That works well. I've tried it before. Unfortunately, if your shave takes 5 minutes and even if you have a low flow showerhead, that's 50 litres [50/~4 = 12.5 gallons] of water for something that could take less than 1 or 2 litres.
That is what has happened to us. One of our mail servers has been listed on one blacklist [I believe SORBS, but I'm not sure] for a very long time. The only way to get it delisted was to donate $50 to some charity [they didn't specify though]. I was just checking and couldn't find it listed so maybe they delisted it after a year or so.
But that was annoying. The lists should expire IP addresses after a period of time [1 day-1 month or whatever]. This was the only list that we experienced this problem with.

What a great line! I'm going to steal it for next week's meetings.
It looks like a scene out of Starcraft or something. It does have that fabricated look, which is probably a result of photoshop brightness/colour/contrast editing as you suggested.
>I think one method for this to work is for each suggested target be evaluated by each member. The >member has to agree that this is a valid target before his account participates in the attack.
With a certain threshold of participants required before the attack even takes place. If there are 100 members, perhaps 20 would need to agree on the item in question being spam. 15 wouldn't be enough to initiate a retaliatory opt-out.
I wonder how much of the "background" noise on the internet is this sort of crap floating around....DNS requests for viruses, port scanning for viruses, traffic in the form of spam, spam responses, systems to deal with spam....probably more than anyone realizes.
Everyone thinks of the picture with a grid laying flat and planets put little dents in the grid [downwards], suns put larger dents and black holes make that funnel shape. The size of the dent represents the strength of the gravitational field with black holes having very large gravity wells.
Think of a backyard trampoline. Golf balls and marbles [planets and suns] will sit quietly on it and if a marble gets close enough to a golf ball it will slide towards it down the little hill created by the golf ball. Now put a 15lb bowling ball on the trampoline. It makes a much larger dent and now all the other marbles and golf balls start reacting to its presence by sliding down the little slope made by it. The bowling ball is the black hole. Now think of an arbitrarily massive bowling ball and how that will affect the shape of the trampoline.
Perhaps the original mathematician was thinking about the possible interest that could be made on sums such as that. I think that the interest might put it over 1 billion. Never mind negative press.
That is the way I feel about the MySQL posts that are present in every MySQL thread present on Slashdot. Only listing the reasons it sucks, nothing representing how popular it is regardless of these suck-alicious reasons.
I like Tardis2000. But I must admit I'm not overly knowledgeable in the area of NTP. I mostly like the icon but it does allow for different protocols and multiple servers to sync from.
5 frontends in the test and 4 backends according to
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=159258&cid=133 37970
7 of those machines could go down and mail would still be delivered [as long as 1 front end and 1 backend remained up]. Makes it great for upgrading one machine at a time with zero downtime.
My ISP just upped our DSL from 1.5Mbit down to 5Mbit down. It is still 512kbps upstream but that doesn't bother me. I can now enjoy downloading at over 500KBytes/sec when the upstream server supports it.
I thought your name was a little interesting. Wasn't 'lazarus' the name given to a floppy disk after it had been repaired?
I actually can't remember but it seems as though one of my disks changed to a biblical sort of name after doing something to it [heck, 15 years ago now]
However, wordpad does stink at simply highlighting something. It always tries to intelligently guess at what you are trying to highlight and ends up taking a few extra characters when copying and pasting anything but word characters [HTML text for example]. Very annoying.
Maybe someone can indicate on how to turn that 'feature' off.
How is it a 'liberal' myth? I don't understand your statement. Isn't it just a myth. AMD has 2.6GHz processors that work as well as Intel 4Ghz. I don't see where Liberal's fit into this.
That was my EXACT reason for not liking the FireFox version compared to Opera....having to release the rightmouse button each time I wanted to go back. Petty yes, but it is a definite irritant.
Plus keyboard shortcuts...whoooo hoooo. That alone should tickle the fancy of any Linux fan [keyboard instead of the crippling mouse]
Unfortunately most people still think that to get to a page on the web they use MSN search. That default home page for explorer is very sneaky. Customers that I've spoken with don't even know what the address bar is for. They hit the 'home' button and type the URL in the search.
Some things that appear obvious to computer users are apparently not obvious to everyone else.
We need to do everything to reduce the power required for all our electronic gear. More powerful servers [computational wise] require more power [electricity wise] which then requires more power [electricity wise] to power the air conditioning. If we could get server that somehow consumed less power [a lot less] we would win on two fronts.
If they bring in no more cash at all.
Microsoft is like a whiney kid. If the EU backs down all it will do is teach Microsoft that it [Microsoft] is in charge. The EU has picked this fight and they can't allow Microsoft to win or they will have an even tougher time next time.

Some ISO standard that no one else seems to want to use. mm/dd/yyyy is just silly. Most significant to least significant makes the most sense by far.
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss is the way to go.

What if your doctor or lawyer WAS a woman? Darn sexual stereotyping.

Everytime a discussion on fascism comes up I'm reminded of this wonderful article somebody had in their signature so many moons ago [maybe two years]

Oh yeah...and its $37.95/month....Canadian
Haw haw. Wasted my mod points yesterday...darn.

I was hoping to get bat.mobile. I don't know what I'd host there but I'd be darn happy I got it thats for sure.

Canadian University. Waterloo is THE post-secondary institution for math and computer science in Canada. Or at least that is my impression of it.
