  4. Re:I want to find these spammers on Bot Nets Behind Recent Spam Surge · · Score: 1

    re:I'm about ready to whitelist the people I know and blackhole everything else.

    Not a bad idea but instead of a full blacklist, do a greylist and Whitelist.
    Any address on the Whitelist gets through your email server @ full speed.
    Any address NOT on the Whitelist gets through your email server @0.01% of full speed (or even slower).
    This will bog down the spammers email server and make your server a place to avoid if they want to hit more suckers/hour.
    I know the SW exists for email servers on Linux (?called Tarpit??) but I don't know about window$.

    Any way, I believe this type of spam deterrence should be implemented at the firewall,
    but I have yet to have seen this implemented on any firewall.

    Don't tax the electricity.
    Tax the wasteful produsts.

    If the TV, Sterio, battery changer or Microwave uses 20W in Standby, add a 5-10% tax.

    My #1 wasteful product I own?
    A 500W halogen work light that puts out more heat that light.
    It costs me $10 to buy and God knows how much to use.

  14. Is it thanks to the rising price of copper? on Verizon To Pump $18B Into FiOS · · Score: 1

    Is it thanks to the rising price of copper that the US will finally get FTTH?
    Will Verizon rip out any easy-removed copper wires and sell it to make $.

    Or is it because you can run more spying equipment via FTTH? ;)

    They are screwed either way:
    If they prevent sharing more than once or twice, kids will finally understand what DRM trully means.

  18. $800 for TV is too much on TiVo Announces High-Def Series3 DVR · · Score: 0

    $800 for TV is too much for a fancy cable that will be obsolete in no time.
    These things used to be leased or provided free. (HDTV is over-rated)
    This whole DRM business seems to be a license to gouge customers.

    I'd rather get MythTV with a way to remote control my digital cable box. (as if that was possible.
