Just how big a whitelist would a modem user be prepared to download? A whitelist the size of half the internet? Believe me, speaking as a programmer, it would be easier to filter off the domain.
But that is restricting freedom of speech within a certain area of the internet. Surely that is exactly the same infraction of your 1st amendment? You can have freedom of speech, but not on this domain.
and look at reason 7 to upgrade. It's because Windows is finally getting smart and becoming more like *nix! Sure says something for how hard it is to manage Windows vs Linux.
IDC attributed the Windows 2000 win to the maturity of Windows management features and third-party tools in the marketplace. This countered the immaturity of Linux system management tools and low penetration of Linux management platforms in the enterprise.
And the fact you can hire some cheap little graduate fresh out of uni and put him in charge of your servers is probably their biggest cost saving here. You need talented admins to run a Linux system, but anyone who has used MS Office thinks they can be an admin.
You're not keeping up with the latest spam trends. They are obscuring their IP addresses, leaving no web link in the HTML (or linking to shitty images on someone elses site, which is even better for them:-) ) using false email addresses, and the latest batch don't provide any contact means.
Example: the spams that release "market information" about a company and recommend you but stocks in them.
SO untrue...explain to me why large businesses are moving more towards outsourcing IT/Support/etc to India then. If they're willing to get hardcore software designed and built in India/etc, why wouldn't they be willing to let them send out 100,000,000 emails at 60% of the cost of an American company doing it.
Matter of fact, I might set up a server over there right now and start advertising my new cheap spamming service...
You will never be able to get on top of the open relay issue, since too many inexperienced (so called) admins are doing a base install of Windows without deactivating all the crap MS have left on by default. God, I run Windows 2000 Pro, why would I need an SMTP service on my workstation? What were they thinking?
Or open a new terminal and do it at the same time. Give that processor/disk a workout.
Note: I often get make to run two compilers at once, since there is a lot of downtime during compilation anyway - it helps to get max use of the processor.
Neither do I. Nor was I advocating people pirating music...I was simply stating that the price is still too high. If they want this to fly then there needs to be a compelling reason to go to the trouble of downloading and potentially burning to disc (at your cost) the lower quality compressed tracks.
I suspect formatting floppies under Windows uses teh BIOS. Even on a 2ghz Pentium machine this can utilise nearly all the processor...presumably because it is tasking in and out of the BIOS.
you obviously haven't been in many punchups have you? Bareknuckle boxing causes far greater damage than using gloves because of the increased hardness (knuckle) and reduced surface area.
Why does everyone forget that music can be "ripped" using analogue gear as well. If you happen to have a nice little 24 bit 96khz sound card (say an Event Layla,or Pro Tools) then you can rip at the top quality level - even without a digital out. This is the same sort of gear the pros use (erh, well, maybe they use Apogge) to make the music.
Don't get me wrong here. I don't mind paying for the music I listen to. My album collection is much bigger than my MP3 collection. But I just wonder why they put so much effort into trying to protect this stuff, when the basic law is this simple:
If you can hear it, you can rip it
They'd be better off spending money developing some decent artists!
Aw, for fuck sake, is it really so horrible to fill in some details - you can even put dummy info into the ones you don't want to provide for real. The company is providing a quality news service to you *for free*.

GO over to Tom's Hardware and see they they had to say about SMP. Pretty depressing result if you ask me.
Which is surely why it should be possible to have a .porn TLD?

P.S. I quite enjoy porn, but it's really getting in the way of getting back meanful results from the net.
Windows 2000 Pro - 4GB Windows 2000 Server - 4 GB Windows 2000 Advanced - 8 GB Windows 2000 Data Centre - Lots!
Pst, don't tell anyone, but Windows ME is just Windows 98 with a new splash screen ;-)

Sure says something for how hard it is to manage Windows vs Linux.It's on it's way to being slashdotted already...and look, it's one of those cheap windows systems. Shoulda spent the extra cash to get Linux luxury ;-)
create a hotmail account, then enjoy a weekend away
check hotmail knowing that you haven't told anyone about it
Voila, enjoy your spam!
Profit ?
That's spammer talk, and you know what we do to spammers around here.

Er, isn't 10x365 = 3650 which is roughly how many the article said they are getting?
But don't bother trying to do this with Windows, since it can only handle 4GB of RAM, unless you run Datacentre edition.

But it's still too expensive! 99c per track is still $9.90 for a 10 track "album".

Chant the mantra - "this is not a preliminary missile attack".
