  2. TMDA gets rid of 98% of my spam on 11 Anti-spam Products Tested · · Score: 0

    http://tmda.net/

    and a simple rule:

    BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER = "spambounce@domain.com" ....where spambounce goes to our friend /dev/null.

  3. Gentoo has the best package management yet! on Delta Compression for Linux Security Patches? · · Score: 0

    Having used Redhat AS, etc., Fedora, and SuSE, and even a while back BSD... I am so incredibly impressed w/ Gentoo

  4. Re:Can't read the press release... on Daniel Robbins Resigns As Chief Gentoo Architect · · Score: 0

    Very true... it takes a longer to get a Gentoo dist going, BUT with portage maintaining that dist is orders of magnitude easier and *less* time consuming... plus you do *not* have to pay for up2date or spend time trying to reconcile redhat's version numbers. Its all very clear.

  5. Re:Fyodor must be busy... on Port Knocking in Action · · Score: 0

    Not to mention our snort logs.

  6. "If bugs go unresolved" on Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org · · Score: 0

    "Consequently, if bugs go unresolved, users have the option to resolve problems by scouring through numerous community sites and chat rooms."

    A current MS user might ask:

    "You mean if instead of waiting months for a bug to be resolved, I can just logon and probably get a answer?! Shoot, otherwise, I might have to wait a few days"

    Now that is definitely something a user would *not* want!!

  9. Very good anti-spam methods already out there... on Gates on Spam · · Score: 0

    It seems to me that it is already becoming increasing difficult (read expensive) for the true spammers (read forged headers, opt-out-chance-in-hell) to get away with it.

    I use TMDA and it cuts out 99%+ of the spam I used to receive -- try it you'll love it.

    http://www.tmda.net/

    Hell, even filtering via Mozilla's or others "Junk mail" filtering works well... or something fancier:

    http://www.bayesian.org/

    I'd personally like to know how many open relays there are out there. Is # of open relays > how many $ Bill G has? Any correlation?

  10. $1 million? Can you sar "Hoax?" on Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required? · · Score: 0

    Getting the FAA to let you fly the thing aside, and putting the fact that F18 aren't just sold to the public as they aren't "Retired," and won't be anytime soon. It seems like you might have to use you coupon book, as the normal street price is $40 million.

  11. They forgot the best, most succinct Linus quote! on Darl Goes to Harvard · · Score: 0

    "Even if we were to live in that alternate universe where SCO would be [always] right, they'd still be wrong." -Linus

  12. Does this seem a little too convenient? on SCO Offline · · Score: 0

    SCO going down down down quicker than their lawyers can file a lawsuit. The press lamenting about how SCO "has drawn the ire of the so-called 'open source' programming community."

    This is a pretty rudimentary DoS as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong). Complex, no:

    GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.sco.com\r\n\r\n"

    What is really causing the problem here is our old friend Microsoft and it inability to keep viruses off its hard drive, and the fact that even with all the press a large number of infected machines haven't been fixed yet.

    Bugtraq has had a lot of stuff on this of course:

    http://www.math.org.il/newworm-digest1.txt.

    Has anyone asked the question of: with all of its intellectual power and original ideas, why hasn't sco put in place a server farm (http://www.squid-cache.org perhaps) and some nice load balancers (across multiple pipes) to serve up their damned homepage?!

  13. \. Duplicate Detection System (SDDDS) on USPTO Grants CA Lawyer Domain-Naming Patent · · Score: 0

    Duplicate stories are increasing N^2, can some innovative programmer find a way to make (N-C)^2 so we all can rest peacefully in the bliss of a job well done.

    Its a race between those who send and those who wish not to receive, and lets be honest with ourselves it will continue to be. As we get more better at filtering so do they.

  23. Not new, efficient or lightweight on Bicycle Tech Drivetrain Advances Showcased · · Score: 0

    Internal gearing systems are nearly as old as bicycles themselves dating back to around 1909 w/ Sturmey-Archer and others making them for years and years, mostly those old 3 speeds. They are terribly in-efficient when compared to your typical chain and cog system (95+% efficient I think). They also tend to weight more.... read they went the way of solid tires and wooden rims... bye bye. If you want technology check Shimano's and Campy's new 20 speed road setups: http://dura-ace.shimano.com/publish/content/duraac e/en/home/the_product0/drive_train.html http://campagnolo.com/groupsets.php?gid=1&cid= all ps: Campy even uses php for their website... they can't be all bad!
