That guy is either a HUGE pussy or he was attention-whoring.
If I was studying at that library at night and he caused more than 5 minutes of disturbance, I'd go over and tell him to STFU and get his his face. Assuming his balls didn't shrivel up and he starts also screaming at me, I'd knock him the fuck out. I suppose he'd sue me later though, but at least I'd have some satisfaction for having my studying disturbed.
Huh? I'm just trying to see what other people think about this technique. I'm not looking for an easy way out as you are implying.
I repeat, I'm not thinking Nolisting will remove more spam than true greylisting. I'm not looking for an all-in-one technique to miraculously get rid of all the spam. If it can even remove 5-10% that will be a lot of spam removed.
So far the only delay I can think of is if an MTA doesn't immediately try the next priority server. I am under the impression that MTAs will try at least 2 MX records without any noticeable delay before re-queuing.
But if you don't want to share whatever you seem to know, then that's your decision and that's fine too.
I'm thinking that if Nolisting can get rid of some spam, without any negatives factors, that will be great. There will still be spammers sending to backup MX servers, but at least if Nolisting can really deal with the fire-and-forget spammers that only try the primary MX, then that will be an improvement.
That site I posted also has another technique called Unlisting:
Basically, set your primary MX to be always unavailable. Normal MTA's should usually immediately try the next MX server, but the fire-and-forget type of spam/UCE won't.
What are the exceptions? Certain PHP-based webmailers and the like?
I have friends living or have lived in China within the past two years. I had them test out various things and am positive that BBC was being blocked. I ended up setting up encrypted proxies for them to use.
That government official claiming that he sees/hears people in the office listening to BBC news...I guess maybe only government officials have special privileges over the peons. I would think that comment would anger the Chinese people even more...but they're all pretty brainwashed, so who knows, maybe they appreciate the censorship.
I guess with Novell going with Compiz since they employ the creator of Compiz and XGL, Ubuntu is going with Beryl (fork of Compiz).The lead of Beryl, Quinn Storm, uses Ubuntu so it's a nice fit.
In the latest Beryl blog (http://blog.beryl-project.org/?p=18) it mentions that the Beryl Project developers have been invited to the next Ubuntu Developers Summit:
For those of you who don't know, the Beryl Project has been invited out to the Ubuntu Developers Summit in California next month. First off Ubuntu is NOT taking over control in any way, and beryl will remain distro neutral. The idea here is to help make sure beryl works with ubuntu and that beryl can be released in Ubuntu. A spec for Ubuntu 7.04 has had some initial groundwork done which will allow beryl to come pre-installed on Ubuntu systems that meet the requirements! The conference is from Nov. 5th to Nov. 11th and I will be keeping you all up to date here on what's going on, what has been discussed, and any new and exciting developments. Stay tuned, exciting progress is afoot.
Hopefully the open-source ATI Radeon driver gets better (less buggy and faster) and ATI releases a new driver supporting the GLX_texture_from_pixmap extension. NVidia already supports that extension although with their closed-source drivers (I think an open-source effort is currently in its infancy).
Now that Edgy Eft comes with Xorg 7.1 and AIGLX, I guess I should take a look to see how well the open-source radeon driver handles running Beryl.
I currently have Dapper Drake running XGL on top of xorg 7.0 and using the ATI proprietary drivers. There are some disadvantages like not being able to Shutdown without logging out first and higher CPU usage especially when playing videos. Hopefully ATI isn't stalled on it's support for the GLX_texture_from_pixmap extension due to the AMD acquisition...
They've implemented some content-inspection filtering (privacy issues?) and in the last week or so, my bittorrents stopped working completely. Most of my friends are affected, some are just severely throttled to 3kB/s while some are fine.
I'm completely blocked and can't even download.torrent files from websites unless the.torrent file itself is small enough to get through in the first couple of packets before the block takes place.
The only way around it so far has been to use BitComet or Azureus with encrypted BT headers enabled.
I had called and got them to admit it although the people I talked with where morons...one guy was like, "well I noticed my own WinMX stopped working but it works on my friend's computer so I figured it's my own fault". That was his story to initially blame me for the problem.
Btw, I wasn't an abuser. I was trying to download an Ubuntu AMD-64 ISO for the past week before running tcpdump and seeing the traffic look like it had some delayed blocking. Then I googled...
- close miranda - go to plugins folder and make a copy of the jabber.dll to gtalk.dll - start miranda - username: gmail username without the @gmail.com - password: gmail password - Login Server: gmail.com - Use SSL checked - Manually specify connection host checked - Host: talk.google.com - Port: 5223
Still waiting for the AMD64 security packages to show up a security.debian.org and not have to use the "sarge-proposed-updates" that Brandon warns against.
Use the SVN property $LastChangedRevision$ which is similar to the CVS $Revision$ property.
Also, to see how many times a file as been changed, use SVN's log feature to show a list of revision numbers where that particular file was changed. I'm not sure the commandline for it since I use TortoiseSVN to view it.
The first thing on: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/ says:
"If you are experiencing a crash when entering text into the address bar, you can correct the problem by removing the autocomplete.xpt file from your Firefox components directory, for example C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components. To avoid this crash, do not install a new installer build on top of an older zipped build."
How many guys look and behave like Duke Nukem or most other male characters in video games?
Do we play those games because we wish we were big juiced-up tough guys or is it just funny and fun to play? Are we worried that if girls see Duke that they'll expect us to look and act like him?
Anyway, you can't prevent what guys find physically attractive in females. The reverse is also true. If I'm an ugly bastard, that doesn't mean all male characters in video games should also be ugly bastards.
So you are saying if I were Chinese, I would understand and agree with killing people (if war happens) just to be able to officially say they belong to you and no other reason for the killings?
I've gone through a lot of the posts here, and also followed the thread where one Debian maintainer quit because the installer had an option for Taiwan.
I can see the point of wanting unification (same people afterall), but I would have thought this is primarily an issue between the two governments and whether Taiwan is independent or not doesn't actually affect the day-to-day lives of anyone from China. I don't think the way of life for people living in China will be directly affected (suffer or improve) if Taiwan rejoins China.
It seems from my (admittedly uninformed) standpoint, the more pleasant/peaceful China is in working towards Taiwan rejoining, the more likely and easy it will be for the voters in Taiwan to vote in favour of rejoining China eventually. This also includes the attitudes of people of China towards people of Taiwan, not just the governments.
If it doesn't work out (at least not currently), why such extremist views like quitting a job, or even wanting to go to war? Wouldn't you just end up with resentful people? If that doesn't matter, then is this just a superiority complex thing?

