More security on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Anti-Spam Service Extortion? · · Score: 1

    In my opinion any respectable ISP should nowadays block port 25/TCP in the residential blocks to protect it is own customers from being blacklisted, as there are know and better alternatives. Further more, the email servers should run in separate addresses, or better yet, in a different net block. Alas, spammers and configuring it has gotten so time intensive, that in the long run, it gets cheaper to outsource to google. (many people is not aware they still can keep their domain). You can always also do transparent routing in the 25/TCP and filter it through a spam appliance/email server. Block yourself the repeat offenders. Warn the customers. (as I said previously, blocking 25 altogether seems a nicer idea). I would finish saying port 25/SPAM is more a political than a technical problem, however if you dont act on it, it is not of use posting rants as articles in facebook.

    Amazon is based in XEN. At my job, we actually have a farm/vmware infra-structure of 200+ servers, where a bit less than half are Linux. Most bigger business here, banks too, are using VmWare. It maybe that in near future hyperV will get more used, however we dont trust it.
