First, it would kill legitimate mailing lists. Imagine what the perl5-porters list or the Linux kernel list or any of the other high traffic mailing lists would have to do to keep operational. Large mailing lists already have problems with lag. This would just add to that.
Also, there does not seem to be anything that would stop them from doing these operations in background and just contact multiple sites while working on the problem. They would just multi-thread the mail spammer or just hijack more machines to use as their slaves.
This technique requires replacing every mail program out there to support the protocol. Of course, they will just make it a condition to connect to exchange. Might be a way of getting people away from having to talk to compromised Windows mail servers.
This is a bad solution for a big problem.
"Something must be done! This is something, therefore we must do it!"
I am interested to know what is happening with "Export Approval". Are they removing code to make BXA happy? Just what demands/changes/modifications are being made to "comply" with export controls?
Miramax has a reputation for destroying good films.
A prime example of this is "The Black Mask". The edit was terrible. More insulting was the replacement of the soundtrack with a black hiphop one that had nothing to do with the film. (Asian is non-white and so is hip-hop, so it must be OK.) The original cut was MUCH better.
I have Hero and Shaolin Soccer. I much prefer Shaolin Soccer. The message of "Hero" is that people must preserve the state, even if it kills them.
Shaolin Soccer is just FUNNY. (Stephen Chao is a genius! "God of Cookery" is another of his films. Imagine a martial arts version of the "Iron Chef".)
I have seen previews from Miramax of Shaolin Soccer. I had a hard time believing it was the same film. They tried to make it serious. (Yes, they are that clueless!)
Miramax may be legally right, but they are far from morally right.
If there is a god of film, Harvey Weinstien will burn in his hell.
I just read a post from Alan Cox, it appears that if you send a flush cache command to the specific LG drives or their compaq rebadged ones, the drive gets fried. So this really has nothing to do with Mandrake and everything to do with a poorly designed drive.
I guess LG had a different idea what "flush drive" meant.
I don't see how Gentoo is complying with the license. Applying patches after the fact is a work-around. You still wind-up with a modified version. There is no difference between that and an RPM that starts with the original tarball and applies patches and builds binaries.
Most of the patches in Redhat/Fedora/Mandark/Etc are there to beat a program in to working with the rest of the system. (i.e. making things consistant with the rest of the distribution.) If it cannot be modified to handle those things, few distributions are going to use it on a wide scale.
It is this lack of clarity and amazing bullheadedness that makes distributions ignore it until Dan grows up.
It would be nice if the license got clarified on this app so that it could be shipped with distributions. (Or at least a clarification so that vendors will be more willing to include it.)
It is becoming more and more common to see this sort of filters. The reasons, in my view, are a bit complex, though kind of obvious.
You have companies that are hypersensitive about any sort of lawsuit involving "sexual harasment" or anything resembling it. Since the court cases have been siding on the side of people who are far too sensitive for their own good, there is some cause for it.
Another part of the equasion are control freaks who worry about what people do at work. They want everything filtered to only allow "work related" things. They want to produce and produce and produce with no thought to anything else in your life while you are there. (These are also the same people who tend to take long lunches and have all sorts of porn on their computers.)
Yet another set are the moral control freaks who think that they need to prevent anyone from seeing anything "naughty". (These tend to be rarer, but I have seen places where this has happened.)
All in all, it just creates contempt and dissatisfaction for the company by the employees. Adults do not like being treated like children, for the most part. People who get treated like this are more likely to bail when the opertunity presents itself. Of course, since MBAs are taught to try and turn all of their employees into interchangable parts, they don't quite get a clue how bad it hurts them in the long run. (Or the short run, for that matter.)
But Apple has *not* stuck to the one-button mouse! The rest of the things that the second button is used for on multi-button mouse systems have just shifted to mouse/keyboard combinations. (So instead of being able to use one hand in most circumstances, you have to use two on a Mac.)
Cold Fusion is also a web scripting language, but costs quite a bit.
The last time I compared the two (admitedly a while ago) PHP had many more features and was the much better choice. (Even if they were priced the same, which they are not.)
Even more telling is the amount of books available for each. There are seven Cold Fusion books still in print according to Amazon. (Most the same book for different versions of Cold Fusion.) A search for PHP gets 112 hits. (I am not certain how many are still in print. Much more than seven.)
Comparing Java (a general purpose language) to PHP (a web scripting language) seems to be a bad comparison. Comparing it to.net (a proprietary collection of patent encumbered programs and methods) even more so.
The thing that most people seem to miss about this. The reason for finishing the project is not the love of Dali's work. It is because of the ownership of all of the works that went into the project.
Dali put in the contract that Disney did not own the works used to create Destino until it was made and released.
What are 22 original Salvidor Dali oils worth on todays market?
This may take them a few million to finish the project. They will make much more than that with the garage sale that follows.
As a side note: The cartoon "The Mr. Hell Show" had Disney's picture as just a large copyright symbol. (Mr. Hell is one of the coolest things Showtime has on these days.)
The *BEST* way to understand Debian is to see the movie Uzumaki. This documentry shows the origins of the Debian community and the influence it still has today.
One of the other things they don't want you to know about the EDR. If the wheels leave the ground for any reason, like hitting a bump or going off a cliff, the wheels can spin freely. There is nothing in the sensors that tell if the tires are on the ground. If they are spinning off the ground, they will record a very high speed that has nothing to do with actual forward motion.
I wonder if there was any other evidence that showed that he was going 114mph? I doubt if they felt it was not needed. Computers never make mistakes, do they?
Alan Cox's response was "Well we can all express our deep regret at the inability of the ironically named ISC to work with the internet and society in all the announces."
BTW, Bind 9 does not fix all of these probems and the fixed versions will be out next week.

The Monolith said to leave Europa alone!
is if it stopped in Osaka or just kept on going from the inertia.
The Your Name Here Story did the same thing years ago.
We already have form letters, form movies, and form music. Not surprising we get form commercials as well.
Region codes and CSS encryption were supposed to "protect copyright" in a similar manner.
Anyone who knows where to go can get hardware that ignores these "protections".
I doubt it will be long before people are selling equiptment that ignores the broadcast flag.
And thus goes the eternal battle to watch TV when *I* want to and not when I am *told* to.
I guess LG had a different idea what "flush drive" meant.
MERIT still has their subscription to Forbes.
Emerge is a gentoo-only solution.

they would be dead right now.
Fusion produces lots of hard radiation. A slight detail that the believers tend to gloss over.
If they had discovered fusion in a bottle, they would have been well done a few moments later.
... in Japanese?
They probably caught one person doing it and had to make a big stink about it.
This is pretty bogus if you think about it. Try taking a picture of a magazine page at a news stand and see just how readable it is.
Must be a slow news day in Japan. I guess Godzilla and Gamera are shacking up in Mexico again...

"Sanitary Engineer".
The Bind maintainers were informed about a month ago.
The Unix vendors were not informed until last night.
Yes, Bind 9 is not vulnerable to those problems.
Not everyone can upgrade to Bind 9 however. (Though they may have to.)
The message to the vendors came out at about 11pm.
The announcement to the public happened about nine hours later.
The vendors were blindsided by this.
ISS did not inform any of the Unix vendors.
They are pretty pissed about it.
Alan Cox's response was "Well we can all express our deep regret at the inability of the ironically named ISC to work with the internet and society in all the announces."
BTW, Bind 9 does not fix all of these probems and the fixed versions will be out next week.
