DShield does more rate limiting on how often they will send a complaint about a particular IP. IIRC DShield only sends a complaint for any one IP once a month.
myNetWatchman will send repeated notices if the problem is ongoing and meets their criteria for what appears to be an infected/compromised system.
The volume of, and variety of IPs in complaints we receive from mNW is greater than the volume from DShield. In either case, the quality of the data from both organizations is an excellent resource for those handling abuse/security issues for the networks they manage.
Your firewall logs are submitted automatically to either of these groups and then the data is correlated and complaints are issued to the responsible network providers. Speaking as someone that writes the code that parses complaints received from these entities (for a large network provider), I would personally recommend myNetWatchman.
I am so thoroughly disgusted with all of this SCO FUD!
I think we should all take some time out of our day to help fill SCO's mailbox/phonelines, so at least someone at SCO has to waste their time on something other than the quest to "end piracy".

I have a Toshiba that I bought after it had been a floor model for a year at a large electronics store. It is a 1997 model that I obtained in 1998. The thing is still kicking.
The picture quality is superb, and it even has component output, although it does not do progressive, nor does it have fiber output for audio (only coaxial digital audio).
It has survived five moves to new locations, including two years in a college party house with 5 guys abusing it on a regular basis.
I only recently replaced it with a progressive scan Panasonic because of my desire to be able to watch VCDs and SVCDs, and also to have progressive output for my HDTV.
It is now faithfully serving movies to my bedroom TV instead of my HDTV in my living room.
If this is only intended for client side use then it still doesn't address the issue of all the bandwidth that spam wastes.
Wouldn't it just be a better project to help all the idiots close the open relays on their servers? Or maybe require authentication on all SMTP servers?

Yeah, a couple people have thought of it:

I think that qualifies as very old!
I have found that a Pentium 4 2.4GHz can chew threw a unit in under 4 hours.
Disabling the screen saver feature vastly improves the speed at which a unit is completed.
All of this talk of human teleportation makes me think of one incredibly frightful thing! Micrsoft Windows 2310 - Teleportation Server Edition
