do these german tribes have tribal councils? designated tribal leaders? tribal headquarters? is there an official governmental agency to handle german tribes?
the answer to all the above is no for germans, but yes for iraqis.
the iraqis call themselves tribal. if you have a problem with that, you should advise the iraqis that you believe they are in error.
iraq is not unique in this respect. strong tribal influences exist today in SA, the saudi minister of defense emphasized their importance to the kingdom.
they have long been oppressed -- by each other. the current arab value system stems from a basically tribal society being suddenly thrust into the 20th century -- and being empowered with great wealth. thousand-year-old schisms between tribes and religious sects still rage, only now they have access to modern weaponry.
banning entire countries has become a last resort. some countries have a rather cavalier attitude toward abuse, like china. the chinese state operated national networks had an official autoresponder which responded to _all_ abuse complaints with the lie:
"In your SPAM eMail,I can't find the IP or the IP is not by my control.Please give me the correct IP.Thank you."
it's no wonder china is one of the most regularly firewalled networks. besides them being a spam haven, their _official policy_ regarding abuse is to do nothing at all, and lie about it!
so really, in china there really aren't any "good networks". they are _all_ bad.
as for banning korea etc. well, i have absolutely zero reason to receive email from anyone in korea nor do i read korean. so into the bin goes *.kr. how exactly does that hurt any koreans?
spam is so unbelievably cheap to send, that if even ONE PERSON ON THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET buys a spamvertised product, it's still a net profit for spammers. 1 million emails? 100 million? 4 billion? it's all the same to spammers.
they won't stop spamming until the people buying via spam is a big fat ZERO. the less that people read and buy from spam, the more spam they will send in order to maintain status quo.
how would the whole world's internet be fucked up because east european virus authors get arrested?
they are after all, writing viruses on contract to american spammers. if these criminals get arrested, how exactly is that a negative impact on the rest of the internet?
This is ridiculous. Everyone knows SCO invented the spreadsheet, these guys just ripped it off. It's impossible for mere individuals to make spreadsheet software -- it's far too complex an undertaking. You need hundreds of millions of dollars of R&D and that can only be provided by a reputable company like SCO.
Ken Brown of the ADTI will be releasing a ground breaking book soon, which will prove it!
The UI and the joystick suck though, and the lack of gapless playback blows. There's also no on-the-fly playlisting function. And there's a serious bug which keeps the drive spinning at all times in many situations.
Sure it could do many of those in the future with a firmware upgrade, but it does none of those things today. And the firmware upgrade iRiver promised for May has been delayed.:-/
Still, the USB-STORAGE class and OGG support and long battery life are enough for me to keep the unit and wait out the firmware upgrades when they come, if ever...
The only other unit which comes close is the Rio Karma -- and that has serious reliability problems with the hard drive. And it doesnt have USB-STORAGE class.
If your Itanium2 is only getting 2x the performance of the P4, its not exactly cost effective is it? You could build a cluster of ~20 P4s and get ~10x the performance of that Itanium2 for the same price.
... the power of an independent judiciary who isn't afraid to give power-mad SS agents a good anal fist fuck like they deserve (and a nice $300k fine too).
i'm only disappointed that it was the govt that paid the fine, not the SS agents who committed the crime.
Actually during the venera missions, the russians had designed some surface probes which could operate basically indefinitely. They never got sent for various reasons.
I assume they were some very basic design, perhaps no real electronics whatsoever and just using some properties of the venusian environment to generate RF data somehow. But I couldn't find any details.
Advantages: 1) very easy to setup. 2) no forwarding issues as with SPF.
Disadvantages: 1) potentially computationally expensive 2) requires MUA or MTA support to sign messages
The disadvantage #1 is not as big as it sounds, since most spams won't be signed at all -- so you can reject them outright with no computational overhead at all.
And I suspect spam/virii scanning is far more computationally heavy than key verification.
china could do well with planetary probes. you get a lot of bang for the buck -- look at what the recent NASA mars probes accomplished.
something like a couple chinese venusian landers (rovers?) would be easily within the chinese monetary and technological budget, and would put them on the map. venusian exploration has been extremely sparse, despite how easy it is to get there compared to mars.
or how about a mercurian orbiter/lander? nobody's been there yet.
according to several people who have worked with the individuals named in the files, they say the sources are genuine based on their familiarity with that individual's coding style and their knowledge of cisco APIs.

3/4 of the iraqi population identify themselves with a tribe.

pakistan today is rife with tribal problems.
If you are offended by the facts, that's your problem.

it's a dangerous combination.

answer: it doesn't.
2) is not a solution. never will be, either.

a growing percentage is korean, chinese, spanish or russian. do you really think they're targeting americans?
at this rate, microsoft is going to have a fully 64bit application suite before linux. :-(
...I buy used DLT-IV tapes off ebay and found a lot of uhm, "interesting" stuff on some of them.
About 1 out of 10 tapes I buy has stuff like source code for commercial closed source applications, confidential customer data, etc.
It's scary how lax people are with this shit.

...but not for user interfaces in general.
it's a braindamaged design, like apple's non-proportional sliders in macos (took them ~12 years to fix that!)
Itanium2 @ 1.5ghz : ~5500
P4 @ 3.0ghz : ~$200
If your Itanium2 is only getting 2x the performance of the P4, its not exactly cost effective is it? You could build a cluster of ~20 P4s and get ~10x the performance of that Itanium2 for the same price.
in that case i suggest carrying around a loaded football fan with you at all times.
No Athlon SMP huh?

Righto.
the banks are in on the scam too.
last time I checked you could have multiple records, you arent limited to a single TXT.
you can do something like
bla IN TXT "1 blablablablabla"
bla IN TXT "2 blablablablabla"
bla IN TXT "3 blablablablabla"
not perfect, but it is one solution.

I assume they were some very basic design, perhaps no real electronics whatsoever and just using some properties of the venusian environment to generate RF data somehow. But I couldn't find any details.
By then the Athlons were out. The profit margins on Athlons were far better, so why bother pumping money into the older designs?

speaking as someone who works at an ISP, you have no fucking clue what you're spewing.
the big boys do use cisco. unless you don't count qwest, worldcom/uunet, sprint, at&t, etc. as "big boys".
juniper marketshare is slowly growing, but the majority of IXP traffic is still carried through cisco (switches, routers).
