  3. Anyone for asteroid insurance? on Air Bags for Planetary Defense · · Score: 1

    Everything considered, the chances of being killed by an asteroid are considered to be about one in 12,000, compared to the one in 10,000 possibility of being killed in an airline crash, he said.

    hrmmm I wonder what these statistics are based on.. never heard of anyone being killed by an asteroid.

  4. Re:"Firewalls" for fax machines? on Fax-Spammers fax.com Sued For 2.2 Trillion · · Score: 1

    Yup.. you have to have the software to support it. I doubt any stand alone fax machine has support for a SPAM filter. You can filter based on CSID , which isn't to reliable, or ANI info from an ISDN line.

    yea... I think the black ( not blank ) part is actually more of a problem for thermal machines. I heard that doing this exact thing ( creating an endless loop of black paper ) will get the thermal head so hot it will ruin the machine

  6. Re:Fax vs. Email spamming on Firm Pays 6.5 Million for Fax Spamming · · Score: 1

    I'd completely agree FAX SPAM is very costly to everyone. There are two major type of fax machines left, stand alone fax machines and network fax server. On the stand alone side paper is pretty cheap, but fax toner is very expensive. So with a fax server no need for paper and toner, but ya still need phonelines. Fax transmission unfortunatly is still pretty slow 9600 to 14400 on a good day, or if ya get a spiffy new fax machine it can get up to 26400. So each page on a normal tranmission takes about 30 seconds to one minture standard. So this is a huge problem on both sides, stand alone fax machines normally double as voice so during this period ur voice line is being used. On the server side most fax boards today have problems with the way fax farms "harvest" numbers.. they basically use a war dailer kinda thing to find fax tones and log the number. Since they never transmit data, only hang up after they recv. fax tones.. many times this leads to hung lines to the point where you could take out a fax server with it waiting for data. This seems more related to getting spammed on ur Cell phone then email..

    ROFL... I don't think there will be to much of a loss on the "pirates" side.. It's not like they are selling the stuff.. it's peer to peer file SHARING not peer to peer file selling..
