It's been well known among most system administrators that Microsoft will blatantly send out unsolicitated commercial e-mail, irrespective of the communicated wishes of the recipient. This deeply impacts any marketing efforts of Microsoft, and makes what even Bill Gates III and Steve Balmer say from their mouths rumor at best. Microsoft's IP addresses are even well known.
When will Microsoft ditch it's spamlist, and convert to full verfied opt-in, while sending out "We nuked this spammer on our network" for your MSN dialup services? Taking these steps will go a long way towards making Microsoft's reputation belivable.

"At $15 this is still little to pay for a product of this quality. Compare it to the price of windows software or even to a few cups of coffee."
Windows (32-bit versions): between $1 and $200, depending on vendor and shipping, on Ebay.
Coffee: 50 cents/cup, unless buying in bulk.
$15 is too much when I can get 30 cups of coffee (with free cream and sugar) at my communter train station for that much. Or two "twoway" tickets and two cups of coffee from near BWI to DC from the same vendor.

They're finally giving us two items which will allow us to say "yep, ORBS is over-aggressive in relay testing:" (QUOTING SITE)
manual.orbs.org - open relays tested manually and believed to be blocking the tester.
untestable-netblocks.orbs.org - netblocks known to contain open relays and which have been proven to be
blocking the ORBS tester or who have demanded that ORBS not test.
ORBS in the past has been known to be very agressive in testing, to the point of causing a DoS attack. They also are known to do "revenge listings" of those who block ORBS' testing.
MAPS' Relay Spam Stopper is tested by humans only, and also allows you to test your relay yourself. I've done this on my systems at work -- I don't relay.

If it affects me it's more important than anything else in the world, and someone better fix it!
You won't like what we have to do to fix it.
If the TV/Paper/Radio tells me it's so and so's fault I will believe it
The press is saying, in a nutshell, that it's everyone's fault.
I want mroe power produced now GOD DAMN IT
Well buck up, kiddo, you got some hard positions to change, and you better change 'em now.
No nuclear power please
With the state of nuclear power now, especially with France being mostly nuclear anyway, you better think again before using a short-term solution (and oil is very quickly becoming a short-term solution).
No power plant within 500 miles of where I am cause thats my back yard
Either you're richer than Bill Gates to own that much land or you own the state. Since neither is true, we've caught you lying. So shut up and read up before saying such a statement again.
No hydro electric, and why you are at it tear down those stupid damns. The fish can't have sex AND FLOOD SILICON VALLEY?!? ARE YOU NUTS?!? The fish already have sex!
You May NOT under any circumstances burn ANYTHING to produce power... Oh yeah, and deliver my new SUV gasguzzler mobile with electric everything to the new house with 1.2million electric appliances in them BURNER!!!! HIPPOCRITE!!!

I'm similar, too, with my settings. I also allow them to waste their money sending me eBay snail mail.
But then, I haven't gotten a voluntary peep out of them other than the policy changes that happened last year and the bid/sell notices. No snail mail! They have the permission to do so. Maybe it's just that it costs money (or the family just throws it out anyway)...

Hmmm, first the universitys (Univ of MD College Park has a deal with Microsoft for free licences to software for professors, money for more labs to help CS students, and free software (read: Windows 2000 and Visual Studion) for registered CS majors). Now the coffee shops (probably running Win2k).
Now don't get me wrong. I'm running Win2K in a VMware box and I haven't gotten it to crash yet, which means it took Microsoft about five or so years to get Windows close to what Linux is now. They also merged alot of Win98's ease in, which is much better than WinNT 4. Securing a box is probably easier in Win2k (but I haven't tried it yet). Ideal? No, but probably stable enough that 90% of the masses are confortable with it.
Now if they have both wireless and IR connectivity, *THEN* they got 98% of the market covered (including the PalmOS devices).

