I don't think that applies in this case. At those temperature anyone sitting near the computer will experience shrinkage in a ratio comparable to the increase in PC performace.
Going with the premise that for anything I do sign up for, it is relegated to specialty "spam" accounts in case an address gets sold or picked up by a bot
Make a script that checks if the recipient is one of your no-spam addresses. If it is, find the unsubscribe line, send an email back from a generated address stating we don't want crap.
Stick the generated address along with the original sender and unsubscribe addy in a text file somewhere.
Check the text file, see if generated address has received spammy email (anything other than perhaps an unsubscribe confirmation). If it hasn't "unsubscribe" any users on your server (in an opt-in to "automated antispam unsubscription service"). For spammers that go after your generated address, try and track them down to collect your $$$.
I'd imagine with such a service that somebody could make a living on it. Have clients send you spammy emails, logs, etc... use them to track the spammer and collect.
The sheer thinking of a WORLDWIDE change to the entire email system is actually quite propsterous.
No, it's not. Thinking of an immediate change is unfeasible. Thinking of a change over a period of time (new clients send using a new SMTP revision) is not at all difficult to imagine, somebody just has to start that ball rolling.
All it really requires to differentiate is a call and reply after the EHLO/HELO similar to:
SUPPORT2
Server supports SMTP 2.0
Continue with the old way for outdated mail servers (if you get an ERR), negotiate send more with a more secure email protocol for new ones.
Just wondering if this patent could be shot down as it applies to other media. Even it it were filed during the early days of CD-recording, if it were already done on similar media in a similar way does that mean prior art (on the method itself, if not on the fact that it is done on CDs).
Of course, that arguement doesn't seem to apply with the multitudes of patents with an appended "via the internet"...
Yeah, 'cause look at all those programmers who get a job doing it, then hate programming and quit doing it.
Yes, but how often do they do it outside of work? I used to love coding fun stuff in my spare time, playing with hardware, etc... now I try to avoid such things as much as possible outside of work.
When I'm at work, I stream music from my server at home to my laptop... anywhere from 30-60kbps.
So using that estimate:
60kbps=7500 bytes/sec
(7500 bytes/sec)*(3600s/h)=27000000 bytes/h (27MB)
Assuming I had it on all day:
(27MB/h)*(7.5h)=202.5MB (this is overkill, I rarely go near this amount, but possible)
That's a lot of bandwidth, just for my small increments listening to music at work.
Now for 128kbps streams that I listen to at home, if it were on for say, 8h on a weekend:
(27MB/h)*(128/60)*(8h)=460.8MB
That's near half a gig. If I were downloading a CD-image at the same time, etc etc...up to my max pipe of about 1mb/s (or was it 1MB/s), well you get the idea.
At current advertised rates, it doesn't take long to exceed several gigs. If you don't know your limit, who knows what actions you might face (disconnection, bandwidth cutting, surcharges, nastygram, etc)
Can you please explain the sig? Anti-SCO magic eye illusion. Only pops up in firebird, not CURL nor IE... and links to a nasty goatse...
As for being on topic: DivX player will somewhat depend on the reading speed of the drive. You'd improve performance by low-distance needed for the needle to travel, but lose some with micro-sized parts I'd imagine?
I find a lot of links for SoundFont drivers, problems, etc, on google - as well as some non-free soundfonts. Any links to some of the better free ones?
The reason I still have used windows 98 is rather simple... much of my games or older software simply do not work on XP.
As I wasn't into the linux scene until the last few years, I can't compare that far back, but I have seen several old linux projects that run just fine on current OS/kernel versions.
And while you are at it, add a small tracer allowing you to track where the pigeon goes. You can trace it to the destination and the sender rather easily this way.
Try running Mozilla on win95 and you'll probably find the same problem: mainly, it does in fact take a fair bit certain amount of system resources from a machine with low RAM/CPU.
You'll also notice that you cannot get IE6 for win95, so you can't compare that way... though 5.5 does most of what you need as far as basic browsing.
IceWM is nice, but when the apps you are loading are rather bloated (mainly to include the features we all desire) you still get slow on old hardware.
However, one might want to point out that while a third-party can pull apart your old oscilliscope to service it, you cannot do this with an older windows OS due to the fact that the source is generally unavailable (some components have APIs allowing for extension, but the majority do not).
