don't do like the parent poster. Instead check that the phone allows you to install your own ringtone/sms alert/alarm clock MIDI via bluetooth/infrared/usb instead of just limiting you to whatever your operator provides to you. Making a ringing and simple beep MIDI files yourself are trivial...
But usually I use my mobile phone's (Siemens S55) alarm clock feature. Using phones alarm is very common as it is with you anywhere you go to sleep. In the phone's settings you can choose between the legacy AM/PM and 24H display/alarm setup. I can use any MIDI file on it for alarm clock sound.
So I've combined the two americas most hated inventions and I love it:P
Vanity domain owners who are unwilling to accommodate the requirements of SPF
Where did you pick that from? My browsers search doesn't spot that string here: http://spf.pobox.com/faq.html anyway:
I think he is referring to those who do not bother/want to proteect their vanity domains with spf records. Which only a transitional problem.
According to Meng Weng Wong, I'm forging my own address. Bullshit.
You said you don't understand the system - Do you know what the diffrence is between "RCPT from" and From: ?
"RPCT from" is the record usually only seen by mailers - implicates where the mail technically came from - and is used for sending the bounce to right place. "From:" is what you see in your mailer. Now the point:
SPF (and again, all the alternative schemes) restrict only "RCPT from".
-snip- A incorrect implication of the effect of SPF and vanity domains -snip-
If you own your own domain, YOU can add to YOUR whitis.com zone as many IP:s/nets as you want that are allowed to send mail claiming to be from whitis.com. Or if you are feeling lucky and think that nobody evil will send spam coming from whitis.com - Just don't add the records. SPF (and the others) are about giving the POSSIBILITY of limiting which IP's can send mail in a domains name.
NOTHING in SPF or the other suggestions imply you need a static IP or your own server, or any of the other crack you are smoking in your posting.
It You who aren't going anywhere until you get a clue.
The server that pushes.debs to archive is running debian/sparc (donated by sun btw), so probably the cracker didn't know how to port his leet exploit to sparc (all the comprimised machines were 1386).
The worm sends a large amount of data to remote servers (port 80 and ICMP). The worm verifies that a connection is active by contacting www.google.com. If successful, an attack is initiated on the following domains:
(Like email at fake addresses, fake phone numbers and the like.)
Remember that ICANN requires registrar to terminate any domain in 14 days if whois information is bogus. So the spammers have few choices:
1: use correct info and get tracked. 2: use fake info and luse the domain 3: use somene elses info and get sued for identity theft
Their response to me when I tried to complain about a spammer using a.org domain (with no whois info)
What was the domain anyway?
Are you sure you use the right whois server? some untransitioned domains don't show up in whois.pir.org yet. If there really is no contact info, you should contact the registrar and tell them that the mentioned domain has fraudulent whois data. It's the registrars responsibility to maintain correctness in whois database, not the registrys AFAIk.
And I don't know where you get the crudge against.org, it's the.biz that spammer appear to favour anyway.
Honestly, though, I'm tired of all this "we hate software if it's not free", and "GNU/"-everything cr4p. To each his own, I guess, but it gets kinda old after a while.
As we have seen from the SCO case, being anal about licensing and redistribution terms is unfortunately necessary. Better be safe than sorry.
But that still won't work for my companies. I have 3 software development companies that have people all over the planet that use our hosted email servers, using POPAUTH relay authorization
Well du-uh, you obviously didn't read the proposal at ALL. You are supposed list exactly those RELAY IP's that your users use for popauth relaying, not the IP's they used originally
I think the main reason is that alchemy is MIPS based, while vast majority of pockepc's are ARM-based, palms are moving from m68k to ARM, symbian hasn't even seen on a non-ARM platform. So while theoretically you could run pockepc on a alchemy board, you still won't run all the nice ipaq apps on it.
On the other hand, recompiling Linux apps for alchemy/MIPS is very trivial.
The ratio of "collateral damage" to actual spams stopped is way too high
Hear, Hear. Effective blacklists with no practical collatarate damage actually exist, even if all the attention seems to gather around the overzealous(SPEWS) and stupid(AOL) blocklists.
dsbl.org open proxy/relay list, easy to get out once you fix the problem. very effective. spamhaus.org lists IP addressess known to belong to spammers. Not as effective as dsbl, but a nice compliment in case spammer decides to send mail directly instead of raping a relay.
with those two, 60-80% of spam will stop at gates, so you will still need a content based filter for the rest.
