Unfortunately you're dealing with AOL, a company that has always been a few cents short of a dollar. There's probably not much you can do. Sorry this isn't helpful, but it's not your fault they placed the Junk button so close to the delete button.
You meant Voila! Apparently Slashdot doesn't allow accented characters; I tried typing it three different ways and it still wouldn't show up in the preview.
If we are going to pay for them with taxes, then they should not be in the form of additional taxes. Rather, the legislature needs to tighten its purse-strings: cut social programs, reduce administrative salaries, and put the money back into where it needs to go: defense and public works.
I think our Congressmen, Representatives and top-level government administrators have forgotten that they are servants of the people! They should be honored to have such a job! What I wouldn't sacrifice to have a powerful voice in the legislature of this country, or to head a committee on a topic of national importance. I would sacrifice everything to get there...except my integrity.
This is completely absurd. I am against wiretapping in principle; however, if the government wants to mess with the operation of a private entity, then that private entity (the ISP) should be justly compensated for their time and effort. The government should pay for the upgrades, not the consumer. While I'm on the subject of payment, let's assume that the FBI requires the use of wiretapping in less than 1% of all its investigations. So they want to force 99% of the people to pay for something they only need for 1% of the time?
Bottom line: The FBI can go piss on itself. Fuck the system.
For the benefit of posterity, I archived the entire site this morning, including audio and video content. It is now available for you to download as a Bittorrent release, containing a single RAR file. The site was archived using HTTrack 3.3 and set to crawl to infinitely many levels, excluding external sites. You may unpack to an empty folder and browse it as if you were on the live site.
Total size is 450MB, compressed down to 130MB using WinRAR 3.3.
What difference does it make that these companies are including these forced anti-counterfeit measures? Crackers are willing to go ANY length necessary to defeat any and all anti-piracy measures. As a matter of fact, a patch for Adobe Photoshop CS was released just a few weeks ago that turns off the built-in currency-scanning mechanism.
People have a right to use software that does not impose arbitrary restrictions upon them. When Adobe has a virtual monopoly on the image editing market (because their software is really freakin' good), it is in their best interest not to alter the software in such a way that pisses off their customers.
Both Adobe and the Government need to learn a lesson from the recording industry: don't alienate the consumers by adding "features" that restrict their personal rights. Uncle Sam does not need to get involved in this process; what he should do instead is invest more energy into training cashiers pens that change color on fake money, and train cashiers better on how to spot fakes.
Hmm, sounds like a fancy name for a computer expert. All you have to do is read the SMTP headers in most email and it will reveal the sender's IP. Just trace it back down the line of servers through which the email was routed, and you get back to the original IP address.
If the sender is spoofing headers, however, this becomes more difficult. Why not just subpoena the ISP for their email data? Doesn't the server keep a log of what IP addresses sent which pieces of email?
For example:
Received: from [65.119.30.157] (helo=SMTP.magnellmail.net)
by snoopy-bak.runbox.com with smtp (Exim 4.24)
id 1Ae9TJ-0006F6-B0
for xxxxxxxx@runbox.com; Wed, 07 Jan 2004 09:55:25 +0100 Received: from mail pickup service by E1SSL2 with Microsoft SMTPSVC;
Wed, 7 Jan 2004 00:56:48 -0800
The above shows that someone at 65.119.30.157 sent this email. It went through their mail server (magnellmail.net) to runbox, my provider. From there, Runbox directed it to my Inbox when I opened Outlook.
There is also a very unique message ID at the end of the headers section:
Message-ID: [E1SSL23ZpEVmkWFBXZG000011b9@E1SSL2]
Could this be used by the Email provider to find out who sent emails, if the IP address is missing or spoofed?
This company is promoting a 24/7 GPS service that enables you to track your vehicle and it will keep you informed if there is any maintenance needed.
I've heard the commercials on the radio, and they spend about 20 seconds describing the technology, then the other 40 seconds are spent on a female voice reading what at first sound like legal disclaimers. But then she says something like "Network Car may not be used to track your husband, find out how lost he got on the way to the grocery store, and then call him to make fun of him." Pretty funny stuff, actually.
This is interesting to me because there are a bazillion board games out there, and most of them are overpriced and have limited playability. Card games and their variants are countless.
I think this whole practice of political correctness should be done away with. It is twisting our language too rapidly and preventing the free exercise of speech. Politicians have to grow and pair and get some thicker skin. They must realize that a language develops because people make new terms and apply new definitions to existing words based on events with which they are familiar. You cannot force us to speak differently just so a puny minority will not be offended.
Politicians, I think it is YOU who are offended, not the minority which you claim to represent!
The top 1% of spammers who can afford the bandwidth and the hardware could still theoretically handle the volumes of email they would receive. Then they just have to expand their operations to go after the potential business contacts.
Now what about sending them bogus email addresses and phony information? That would send them on a wild goose chase.
You can also go out the SPDIF or Optical Out port, then come back in the other SPDIF/Optical In port. I think this trick gets rid of any "broadcast flags" or similar protection in the computer.
Would someone please verify this little trick, if I have my facts straight?
I would like to say that the headline for this article is sensationalized and very misleading.
If you read Slashdot regularly, you will find an abundance of published stories that seek to push hardware and software beyond their normal limits, thereby allowing greater freedom and possibly skirting the law at the same time.
In this case, I was led to believe that I could use MyTunes to download from computers across the Internet, when in fact it is designed strictly for those who listen to Mp3s across a LAN--like a dedicated music server, for instance. It is not intended to enable sharing of MP3s across the global internet (even though it, too, is a "network").
I have a Pentium 4 @ 2.6GHz, overclocked to 3.2GHz. My power strip is plugged into a great little device: the Kill-A-Watt wattmeter. I can track my electricity usage over time by Volts, amps, Watts, VA, and it keeps a log of the kWh consumed by a particular device.
When Folding@Home is turned off, my power consumption for the entire system is 140W. When I activate Folding@Home, the Wattmeter reading jumps to about 190-195W.
So if you're concerned about electricity usage in your house, then yes, distributed computing sucks more power.
Remember to bridge the L1 and L2 gaps. Then you'll need to slap on a Zalman copper heatsink or a Vantec aeroflow on the back of the PDA. How's that for overclocking? Now you can put in your contacts and record voice memos even faster!
no - the free registration was for the tracker i selected, unawares that it would require people to register in order to connect. my bad. i won't use them in the future.
the free registration @ nature was to access the zip file, but they would be slashdotted by the time you all got to it. so i created a torrent of the zip file.

thank you for getting the quote correct. but i still got first post :)
