Microsoft wants to push the distributed web services model. Web services are much easier to manage with a centralized authentication system (rather than dealing with many separate passwords/certificates per application). Whether something like Passport is right for end users is another question.
You could store the target site name in a session on the redirector server, which you access with an ID number instead of the real URL. Using POST might also work. I'm sure there's a way to make it happen.
If your favourite POP3 server does not offer encryption, ditch it.
You can also use a wrapper program like Stunnel if you don't want to ditch your existing software. Stunnel allows you to use SSL with almost anything, including proprietary apps. I've used it with POP servers and it works reliably.
Here's their research. Apparently 30% found the test ad annoying, while 38% are annoyed by standard TV commercials. 59% supposedly found it entertaining, but that could just be the effect of the free sandwiches they got.
"These results further indicate that given the opportunity to use video, advertisers can shift consumer attitudes and accelerate favourability and purchase intent for their brands," said Allie Savarino, senior vice president of Unicast.
I've always wondered why people sneeze into their hands. I think it's better to sneeze toward the ground and away from other people. Sneezing into your hands just covers them with germs, and it's not like you're going to catch them all anyway.

The thing I remember most about GI Joe is that no one ever died, despite the constant combat. Even at the time I thought it was the wrong message to send children. (I guess streets full of dead civilians makes for poor Saturday morning entertainment.)
The challenge is going to be to develop a practical way of creating incentives for people with compromised machines to fix them quickly.
I think we need to focus on ISPs who allow large numbers of these infected machines to remain on their networks. These ISPs could easily set their gateways to log suspicious outgoing traffic (like lots of connection attempts to different hosts on port 135), compile a list of potentially infected machines, and then contact the end users to help them clean and patch. I imagine a well-designed ISP liability law (with warning provisions to help overcome corporate inertia) could help a lot.

Slashdot readers already complain about everything Theo does, so it would be an easy transition.

It's in his book. They used Crisco.
It's just a joke, silly boy
Let's have a fist fight
I bet you're the sort
Who says "pedagogical"
At least once per day
The MCSE and other Microsoft certifications are signed by Bill Gates. I think it's pretty ironic, considering that he dropped out of college.
Yuck, I should know better than to read Slashdot while eating.
Does the spelling tell us anything?
I bet this worm was written by a disgruntled network administrator sick of those "I'm being attacked" emails.

http://www.redirectionsite.com?site=www.donkey.se
It would load the porn site and convert the html so the links went to redirectors for other pages, images or whatever.
Yes, it does.

It's not nice to joke about the size of someone's exchange rate. If you're not careful, some British guy will show up and starting making fun of you.

Keep this person away from me. Thanks.

At first I was doubtful that someone would be able to work a Linux comment into this discussion. Thank you for restoring my faith in the community.
I forgot to mention that it uses EEP, the Emacs to Emacs Protocol.
Slashdot was down for a few minutes the other day. Why isn't that on the front page?
RMS is planning to start his own free email service. Supported clients will include Emacs and Netcat.
How about:
I, Robot vs. I, Rapper
With QoS.
There's this book.
