    Outbound email is 143, unless you are using ssl, then it is 993 - usually. Comcast is only concerned about outgoing mail. If you set your smtp port is to something other than the usual port 25 - and you adjust your client as appropriate, you should have no problems. I pissed and moaned to these guys, but in the end I ended up changing the my companies smtp port and showing my users how to adjust their clients at home (those that wanted to use my smtp server). The only other option was to buy the small business connections for each home user. at three times the price, and a slower incoming connection (althoughthe upload was no longer capped), it wasn't worth it.

    Yeah, and African Americans who have no knowledge of the Petterson trial and think he's guilty are bigots as well.

    Get over it, the biggest bigots are the ones pointing at others calling them bigots. It is not a race issue. Just because a person of color is involved does not make it an issue to observers. Noone cares what color you are, if you're a jackass noone will like you, if your actions speak well of you, then most will like you no matter your color. Jackass.

  8. Re:Access in rural areas!? on FCC Plans to Allow Wireless Networking on Unused TV Channels · · Score: 1

    This should be modded up, for tis true. Morons on the internet seem to want to gain knowledge - once you get them there. Jackasses with their pirated windows "boxen" fraggin' away on their broadband connection while their infected machine infects other jackasses is truly the problem. In my experience, there are plenty of intelligent Billy Bobs, but they only know what they are exposed to. The fraggin' jackasses choose to waste hours honing their 1337 fraggin' skills and speading net contaminates. Billy Bobs do only what they can in a rural area, drink beer and try to make their family tree more trunk than branches.

    Well, with your spelling, I guess you don't have to worry about that problem.

    I don't recall ever having met an idiot who had a clue they were stupid. In fact, I remember how much more I thought I knew about 15-20 years ago, I guess you do feel smart when you have no idea what you don't know, which would explain your fallacy of a "high iq disease". Yes, there are arrogant smart people, but they are *usually* smart enough to know the consequences of getting caught and make sure they stay just inside the law.

  15. Re:moderation? on 2ch: Japanese Web Forum As Social Vent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There was a time in the not so distant past when I too enjoyed the guilty pleasure of troll browsing. I loved watching someone get hooked by an elaborate post that was just off enough to alert a discerning browser to the trollness of the post. It was/is my understanding that an effective "troll" is one that creates a response. I thought it was a wonderful way to teach n00b5 to think before they post, kind of knee jerk suppresion training.

    Then came the crap flood "trolls". See, a finely crafted troll is one that causes me to chuckle guiltily about it - something you can appreciate the thought and, well, the art of. When GNAA started their crap flood campaign, I was forced to raise me browse level - for that I am saddened. I really miss the offtopic trolls that made me laugh so much so many times.

    Freedom of speech is one thing, I could handle one requisite GNAA post per story - great, you said your piece. Crapflooding is no longer speaking, it is bothersome and witless.

    Oh, I see how you came up with that. So when a third party Windows only app comes up with a vulnerability, it isn't windows, completely seperate and is not a reflection on the os.

    When a linux only thrid party peice of software comes up with a vulnerabilty, it is grouped with "Linux" and raises the total "Linux" vulnerabilities.

    That's a fair assesment if you're paid well enough.

    psst, your bias is showing

    4 linux kernel vulnerabilities (this includes all kernel vulnerabilities and distro specific stuff)
    3 Microsoft recent vulnerabilities (this is only software listed with "Microsoft" in the title.)

    Hey you're right, until you start counting activeX and asp, exchange and other Microsoft produced software/features. This does not include the vulnerabilities in a 3rd party app that is vulnerable because of a flawed MS implementation. It also ignores the fact that Linux vulnerabilities are actually fixed and not ignored for years. Sorry bro, I still must call bullshit. You're taking things out of context and twisting facts to support your bias. Do you work the Bush administration?

    Not to mention having to beat messenger with a club to kill it. Uggghhh I hate using ie long enough to install firefox - wish windows had apt-get. The updates are the worse. Install service pack, reboot, install open GL, reboot, ie 6 service pack, reboot, install the rest of the critical updates -ugggh. apt and urpmi does it in a single command, and mandrake will prompt you for updates after the install. I love setting my weekly cron for security updates and just leave it be for the most part. The linux install is much easier, just not as pretty and without the background music.
