Ah, I see what your getting at. I meant that spamassassin would be lighter weight if it could be easily plugged in using it's api, so mail servers could run it inline (in the same thread, instead of forking a new process for every message). I don't think there is a good way to block at or near the source, spammers would be able to control that to some extent. It's going to be up to the reciever or his hosting provider to filter spam until some other method comes along.
Its also an executable, so it has to get itself into memory, do some work, and clean up for every message that comes through. Which is slow. It needs some kind of filter API.
We are building on advanced work at Microsoft Research in fields such as machine learning â" the design of systems that learn from data and grow smarter over time.
Precision shooting. (high power rifles)
I like sniper rifles (.308/.300 win mag). There are a few ranges around here, not too many over 200 meters though. This is an expensive hobby. Good optics and ammo are not cheap.
Archery
I got a big compound bow last fall. now im shooting 5" groups at 25 meters. (unless the wind kicks up)
Wilderness survival
The weekends are for bushwacking. This is not your weekend camping trip folks. I'd like to do this every weekend, but large wilderness areas are at least 10 hours away.
Ocean kayaking (well, lake michigan is no ocean)
I have a little kayak that I like to take on rivers and the ocean when I can.
Kicking all Forms of Ass.
I'd sell ass kickings on e-bay, but they already banned that kind of thing, right?
Wow. I'm a damn redneck if ever there was one. No really, I'm not. Theres other stuff I like to do, like chasing girls, but I didnt feel like listing that.
until some business is impacted significantly. That is one of the more elaborate attacks I have heard of, and it looks pretty large scale as well. I'm not an expert on the FBI's policies, but I dont think they would even consider looking into this until after significat damage is done. I'm guessing you have been here:
http://www.cybercrime.gov/reporting.htm
to report a 'cybercrime', and were directed to another gov. agency, who could care less.
Its pretty funny that the tech support people asked you to go file a ticket with their site. Thats just dumb. Calling them should start a ticket right away. Any security issue should be reported up to the sysop, who should take some action if they value their job at all. Most of the time I have found that many employees of big ISPs are technically inept and don't put much effort into dealing with problems. I have been a customer at a few service providers who went very quickly into chapter 11 after finding out about an attack like this too late. One was kind enough to inform us that attackers gained access to all of the Miva merchant accounts (online store, credit card info, etc). I was glad we were using paypal at the time.. Your ISP will probably realize too late that they are about to buy the farm.
I think this plane missed the internet boom by about 3 years. I try to spend my time on a plane in quite repose, a short and much needed break from the connected world. No really, how long will it take for them to ban first person shooters during flights. Seriously. If my buddy is about to be sniped by a Georgian rebel in Ghost Recon, you can bet I'm going to shout "Turn and BURN! You got one on your ass! Shoot that M* F*!" really loud. The I'll remember Im on an international flight and not in the Ural mountains on a recon patrol. So will there be strict rules about gaming on flights?
All of the 'for dummies' books are crap. They discourage thinking and are weak on detail. I guess that works for dummies though... Programming in general is not for dummies, if you are really a dummie and have an IQ of 10, dont quit your day job. You have a better chance at advancement as a dishwasher. There are enough dummies out there writing code as it is.
Damn, I am really not getting old am I? I'm 25 right now, still the youngest in my company. I dont think younger coders are faster, they certainly dont produce quality code quickly. They do show less signs of burnout. I always get the feeling that they are excited about what they are doing, where as I am more cynical of the whole thing, having survived the long hours and insane deadlines of the last days of the internet boom. I think if I was being interviewed these days, I would give off the impression that I dont Care about your Stupid Company and its Stupid little projects. How much vacation time will I be getting, and is your compensation worth my driving all the way out here every day? 4 years ago, I did not even take vacations, work was my life and I enjoyed it. I think the older we get, the more time we want to live our lives outside of work.
man that screen is small. I dont know why they dont make it the size of the entire mirror. I also dont see what the big technology breakthough is. Or isnt there one?
"...it's probably not a good idea to draw a GameBoy out of your pocket on a Friday night in a public place."
GameBoy or not, playing games by yourself in a public place is a sure sign that you are a loser. There is no 'coolness factor' to hand held games, so whip those gameboys out in public and fsck everyone else.
and this is not the best way to put all those tax dollars to work.