Shutdown the machine, no, implement a rule to ignore SYN packets after DDOS begins yes. Firewall rules to prevent a SYN flood with iptables are simple.
eems SCO was hit with a 50,000 packet-per-second SYN flood peak, which yields approximately 20 Mb/s each way, or about the capacity of a DS3 line."
And how, exactly, would you prepare for this? Ignoring syn-floods is very simple when it comes to keeping your server alive, but how do you deal with the bandwidth saturation?
The "each way" would indicate the syns were being replied to (dumb), but they still would have clogged the pipe.
My question is how this is possible without killing the bandwidth other servers on the subnet, namely ftp.sco.com and others? That was the original reason for the conclusion that SCO was lying, and I've yet to see something that refutes it
The other question, of course, if it was a DDOS, who did it? A group, or one person slaving many connections? Maybe somebody with a DS3 or two available to spare?
With the last two, one would think that the outgoing results of such an attack would be noticed?
Also, again with the main arguement that the ftp was online whilst the www was offline... why does the article say the FTP was down (and first to be attacked)??
Actually this might be a hard one... since music (while decreasing in profitability) is still highly profitable. That's what's most irritating about music corps, they're not complaining that they're losing money, but that they've lost profit.
I'd go with the theory that if electronics isn't above music... then it would be going up while music is going down.
All of the above read slashdot, and bitch about other who aren't of the same nerd sub-genre as themselves from time-to-time (the famous troll "how is *this* news for nerds")
It depends on if the names are close enough to create confusion. Being that Lindows is somewhat similar to windows in layout this would apply.
In comparison, if somebody started a burger chain called "WacDonalds" or "MicDonolds," you get bet they'd be up to their ears in greasy-burger-lawyers in no time, and they would lose.
They sell MP3 devices. In the future they stand to possibly profit more from these than the sale of music. Being an RIAA member doesn't automatically mean you agree with everything they say, somewhat like belonging to a political party.
The fact that the government is the one doing the collecting and distributing does not mean extra (or less) $ in my pockets than if the price of those blank media spiked instead for the same purpose.
Except that if it's the government - or a monopoly (such as province without private insurance), or both, then you have no choice but to pay.
If it's a store that has jacked prices for whatever reason, you can shop elsewhere. It's a little more extreme to move to another country though, which is the only way to avoid gov't levies if you want the product (purchasing out-of-country screws you with duties)
This isn't the only thing going on in the world of media, if you look at the copyright board of Canada, most of the upcoming issues are all dealing with SOCAN, CMRRA and the NRCC.
Included issues are: radio stations, pay audio services, radio, radio, ringtones, background music, and tariffs tariffs, tariffs
Isn't this a bit insane? I mean, tariffs on ringtones...? Looking at the recent news page you would think that the copyright board only deals with audio issues...
Yes, it is time for music producers to learn some new tricks, and stop milking the consumer.
If you want a brief description of each organization and various others, go here
Rise in traffic accidents (and you're not one of them) --> increase in your insurance to pay for it.
Paid to your insurance broker, not for to a third-party. In music-world this would be equivilent to putting the levy on commercial discs, not recordable media.
Increase in shoplifting --> you pay more for the goods in that store as prices rise.
Same as above. You are not paying the government a "shoplifting levy" at every store you buy from, you pay more on the merchandise in a particular store.
With some (Future Shop, par example), it is included in the cost of the media. You don't see it, and people are less annoyed by it.
With others (Londons Drugs) they charge the tax at the time of sale. You then get a bill a lot larger than expected (for CD-bundles), and many people blame it on the store rather than placing blame retarded laws and corporate hand-holding as it should be.
I think that having the tax inclusive is one of the reasons that people aren't awake/more-pissed-off about this. If everybody who bought CD's found that they increased by 25-50% at the point of sale, I think there would be a lot more of a push to have the laws repealed.
As somebody who buys the media to store data or legal music, I wonder if I would be in my rights to pursue a lawsuit for being wrongfully charged what is equivilent to a fine on anyone who buys digital media.
I've always wondered how this works with dirt. If you're not obsessed with having a shiney-clean looking vehicle, just splash enough dirt to obscure a few digits of the plate.
How good can these things OCR if an extra dash of dirt makes your 1 look like a 7, or your 5 an 8?
Any link to the patent? If somebody made a razor which uses a frickin'-lazer-beam or something similar I'd say it could be patented. Same for those electric razors which secrete foam (at least for the foam secretion idea).
I still think the best solution is to limit how long patents - particularly IT patents - have to live. A few years of profit on innovation are fine, but a lifetime is absurd.
