We have some beefy servers on our network that are overloaded with much less traffic than slashdot. I wonder what kind of hardware slashdot is running on.
Maybe we are just _slightly_ closer to the sun speeding up the total time to orbit by one second. Like one of those things in the mall where the quarter rolls around the cone before falling instide. It won't be long now.
Start adding SMTP servers to DNS as an MTA record. It adds the ability for exchangers to reject invalid SMTP servers. This is a simple step that would nearly be an answer to spam.
I have a book on my desk named automating UNIX and Linux administration, good book and almost all of the examples used are shell scripts. I use shell scripting as an extention of the existing command line and most of hte UNIX admins I know use shell script for most tasks.
That is because you have never seen it around here, plenty of wide open roads with hardly anybody on them. Pretty much everyone speeds or they are in the way. You also have to consider that you can be legally blind, mentally retarded, and have frequent seizures and still get a drivers license in this country as long as you have a doctor sign a slip. Roads like that in many other countries don't even have speed limits.
I just don't want to get pulles over for an expired inspection or a busted tail light and have the cops pull up a GPS "how's my driving" record for the last few days. Or worse yet, have onstar send my ticket in the mail becasue they detected my speeding. So yeah, as long as the information is not used against me I really don't catre.
packet8 has a $20 plan with unlimited calls in US and canada. $20 mer month pluse the cost $75 for the VoIP phone. They have a free (just buy phone) plan that will let you call anyone on the packet8 network. So if you call one person often you could both splurge the cost of the phones and call each other for free.
I think with several major companier launching plans for VoIP in the last month or so it will begin to catch on faster from here. Several call centers are replacing thier old PBX systems with VoIP with a 3 to 4 month ROI for the new equipment cost.
Everything that is not free is bad, but since free does not support itself than we must donate? How can the same people preaching "free" is the only answer turn around and ask for donations? Your religion is so stupid its frustrating. Free software means taking someone elses idea and making it free. I fucking hate GPL hippies.
"or at least make it mandatory to for-profit organizations to give a certain minimum amount and take it out of their taxes?"
So you want to charge for Linux and have it tax-deductable?? That is the dumbest idea I have ever heard. Are you going to let me write off my copies of Windows too?
These things don't happen overnight. You include the functionality now and start requiring it several versions later. If your organization does not have a problem with spam then there is really no burning reason to ever adopt it. But for org's that are getting killed and demanding some technical solution to the problem, they can jump early.
I never said the idea of try before you buy is stupid. I though the comment was pretty self explanatory. But, I was implying that there is no market for commercial Linux games. This is partly because most of the Linux user-base does not like to pay money for software. I was just pointing out the irony in his post that he wanted to know if there was a Linux port and then looking to get a free version of it in the very next sentence. You can also note that he mentions Quake 2, which is also free. BTW does Slack3r mean you are using Slackware? Funny you are not using one of the commercial Linux distros, SuSE, or the purchased versions of RH or MDK, but a FREE version of Linux. I am willing to bet that neither you or the guy I replied to bought any of the applications or the distro you are currently using. Either I am psychic or Linux users are predictably cheap.
The mail exchanger would already know the "key" becasuse it had to create the hash using something. It is possible to make this much more CPU intensive for the sending client than the mailstore but it is a valid point though. many ISP's have several million dollar mail platforms that function at 90% + utilization. Even adding one small step to the process could bring the platform to its knees.
Then you could have a client or mail exchanger that drops any "X-Challenged: True" mails withot a matching challenge reply. For backwards compatibility you can just ignore (forward) mails that don't include a "X-Challenged: True" header.
This an interesting new idea, another possible idea is to add DNS records for SMTP servers. This would prevent attacks form infected windows machines running trojan SMTP servers.
Admins have to add mail exchangers "MX" as it is, it would not be that much more difficult to add the servers as an "MT" record or something.
There would be a header something like:
X-Challenged: True
X-Challenge string: Xdg54gb46y3gew
X-Reply: 436785689

What information do you have to back this up?
It shows the capibilities of the technology. And it has been a sport for quite some time now.

With that many buzz words thrown out in just the into it MUST be good.

I once had a problem where my PC would not complete POST. So I tried another proc (XP 1800+).
I just wanted to see if it would complete POST and give me the BIOS screen so I booted without a heatsync in place.
The proc was smoking and fried before I even got the the BIOS screen, it was instant.
This is only modded interesting cause the Athlon64 got its ass handed to it in the benchmarks he posted.
AMD/Linux/IBM good, Intel/MS bad.
Slashdot should change its title to that or "Bias news for nerds, stuff we think should matter"

Awww how sweet. You like the game for the friends you made. Something tells me you have more pr0n than I do.
BTW: The fact that you are requesting a shareware/demo (free) version is exactly the reason there is no Linux port.
