On one hand, suing spammers; on the other, forcing providers to disclose customer activity. It's dancing with the devil. (I'm assuming, since I've never actually done it to my knowledge. But I think that's what it would be like.)
IT is doomed.
BSD is doomed.
Sun is doomed.
America is doomed.
Sun is not doomed anymore.
DOOM!!
DOOOM!
DOOOOOOOM!
Ok, Sun's doomed again.
And so is IT, still.
Hey great. I still have 3 more years in school so I'll be getting out right in time to exploit this one. I don't know about you guys but I was too young for the first one. Then when it blew up I was really pissed off that I missed out on all the free venture capital.
Let's hope it's not Microsoft's XML, because that could cause a problem with communication:they might say "We come in peace" and start shooting at us with lasers and everything!
Was that a statement about microsoft itself or it's treatment of XML? I can't tell.
You could add a filter to IPSEC (assuming you're using windows). It would block the ip of the website, and you can't tell why. To them it would just seem like it doesn't work. a long explanation on how:
go to run: mmc -> file: add/remove snap-in -> in the standalone tab, add ip security policy management (pick local computer)-> close the add snap-in window
in the main mmc window, on the left side there should be the snap-in that you just added. Right click on it and pick create ip security policy. -> click through the next set of windows. You can pick your own name if you want, and make sure you uncheck activate default response rule.
after that the properties window should come up. in the rules tab click add -> click next (defaults are fine) until you get to ip filter list, and click add there
in the new window click add. use "my ip address" as the source, and "a specific dns name" as the destination. Type in the url for the site you want to blcok and it will get the ip for you. Say yes to the ip. -> pick any for the protocol type then click finish.
click ok on the ip filter list window to get rid of it. now back in the rule wizard, select the filter you just made (if you didn't change the name, that would be the "New IP filter list") and click next.
the next window is filter action. click add, and click through twice (pick a name if you want) and select "block". Then click through till that window goes away.
Now select the filter action you just created and click next. There's no need to look at the properties. You can close the "New IP Security Policy Properties" window too.
Now all you have to do is assign the policy and you're done. To do that (on the right side back in the main mmc screen) right click the policy you just spent all that time on and pick assign. That's it. You can't go to that web page from that comptuer anymore. (to turn it off you can pick un-assign).
Of course if your parents find out you did this, you're in deep shit.
Amen to that. As my parents used to say to me "bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla (go on for about an hour)...it reflects badly on us... bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla"
Now whenever they criticize me I tell them that it (or whatever particular fault they're talking about) must be the result of poor parenting.
heh. Actually, it got a score of one, because it's in your preferences. You add 1 to people who log in. See, for me, they don't get that. Also, AC's get negative 1 rather than zero. It works out well to weed out people like me and you, I think.
So we can do what? Look at it while it comes down on us? While it'd be nice to know, if there's nothing we can do about it, knowing serves no function, and would be a waste of resources, I think.
Slashdot Mirror
damn. All he did was make a comment about the spelling...
That's interesting, because I place people who type in all caps in that category too.

I keep getting server errors. It probably doesn't help that I keep hitting stop, refresh huh. Oh well. Back to that.
Hey, we still fun of gates for that 640k is enough for anyone comment.

Oooh, put it in the cold air return vents.
until they find it. I mean seriously. He could encrypt it too. It's not like hiding it is going to hurt in any way.

Heh, a thousand high schoolers thank you for this information.

But I think I'll post a comment anyway.
Have you never bought an oem computer?
There is that little thing we love to call the "windows tax".
Maybe it's "don't give away the thing you sell"...
Awww. How nice. Then he could spread it on his garden.
hey, if there were no zealots, then the moderates would suck.
Psh. You people and your ancient wheels.
cowboy neal carries me on his back.
I have to agree with you. Nothing like a sad ending when you're already depressed.
If you like sad endings watch requiem for a dream. Everybody loves that movie. It helps me to have hope for my life.
So we can do what? Look at it while it comes down on us? While it'd be nice to know, if there's nothing we can do about it, knowing serves no function, and would be a waste of resources, I think.
Oh, low number. You must have been around a while then huh.
Thou hast a far greater willpower than I.
unless of course you happen to have a loose definition of terrorist...
