You obviously have never admin'ed an apache web server. By default, it logs every IP, every request
You obviously have no idea that most people who do admin webservers don't surf from them.
If you bothered to check you would know that. That has nothing to do with the resources it uses when it is cranking.
Try working on your reading comprehension. If you'd bothered to actually read to the end of my post (a whopping two more sentences) you'd see that I addressed that. Here it is, just for you:
it's the data tables that make this useful.
In order for this to be useful, you need the data tables - so unless you have a cluster that can create them, you need to download the 47GB worth of data.
Next time, try reading the entire post before you reply. You make yourself look like much less of a moron.
A little reworking of the zombie, and the spammers are back in bidness
How is that, exactly?
If outbound connections to port 25 are blocked, how are the zombies supposed to connect to port 25? No amount of 'reworking' will allow the zombie to connect to a blocked port, because the block happens upstream.
As someone else said, the only change the spammers can make is to route through the ISP's mailserver, which is (or should be) rate limited.
playing with the constitution and the like, which is effectively impossible in Canada.
Wrong. Section 33 (the 'notwithstanding' clause) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Canadian constitution) allows the government to override court decisions it doesn't like (even those of the supreme court.)
It's not easy to do, the government would likely catch hell over it, and there is an automatic 5 year sunset clause for any invocation of Section 33, but it's far from impossible.
only fanboys give a 9.2/10 rating to a movie like this. [...] Adding the extra decimal point is like forcing the newspaper to print an additional 1/10 of a star
I think if you check, you'll find that 9.2 would be adding two tenths of a star.:o)
Maybe this will compel the record industry to take a long, hard look at their current business model and realize it's no longer compatible with today's entertainment market.
Got news for you - the entertainment industry already knows that. That's why they're filing these lawsuits.
The music industry had a stranglehold on music distribution, which gave them the ability to abuse artists as much as they want ("You don't want to sign this contract? Fine, you'll never be able to make money from your music.")
The internet changed all that. It's now becoming possible for an independent band to market their music to a worldwide audience.. and so now the music industry has competition, and they're desperately trying to extend the life of their business model as long as possible.
Can anybody explain though why the courts overturned the request from the music industry to have the ISPs turn over customer's identities? I agree that was a Good (TM) development, but it doesn't seem to fit into my gun analogy.
No, it does fit. Your prejudice is what prevents you from seeing it immediately. (See below.)
If the gun was used in a crime, law enforcement could force the company/dealers to turn over gun/owner/buyer information.
This is the prejudice. You're assuming that because someone made a file avaliable, that a crime was committed, where in reality, that is not so clear. The judge said as much in the ruling.
It's not the case that the 'gun' was used in the crime, but that the courts weren't convinced that a crime occurred at all. The CRIA said "ISPs are hiding people who are illegally trading our files!", and the court responded with "no, they're protecting the identity of people who are trading files, but it's entirely possible that trading is not illegal - prove that, and then we'll talk."
there is no transfer of property, so there is no sale
Bullshit. If there was no sale, then the store is liable for fraud - because they sold it to me. And if you wanna go bark up that tree, you'll find that MS sells the software to them, so MS would also be liable for fraud.
Just because you've fallen for the EULA propaganda, doesn't mean it's true.
50% of Americans are complete morons. (Which is actually what he says to foreigners when he gives interviews.)
Well, considering that a recent poll shows that 50% of Americans still believe that Iraq was involved with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, I'm not so sure he's wrong.
Of course, a truly smart criminal would know that a smart investigator would realize that most people know that you shouldn't ask for the check to be written out to your own real name; so he should not have the check written to his own name. But naturally, a well-trained detective would recommend that possibility and immediately discount the possiblity that the name he demanded to be written on the check was his own name; so he should have used his own name.
sounds a bit like the ol' Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch. Always thought it was funny.
I was gonna say more like the book shop sketch.. (because the buyer keeps wanting all these obscure things that the seller doesn't have.) If the telemarketer didn't have any videos at all, then it would be like the cheese shop sketch.:o)

We're talking about 10 lines of picture quality difference. Overscan on your TV takes more.
Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
It's a bit like noticing the difference between 640x480 and 640x400 video modes.
Evidently not. Here's some news for you: two pictures with exactly the same resolution can have VASTLY different picture qualities.
The quality difference between Betamax and VHS had a hell of a lot more to do with sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity - Betamax beat VHS in ALL of these qualities, not just the number of lines of resolution.
Betamax had a wider video track than VHS, which resulted in less crosstalk, and a better SN ratio. It had a larger chroma bandwith and better colors. It also had higher peak white frequency, sync tip frequency, and better FM deviation.
It's a hell of a lot more than "10 lines" of resolution.
Just because you're not proven guilty doesn't mean you have the right to do whatever you want.
Nice straw man there. Or are you attempting to change the subject intentionally?
The check agains this is that falsely reporting a crime is illegal as well.
Wow, irrelevant facts!
First copyright infringement is not a crime unless the 'value' is many thousands of dollars. (If you're not selling it, it's not a crime.)
Second, falsely reporting a crime to the police is a crime. An ISP is not the police.
The bottom line is that you believe that when it comes to copyright infringement, someone is guilty until proven innocent. It doesn't matter how you try to justify it to yourself.

ISP takes down material NO MATTER WHAT (thus immediately preventing possible further infringements). It's then up to the site owner to prove they own the right to post the material.
Ahh, yes, the classic 'guilty until proven innocent' clause guaranteed by the constitution..
Nevada prostitutes in whore houses get paid about $1000-$2000/hr, don't have to work many hours, and get paid to have lots of sex.
Which sounds great, until you realize that "get paid to have lots of sex" != "get paid to have lots of sex with attractive members of the opposite sex."
I mean, would you have sex with Rosanne Barr or Hillary Rosen for only $1000?:o)
Evaluation of Canadian content in a television program is based on the following criteria: whether its producer and key creative personnel are Canadian; the amounts paid to Canadians for services provided to make the program; and amounts spent in Canada on lab processing.
Notice anything absent from that list?
Oh yeah - that the nationalities of the characters , and whether they say "aboot", or end their sentences with "eh."
Besides the fact that it's only two minutes of the program (and therefore wouldn't be enough to change the decision anyway), the fact that it's shot in the same studio, using the same people as the rest of the show, means that the show would have been classified as "Canadian" even without the sketch.
Which shows that you are either lying, or the source you claim to be quoting was misinformed.
The copyright holder still owns the work, not the public. There is a subtle difference, but an important one.
No, the copyright holder does not own the work. The copyright holder owns the right to copy the work. The work itself has no owner. There is a subtle difference, but an important one.

If it's a production server that you can't afford to even reboot, maybe you shouldn't be giving the root password to some random website
Yes, because knowing the password means that you automatically know the IP address too, right?
Personally, I think it would be better if they released an app that does this.
Yeah, a 47GB app. That'd be a snap to download.
They're using RainbowCrack - the app is no secret.. it's the data tables that make this useful.

This is pure bullshit, and your insistence on the emphasized point is proof.
There is NO requirement for anything in a TV show to be "Canadian."
Whoever was producing SCTV (maybe Global? I don't remember) either needed the Canadian content
Look here for what constitutes Canadian Content.
Evaluation of Canadian content in a television program is based on the following criteria: whether its producer and key creative personnel are Canadian; the amounts paid to Canadians for services provided to make the program; and amounts spent in Canada on lab processing.
