    So, you completely ignore the first article which is evidence of can-spam non-compliance (failure to honor removal requests in a timely fashion), and seek to discredit a post based on one URL used as evidence. Here's a thread with samples. Direcmag New York Times. Legitimate information is legitimate information regardless of the source. Your point is well taken however regarding the signal/noise ratio on NANA*.

  3. Digital Presidency? more like FARKING SPAMMER on The Coming Digital Presidency · · Score: -1, Troll

    Barack Obama's e-mail comapaigns are run by Blue State Digital described to me by a high-level Democratic Party official as "woefully incompetent"

    Barack's Take on Honoring Unsubscribe Requests
    His e-mails are also opt-in with no confirmation, allowing a spammer to abuse his mail server and deluging anti-spammers in abuse.

    Because of these, and other issues, the AHBL has blacklisted Barack Obama's campaign, and Blue State Digital.

    Barack = Spammer, end of story.

    Ooh, and I own the AHBL (disclaimer)

    There are products available, memprof, Coverity nessus which can be used to find and fix common forms of previous bugs. These fix everything from repeating previous security flaws (I note a previously unknown DoS flaw I found in Asterisk's skinny codec ages ago which emulated a bug in cisco call manager exactly, which I found with Nessus), to bad programming, or programming mistakes (Coverity), to memory leaks (memprof). These types of bugs are unacceptable, there are tools out there to detect them DURING THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CYCLE. I am not saying that you can fix every bug every time, but 5 digit numbers of open bug reports are unacceptable.

  11. Re:Leap Ahead on Intel's New Slogan Clarified · · Score: 1

    Other than being a marketing coup (which costs money running the marketing) the Centrino is outsold in the retail market by the AMD Sempron based simply on cost (you can't get a centrino in the $500-700 price point). Businesses buy it up in droves but as Dell adopts AMD (I'd love to see them pick up Via too), we'll see what happens.

  12. Leap Ahead on Intel's New Slogan Clarified · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't naming the strategy "Leap Ahead" a tacit admission that they are in fact, across the board behind? They are losing market share in every major sector. CPU's, Memory, Networking. I predict it will have to be a big leap, or we're going to see Intel face real competition. I also have to note that they might be better off if that $2.5 billion went to hire someone capable of making better processors. I also wonder how much the new slogan cost, per word.

    Casualty of war? I think they're saying they don't want your e-mail. The internet is an even peering system. My netblock is my castle, and if I don't want you to enter you and your SMTP traffic can sit outside in the rain. You are under the misimpression that SMTP is reliable, it isn't. DNSBL's don't make it less so, they make it more so by allowing administrators to reliably filter whatever they want, whenever they want, for whatever reason they want. And if they want to use SPEWS MAPS SBL, or the AHBL they can, because guess what it's their server.

  24. Re:Wholehearted Agreement on Paul Graham Describes Dangers of Spam Blacklists · · Score: 1



    Worst of all, many RBL's (including ours) pretty much block any dynamic IP pool as "dial-up zombie hell"--but a lot of these IPs get reallocated to broadband as DSL coverage grows, and we end up blocking genuine mail routers and SMTP relays instead.

    We have a process for requesting the unblocking of an IP, but about 30% of the time the answer is "tough luck, pal. You (or your client who is trying to reach you) is blocked and we aren't unblocking you." There is no appeal process; if one of our admins decides not to unblock your IP or IP range, you can't reach any of our customers via email.

    What, you don't maintain a local whitelist along with your blacklist? Exim Sendmail Postfix Qmail and others all support whitelisting. If it's blocked and you don't want it blocked, whitelist. You don't have to use the lists we supply verbatim.

    I've seen dosnets on IRIX, Linux, SCO Unix/Openserver, and Solaris. Windows users are not the only ones running infections. Ooh yeah, the guys hitting unix are usually far more skilled than those using cookie cutter exploits to mass-infect windows machines, meaning that though they don't hit harder, they may hit smarter.
