I hesitate to mention this, but it used to be that internet service providers provided these services to their clients. If you wanted a mailing list, you used your shell account and easy-mlm or majordomo to set it up. Now nobody has shell accounts, and the only way to setup a mailing list is in your own home server. If major ISPs returned to providing Unix services to their customers (or found some other way to host mailing lists and the like) that could solve a large part of the problem.
We have 8GB of RAM and I believe this is the root of the problem. The system explodes in pci_map_sg. Anyway, why are they using 2.4.22 for the installer? Most x86-64 fixes have gone into 2.6 and not been backported to 2.4.
See, you didn't address my point at all. D&B, and auditors, are good ways to screen clients. Social security is not a good way to screen anyone, because every jackass in the entire country has a social security number, even the criminals.
For fax spammers in the USA, we have a wonderful recourse. We can simply refer the matter to the courts and claim our treble damages with certainty of success. But for Sophisticated International Fax Terrorists(TM), there's little to do but bite back.
Sounds to me like this vigilante response is working perfectly. By putting pressure on you, the 800 service provider, the rabid posse is keeping the problem in check. You are highly motivated to remove the spammer and to not sign up their accounts. That seems to be the desired response.
I don't know anything about your business or the size thereof, but there are lots of ways to prevent getting scum for customers. You could only sign up customers with D&B numbers, require an audited credit statement, and so forth. Sounds to me like you want to not screen customers very carefully and also not endure the problems associated with bad customers.
I agree with your view here. The author claims "hey I made these great speedups with only a few passes at the high level" but a Targa decoder in C on a 3,000,000,000Hz P4 would probably have run in 10 milliseconds, even with the obvious implementation and no manual optimizations. I bet you could get it under 1 millisecond by using the SSE2/SSE/MMX/3dNow/Altivec or whatever vector unit was at hand.
There's lots of scam giveaways in this article. If the protocol "can be implemented" at the application layer, the network layer, or the MAC firmware, that means it *hasn't* been implemented in any of those places at all.
Okay, I admit the oil filter is poorly placed. I have small hands and it never really bothered me that much. But it is easy to get oil all over the engine bay.
Well I hate to point out the obvious, but the buyer has a lot of choice among cars. You could buy a BMW M3 with Xenon headlamps, electronically-controlled valve timing, and a computer that works the clutch for you, and it just might be difficult to repair the damn thing. Or you could buy a Miata (MX-5 outside the USA) which is the sort of car the owner can maintain. There's hardly anything to break in a Miata, it gets good gas mileage, it pollutes gently, and it will whip the M3 on an autocross track.
So if you bought the M3 don't go blaming BMW just because you forgot to figure in the cost of maintenance.
Lots of ignorant comments already. PlayFair is the same as DeCSS: it removes restrictions on fair use, and allows compatibility. Now I can play my paid-for iTunes songs wherever I wish, just as DeCSS allowed me to play DVDs anywhere.
Considering the vehicle would have been 32km downrange after 10 seconds, I'm fairly impressed. And I still haven't seen any mention of how they recovered the vehicle.
What about an object in a ternary system where the graivtation pull of the other two objects is so strong that the first object becomes oblong instead of spherical?
Pendantry strikes again.

Sounds like a window manager problem. My window manager (metacity) groups all GIMP windows together.
And a ferrari is larger than an orange. WTF is up with this headline? A protocol is faster than a signalling method. Great. To enhance the uselessness, the protocol's speed is measured in multiples of something vague, rather than megabits per second. Nothing turns up for "BIC-TCP" on CiteSeer, so we'll just have to guess until an actual journalist picks up the story.
LilyPond is "never going to get off the ground"? It's been around for years and is a wonderful tool that many people use. Quite a lot of music is available from LilyPond's format, including a huge library of music in the public domain, ala Project Gutenberg. I have myself set Arban's Method for trumpet using LilyPond. Your claim is starkly in contrast with current reality.
Furthermore, I find LilyPond's text format far faster for input than using a GUI. Like speach, music is an abstract concept that the human can nevertheless learn to set in a concrete form using a keyboard. Payware music typesetting programs also has a keyboard input mode, and most advanced users use it.
There's a reason the world's largest pharmaceuticals companies -- and some of the largest companies of any kind -- are based in Switzerland. They were founded there at a time when the Swiss had no patent protections, and the new companies made their fortunes by freely violating the patents of pharma companies in England. These are the same companies that today argue for greatly increasing patent protection. In my family we have a term for this, which is "I-got-mine Syndrome." It's an antisocial feature of the corporation.
I have no doubt that is true. But, that means NVidia is offering two products: a hardware graphics accellerator and a driver. With open source drivers all drivers would converge on the same level of quality, and the graphics card manufacturers would be left with only the hardware product. This might be good for both the manufacturers and the customers/users.
Please, it is extremely difficult to produce and market a wireless chipset. Only a handful of very sophisticated companies can do so, and those that can have already done so. Intel's driver has boring crap like ring buffers and queues. It doesn't have ths secret sauce. Take a look for yourself.
Intel makes $0 from the sale of their drivers. Also the marginal cost to produce a Linux driver when you already have 1) a Windows driver, and 2) a staff of Linux hackers is very much lower than "millions of dollars". However, the marginal cost of sales of Intel Centrino laptops to Linux users will be several hundred dollars each.
The economics are pretty simple. Probably some large client like Goldman Sachs or a similarly sized outfit wants to run Linux on laptops and told Intel to get their act together.
The relationship between SCOX and Canopy certainly seems, to us, like an abuse of the corporate form. I'd guess the SEC will eventually become involved.

I think the point is not the depth of the hole under the roadway, but the height of the piers.
It's much easier to detect that an account on your machine is sending millions of spams than try to control what's happening on other hosts.
WTF are you talking about? Doesn't the gigantic coax running from your house to Comcast's head office count as solid proof of being on the network?
Almost sounds like an advert. Comcast Internet is so fast, our virus-infected crapclients send out double the crap of the other leading provider!

Sourceforge already pulled it.