MAPS and ORBS are audited by numerous system administrators who use the service and also track the service itself; and belive it or not MAPS is actually admin friendly and always is availble via news.admin.nat-abuse.email.
They represent my intrests. Read NANAE, and you'll find that they really do represent all the sysadmins out there. Quote me on that one.
It's case law, actually, and in some states (California, Virgina) it is against codified law.
[sarcasm]I'm just *estatic* that we are *already* being charged/taxed by our ISPs to support this war.[/sarcasm] Guess who funds your ISP's abuse department: your ISP fees. I'll be glad when this is all over that we only have to pay, what, $10 a month at least (as a nice round figure)?
"It's impact on business is nil." Excuse me, you said in another message that you were considerablly impacted by spam. Many companies have told the mainstream press that spam cuts into the profits big-time. Exactis, a spammer, is being threatened with delisting from NASDAQ -- another dot-com who made the wrong turn and is going bust.
"People wasting their workday reading and posting to Slashdot and
other message boards wastes far more bandwidth than spam." Considering that spam, in all it's forms, accounts for a good chunk of traffic, along with program downloads and streaming media that happen *continuously* rather than the short grab, long type/key-in, and short post/put of even this message, taken in all it's entirely, I'd say that I'm not wasting my time. I'm working myself out of a second job, and I like it that way.;)

Aparently, neither jamie nor Peacefire haven't done their research yet. Lets see now...
Media3's one of the top spam producers (were it not for UU.NET) -- see Spamhaus and news.admin.net-abuse.sightings.
Media3 hosts spammers. They may use throwaway dialups to open mail servers, but they host the pages that are the main cause. Once again, news.admin.net-abuse.sightings
Efforts to get this to the attention of *anybody* without a clueless responce has been a waste of a few good phone calls by voice. news.admin.net-abuse.email
So, yes, the RBL listing is nessisary -- just as publishing the identities of child molesters is now nessisary (and quite legal in many court decisions over the years). But it is only a publication -- what you do with the information is up to you. Most ISP's who use it block mail that is comming from them. Above.net (who Vixie left about a year ago if not more, get it straight) chooses to block any connection.
And while I'll prase Peacefire for doing *some* homework (unlike jamie, who fell for alot of the hype and FUD) for contacting MAPS and Above.net, their next step is to contact their upstream to find out why they're not getting a clean, spam-free feed to the Internet. If they don't get an answer, a good solid answer, not just another clueless reply, then walk to another provider.
I'll be glad when there's a national law in which we can sue them for unauthorized commercial usage of mail servers. I betcha CmdrTaco can run Slashdot and AnimeFu on what's left from the lawyers cut...

Last year the professor (who is teaching this year, too) told us that they were moving away from the OSF/1 platform (the "Detective" cluster) and to a Solaris cluster (which is shared with every student). At this time, that cluster (wam.umd.edu) was also accessible by the NT platform over AFS, and on it was... wait for it...

The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com) had published a comparison list between all the competitors (AT&T, Cellular 1, Verizon, Sprint). I don't know if it's still up there or not, but it's worth checking.
However, a few tips:
DO NOT GET SPRINT NOR VERISON'S SERVICE. Sprint is unresponsive with it's Internet service, which drags down everyplace else. Just don't get it. Period. Verison Wireless is still a hotbed since the Bell Alantic/GTE merger and the strike that followed. I don't know if you will be delayed a month to get service to your phone.
Other than that, AT&T and Cellular One are very competitive for individual users. Nextel is geared towards businesses.

This would be great for China, if half (if not all) it's mail servers didn't relay spam back to the US (and therefore be blocked independently by ISP's and by the MAPS RSS). There's been no responce out of those admins who don't have the latest software (comeon! Sendmail 8.10 is free! Why are you running the broken SMI Sendmail?!?).

First of all, I am seeing many times in which Bush does not answer the question. A good example of it is question #1. Is the drug war, in your mind, a success or failure? We don't know. All he says that he'll "fund" it. It's the Prohibition (18th ammendment) once again!!!
Secondly, Bush is doing a good thing by being Opt-In, but it is not Confirmed (or double) opt-in. Alot of Internet users got e-mails they didn't opt-in for. Here's the discussion on it, as done on news.admin.net-abuse.email and reported on n.a.n-a.sightings. To be honest, the Democrats did the same thing, but their list manager (CheetahMail) admitted to it and is changing everything to be confirmed opt-in.
Will we get an intelegent president, or one that will get the White House kicked off the 'net for violating it's upstream's AUP?
