Sorry, early day. Linux client, I always like AUB (assemble usenet binaries) it leaches entire groups at a time. Something to be said for that if you got the space and time to sort.
Really. Spamhaus is a nice service, don't get me wrong. I use them in addition to ~10-12 other methods to block spam (uri, greylisting, bayes, etc) by my math and based on the filters my personal domains have (14 domains and a few hundred email addresses (1200 message/day)) and the filters the company I work (28000 messages/day) for and the company I previously worked for (ISP, 550k msgs/day) are using and statistics generated off of those numbers, spamhaus individually is blocking ~4% of my total spam and ~7.25% for the combination of my previous job and current job. URI blacklists are removing a massively higher percentage of spam these days. Now mind, I'm not dealing with the numbers of some of the large sites on the net, and I don't rely on just one method of spam reduction... I don't think many competent mail admins do these days.
Maybe spamhaus is right... but I really don't think so.
... since the early days of linux, I can honestly say, debian has done somethings that make me cringe and as soon as I read the post here I went "oh here we go again." Then I read the story... cripes, gg mozilla for being a bunch of fucktards. This is why involving lawyers when not necessary is a *bad* thing. Someone's getting paid somewhere for this one and money says its an attorney. The vast majority of developers on both sides are wanting to beat their heads off the desk about now.
That kind of attitude is prevalent in a bad work place with low moral. Google isn't the best work place around but it offers a lot of benefits that help keep moral high.
I imagine that with a small development staff that agile development doesn't work as well as traditional methods, however when you reach a programming staff the size of Google, I don't think that is so much of an issue.
Also, I'd say based on G's products they have in beta and released, it works pretty damn well on a large scale.
Hey, but what does Google know about software development...
I'd notify the police the person has received death threats and ask what they suggest... nah, i wouldn't. I'd get one of those nice name plates and post it by door with my first initial and last name. eg: B.Smith. That way yer not responsible if he gets killed, and people who show up know its not his apartment.
Edit (since you can't edit posts (*grumble* this is the year 2006 slashdot, let people edit their damn posts.)):
I also have a medium olive skin tone, so i'm not real pasty pale or real dark. I'm mostly german with some english/irish mixed in genetically speaking.
I'm almost 30, dark hair and eyes, a bit over weight, fairly non-descript, had a partial beard. They nailed me *every* plane to the cayman islands and all but the one from the cayman->boston on the way back (CAK->CLE->Boston->Caymans-|-Caymans->Boston->CLE- >CAK). My significant other who was traveling with me never got checked and of the people in line with me and who i saw, only one other person got checked on the flight from CLE. It's random my ass.
Maybe it's just me, but since he's the poster of the video I think his credentials are very appropriate to this conversation and perhaps you're feeling inadaquete or just trolling pointlessly.
I so do not miss 300 baud and 110 baud modems especially with the stupid accoustic couplers you had to tinker with for 10m to get a decent connect... i could hunt and peck faster than a 300 baud modem delivered data. 1200 was bad even... 2400 is where things started getting real interesting.
You missed the entire point why it's a pefect analogy. You also didn't read what I wrote, it's an immunity from being able to shoot YOURSELF in the head ever. Not basic immunity... hell for a bullet immunity i'd be tempted to take a 10% chance of dying...
Contracting hiv/aids, at least in western culture, is in almost all cases absolutely preventable... just as preventable as putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger.
If you choose not to protect yourself you've basically choosen to play russian roulette. Personally rather than choose to play russian roulette I choose to protect myself each and everytime.
If it were simply a matter of "sick for a week" as opposed to 10% die like the OP specified, even if I didn't live somewhere it was necessary i'd take the "sick for a week".

Binary News Reaper, with a giganews account ;)
Wow, sorry to hear that, all the stuff I've implemented has been free.
*yawn*

What's the going rate on a four digit sequential under 5000? LOL.
... the level of accuracy of statements made by people in politics.
They're ALL lies.
Something similar happened in the 60s/70s... with the hippies. Now a days, we call them yuppies.
Most of the people I grew up with who were blackhats have moved along in the same way, we call them "wageslaves".
Hacker hasn't had a real meaning in years. Most who consider themselves hackers are at best script kiddies.

All of the google apps are profitable. They all feature the ads :)
If they cut the meetings to 1/week or so they'd probably get their software out on those deadlines :P

Gee, I wonder why this gem was posted as an AC?
Yah that was my opinion too, the best coding I've done has been when I wasn't interrupted for stupid reasons for >5-6 days at a stretch.
3 Meetings a week is highly excessive, although I suspect its much lower than some companies like MS.
Not quite, he got the information right off the guys website not under false pretexts in something presumed to be confidential. Shrug.
I'd notify the police the person has received death threats and ask what they suggest... nah, i wouldn't.

... now he's yanking information that was on his site, design portfolio stuff, etc... silly man, doesn't he know about the wayback machine? :)

Yah, more or a less, now if they cut the price to 9.95$ (one time) and have in game advertising, I'm all for it.
Otherwise, it'll just be a game I won't buy.
EA used to be a pretty good publisher really, now they're worse than all the rest... it's like Sony in the MMO market.

...Job seekers, what do you do when you find yourself trapped in a sophomore study group?
Find a new place to work, who'd want to work for those kinda idiots?
