    ...unplugged her headphone jack from her iPod, and motioned for him to plug his in.

    This reads like a line from some porn story.

    Good bye $$$.

    Nice backpeddle, kook.

  7. Re:Coincidence? on Spam Slows Australian Net Traffic · · Score: 1

    Your first link has nothing to do w/ UUnet. And the second two only talk of suspected pink contracts. Let's see some proof, not the alegation of an admitted spammer.

  8. Re:Coincidence? on Spam Slows Australian Net Traffic · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone has shown that UUnet has had a pink contract with any customers. If you have proof, you'd be the first. Link to this proof?

  9. Re:Why does he think it's spammers? on DoS Assaults Underway Against Spam Blocklists · · Score: 1

    Osirus couldn't even get their own provider to trace the attack; they ended up calling random Teir1 providers and tried to make them trace the attack. I guess Joe learned that when you go out of your way to shit on every big provider, they do not lend a helping hand when you need it.

  10. Re:I'm going to go down for this. on IBM Moving Developer Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    Exactly how much do you think IBM is going to be paying these guys? They are going to amke a couple of hundred a month. You talk as if IBM is going to pay the curries what an American would make. The curries won't be buying a new IMB desktop with that money either. I have a hard time beleiving that anyone would be so dense as to think that a company *isn't* doing this for greed. In a nutshell, don't piss in my face then try to tell me it is raining.

    Do these pants make my ass look big?

    No, the fat in your ass makes it look big. ;) (C'mon, hasn't every guy wanted to say that to his GF when she asks that question?)

    Actually it is a means by which anyone can become anyone else, with the correct password.

    Hmmm... Maybe, but, I wouldn't want my archive to smell like a trash heap.

    Well, you may not want to cheer too loudly against MS, if they lose any OSS programmer/project will lose too.

    Except MS has the same wording in their license.

  18. Re:Going after header forgers? on Virginia Anti-Spam Law; FTC Forum on Spam · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Go after the site advertised in the spam. The spammer (or who paid the spammer) has to get replies about their ads somehow.

  19. Very True on Verizon Set Back Again in DMCA Subpoena Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    I get subpoenas about copyright cases all the time, but, only 1-2 a day. It isn't any trouble to look up the logs and send it off. What ISPs are worried about is RIAA/MPAA dropping thousands of requests a week on them. The manhours used to get all that info is what is going to cost. The equipment is already there.

  20. Re:My spam research on CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam · · Score: 1

    We get them when someone doesn't get the response they want. I understand why people do it, but you can't run an abuse department based of which single complaintant bitches in the greatest volume. I can get more done by ignoring the .001% of people who splatter cast complaints. Everyone wants to think that their problem is always the greatest concern, but it isn't. Working in an abuse department is like working in a trauma ward. You have to triage.

  21. Re:My spam research on CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam · · Score: 1

    The point I am trying to stress is that you are making your point to /dev/nul. Your splattercast is just another spam in their inbox to the higher-ups you are spamming. Do you really thing they are going to jump out of their chair and run down to the abuse department and start killing spammers? They are more likely to A) Ignore your emails or B) have your emails dropped on the server. That is pretty standard for when we get splatter complaints here.

  22. Re:My spam research on CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam · · Score: 1

    Yeah. The effect is getting your complaints bit-bucketed. The uppers your are irritating, most likely, have NOTHING to do with the abuse department. I know it must feel good to fire of a big splattercast, but it is not helping your cause. If anything, it makes those iritated uppers think that all anti-spammers are kooks and should be ignored.

  23. Re:My spam research on CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yahoo will just discard your email, if you splatter cast complaints to them. Your complaint won't get magicly escalated, it will just get ignored. You are not helping, you are just making it worse.

  24. Re:and I'm glad we still have H1B's galore on U.S. Jobs Jumping Ship · · Score: 1

    Except H1Bs are for filling spots that can't be filled by the available US workforce. VALinux hired a Web Application Designer via the H1B visa. Are you trying to suggest that they couldn't find a single American to fill that spot? If people want to immigrate here and are able to find jobs, great. But, they should go thru the process like everyone else.
