At my job (in Florida) we maintain an email filter, which isolates in-bound and out-bound emails if they contain certain qualities (either spam-like, or have big attachements, etc).
I wonder if that would mean we are violating that law, since we are clearly intercepting electronic communications?
We have one of those Big Red Buttons in our datacenter (about 7 feet up on the wall, so no one could accident bump into it). About a year after it was installed, an electrician showed up to do something in the ceiling, and accident leaned his ladder up against our exposed Big Red Button.
Needless to say, we now have a cover over our Button. Funny thing is, the electrician who installed the original button is also the guy who leaned his ladder against it.
Which is why a lot of high-end AGP video cards have molex connectors, so they can draw power directly from the power supply, and *not* fry the AGP slot.
Maybe his autism has something to do with that?

And how is your border router (layer 3) going to see the RCPT TO address (layer 7)? Routers just pass packets, they don't examine packets for certain data. I've never seen a firewall that will examine TCP/25 packets for a RCPT TO address, either.
At least in America, we are a society of debt. A friend of mine has all the latest toys, a huge TV, a Dell 2001FP LCD monitor hooked to a really fast PC, and yet makes about what I make.. the difference is I have no credit card debt, while he has recently maxed out his newly-acquired $5000 limit card.
I have seen spyware that did this at least a year ago.

I wrote a little script that parses my mail filter's logs, and anyone who is rejected by a DNSBL but keeps trying gets dropped into my boarder router's ACL. These hit counts were reset yesterday afternoon. Some of the worst ones:
deny tcp 64.156.187.0 0.0.0.255 any eq smtp (2551 matches) deny tcp 206.71.48.0 0.0.15.255 any eq smtp (5914 matches) deny tcp 66.109.16.0 0.0.15.255 any eq smtp (9594 matches)
Our vendor offically recommends we reboot our OpenVMS mainframe (ES47) once a week... when I first started here I laughed at that, until I saw how crappy the code our vendor had running on top of the box (full of memory leaks, processes that would loop and suck up 100% CPU). In three years, our Mainframe has never crashed, never needed to be "just rebooted"; it has worked, no questions asked.
However, I will comment that VMS is *ugly*.
They are comparing the latest nVidia GPU to the 9800XT, which is several months old. When ATI's next-gen chip comes out (two weeks?), only then will we be able to see who holds the GPU Speed crown.
I don't really understand these sites... Doing a search for a common product (such as a 2.8C Intel P4 Retail) shows you can get it about $5 cheaper than from, say, NewEgg.com. Now, NewEgg also gives you free 2nd-day shipping, and you are dealing with a company that you *know* and trust (if not, just check them out at ResellerRatings, they rock). Is the risk worth $5? I say no. I buy all my stuff from NewEgg, and have never looked back.
I keep hearing that the entire Windows 2000 source code is 50 gigs.. I find that really hard to believe. Does anybody know how big the Linux kernel source, X, and KDE or Gnome would be to compare? My linux kernel tree, with object files, is only 226 megs.
What about routers, switches, etc? If it is doing to be the Internet, two switches connected via a crossover cable won't cut it. I bet they need LOTS of routers, running BGP/etc, to simulate things like DDoSes (and their detection and tracing).
Let's see...18 minutes of UHDV @ 3.5 terabytes... that is about 3.3 gigabytes being read every second. Let's hope you've got a really nice FC SAN array to play this from.

My debit card has 'See ID' writen in large, block letters with a sharpie. I get asked for my driver's license about one in every 75 transactions.

Did these guys invent UDP as well?

How long until the spammers simply queue undeliverable email, and try again after a few minutes? I'm suprised they all haven't yet.

Does abody else think the screen shots look an aweful lot like Classic Mac OS?

Yes, it does. It was fixed in 2.6.1-rc2.
That's a heck of a lot of changes for a "stable" kernel.

They have at least 160+30 megabits/second to the regular net, and a pipe of what looks like 450megabit/sec to Internet2,
