  2. Re:The open relay testers send me unsolicited e-ma on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    He was trying a known exploits to find out if a mail server sends spam and should be black listed. He never lied about the intentions of the email and so what if the Return-Path is forged, the point is if a mail is not returned to him it is not spam. My mail server can handle bounces no problem. If Lotus Domino can't then to bad for them and the idiots that use the swiss army knife type software.

    And where did he lie about the source? Below is an example orbz email. I see orbz.org all over it. (I've removed everything that could identify me or my mail servers and replaced that with x's. I've also removed the greater-than and less-than symbols around the email addresses so /. would display them)

    Subject: ORBZ TestThis is a test message from the ORBZ service. We are checking your
    mail server for open relay capabilities. The receipt of this email in
    no way indicates that you are running an open relay.

    If you are interested in the results of this test, see:

    http://orbz.org/?xx.xx.xx.xx

    If it turns out your server fails the test and is an open relay,
    spammers might be stealing your bandwidth. In fact, ORBZ tests are
    often triggered by forwarded spam. In this case, you can find
    information on how to secure your mail server at:

    Does this mean that the RR sales staff will tell you that you can't sign up for RR if you're not running on of their supported OS's? They do this with Linux currently, I basically told them that I run Linux and that it is really none of their business what OS I run and that I didn't expect them to "support" my OS, but I did expect them to support their network. I really wish they would lose the whole supported operating system BS.

  11. Re:Yea! on Wind River lays off FreeBSD developers; Q&A · · Score: 1

    You are an idiot. The point is that BSD is the exact opposite of proprietary software. You IP is anyones to take, use and make money. GPL on the otherhand is the best of both free and proprietary. Anybody has the freedom to use GPL software, but if you change it you have to contribute back to the community the changes you made if you make the sofware available to anybody else.

    You could event the next great app, place it under the BSD license and hell yea it would be free, but some Joe who is smarter than you could come along and take your code, add a couple of things and sell proprietary versions. All the while you still have to go to the soup kitchen twice a week. With the GPL you would have access to Joe's changes get an even better idea and make some money for yourself. Of course Joe would have access to your changes, but that is only fair.

    You all compete, make a better product and let the best marketer win. Oooops. That would be Microsoft, so never mind.

    Not really a dump idea. Amateur hand held tranceivers have long had cross band repeat and dual receive. Icom is one company that makes them. Some of these include dc to light receivers, hundreds of memories and the ability to transmit on up to 4 differenct frequency bands. If people really want "free" communications an amateur radio license is super easy to get.

    There use of technology is the only technology in the whole company. Does it make sense that a company founded in 2000 can buy old "unexploited" patients and sue innovative companies? Bad lawyers...bad...bad.

  16. Re:Testing on Y2K Bug Blamed For Miscalculated Down Syndrome Risk · · Score: 1

    My point is why are they having babies in the first place. If they don't have the time for the added responsibility of a Down's baby then they out to rethink having a baby in the first place and adopt.

    So I guess what I really mean by pro-choice is that the choice shouldn't be made after the fact in normal situations and the choice is to have a baby or not. Termination doesn't enter the picture. I think a lot of people miss this when they talk about this issue.

  17. Testing on Y2K Bug Blamed For Miscalculated Down Syndrome Risk · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would like to question the reason such testing is necessary in the first place. If a woman wants to become a mother doesn't the fact that she would consider termination of her pregency because her baby is "less than perfect" create some doubt about her ability to parent? We became parents because we loved children, not because we wanted perfect children.

    My wife is a midwife (and previously worked with down's syndrome adults) and we are against most prenatal testing and find it offensive that a person who chooses to be a mother could reconsider because a doctor told her that her baby was damaged.

    And no, we are not right to lifer's. We are liberal, UU's and pro-choice.

    I love moderators who DON'T READ THE ARTICLE. For that ID-10-T here is the paragraph which my comment refers.

    Because what we're preparing for is not the Code Reds of today, but the Code Deep Purples of tomorrow. Not half-assed worms cobbled together by so-called "script kiddies" who merely download the right pieces of code and whose intentions are basically benign. I'm talking about vast and malicious super worms. If you could create something that attacked Cisco router software, for example, you really would cause a global Internet meltdown.
