I don't see any reason why it's "OK" that we're outsourcing #3. It's elitist to argue that we're outsourcing only the "lower caliber" jobs. Not everyone can be, wants to be, or is competent enough to be "the best".
Because it's not "wrong" to keep people from working just because they live in another country?
That's really the crux of the matter. I pretty much see all these anti-outsourcing types as being basically selfish little whiners.
"waaah waaah. Bobish got the job just because he's as good as I am but work for less. Waaah waah".
If you do all that stuff, you will not be removed from the list unless the people who run the list KNOW you've done it. If you can't contact them, how will they know? They won't. You'll still be on the list.
And sometimes you end up in situations where you just have a similar IP number even though you have no actual relationship.
It seems to me that a better idea for said 'legitimate' sysadmin would be to DDOS all the spam sites, driving *their* bandwidth cost through the roof. But who says angry people are rational...
What are you talking about? How would that in any way be 'rational'? There is no way that a simple DDoS could shut down all spammers, they appear and disappear. And not only that, such a DDoS would need to be 100% effective against all spammers everywhere and it would take months, if not years for all these blackhole listers to realize that spam was gone, and shut down. (yeh right)
It's doubtfully you'd even be able to hit very many. They move all over the place, and there are tons of them.
On the other hand, DDoSing SPEWs effectively would immediately solve your problems. Seems pretty rational to me...
Very likely, this person is trying to send email to people who are his customers, or his friends, or whatever. And they arn't able to get it because someone with power over their connection is censoring their incomming mail. If the only people using these filters were the spam nazi's themselves, it wouldn't be an issue. But they are making decisions for lots of unsuspecting people who probably care more about getting mail from people they know then punishing people for doing bussness with people who do bussness with people who once ran an open relay.
Like the way curfew works in The west bank and gaza. If there's a terror attack, people in certan cities are put under '24 hour curfew'. Often times hundreds of thousands of people just to get at a few.
Uhhhh...yes...and? Is there something immoral about administering the ISP you are responsible for in the manner you see fit? It's my business, I can do as I damn please. If I want to filter out every website except my own, that is my right. My customers vote with their business, they do not get a direct say in how I run my outfit. Every business owner understands this concept when it is put into their terms, yet spammers seem to be very against this right when it comes to ISP owners. Gee, wonder why.
Well, if I had a service contract with you for IP service, I would definitely sue. People pay for access to the 'net. Not the subset of the net you find personaly non-repugnant.
But it gets ridiculous when people in charge of large ISPs start blocking whole countries or other large blocks of the net from their customers because they 'just don't like' those sections.
There was an article on salon a while ago about a woman who's email was basically made worthless because a lot of the people she was working with had been blocked by her ISP (roadrunner)
Lots of people do get screwed over by this. And a lot of people don't run their own mailservers.
I'm actually a little surprised they managed to pull this off. Good for them:P
And don't give me this "I should be able to decided who I receive mail from". You should, but that's not what this is about. This is about power-tripping admins deciding to prevent people under their power from receiving mail that could be more effectively filtered by things like Bayesian filters and the like.
DeBeers dosn't have a total monopoly on diamonds now, and there is no reason that any democratic government would give them total control.
What will probably happen is that lab-grown diamonds will still be very scarce. The people making them are being very secretive about their processes and even their identities. They could sell their diamonds for $6 or $6,000, what do you think they'll do?
Maybe in 10 years or so the processes will be widespread enough to kill the market.
Windows does NOT operate on a everyone is a root notion unless you're running 3.1-ME version. Mac OS Classic does however, but manages to let people learn where they can muck around and still maintain itself as a secure OS because of the lack of shell.
Another example, a little more relevant to this case: people want their email for sending dirty pictures, HTML joke pages, funny Flash or Shockwave animations, Active X games, etc.
Other then active-X, none of those things even NEED to be left out of a secure email system. Assuming that the Flash and JS interpreters were bug-free. In fact, if windows was done 'right' you could even run active X (but it would still be a bad idea)
A nuke 10 feet from the surcace of the moon == small dust cloud? Have you ever heard of this thing called "radiation"? There would be plenty of gas around after setting off a nuke.
but no one would seriously try to call actual matter hitting you "sound."
What do you think air is? Besides, if you were inside a ship, matter hitting the hull would create sound inside the ship, dumbass.
I mean seriously, the hulk was always meant to have 'orders of magnitude' more strength then a regular human. Once you posit that, everything else about the movie (except spinning the tank, i guess) makes perfict sense.
I mean really. Lighten the hell up. Obviously the whole concept of the hulk isn't possible, physicaly in the real world. It's also weird that this reviewer thought that the Third Law of Thermodynamics was the "most fundemental" It dosn't even apply at the microscopic level. Wouldn't something like 'equal forces' or whatever been more fundemental?
I got like 20 of those emails in the past couple days, most of them this morning. I've never really got that many copies of the viruses that have been floating around.
From the slashdot intro: After being raided by the BSA in 2000 without warning and fined $100,000 for a few unlicensed copies of software,
From the article:In 2000, the Business Software Alliance conducted a raid and subsequent audit at the San Luis Obispo, Calif.-based company that turned up a few dozen unlicensed copies of programs
There's a diffrence between a 'few' and a 'few dozen'. One is about 12 times as much, in fact...
I've heard that 11 megapixles is the maximum that you can have with a 35mm sensor, after that the individual pixels would be smaller then the wavelength of light hitting the filter, and so each wave would end up hitting more then one sensor anyway.
Isn't it something like... Cyan would (500nm) light gets detected by both the blue and green sensors in your eye? I suppose the ideal 'filter' for a digital camera would be three filters that approximate the frequency response of the cones and rods in your eyes.
Maybe what this filter lets the camera do is pickup extra 'emerald' light that would otherwise be dropped by standard Blue and green filters.
You would still need a tetrachromatic monitor and printer in order to see the extra color anyway. The only place you'd be able to 'enjoy' sony's camera is right on it's own display screen (assuming they put orange lights on it). Otherwise you would need a special monitor/printer combo.

The people at area 51 had been working with a sample fighter for 50 years. They probably hacked out a cross-compiler in that time...

How did this get scored +5?

100% of My job is online
:P
100% of My school is online
100% of My friends are online
100% of My hobbies are online
and if i can't use a comptuer at all, they might as well put me in a federal prison taht allows me to read and purchase any book i want...
Man... get a life. Maybe taking away your computer would be a good thing
Well, I doubt that AOL will host the video traffic themselvs. There's no reason why Gaim and iChat couldn't work together...
If you read the article, you'd see that that SCO BSD'd all that code just last year. This is something they can't revoke.

Maybe emerald is the pantone name for the color?
