    This exploit appears to allow you to obscure your ip address as well. I didn't see any mention of this in the linked article so i figured it was worth mentioning. About a month ago i recieved a spam complaint from our ISP about mail sent from a machine in our IP block:

    Received: from 64.84.xxx.xxx by bay3-dav112.bay3.hotmail.com with DAV;

    After investigation it didnt seem like the spam had come from there, there was no evidence of a break in or that anyone had used it to send spam. While we were investigating we changed it's IP adress and never bothered to change it back, but we've still been given 3 more copies of current spam showing this IP address thats not even in use anymore.

    By the way all thre anti MS security chest beating was pretty silly, the entire industry has problems with security its hardly one companies domain.

    Also I checked my spam that i've gotten since 5/1/03:
    3467 pieces of spam
    5 pieces of DAV spam

    not really a huge issue

  3. In Canada on California Senate Approves Net Tax Bill · · Score: 1

    This has been the case all along. Any customer living in your province had to be charged the provincial sales tax. Any person living in Canada had to be charged GST.

    This is nothing new up here in the North, I'm surprised it took this long to implement.

    I also don't think it will have much effect on businesses since for many, Internet sales only account for a small portion of the sales.

  13. Re:Does any of this mean that as a brick and morta on New Amazon Patents on Content Personalization · · Score: 2

    Having knowns a girl who worked at Shoppers Drugmart in product layout management... there is a lot of thought put into which products go side by side, which products appear at the front of the store, and which products are showcased.

    In absence of a product purchase, one can ONLY use viewing habbits to assist in related products. The other alternative is to manually setup related products based on some common attribute (author, series, genre).

    There is nothing innovative here, they just looked to the brick n mortar as an example. I know of several shopping carts that have been doing this for over 5 years now (since Amazon first introduced Recommended Products based on purchases).

    Allowing the Customer to name their shopping basket AND having a basket named for them. ie. Wedding, Baby Shower, Wishlist, Gift basket, even Shopping Cart.

    The fact that the user can have multiple baskets is not new. What seems to be new is for the customer to be able to name their own basket.

    What's next, being able to patent dividers into a single shopping cart where products can be grouped? (sort of like an ICQ contact list).

  24. analyzing porn viewing... on Economic Predictions Using Web Usage Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    The key is to categorize the type of porn that is being viewed.

    Teen porn would indicate a desire to return back to school for more education. This can be used to indicate a slowing in the job market or radical changes in job skills being required.

    Lesbian porn indicates a desire for more social time, expanding ones horizons, and generally a good economy, since everyone is getting more then enough of the good stuff.

    Hardcore porn would indicate a slowing economy, since you are just pounding away at the task at hand.

    Gay porn would indicate a resession, since that is most likely when you are taking it in the ass at work, so why not see how the professionals do it.

    Hope this helps with future economical models based off of the viewing habbits of porn.
