It's an interesting idea, except that it doesn't prevent joejobs (a spammer can still send mail purporting to come from a real address). It will work only against fake address of the 29853@xzywov.com style.
Just so that you know, "Big brother" has been a huge hit in several european countries, including Spain, the UK and Sweden. And the biggest TV hit in Spain in the last few years has been "Operacion Triunfo" (think "American idol" + "Big brother").
Don't feel bad. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.
The way you tell it, you'd think Israel was a giant concentration camp and the Israelis were forced to live there at gunpoint.
Yeah, because of course, they could have stayed instead in their peaceful homes in Berlin, Bremen, Munich or Hamburg, where nobody would have threatened them and nobody would have tried to kill them.
Does it justify it? Well, we'll never know, will we? If those who started the wars of 1967 and 1973 hadn't done so, maybe Israel would never have had the chance to commit those atrocities you talk about. Maybe they wouldn't have the chance to build that wall (which, BTW, is opposed by many in the religious right in Israel), because they wouldn't be in possesion of the land in question. But gosh, we'll never know now, will we? After all, why bother researching who were the first ones to attack, when you can easily blame it all on the jews?
No, that's not the question I am asking. What I'm asking is: why did all those jews who live in Israel felt the need to move to the Middle East and "steal the land" of the palestinians, when they could have stayed peacefully in their homes in Dusseldorf, Munich or Berlin?
I am asking this because there are many (the own palestinians among them) who complain not only about Israel expanding "beyond their borders", but about its mere existence at all. According to them, Israel and those who live in it simply have no business staying in the Middle East. Which begs the question, of course, of what to do then with all the jews who live there...
Do you know that they're building a wall around "their" country - which just happens to be including a lot of that illegally occupied territory?
And how did they come in posession of that "ilegally occupied" territory? Through the wars in 1967 and 1973, right? And who started those wars? Oops...
Interesting. Since you are so versed in history, you might want to explain too: if the state of Israel is an invader, why did the people who form it felt the need to "invade" the Middle East? Where did they come from in the first place?
Second, capitalist countries pollute far more than even your so-called "socialist" countries. Look at say CO2 emission from USSR vs USA over the last 50 years. Look at oil consumption. And so on.
Really? Check what happened when the Berlin Wall fell. The first West Germans who got into East Germany factories were appalled at the industrial equipment that they were using; apparently, it was several decades obsolete, and thus it lacked any kind of environmental concern and polluted much more that their western counterparts.
For another example, let's check the gas emission of a 1988 Trabant compared to an 1988 VW, okay? Let's see which one pollutes more.
In addition, the reason there are no environmental groups in your so-called "socialist" countries is because of totalitarianism--it has nothing to do with "socialism"
And of course, the triumph of socialism in all those eastern european countries was due entirely to pacific means; totalitarian repression had nothing to do with it...
Bayesian filtering has been very successful and has none of the negative affects of the aggressive blacklisting.

As for the rest of your comment, it's so outstandingly stupid that I won't even bother to comment. And now that I think of it, this is the second anonymous comment that I've seen in this thread slandering RBLs for no reason. What, do spammers read Slashdot too?
At my ISP, around 50%-60% (if not more) of the spam we receive comes from DSL/cable IP addresses (attbi.com, Comcast, Verizon...). I don't know if they are Windows open proxies, or if spammers just order several DSL lines and use them, but it's a disaster.
I fully support what AOL has done, and I'd actually do the same if I had the time to find a RBL that has DSL/cable IPs listed. Want to send mail through your broadband connection? Just use your provider's upstream SMTP server. Don't have one? Bitch to your provider. Just don't tell me that I should eat the spam so that you can play with your copy of Postfix in your basement Linux box.
A trojan for DRM

Legacy-Free PCs

· Score: 5, Insightful
Careful with this, folks.
During the last months, whenever news about Palladium or any other DRM system that required hardware support appeared, a common answer was: "so what? As long as we have our legacy motherboards, HDs, etc., we'll be fine. They can't force us to buy new DRM-enabled hardware".
Well, now they can.
Imagine that Microsoft decides that their next version of Windows requires hardware support from this new EFI standard that Intel is pushing. And imagine that EFI carries with it a DRM system.
And what if you are using Linux? Oh yes, it will certainly boot in a new EFI PC. As long as the developers sign a NDA.
Basically, the entertainment industry has an interest in seeing all the PCs obsolete and replaced with DRM-enabled hardware, and this "revolution" is their golden chance. Not that replacing obsolete technology isn't a bad thing, but I'd be very wary of anything "they" try to sell us under the cover of being "innovative, cheaper, efficient, modern"... (have you read the first page of the article? It sounds like a hype piece from Intel itself).
After reading the majority of the comments in this story, I seriously doubt it. Unless Slashdot is in a much worse shape than what I thought. Which, hey...
Gregory Benford has been around since at least the early 80s. "Timescape", his most famous novel, is from 1980.
I'll second the recommendation about Greg Egan, though. The guy is wicked cool. You can read some of his short stories in his web page (don't have the link handy, just google).
Why are you talking about BSD the whole time?
As far as I know, most(?) of the rendering farms they've been using in Hollywood lately have been running
Linux.
Because it was a troll. Come on, people, can't you do a better job at smelling them?
I consider myself fairly well rounded in music, from the popular to the obscure, and even a little bit on the world music front.

Low ID represent!!

You mean the browser tabs that were originally invented by a propietary softwate company named Opera?
Ah, Gnulix fanboys and their selective knowledge of history...

Exactly. Go read "Quicksilver" for your fix of european XVII century history.
They are talking about "Windows Messenger", which has nothing to do with web browsers.

...about 4 years ago, when so many of these same web developers were saying "Netscape sucks!!! Everybody should use IE!!!"
Well, you got what you asked for. What are you whining about?

So, how was this about "ignoring the problem" again?
We are legally bound NOT TO report anything even if discovered on a routine call, not our job.
And how does the above conflict with the laws stating that, if you see child porn and don't report it, you're an accesory to the fact?
