    A work-around is to have IE7 fib that it's IE6: User Agent String Utility version 2 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?Fa milyID=9517DB9C-3C0D-47FE-BD04-FAD82A9AAC9F&displa ylang=en I know this *should* have been a simple menu option in IE7 as it is with Opera.

  5. Re:SORBS on ORDB.org Going Offline · · Score: 1

    He may already realize that. I've seen lots of people use the terms "bounce" and "drop" to refer either during delivery (in-session with connecting/source IP address) or else after DATA / message delivery. The former is of course the best. The sending server should be configured to copy the whole SMTP error ("bounce") message to the sender's inbox.

  11. Re:Why MySpace? on School Official Sues Over MySpace Page · · Score: 1

    What's the difference in terms of responsibility/culpability and appropriate punishment? When they say a woman is a lesbian, is it a "large difference" if they also present a doll/mannequin that looks like the woman? Or a picture of the woman? An edited picture of the woman? If they post the picture online or to woman's realname.com? Is the "large difference" if the website says "I am a lesbian" instead of "Lesbian" ?

    I read it assuming MySpace, children and their parents were being blamed. FO with the RTFA.

  13. Why MySpace? on School Official Sues Over MySpace Page · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If the children describe their teacher as a %(*#^@! on a piece of paper and make photocopies for possible viewing by lots of others, should we blame whover made the paper, whoever delivered the paper, the tree pulp, the copy machine, etc.? If the paper is a webpage, should we blame the site's registered owner, the webhost, the ISPs, all the hops between the server and anyone who can access the page, whoever provided the PC's? Suing MySpace for kids pages containing claims of dubious veracity, defamation, libel, etc., reminds me of the idiots who waste resources suing gun manufacturers.

    Another new defining term for an enemy is "possiblelinktoalkida"

  16. Re:And? on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Settle down and stop being such an impolite asshole. I asked the question because I want the reader to think through the absurdity of appealing to international law while at the same time supporting a country that defied its protections by creating a new term "enemy combatant" for those with even a percieved tie or link to terrorists (and sometimes based on the vague allegations of another country).

  17. Re:And? on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Unlawful? According to who's law? Those people who were wrongfully taken to CIA prison camps and tortured for years upto the percieved legal limits of the word "torture" were lawful citizens of another country but percieved to be terrorists, in one case percieved by a third country, Canada.

  21. Re:The easiest way to eliminate most spam ..... on Spam Detection Using an Artificial Immune System · · Score: 1

    To avoid false positives, I recommend using a regex generator for spamvertized variations of common spam terms.
    See http://public.kvalley.com/regex/regex.asp
    Fore example, to allow viagra but detect most of its spamvertized variations:
    (?!viagra)(([v])|(\\\W{0,2}\/))[i1l\|\\\/!îíìï:;]( ([a@àáâãäå^æ])|(\/\W{0,2}\\))[gqp96][r](([a@àáâãäå ^æ])|(\/\W{0,2}\\))

  22. Re:I gave up on Spam Detection Using an Artificial Immune System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I recommend joining the SPAM-L mailing list of 900+ email admins and ask for opinions on "challenge response" (C/R) spam fighting systems. Sending a confirmation message to the alleged/purported sending address *is* spam when it is spoofed/forged (quite common). The only way to ensure sending info back to the connecting email server is to do so /during/ the SMTP conversation.
