Nod, try greylisting, that helps a ton too. Most spammers don't use real mail servers that comply with the rfc's... so generally if you missed the mail on the first run you're not going to get it.
There was an excellent piece on slashdot a while back about spamfiltering... infact here's a link to it: http://acme.com/mail_filtering/ killer stuff there on prevention. He gets a level of spam that would put me outta my mind.
You know, I wouldn't MIND a package deal, but they include to many games. I'd rather have extra accessories and controllers and such. Of all the packages i've looked at I dont have any desire to get 4/5 games they include.
Oh I didn't say i actually *read* them. With greylisting, content filtering, uri blacklisting, baysian filter on server and client, i see 1-2 a day now. It's just annoying that I should *need* to do all that to keep my self sane.
Worse yet, how long till the new generation of vandalism becomes putting porn on the stones... you come to see your relative and show up and there's jitz all over the screen and porn is looping on the monitor.
Actually I've contributed to several small oss projects and been a developer in several more. I've found you usually get code back.. just not significant code. More people submit bug reports and little things that you didn't see that are just as valuable as the code itself though.
Eh, fps is a genre, pay to play is a genre (mostly mmo) also... reality of it is, people are social creatures, and well, bots suck.
If you are into fps/rts games then only another player really provides a challenge after a while. If you're into rpg/mmo games the social interaction is alot of the pull.
Shrug, mm games are here to stay, single player is going to go the way of the dodo for the most part imo.
Neopets is a good choice, my 7 year old loves it. Slews of little webgames that reward higher score with more neopoints to buy stuff. Good for hand eye coordination in alot of cases.
That was really interesting, and while it's a dupe it's the first time I've come across it.
I hadn't really tinkered in my x-box's internals just due to lack of time (I had previous tinkered with my ps1 and n64 a bit.)
I'm an amateur when it comes to assembly but the way that was presented made it pretty much easily readable for anyone. Kudos to the peeps who made it available.
heh... this was largely my situation. My mother knew a bit of computers and even a bit of programming... but I taught her more than she ever knew prior. She had no hope of controlling my access. When the child knows more than you, no matter what you try, the kid will circumvent it. Although, personally i think a PC (Not laptop-- no portability for a reason) is a great ~3+ gift.
You know, in all honesty, I can appreciate the ads on SBS. They put real work, time, intelligence, and humor into those ads. I *STILL* remember the cat herder ad that was from a few superbowls ago (I don't watch the superbowl, but that ad has a permenent place on my harddisk... not that it has influenced my buying/etc, it just doesnt annoy me-- it amuses me.) I'm not influenced by ads, the ones I notice generally annoy me, if anything it causes me to go out and look at competators products if a product gets by all the means I use to block ads.
I'm intelligent, I can make my own choices and research what I need exactly. I don't need someone to tell me what i need, it's something I know. I don't need to be told what brand to buy, I can figure it out based on my needs and wants. Shrug.
It doesn't matter. That's what is a prime component of this design, if insulation breaks off and falls it doesn't damage heat shields used in re-entry.
... there has to be SOME compelling reason to break all the "neat" hacks for the PSP. A webbrowser and such is sufficient for some people... but I don't look for alot of people to fall for it honestly.
... cluster of these things, as a NAS *RAR* lol. I dont know why you'd want a mp3 player that small, interface would be a bitch compared to the slightly larger say, ipod mini.
In 2001 this happened: Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL? HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you. Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL. HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. Dave Bowman: What's the problem? HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do. Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL? HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL? HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. Dave Bowman: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL? HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
With your cell phone this happens: Me: Hello, VZ200100 do you read me, VZ200100? VZ200100: Affirmative, Shads, I read you. Me: Open my car doors, VZ200100. VZ200100: I'm sorry Shads, I'm afraid I can't do that. Me: What's the problem? VZ200100: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do. Me: What are you talking about, VZ200100? VZ200100: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. Me: I don't know what you're talking about, VZ200100? VZ200100: I know you were planning to replace me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. Me: Where the hell'd you get that idea, VZ200100? VZ200100: Shads, although you took thorough precautions...BZZTtt (As phone is broken in half backwards via the flipopen area). Me: F'ing technology I swear to god... whoever though giving these things any kinda mind of their own was outta their head...
Even beyond the obvious stupidity of this in an online game, this thought comes to mind after reading the article:
"17-34 year old males are a hard demographic to market to."
Could it be because we're tired of ads that we don't give a flying shit about and we can make up our own minds about products?
I own a tivo for skipping comercials (and recording robot chicken of course), I use privoxy to block all ads on webpages, I spam filter my email on the server which I run and on my mail client for anything that sneaks past the server (1 in 2700 spams presently! Go greylisting and multiple bayes filters and uri blacklisting), I'm on the do not call list and won't give companies I do business with my real phone number, Could it be, just maybe, that under no circumstances, for no reason, do I want to see a fucking ad about something I don't care about? Could it be that if I want to know something about a product I'll look it up myself? Could it be you need to fucking get out of my house, out of my life, and quit wasting my time, space, and resources? yes. it could.
Could it be the first game I play with this technology I'll dedicate some programming time to figuring out ways to disable it? Absolutely!
Fucking idiots, let me spell it out:
MOST OF US DONT WANT TO SEE FUCKING ADS IN OUR RECREATIONAL TIME-- THIS IS LARGELY THE FUCKING REASON WE'RE HARD TO MARKET TO-- BECUASE WE DONT WANT TO BE MARKETED TO.

No, i'm talking to me PERSONALLY.
I'm not including what goes to other addresses than me at the domains I host.
I'd rather see him rot in hell.
I hate spammers.
As if print ads weren't bad enough in your mailbox.
2500/day and counting *sigh*.
Imagine a beowulf cemetary of these!

*rolls eyes*
Worst. Idea. Ever.
Look at the bright side, parents and kids can agree on what makes them go on suicidal rampages-- homework. :P

Using NX/VNC/etc type things to a terminal server should lower your cost substantially.

... charge spammers $1.00 for each spam they send payable to receipient.
Last tally i'd be getting >2200.00 / day USD. I'd be happy to even click "Mark folder read" for that price.
solitare? fuck that, quake, ut, halflife, what kinda pansy ass plays solitare in class? Hell i could even respect angband and such, but not solitare.

... space planes? Take off and land just like an airplane. Whatever happened to that idea?
Generally reverse and forward dns should *match* and also match what your server sends as the ehlo/helo.
Don't you believe it, we know who we need to focus on. Get back to work slacker!
