Give it up, the shuttle program was just a continuation of the "anything you can do I can do better" game between the U.S.S.R. and U.S., better known as "the space race". You send up a dog, I'll send up a chimp, you send up 1 man, I'll send up two, you try to land on the moon, I'll fake a lunar landing in a sound studio, you send up a small space station, I'll send up a school bus. It's really very aimless at this point, sending up men and women will always cost more than a robotic experiment or probe which can do the same thing better. There's also no point in men landing on other planets, because so far we have not found another planet in the solar system with a sufficient quantity of oxygen, which we require to survive (not to mention, food). In brief, the federal government would be far wiser to spend dollars to find more efficient ways to utilize our resources and land on this planet. They can start by finding a way to keep the goddamn neighbor kids off my lawn.

I am working with google on a daily basis and I can confirm you that they are a bunch of monopolistic assholes. As they are the first and almost only search engine, they thing no rules apply to them, that they are above everything, like agreements, contracts, etc... I guess that's the consequence of a monopoly but it's still a pain in the ass
Maybe if they used that encryption before they wouldn't have got their source code stolen... ZING!

Gentoo 2004.2 Released

This is why Gentoo will never make any money and will fail as a company; there's clearly no way for them to control access to updates and charge subscriptions like Red Hat Network Update and Mandrake Club. It is clear that Gentoo will very shortly be purchased by Microsoft, placed in a canvas bag, tied to a cinder block and tossed into the river.
This is technology at its best, working for the benefit of small business owners. They have a right to refuse service, and this helps them to exercise that right before something bad happens, rather than after.
Now if we could only build our own plasma globes too...
You can... flyback transformer from a television, some steel wool, and a glass globe. Maybe a handful of other Radio-Shack components and wires. The toughest part is finding a suitable globe, evacuating the air from it, and filling it with gas to make the color you want, but it can be done with mostly off-the-shelf stuff.
What the Fsck is he supposed to do, drop it silently and then continue to get hammered by 100,000 queries an hour?
If that's his concern, unplug the fucking wire. Change DNS resolution for relays.osirusoft.com to a blackhole address. Change the IP.
Personally Call each and every ISP that uses his lists? Remember, he can't use the net to do this, because some dipwad jerk is DDoS'ing the crap out of him and other anti-spam sites.
Obviously, the box in question is able to return DNS query responses, so it's not DoSed off the wire. Since the blocklist is typically queried by SMTP servers, by logging the IP addresses which query, he has an instant list of all the SMTP servers of people who use the service. He can then reverse-lookup these, and send an email to postmaster@whatever, CC:ed to root and whomever else. He can use a separate machine and IP to do so so this traffic is not affected by the DoS.
There, that's a responsible way of dealing with the problem, and if you'd like I can write a script to do it automatically. The way in which he dealt with this is not responsible, given that he chose to run a blacklist service which he knew was being used by administrators to block email. He was well aware that by doing this, he would affect innocent people.
Then again, to the spews.org crowd, anyone who doesn't devote their life to their single minded pursuit of purifying all email traffic is a guilty party.
Oh, I forgot, the standard line from these spews.org haters is "I don't care if my ISP is letting spammers hijack relays and fuck up the net, I Want my EMAIL WHAWHAWHAWHA"
This is precisely what we recite at the beginning of every regional meeting of The Spews.org Haters Association; how did you find out?
It depends on if my own MTA is set to deliver NDRs. Mine does, but the message returned by the refusing MTA was "Your mail server is on relays.osirusoft.com's blacklist". The only way I get the message about "Stop using relays.osirusoft.com" is if I dig for text records for relays.osirusoft.com. Even then, it doesn't do shit for me because it's the other guys ISP which is using the blocklist. The other guy doesn't know about the NDR, so I have to call him, or call his ISP. So basically, I personally have no dealing whatsoever with Joe Jared, but he's succeeded in creating extra work for me. Sounds a lot like a spammer.
How about this. Your credit report is vastly inaccurate. This seems to be due to some guy with a similar name to yours who buys a lot of expensive stuff and never pays his bills. You have contacted the credit reporting agency to ask them to fix this and have provided full information, but they are either ignoring you or taking their sweet time. They also treat you like a deadbeat jerkoff. Meanwhile, you have plenty of income, but can't get a home or car loan.
Are you supposed to go after the company that won't give you a loan and try to convince them to do so in spite of this? And how did any of this become your problem to spend time solving?
First they blacklisted the porno spammers......and I emailed nobody, for I was not a porno spammer. Then they blacklisted the open relays......and I emailed nobody, for I was not an open relay. Then they blacklisted the ISP dialup subnets.......and I emailed nobody, for I was not on an ISP dialup subnet. Then they blacklisted everyone......and there was nobody left for me to email.
I'm sorry, but this guy is a true blue asshole. My condolences for being DDoSed, but by banning "the world" to try to tell people to stop using his service ASAP, plenty of legitimate non-spam email got blocked, meaning that people may have to resend, and in some cases may not even know their email was missed. That's worse than spamming, people.
Oh, I forgot, the standard propaganda line from these SPEWS.ORG type anti-spam fundamentalists is "we didn't block your email, the ISP using our service did, blame them."
I'm glad I read this; I got a bounce message earlier saying one of my emails was blocked due to our corp. mail server being blacklisted by relays.osirusoft.com, and I drove myself just about mad trying to figure out how or why.

Hi Chris Anderson, I'm josh crawley. I remember when your magazine was relevant, for like a week back in 1996. Why do you think I care now?

I already have one, its a set of speakers on my desktop. Everytime a cellphone gets a call/text i get a:

Well that's life as a gay prostitute for ya...

What are you going to do, send the RFC police to rape them in the ass with their big black rubber truncheons? Seriously...

Mr. Wizard: So this old man invites little boys and girls over to his house to do "experiments". We never meet Mrs. Wizard.
No, there's nothing suspicious here.

You misspelled "Cowboy Neal". Hope this helps.

I think you can see the analogy here.
First they blacklisted the porno spammers... ...and I emailed nobody, for I was not a porno spammer. ...and I emailed nobody, for I was not an open relay. ...and I emailed nobody, for I was not on an ISP dialup subnet. ...and there was nobody left for me to email.
Then they blacklisted the open relays...
Then they blacklisted the ISP dialup subnets....
Then they blacklisted everyone...
