    I particually liked this
    The great 'pit' [hell] would only need to be about 100 miles or less in diameter to contain, with much room to spare, all the forty billion or so people who have ever lived, assuming their 'spiritual' bodies are the same size as their physical bodies."

  3. This really is no big deal on OptInRealBig Wins Restraining Order On SpamCop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    These arguments Richter is bringing up have had their showing in courts before. Richter complains that spam cop is interferring with his business. Spam Cop is doing no such thing. Spam Cop is not forced upon anyone. Spam Cop has given out their negative opinion about something and the target is just trying to shut them up.

    Suppose I create a website which rates hardware for PCs and I decide that such in such Video Card really fucking blows big chunks. This is akin to the manufacter trying to argue that I am interfering with his business because I'm telling everyone his product sucks - as long as I'm not being intentionaly libelous, I would think I'd be 1st amendment protected.

    Remeber that lawsuit last year from that copany that magiccaly sprung in Flordia just to flie a suit and disappear? That blew over - Spamhaus is still around and this will too.

    Ok, So the the federal courts have ruled in favor of these people, this is a Good Thing[TM] IMHO...However, who's to say they can't try to then persue this through ICANN which has its own rather nutty Domain Dispute Policy which has done things like uphold a claim by Molson (beer) to own canadian.biz (which was later overturned in canadian courts...) Who exactly has the ultimate jurisdiction here?

    1. Buy yourself a domain and setup a default alias that you check...

    yahoo.com gets yahoo@yourdomain.com

    and so on. If one happens to sell/use your address, big deal, /dev/null that sucker. Keep one address just for friends and compadres and you'll never have a spam problem..You'll also know who you can't trust cause it shows up right in the To: line....Sure, one or two might show up once in a while because they guessed it but I have had the same address for almost a year now and I get 0 in my inbox while my Spam box gets /dev/nulled with the full confidence of nothing getting lost.

  19. My school had this on Canadian University to Begin Training Hackers · · Score: 1

    I studied computer science at the University of Massachusetts where we actually had a course in network security. It was pretty awesome - it was taught by the people who did the security for our school and went through things like IDSs, buffer overflows, busting stacks, ARP/IP spoofing, and encryption. We had a lab of 3 subnets of 3 linux boxes each, a router and a server (that incendentally was not hooked up to the internet or anyhting else for that matter) and did labs with SNORT and the likes - absolutely great experience and what I learned in that class helps me every day (I'm a lead tech now at a large webhosting company) Learning security and how exploits really work (versus script kiddies running ./HackThisBox.sh) really reinforces topics things like TCP/IP in ways that are really practical and gives you a much more concrete understanding of the underlying technology then the more traditional comp sci undergraduate classes.