That site I posted also has another technique called Unlisting:
http://www.joreybump.com/code/howto/unlisting.htm
Basically enforcing that MTA's try the MX's in the correct order.
I realize greylisting will be more effective. But my clients have a problem with delays.
I recently discovered this technique...sounds very interesting. Anyone try it? Comments?

Will it be themeable?
I do like the current way...close button on the top-right or else middle-click to close.
But I'm not sure if I have a problem with the new way...although I guess it takes away space for longer titles.
I haven't used Azureus but I am pretty sure I saw Azureus clients connect to me and transfer stuff so I just assumed it supported encryption...

This reminds me of the Debian maintainer that quit because Debian didn't call Taiwan as part of China.
According to the developers, OpenSSH will probably never have native chroot support.
Are you using port 5223? I could not use 5222 because, and I'm guessing, the Jabber plugin doesn't support TLS.
I forgot to mention to get these dll's and put them into the Miranda folder (not the plugins subdirectory):
http://jabber.au.edu/miranda/openssl097d_dll.zip
- close miranda
- go to plugins folder and make a copy of the jabber.dll to gtalk.dll
- start miranda
- username: gmail username without the @gmail.com
- password: gmail password
- Login Server: gmail.com
- Use SSL checked
- Manually specify connection host checked
- Host: talk.google.com
- Port: 5223
This works as of this posting.

You disagreed with the ad THAT much?
Where I used to work, everyone's startup page by default was MSN.COM and they would just use the search bar to lookup everything.
