If I lived there and was shopping for an ISP I would have only a few choices. One is a joint venture with Telstra which I know is evil having delt with them. The other is the Holy Roman Catholic Church which after a number of years of being abused by nuns in schools I also know is evil [sound effect of the Sisters's metal wacking stick cracking across my nuckles ala Blues Brothers]
Someone was tring to find their way around a pc that I set up with mandrake 7.1. They guy was a windows user and he had the question "how do I use this without the mouse?" Damn good question. Too bad the answer seems to be "no way in hell!"
When is kde/gnome going to fix this major little problem.
Right now it looks like they are aiming at right NZ (read the Age -- see that 2000km east bit). Now I know the Kiwis and Russia have had problems in the past but I can't understand why Russia is resorting to killing sheep from space. There just isn't any call for it. Talk about being protective of the wool industry.
Besides if it accidently hits Oz, who will know about it? I think all the TV cameras have gone home after the Olympics.
What the rbl rule sets do is simply replace the domain name with a target that is later returned as an error.
The change you will need to make is on line 24 of cf/feature/ddnsbl.m4. Somehow you are going to
have to figure out to to get a header added when a condition happens and then return $: OK. I think I would try to set some variable and then create a "H" line with something like H?Var?X-spam: $Var.
Someone is going to have to start protesting. There is going to be a meeting of the standards group in Feb and that needs to have protesters present. People outside the front doors of Seagate and every IBM plant/office in the world will get a message delivered. The news media doesn't like geeks but when it comes to some tecnical issues they will listen.
Find a tech reporter for a stock company. This will kill the stock price of any company that tries it and it has to be well know beforehand. Any CEO that allows this to go through and watches their stock drop is liable to the shareholders. That may be a good thing. Think about all the big IBM stockholders suing the MPAA (who has to be behind this somehow).
I've wondered if the big mean dinos like T Rex didn't starve by eating everything else. Most "man eaters" like tigers, crocks and sharks only eat in very select situations. Many agressive sharks will not eat healty fish but can consume massive amounts of injured fish. Most reptiles are quite selective of how they feed. I wonder if T Rex didn't have that, would it simply eat until it had removed all food sources? It was large enough that it could go weeks or months without food if it could act like a modern crock.
I expect that Mars is the main goal of their current program. Why go to the moon? Its been done and if you fail there, it looks bad. If you fail going to mars, its a PR write off or a chance for a political spin for more political power.
Once its been done, you've got to do one better. Russia gave on up the moon but it had been done. The next stage is mars and the US can't pull it off right now. China can't either but that won't stop them from tring. They have to prove to the world that they are a new super power.
Myths? Like most of what is "known" about gravity? Sure it can be measured buts there is lots of strange things going on and the current level of science seems to be lacking something major. Hopefuly gravity probe B will help solve some of those issues. Pluto has an advantage that its magnetic field isn't strong so it might be the best place to study gravity.
Maybe someone should point out that this little scheme will help the pr0n industry which currenlty has piracy rates way higer than the record industry. Anyone want to call Rev Farwall or the head of the moral majority?
How about using the legal system aginst anyone that makes these drives. Lets say Segate make a drive with these "features" so you can't make backups. Right now Seagate's liability is limited because they tell you to make backups. If you can't do that because of their new feature, then they waive their imunity to liability. Seagate with full liability for their product is a dead company.
Here in Australia you can go buy things like shelves and they will be some multiple of 30cm. The real problem is if you go buy two different 60cm shelves, they won't be the same length. At least in the US when you buy a 2 foot shelf its the same length as other 2 foot shelves.
The windows in my house are exactly 1 foot by 3 feet. Sure the glass shop can deal with metric but if I give them a measurement in old english units they know its right because the entire building industry is based on the foot. A ceiling tile isn't eactly 2x4 feet because its a bit smaller so it can go in a 2x4 grid. In the US they are called 4 foot tiles, in Australia they are 120cm long (unless you measure them). For Australia to export building products to the US, they have to be standard US sizes which happen to be based on building thigns to old english sizes.
The metric system has lots going for it but its not good for human measurements. Its odd to hear Aussie be able to tell how tall someone is in feet and inches and not know how many inches are in a foot.
For what its worth SI seems to be on the way out. It looks like there is push to drop all the compound units and simply replace them with grams, seconds, meters so that things like 1 bar becomes 1 Kg/m*s^2.
There is also some talk about what to do with the leap seconds that keep showing up. It looks like it has gotten to the point were 3 or 4 will be added this year or next and that starts to cause problems. One proposed solution is just to make a second a small bit longer.
swatch stupid time (aka Internet beat) is based on local time in switzerland. Nothing like figuring out what time it is in a different time zone and guessing what happens with their daylight savings time.
Swatch could have pulled this off but they were too damn arrogant to do it in a way that others would have accepted like using midnight utc.
You end up with two problems. If the hour hand points to 8, is it 0800 or 2000? Not so good with the 12 hr clocks that seem to be so common.
The other problem is wrap. With this system, lots of people will get nailed by the midnight wrap problem. What what day is midnight? Now it won't matter since most people in a region are sleeping then. Make it so most of the worlds population is awake on a day change and watch out for the resulting mess.
The waste problem is artifical and created by the likes of greenpeace. What has happened is that no waste can be reprocessed so now all of has to be stored. Most waste is a combination of both long term radioactive and short term radioactive parts. Reporcessing takes the long term stuff and turns it back into fuel but thanks to greenpeace, thats illegal in the US. Currently you can't do anything with existing waste but store it. You can't even do research on it. All the "waste" that is used in research is special made stuff in reactors like the one at University of Missouri in Columbia.
Some of the current plants in the world are unsafe. Too bad research into safe plants is basicly dead. There are a few second generation plant ideas floating around but we should be upto 4th gen plants. I wonder how may more people are going to have their lives ruined because of the sorry state of the art.
Chances are you use Paul Vix's root name server about 1/5 the time you use a domain name. How about bind? Sure he is abusing his power on a number of major routers but hes not getting any complaints from me. If there is a "god of the net" Paul is it.
One common sense rule that most people in the real world know is "dont fuck with the guy with the big stick". Paul has a big stick and I think he needs to LART more bozos.
Fair use for trademarks lets me say things like "KFC's food sucks" and it lets my mechanic say he works on "Ford Cars". It does not let me open a "McDonalds Hamburger Stand" even if my name happens to be McDonalds. It would appear that Sun's legal goons don't quite understand this concept and are trying to strong arm Sun Ripend Kernels which sells used sun equipment in Australia. If any of you deal wil large amounts of sun hardware, call up your sales droid and ask them wtf is going on.
If the junk is a place holder, then it may work the same as the things like counters. The way DNA work requires more state info to be keep than current theorys explan.
Jails tend to be real bad places to be for crimes involving children. If this guy ends up in a medium security state prison and word gets out that he was sending porno to kids then he won't be serving more than a few months.
In the end he might end up being a real good example for other spamers.
There is a third option. Kick them out of the comunity. This is how it used to work. They used to kick criminals out of the towns. Now that there is no new places to go jails are used.

If I lived there and was shopping for an ISP I would have only a few choices. One is a joint venture with Telstra which I know is evil having delt with them.

Sendmail has a bad habit if not being able to scan the message body so you have to use an external filter.
I've got a patch to fix this for 8.11.1 that uses the built in regex map to allow sendmail to look for a regex in the body of the message.

Do you know how much it would cost?