People in poorer countries need our tax dollars to buy our weapons so they can kill each other, so we can go in and rescue the ones that couldn't afford our weapons.
probably wouldnt work unless there was an extreme density of cheap wireless devices. Something like this is far off down the road, although it is feasible in high density communities. If we had lots of money to throw around, local goverments could provide the wireless access in medium to large cities. Central government could cover rural and smaller towns. This is far flung to say the least.
Large corp. users would probably want their access to be more secure and reliable, regardless of how secure and reliable a global wireless p2p network would be.
I agree. Any reference to Zion brings the Israel/Palistine conflicts to mind, and any story that portrays the Zionists as heros won't go over well in a primarily muslim state. Even with Egypt being so progressive and all, they are still at the mercy of public opinion in the middle east.
Sorry, I was laid off with most of my team in 2001. I was getting tired of long hours, low salary, little recognition, but the job was a lot of fun. I was a few years younger, less jaded then... I am now working on business intelligence stuff, which is pretty well hyped these days, but pretty boring. I dont see games development anywhere in my future, except maybe for fun.
I was a high school drop out with 2 years experience as a diesel mechanic (something I also got into with no education). I was taking a network communication class at a community college. (routers,bridges,protocols, etc..) The professor teaching the class was a project lead at Midway games working on a network tournament system. He needed someone to do basic network stuff, punching cables and helping the sysadmin. I took the job, found I had nothing to do most of the time, so I started programming on the development systems we had sitting around in the lab. I did a lot of unix shell programming for utilities that the team needed, started working on servlets and reporting tools for the server side of the tournament system. Then I took on a project to replace the expensive,buggy,inflexible oracle client interface to a servlet/web based admin interface. This was the first major project and basically immersed me in programming for about 6 months. I got promoted to junior programmer or somthing. Eventually we all got laid off (16 of us), some got jobs in house working on MK and the sports teams, I went off to work on open source java stuff. So basically I had no experience, took a crappy job, and continually showed promise.
SCO? I sincerely hope not. Is unix a trade name or trademarked? Can I go out and buy a product called "Unix"? Where do they sell this Unix? I dont think the open group has a leg to stand on here.
Offensive and inlammatory comments follow:
The SIMS? This goes to show what complete stupid cows 99% of the computer using population are. How anyone can really get into a game like that is beyond me. This is almost as baffling as the popularity of 'Reality Shows'.
Fat does not make one fat either. What makes people fat is that they are friggin lazy, and consume sugar like its going out of style. Most people dont know what sugar is: Corn, wheat, starches, peanuts, soft drinks (corn syrup), etc.
Fatty foods don't really make people fat either. I eat plenty of meat and fatty stuff.
So if you think you eat healthy and your diet is mostly grains, your wrong!
People are fat because they are taught how to eat with a food pyramid, the base of which is mostly grains. Most common grains usually turn into sugar when they are metabolized. Anyway, thanks for reading at -1(offtopic)
he was pretty useless. They taught him how to use all the nice gear, but thats about it. Well, he had no talent, it sounds like 99% of the people there with him were the same way. Smoking weed everyday, learning f*k all, having nothing to show for it when its all over. Game programming is just not something you go to school for. I got an entry level job at a big game company, worked my way up fast by showing the ability to learn quickly. 2 years later I was a senior programmer at another company. No degrees, no certificates, no fancy overpriced schooling. Chances are after going to a school that focuses on game design, you will be sick of games by the time you are finished.
I think he is actually hitting some of them with something to get them to shatter. Um, how this article got posted I cannot fathom. He must be a friend of CmdrTaco's or something. I did enjoy the railgun stuff. Thats a little more mature.
I tend to wrap the edges of my cds in a few (hundred) layers of fine carbon mesh to keep them from flying apart. Works for the extremely high speed flywheel guys. Can't wait till I can weave it out of carbon nanotubes. And make sure your CD reader/writer is sealed in a vacuum chamber. That helps.
There are plenty of women in the US Army. Just not in combat positions. This game is about combat, not logistics, intelligence, engineering, and any number of non-combat positions filled by women. Lack of glorification makes non-combat positions no less important.

they just said it was hand held, they didnt say it they dont have to stick it up your ass..
I guess that makes my 700mhz G3 iBook a big fat white paperweight. If anyone wants it, ill gladly trade for a g5 powerbook or better...
