If you leave the US you won't have to pay US taxes.
Nope, the US is about the only country in the world that taxes non-residents the same as residents.
Not exactly. If you are a non-resident US citizen and you earn your income from a foreign company, then you get an exemption on this foreign-earned income up to $95K a year. So, you only pay US taxes if you make more than that amount.

Actually non-residents are only taxed the same way if the income was earned inside the USA. I live outside the USA but am a US citizen. I work for a company based outside the USA. I still have to file taxes in the US, but I also get an exemption for my foreign earned income. Unless you make more than $90K per year you wont pay anything in US taxes.
Symmetric crypto includes a one-time pad. No math textbook necessary, just a list of random bits. The best part is that if the key is truly random, is not reused, and is kept secret, the one-time pad provides *perfect* crypto.
We have an established, secure, stable system, chain of command and accountability, and administrative and technical infrastructure built to administer the root servers. Any changes to this system have a potential for unacceptable disruptions in service.
You mean like how Verisign decided to redirect the failed DNS queries to their "Sitefinder" service. Yeah there is "stable" for you, and I don't seem to remember them being real "accountable" for that fuck up. It was only through a huge amount of grassroots pressure, workarounds in the form of BIND patches, etc. that they finally capitulated.
IMHO, the root servers should be internationally managed to prevent exactly this sort of abuse. The fact that you point out, that some international groups get to *maintain* a root server is a red herring. This is really a question about setting policy. You are the same guy who believes that Diebold voting machines aren't mucking up the voting system in the US, so I guess you are consistent at least. The real question for me is why you place so much blind faith in some of these US institutions.
How many people are aware that when their Nokia sends "dah dah dah dit dit dah dah dah" it is in fact sending "SMS" in morse to indicate Short Message System? I hear it all the time, and nobody knows why it beeps like that!
Actually that would be OIO, not SMS. To get SMS you would need to reverse the dits and dahs, as in "dit dit dit dah dah dit dit dit".
Perhaps you should read the links you post a little more carefully next time...
From the wikipedia article you quoted, "More recently, to beg the question has been used as a synonym for "to raise the question", or to indicate that "the question really ought to be addressed"."
I totally agree with your comment. Paul *should* be contacting his ISP to see what they are doing about the problem. He is choosing not to contact them to hyperbolize his problem (and thus advocate Bayesian filtering instead).
However, I also think that Paul has a point when he writes, "I do think that whether an email comes from a server on a list of (supposed) spam sources is just one piece of evidence among many, and probably fairly unimportant evidence compared to the content of the email."
Since the SBL has been quite good about listing individual spamming IPs (not whole "collateral damage" ranges a la SPEWS) people have decided to rely on it quite heavily. This is both a curse and a blessing. Of course, no single RBL is 100% bulletproof against false positives, and any good solution to blocking spam will be a comprehensive one.
He could also have phoned the blocklist operators...
Oh Yeah, where _did_ I put that phone number for the SPEWS guys? Oh now I remember, they are totally anonymous. Fuck SPEWS and their "collateral damage". When you block sites like the Linux Kernel Mailing List (and many other legit sites too) your blocklist just became totally unusuable.
Google for Backscatter XRay and you can see all sorts of sample images these devices can take. Anything organic shows up in bright white with plastics, metals, etc showing up as darker shades of grey.
Apparently they were trying to get around the x-rated picture issue by covering the image of the body with a silhouette so you could not see any detail of the body itself. Not sure how they accomplish this or how well it works though.
Better yet, run your connections to the phishing site through some open proxies. This will yeild enough different IP addresses that you would be extremely difficult to detect.
I wouldn't mind having a copy of that script BTW.

I think "connotation" is the word you are looking for.

Interestingly enough, not all of Arizona follows this policy. The Navajo Indians in Arizona still observe DST on their reservation.

Just use a Sender: header and publish your own SenderID TXT record for your domain. It really isn't too difficult.

I also don't really like the look of google's oversided roads.
Yeah those roads with like six or seven sides are really awful to navigate.
