  1. Re:Forget the article - look at the photo! on Crack Windows XP With... Windows 2000 · · Score: 1
    It included the line "WOO WOO I GET SPANKING".

    Oh yeah, that helps narrow the search :).

  2. Re:Yahoo thinks political messages are spam on Aggressive Email Filtering Blocks Political Debate · · Score: 1

    As opposed to the liberal political email you receive? I doubt that even the most jaded conspiracy nut would believe that Yahoo has a "conservative filter" applied to incoming email.

  3. Re:Would it help? on DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing · · Score: 1
    No. This has nothing at all to do with the DDoS attacks. This is just an attempt by DALnet to pull a CYA maneuver. They're preemptively trying to counter the *AA agencies. I doubt it will work.

    I agree. In fact, it's likely to backfire--now that they've established this policy, they're obligated to enforce it. They should have taken a hands-off approach and claimed to be "only a venue" as eBay puts it.

    Oh, well. R.I.P., DALnet.

  4. Site was run by toady cowards: on CNN Doesn't Like Being Spoofed · · Score: 1
    However, as we are sympathetic to character assassination and never intended the site to be used for defamation of character, we are more than willing to work with authorities to track down individuals who posted abusive content.

    If this is their way of avoiding potential liability, and I were sued, I'd make sure they were dragged in somehow, legally or otherwise.

  5. Re:Bad companies. Cults? M$ ? on AOL Not Alone In Subscriber Decline · · Score: 1
    Earthlink is associated with Elron Hubbard's cult, which was an early force in Internet censorship.

    Earthlink also uses spam to advertise (winbigusa.com/peak-10.com/webersinternet.com spam gang), which cost them any consideration from me when DirecTV Internet folded.

    There will never, ever be any radioactive material launched into space, for very good reason.

    Kind of difficult to have nuclear powered satellites without radioactive material, I imagine.

    Thanks! I can be reached at mimmiranda at hotmail dot com. I'd be happy to make the certificates available from a web page for others to download.

    I am required to have low security so webmail works on public folders in exchange 2000. I get hit by this thing about once a month.

    Set a realistic security level as the default in IE (Medium or higher). Now add your Exchange 2000 web access page to "Trusted Sites" and set that security level to Low. That should make you able to use public folders and not be owned by every drive-by ActiveX spyware install.

    No shit to that. Everybody has to be a local admin to run Host on Demand at our site, which is a Java applet for Pete's sake!

    If you're the lucky winner of the prosecutorial lottery, I'm sure it can be arranged for the label to make a short run of the CDs you downloaded, thus establishing a retail value. And ex post facto doesn't protect you from the establshment of that value after the fact.

    IANAL and all that.

  13. Re:Two thoughts... on P2P File Sharing Could Cost You A Bundle · · Score: 1

    I've thought along those same lines of late. This idea could be the reason we've seen the big push to lock down wireless networks for "national security" of late. If these prosecutions take off, expect helpful visits from law enforcement to "help" you secure open wireless networks in the near future.

    If you think the blank CD market is hot now, wait until people are afraid to log onto P2P networks because of the RIAA's jackbooted minions at the DOJ, and instead have to trade F2F (that's face-to-face) with others.

    The broadband industry would be in deep trouble, though. I know that I can live just fine with dialup and the occasional mail order distro upgrade.

    OK. You're right. So you and the other person sharing only uncopyrighted works have nothing to worry about!

    I mean, couldn't you, if you got caught, just go out and buy the CDs that they accuse you of illegaly downloading?

    In the case of <ahem> some people I know, it'd be cheaper to pay the $250,000 fine.

    So you have written permission to redistribute that movie trailer? I doubt it--so your self-righteous banter is unjustified, as you're violating copyright just the same as a 0 day w@r3z d00d.

    Catching copyright violators will be a good thing for copyright reform: suddenly the same people who currently just ignore the laws will press to see them changed.

    No we won't, because we don't want to call attention to ourselves and have our doors kicked in by the MP3z and warez police.

    I've seen a bunch of that, too. It just means the filters will have to normalize the message, by stripping out the comments.

    I've also seen a great preponderance of text only messages encoded in base64. I assume this is also an attempt to evade filters.

    Microsoft spent millions of dollars and countless man-hours on the multitude of color schemes you can pick from. Use one of those.
