  1. Re:Varies by state and time on New York State Releases Sex Offender Facebook App · · Score: 1

    I wonder how common forced/coerced incest is among 2-child families where the male is 2-10 years older than the female

    You know, women can commit sexual assault too... Assuming a sexual aggressor is always male is the same kind of reasoning as the parents who assume a stranger is more likely to kidnap their child. Our society seems to hold less animosity towards female-on-male sexual abuse, but it still happens.

    If only that would happen to me.

  4. Re:Not much to do on Ask Slashdot: Is There a War Against Small Mail Servers? · · Score: 1

    Mail and DNS is easy, just add backup MX records with lower priority. For Web, not so much.

    The real solution is getting your own AS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet) ) and PI range from your RIR. It costs about $1700 initially with $100 a year for maintenance. This will allow you to do real seamless failover.

    Did you even Read the Summary????

    He is trying to SEND email, he doesn't mention any difficulties in receiving it.
    Having their own AS won't solve things regardless of whether it is coming or going, unless they have their own (at least) /24 and they are multihomed.

    The only real options here are the following.
    a. Use the ISP's mail server as a smart host and send all email through their server.
    b. Get the ISP to issue you with a real PTR record that isn't just some default record from the ISP.
    c. Go to another ISP.
    d. Get a VPS and send all your email through it.

    During the time of using unlimited Dialup, my Record for 56K Dialup was over 360 hours continuously (15~ days). Would only happen once every couple of months, when the script that the ISP used to run that would kill the user that had been on the longest, stopped working for several days.

    Its probably because of all the spyware, keyloggers, trojans, that found their way onto it.
    They probably also installed norton antivirus to be on the safe side.

    The combination of all/any of those peices of software, generally slow any windows machine (regardless of PC power) to a crawl.

    hmmm .....
    Looking through the refeenced page I have just one thing to say... well 2....

    Border manager (a Novell product)
    They use URL redirection as part of their proxy product. I bet that alone predates this patent.

    Squid (the proxy server) which can do the same sort of thing, with some trickery.

    I been using squid to do the same sort of thing at a school for about 3-4 years now.

  12. Re:YFI list on Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters · · Score: 1

    hmm so this means if a bounce message is generated they don't get a message back. Sorry but thats their tuff luck. As I said I know of 2 rejections because of no A or MX record and they now send with correct envelope sender.

    This is a major part of the problem of spam.
    Misconfigured servers.

    btw if the domain doesn't have a MX record, but do have an A record then the MTA I use will accept it.

  13. Re:YFI list on Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters · · Score: 2, Interesting

    another goodone is if the domain from the envelope sender doesn't have a MX record. bam guarenteed spam. The other one is to verify the sender not just the domain. This kills all those spams from lkiqprejbn@yahoo.com which are obviously bulldust.

    That alone kills off about 70% (IMO) of the spam that comes through servers that I administer, and as far as I know, only 2 emails(over the last 4 years or so) that wern't ment to be rejected were rejected because they had invalid sender envelopes.

  14. ISP in Rural Australia on On Starting a Successful ISP? · · Score: 1

    As a ex-Administrator for a rural Oz ISP I thought I might share some input.

    Basically u'll need equipment, lets say a portmaster (which will provide 56K and ISDN access) unpopulated about $6,000 modems (set of 10 per card) about $3000 (those prices were second hand from memory though go check it out)a couple of servers for mail DNS web etc, cost depending on what u get. plus switches cables etc etc u can use the portmaster to dial into ur provider.

    Then on top of that there are the lines.
    based on Telstra prices 10 lines installed about $1500. plus about $18 per month per line.
    then ISDN to Data provider (ISDN is charged per the minute regardless of local or otherwise)

    U prob won't be able to get broadband except for sat which is prob a good idea as it is cheaper than isdn for data and will provide more bandwidth for hosting via the isdn. it also means u may be able to provide them with sat access :))
    sat dish cost depends on where u are and the path of the sat. decoder price I have no idea, though u could lease it from ur data provider.

    Then on top of that there is the cost of providing support.

    I could give u lots more info if you email me
