Such a list becomes pretty useless for any poor sucker (myself included) who lives in a country that is considering legislation to make hardware and software that goes not comply with DRM-ish concepts illegal.
You (ISPs) just need to modify your IP allocation policies such that you put all known spammers in the "ghetto" address range. Said range gets blocked by RBL, none of your more legitamate users notice. The spammers can't complain because they are breaking your AUP (you have a well-defined AUP, don't you?).
As a long time C coder, I'm normally the last one to come to the aid of Java, but there are some things you should understand before making statements like that.
First, Java is a language. A language cannot be fast or slow. However, the implementation of the Java interpreter can be described as fast or slow.
Secondly, just because the memory heavy, CPU intensive Sun Java VM that you load on your linux or windows or solaris box is slow, doesn't mean that all other implementations are slow.
Thirdly, consider that a Java program that is written poorly will perform poorly. This is the case with any language. If you haven't carefully audited the source code to make sure it is making optimal use of your CPU's time, you can't say for sure that the program isn't at fault.
I too am interested in any recent knowledge about this. IIRC Cisco went after Alcatel over their use of VRRP.
It's a shame, because the protocol isn't that bad. (though, certain implementations and their tendency to conduct VRRP wars may be;)
The whole thing made me look for an alternative. I ended up investigating the Linux-HA project. They didn't really have support for failing over when the box became unreachable from the network (this is a desired behavior with certain shared storage apps and such) so I concocted a plugin called ipfail. All of that has since been included in the recent releases of heartbeat. It's sort of a second-best solution as I think VRRP is really the answer here, but hopefully others will be able to benefit from it.
Now if you'll please turn your attention to the last post, you'll see an example of a strawman argument. Observe: Surely you cannot possibly be so arrogant as to imply that you have never erred in a similar manner.
As you can see, the subject subtly changed the focus of the argument from his own actions to whether someone could possibly be infallible. Naturally, this is an easy argument for anyone to prove, thus the straw man has been setup. This is a trick used, often inadvertently, by arguers. Of course, the original issue was not whether I have ever made an error, and the argument proves nothing.
I guess this is the part where you're "taking it well" while at the same time attempting to introduce some character assassination.
Unfortunately for you, you are a member of the group that you detailed. Consider your original post. I suppose the thick sarcasm was meant to be informative, rather than insulting. Thought you got them good, didn't you?
Lesson to learn might be that you ought not attack when you haven't bothered to do your homework. Oh yeah I forgot, the original post was in the past. That was hard to tell from the nature of the Slashback article. Oh and I think Slashdot hasn't a search capability.
The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.
Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.
Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more mellifluously off the tongue, and Daylight Savings Time is also in common usage, and can be found in dictionaries.
Part of the confusion is because the phrase Daylight Saving Time is inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, but it is not as politically desirable. In fact, scientifically misguided politicians sometimes misunderstand. In 1995, the British Time (Extra Daylight) Bill was introduced by John Butterfill, attempting the impossible -- to legislate extra daylight. The bill did not pass.
Of course, can you actually be sure that the software was removed? That Add/Remove button only follows the instructions of the program that was installed, right?...which could easily be told not to remove anything at all.
And there have been times in the past where the stupid thing will do nothing at all because the.INF or whatever dumb file wasn't there anymore and so it didn't know how to uninstall the program.
The real answer is to just use obscure OS's that the Cable Guy surely has no experience with, much less software for.
I think we're in violent agreement. I agree that you shouldn't punish the technology either, which is why I was perturbed by the comment that P2P networks necessarily traffic illegal software. It was probably a mistake on his part, but I don't think those ideas should be fostered at any rate.
I never said that FTP servers necessarily traffic illegal software. He said "Both networks" so I had to assume he meant a "warez network".
And yes, FTP servers are able to transmit free software but I was trying to live with his abstract "warez network" terminology. Just like there can be warez on a P2P network. But I don't think you can set up a bunch of servers, no matter what the technology, and call it a "warez network", where warez means illegal software as is relevant to the discussion, and then distribute free software. At the least, you wouldn't be able to set one up WITHOUT warez.
Both networks utilize the internet as a means to illegally distribute copyrighted works.
It is NOT a prerequisite of a P2P network to exchange illegally copyrighted works. I can have a P2P network that exchanges legal copies of files. I cannot have a warez network that distributed legal copies of files, unless you redefine what we know warez to mean.
Not to mention the fact that slashdot JUST had a story about a documentary director being punched by Aldrin for setting him up for the conspiracy theorist line of questioning.
At least somebody remembered it. Maybe it was too subtle?

And yet, Jon Johansen is acquitted.
Seems to me that hacking your own property should be legal.
Cool.

took a couple times to load, so just in case the server is flaking out...
You've obviously never been to the securityfocus site.
Don't tell me to get another mail client - Netscape has done the job for me so far.
How about, "Report the bug to Netscape, not Slashdot".

Bumbklaat.
A pity you didn't read the original article.
It would have saved you from looking stupid, since it states that they will be scratching each CD so they can't be used again.
Consult the article listed in the original post, guy.
The reason it's in pounds is more than likely due to the fact that the site that ran the article is a british site.
£184 million, not $184 million.
haha, hey bboy. I was waiting for you to chime in and plug your DNS server ;)
/me is kvn from #C.
You didn't want files in superfluous directories, so you installed djbdns?
/command, /packages, anyone?
So don't count on it to build a day-to-day production system, yet.
How about, don't run quake on a production system.

Lots of information on using shared storage with a bias toward setting up highly available clusters.
Actually it's Daylight Saving time.

Um... What exactly is a 'warez network'?
It was his language, sort of.

Wait I don't get it.
It's impossible to return to the moon if we've never been there in the first place; every documentary director knows that.
