Seems to work well enough from here, but on a slightly offtopic note, should anyone actually honour the referer header anymore? It's a horrendous privacy flaw. Mozilla/Firebird users can add this to their user.js to disable it:
It's simple groupthink. It usually happens the other way, which is why I always read at -1. I hate to think how many perfectly reasonable posts have been moderated under the "-1, Unpopular" carpet in this very story.
Or maybe because Microsoft would easily crush them in court - registration in bad faith, just like the (new) owner of that domain, russianhistory.org, could be sued for using it in bad faith.
There was the Battle of Hastings in England in 1066. Unfortunately, the native Americans did not keep good records of major battles in what is now America at that time, so I'm afraid we don't have much to go on there. But what is for sure, we are much better at keeping decent records than we were in 1066, so it is very probable quite a significant amount will be "on record" and known about by future historians, if not much talked about by the average person of the time.
Yes, come to think of it, I wonder if IBM, our favourite corporate open source advocate, would be prepared to open source it so it can be updated and ported. I really can't see Lotus shipping an awful lot of copies anymore to be honest, their biggest product now is probably Domino.
In the meantime, Smartsuite 5 works just fine in WINE.
It would be far more effective to simply drop any SMTP connections from networks in Brazil or China. Even better would be to actively scan emails for links pointing to that IP space, and dump any messages received. This would eliminate most spam from user mailboxes.
Alternatively, you can simply drop all SMTP connections from the entire IPv4 address space! That would eliminatate all spam from user mailboxes!
If you connect to the Internet by using a corporate network or if your Internet service provider (ISP) uses a firewall, ask the network administrator to configure the firewall to block inbound NetBIOS and UDP traffic. Contact your network administrator or ISP for more information.
A bit further on...
The Messenger service uses UDP ports 135, 137, and 138; TCP ports 135, 139, and 445; and an ephemeral (that is, short-lived) port number greater than 1024.
In addition to preventing net send messages, a firewall can also protect your computer from other malicious attacks over the Internet.
This is one of the reasons why I read at -1 (the other reason is because I like it!). In flame wars like this, the most unpopular opinions get modded -1, Flamebait (aka -1, Unpopular), whilst popular (and usually also incredibly illinformed) posts get modded +1, Insightful. Such as this post - from a person unable to even spell Palestine correctly. (We'll forget the fact that this entire thread should really be modded -1, Offtopic!)
Supposedly there are about 150 spammers doing the majority of the world's spam. I can't believe they can keep the entire world from eventually picking up the pitchforks. I guess they think that in order to control a thing, you must annoy it repeatedly for years on end?

Slackware recently dropped support for i386, as the ChangeLog explains (scroll down and look for the new GCC 3.3 packages):
Added the following test packages that we're not ready to merge in yet: testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-3.3-i486-1.tgz: This is GCC 3.3, compiled for
a minimum CPU target of i486. Why i486 and not i386? Because the shared
C++ libraries in gcc-3.2.x will require 486 opcodes even when a 386 target
is used (so we already weren't compatible with the i386 for Slackware 9.0
and nobody noticed:-). gcc-3.3 fixes this issue and allows you to build a
386 compiler, but the fix is done in a way that produces binaries that are
not compatible with gcc-3.2.x compiled binaries and which suffer a
performance hit. To retain compatibility with Slackware 9.0, we'll have to
use i486 (or better) as the compiler target for gcc-3.3. Therefore, it is
time to say goodbye to i386 support in Slackware. I've surveyed 386 usage
online, and the most common thing I see people say when someone asks about
running Linux on a 386 is to "run Slackware", but then they also usually go
on to say "be sure to get an OLD version, like 4.0, before glibc, because
it'll be more efficient." Now, if that's the general advice, then I see no
reason to continue 386 support in the latest Slackware (and indeed it's no
longer easily possible). People with 386 machines aren't going to have the
hard drive space for Slackware 9.1 in any case.

Kindly don't feed this troll anymore. It's obvious he doens't know what he's talking about - he's made false claims that Arafat and the Palestinian Authority is a terrorist/supports terrorism (which is untrue, probably got that from US/Israel propaganda without researching first), claims that the Palestinians don't exist (unfortunately there are a few million of them now, so they exist whether the Israelis and this jerk likes it or not), and notice the double standard when he claims that the Palestinians should have been annhilated/pushed into the sea etc., yet condemning the (foolish) attempt by a bunch of (foolish) arab leaders when they tried to do just the same to Israel in the late 1960's!
Unfortunately, this is a view held my many ignorant Westerners who know nothing of the situation, and blindly believe all the propaganda from the governments and the media, and flatly refuse to believe that Israel is one half of the problem!

BTexact did something similar ages ago (SMS for the blind, actually).

Ok, well here's a list of known battles between 1400BC and 600AD, and list of known battles between 601AD and 1400AD.

Take a look at the article below. It's incredibly worrying how many sites are still using vulnerable versions of OpenSSL.

P.S. I'm being sarcastic, but blanket bans suck.
They could just put a blanket firewall over their entire subscriber IP pool...
So if you break your jig, or it gets stolen, you can phone up and ask for a replacement.
I once snapped a software CD and I got a new one. Can't be much different.
I have just tried gaim. Disconnects immediately with the error, 'Protocol not supported'.

NuNames, the provider of domain names for the island of Niue, has been doing this for a long time. Is ICANN ask them to stop too?

Well, much that is taken care of by Hamas.
Which may go some way to explain why they are so popular.

Several companies have laid fibre there. The West Bank and Gaza has around 8 ISP's.
You mean you bother with a case?! I have systems that are just the motherboard and hard drive set on the table with a PSU plugged in!
