  1. Doesn't work worth shite. on Exeem Open Beta Released · · Score: 1

    It may just be me... the fact that nobody else is complaining about it makes me think that it may just be me... but I can do searches, but never start a download. I can't see anything being blocked at my HW firewall.

    The FAQ says it can take an hour or so to start a download... say WHAT? Why don't I just use Azureus? By the time Exeem starts the download, I'll have already downloaded 2 or 3 copies of the files using Az!

    Yes, I've already removed the adware. And now goes the app...

  2. Re:Um, nope on Fighting Spam on the Home Front · · Score: 1

    How would you pick a section of the message to checksum that couldn't be changed?

    I would think that headers, body, etc... would all be relatively easy to serialize so that a byte or string of bytes would be sequential for a batch of messages. Voila, checksum is no good.

    I would think that the only thing you could do is to compare messages for "likeness" to other known spam. Say 95% or higher of a match would be flagged as spam? But this would take a lot more analysis per message.

  3. Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse? on Fighting Spam on the Home Front · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't trying to attribute a checksum to a spam message be difficult? It would only work for messages that are 100% identical. So all a spammer would have to do is include something unique in each email (like 5 random characters at the end of the body?) which I think they're doing now for some spam I've been getting...

  4. Why plugin? on Reaching Unsanctioned TLDs With A Plug-In · · Score: 1

    If an ISP wanted to do a value-added service to their customers, they could just peer their DNS so that if you used their DNS servers, the ISP's DNS servers would go looking upstream at these new TLD servers as well. Bingo, no plugin required for anything. How about www.Slashdot? ftp.slashdot? Discussion.slashdot?...