If indymedia is so right, why don't they nor you dare to link to the article that got them banned from google NEWS? Perhaps they are afraid that by linking to this people would make their OWN judgement if the article was really hate speech?
And why are you failing to mention that the removal happened on NEWS search, far less used service thatn that WEB search? web search on google will still result all indymedia articles. Search for zionazi and find you beloved indymedia on the second page.
personally I think that indymedia would be a great addition to the news search. but if their only excuse to hate speach is "hey, others do that as well" - Fuck em.
I, for one, would very much like to see a European Microsoft.
Umm, Microsoft became huge because in the early eighties there where no software patents. Think about it, if xerox and apple would have patented everything they invented, we would have no free GUIs or email...
See the this Bill Gates Quote for an insight. If you really want an european MS, you should lobby fiercily AGAINST software patents.
I don't think radio comms are that intresting for the vast mayority of users, except for possibly the cellid information. However, This thing is pretty useless if it can't run standard qt/embedded ( c++ ) apps. The apis and performance J2ME gives are simply too limited.
kstars opera, nethack, gpsdrive ssh, vnc, qt-rdesktop, irc etc are stuff that would be very hard to implement in MIDP, while they are ALREADY available for qt/embedded, probably needing just small display size tweaks.
While we are at it, could it be possible get some screenshots of this device? so far I've only seen the marketing pics of it.
He obviously has more knowledge of blacklisting than you have. Or give us an EXAMPLE of spews blacklisting an subnet that isn't on a spemmer friendly ISP. And lumping every blacklist from spews to dsbl.org and spamhaus.org isn't very wise either.
Even spews doesn't just blaclist entire A/B subnets at glance, unless they obviously belong to a spammer. They start with single IP:s, and ONLY IF the spammer doesn't get kicked out, the block is gradually enlargened.
It's not blind logic either. Standard whois queries are used to check what IP block belong together and who owns them. If your ISP owns an/16 subclass and doesn't bother setting rwhois up to make people able to distinguish between IP's owned be legitimate companies and IP's owned by spammers, how can a blacklister know what IP's of/16 black belong to the spammer?
And while boasting spamassassin, remember that it uses blacklists as well. However, using blacklists on SMTP level seems to be the only way bring attention for the spamming problem for the ISP harboring spammers.
Personally, I don't use spews, but: dsbl open relay, open proxy lists. spamhaus sblIp network ranges belonging to spammers.
0 collateral damage so far. Other high-quality blacklists include:
spamcop dynamic and automatic blacklist that lists IP addresses only WHILE they are spamming. njabl probably the best list overall, listing all of them: spammers, proxies, relays, dialups.
Ofcourse, many insist not using their ISP's smtp servers so dialup ip blocking is risky, and spamcop.net relies on users repoting spam so a group of clueless people may reuslt a wrong IP blacklisted, so the above two blacklists don't suit everyone..
I think this is caused because the FCC specs say that a device X must use frequency y, and less than backgound noise on other frequencies.
Now, every RF transmitter is a analog device and as such it's impossible to transmit perfectly in the mandated frequency, so some leak to the neighbouring frequencies is inevitable. Still OK, a single device X will not produce noticable interference, as it produces less than background noise.
Now, instead of one device, you get thousands of RF transmitters, and the interference starts adding up, finally surpassing the background noise.
I believe this is also the reason why people are worried of UWB tech as well.
Instead of measuring interference produced by a single device, FCC will probably have to move measuring the interference created by an operational, full network.
Ofcourse this begs to ask why FCC allocated 800Mhz for mobile phones while knowing public safety departments use it AND the whole fucking entire other world uses 900Mhz. Thus making american phones incompatible with the entire other world for a long time...

Cia world factbook is mostly high quality, but for wome reason the ISP stats seem seriously wrong in many countries.
for example Finland:
Internet Service Providers (ISPs): 3 (2002)
The server that pushes .debs to archive is running debian/sparc (donated by sun btw), so probably the cracker didn't know how to port his leet exploit to sparc (all the comprimised machines were 1386).
Oh, puhhlleeeze:
Read the virus analysis before making untrue claims:
The worm sends a large amount of data to remote servers (port 80 and ICMP). The worm verifies that a connection is active by contacting www.google.com. If successful, an attack is initiated on the following domains:

That number was square miles FWIW.
Finland: 40
And it is hard to find an uncovered spot.
Unfortunatly China absolutely no problem hosting american spammers in their networks and allowing them to spew unlimited amounts of spam on the rest of the world..
If they can block everything incoming they don't like, why can't they block everything outspewing WE don't want?
