But if the workers work overseas, then they spend their money overseas, so "the common folk" don't get the benefit of their US employment. Everyone has two hands to work, but one mouth to feed as well, so every new person working in the high-tech field increases the employment of everyone who's already here. -russ
JFK?? He nearly started WWIII. Yeah, he deserves recognition like Hitler deserves recognition.
FDR?? He was so incompetent that he created a depression *within* a depression. That takes a rare talent. He ranks up there with Stalin for destroying productivity.
Mao?? He only killed millions.
How about recognizing creative instead of destructive people? -russ
It's stupid to restrict immigration. The only people who emigrate are those who are resourceful enough to do so. We want those kind of people in our country. -russ

NSI to be RBL'ed?

· Score: 1
Let me see, they require an email address, but the contract terms do not require that you actually receive email at that address. Seems to me that if NSI cuts off a domain solely because attempts to contact it by email have failed, NSI is in breach of contract.
And yes, I've gotten the NSI spam, and no, they have no right. -russ
Fine, if you don't like the RBL, don't subscribe to it. The whole point is that it's voluntary. Nobody can "decide what emails I can recieve (sic), and what emails I cannot?" And if you actually examined the RBL instead of expressing your prejudice against it, you'd find that it blocks very few hosts. They're very conservative of who they add. By policy, then only add someone after attempting to contact them by email and telephone. You can verify this for yourself. Try getting a host added to the RBL. -russ
Subscribe to one of the DNS-based blocking services. There's a listing of them at www.crynwr.com/spam/. That particular host isn't on the RBL, but they are on RRSS, and no doubt ORBS. -russ
There are multiple solutions listed on www.qmail.org for a single-uid mailstore which scales to millions of users. I have a customer who needed a system which could handle a million users on a pair of HA Sun Enterprise boxes. I delivered it. -russ
According to my understanding of software law, everyone has the legal right to keep and use code downloaded from Borland. Their copyright still holds, though, so you can't copy it. You're doing the right thing to ask for permission, but even if they don't give it, you can still point people to those URLs. -russ
But no one can escape the maw of this industry, I guess. Malda has become one of the celebrities of open source, and if there's one thing we know for sure about contemporary culture, it is that one of its favorite things to do is to eat its own celebrities alive.
qmail has this nice wildcarding facility, where you can send all mail with a certain prefix to a certain file. So all mail sent to list-XYZ goes to a script which interprets XYZ as a command. Very sweet. -russ
No, it's a completely open list. If that causes problems I'll run a half-moderated list. A person's first posting is automatically moderated, but the second goes through. I already do it with the mgetty, fsb, lego-robotics, and quickcam-drivers mailing lists. Keeps 99% of spam off the list at a fairly low cost.

Yes, buying a $200 plane ticket is resourceful. The vast majority of people in a less-developed country couldn't afford one. Or didn't you know that?
I've done a lot of remote work. There's no substitute for physical presence.

NSI, on the other hand, gets paid by your money. Accepting their advertising at my expense is not part of the deal. I never agreed to it anyway.
