I had a friend pricing out some equipment in Best Buy as well as all the other chains, when he pulled out his pda and started writing down prices for the things he was going to buy, store security rushed him and escorted him to the door.
Ever wonder why IM has taken off like it has, you don't get fucking spammed.
Blacklists suck, they don't work. Blacklist an ip address or range and a new guy gets it and can't send mail, real fucking smart and real fucking frustrating to be the admin, use the reverse domain name all you want, but don't involve the ip address.
Do you think ISPs want spammers, spammers are a pain in the ass to deal with, they are the squeeky wheel at an ISP and they rarely pay their bills after bitching about everything.
An extension to smtp and pop3 is needed, smtp stopped working years ago and people now ignore their email, often you need to call someone to check their email and search for you amongst all the spam in their box.
I'm an admin, not a programmer, but I would do it this way if I was a programmer.
mail is received, the host starts out with a zero rating and the user does as well.
A global bayesian filter then ranks this piece of email, the email is then delivered to a users box with the rating attached for the domain and the user.
The user may sort by this rating to filter out spam from non spam, it is optional at this point, but if the user is using software with the necessary extension, the user can then check if the email is spam or good and have the domain's rating adjusted slightly, and the user's rating fully in the negative or positive, if negative the sending user will not have mail accepted again unless someone uprates the user.
If enough complaints arrive from the sending domain, the domain is blackballed and cannot escape since multiple users have decided that this domain is sending inappropriate email according to the TOS of the receiving ISP.
So, to be more specific, sorry to make this so long, but maybe it will inspire someone.
Connection established with port 25, reverse checked for presence on blackball list, if present drop connection silently. No reverse also gets dropped.
Check for from line with specific user name, if user is on blackball list drop connection silently.
Receive email and grade with bayesian filter using global ruleset, this filter cannot blackball domain or user no matter how much it looks like spam, but can make it nearly so.
Deliver mail, if user confirms mail is spam, blackball user and downgrade domain further, this may actually blackball the domain if enough mail is sent and the filter grades it badly enough (based upon average grade).
Since Dialup and DSL connections do not control their own reverses, it would be trivial to add a simple filter that would refuse mail delivery from these sources, except from their own isp, and then the outgoing mail would be run through a filter, if the rating dropped for the user into negative territory as reported by receiving servers the user would lose their bulk smtp privledges and have thier outgoing mail throttled in a severe fashion with all mail containing bcc and cc mail rejected, and the number of emails per hour limited to stave off potential damage.
The SMTP extension comes into play with a network of these mail servers, blackballed domains would be automaticlly sent to a neighbour in p2p fashion, but ratings would only be accepted if the neighbour server had a valid key, that would be exchanged amongst admins and a network of trust would form. If a domain becomes blackballed, a user/domain notification takes place alerting that site to the fact mail from their domain/user is not being accepted, at this point an admin could get involved, but my guess is that more often than not the domain will remain there.
I do know how they spell it, it's another annoying product with X in the name just to look cool. I could see marketdroid masturbation in action when they thought it up.
I know it's a cut down kernel, but in a virtual environment it wouldn't be a problem if the hardware looked the same, think of. Yes, you would need a copy of whatever is on the harddrive to boot it, as well as a copy of the rom in a file to run inside the environment. As an example, you have an nvidia card and intel processor, most of the native instructions could be passed through to the hardware to speed execution. Possibly not initializing the second processor in an smp system and using it like a coprocessor for the xbox app, dunno, I'm in way over my head here. In any case that would be the only way I would actually play xbox software, and microsoft probably knows that and doesn't really care.
No use for a slow intel console, hey I'll buy a CD32 and a CDTV to go with that XBox. Since the xbox uses an intel processor, with stripped down windows (from what I know) why not make an xbox emulator for the pc. I don't know what the xbox software want's to see when run, but somehow someway it must be possible. A wine xbox emulator, that would piss microsoft off:-) Did I mention how I have no use for a slow intel console and it ain't going to be the center of anything in my house.
Nope, you nailed it, that sounds about right here too(FL), you should declare all purchases made out of state and used in the state, no one does tho. Considering we have no state income tax here, we should probably pay it.
Funny thing is I never watched cartoons, but would watch nick at night after getting home. One night after work Zim was on, that show was really pretty good. I watched it from that point on, it seemed to be set in the modern world and not some utopian idea of school, they nailed everything. A room with a moose was great and I'm not sure why, just something wrong with that moose. I haven't seen anything like it on tv since.
I had a 1250 as well(same year), I thought it was an average score myself as I knew people with higer scores and not many with much lower than 1100.
I still don't accept it, I fell asleep in the middle of the test and never retook it as it seemed to be good enough (I was not a stellar high school student, did really well on tests, all my assignments were done in the previous class just to turn something in to avoid a "0")
Sorry to break it to you, but we only had one Andrew in 1992, and it was an exception to the rule. Old Florida houses seemed to survive intact (single story, concrete tile roofs, cement block construction) while the newer developments turned to match sticks (more or less wood houses on cement pads).
The older houses have survived many hurricanes, and that is the only threat we face other than a few tornados.
Andrew was a catagory 4-5 hurricane with official measured windspeeds of 145-175 mph, they speculated the wind was actually faster as the windspeed device was ripped from turkey point nuclear power plant, but keep in mind this is a once in a lifetime type deal (knock knock), the once in a lifetime deal for Cali will likely kill tens of thousands and cost billions more, we lost 15 people, 25 billion in damage.
Well in that case you'd have to go turbonet, as someone who's had tivonet for a long time it makes a huge difference with a SA tivo even if you don't extract video with it.
Don't hack if you can't afford the finest lawyer in the land...and... what your hacking into will net you enough money to hire the finest lawyer in the land so you end up even when caught. You will sooner or later get caught, be prepared.
The best hackers are not socially inept cave dwellers, they are electronic conmen, friendly people who will rob you blind while your watching and smiling.
I'll just go back to books, if they make those hard to get in paper form, I'll write my own and put them under the gnu license.
I could really care less if they make my tivo illegal, I haven't bought an hdtv due to hdcp, and likely won't ever, same with their "special" pvr or a series 2 tivo for that matter. I might go back to hardware hacking, I enjoyed that more than watching their programs anyhow.
If they don't want me to record and store for future enjoyment don't send it to me! I haven't read too much on itunes, but that actually "seems" like a pretty decent deal.
Ok, let's say around 6 and a half trillion in debt is accruing intrest, and they're paying.
How much is that leap second worth to the debtor? How much for the creditor?
Now imagine slacker code monkey omits leap second calculation, chaos breaks out cats and dogs...you get the idea.
I'm not exactly sure, but I bet they compute interest to the second on amounts like that and round down payouts on the bonds, three-quarters of a penny is hard to deposit, but I bet it's counted. I want a red swingline stapler all of a sudden.
Yes, you could get the red batteries that went explody in anything they were used in.
I think it was a ploy to get the unknowing consumer to buy more shit..and.. you would only get a single freekin battery at a time after they raped you for every ounce of personal information.
Brings back them good memories of the past doesn't it!
Go three decade club!....oh shit I'm getting old..
Why does Slshdot have so many "I'm persecuted by the man", when you grow up you might just be the man (directed at the article poster).
I still don't understand why people insist it's their right to steal. Please, take a moment to understand information is not free, it takes time to create and as they say time is money.....and....
If a company doesn't sell something according to your terms and conditions, don't buy, or even steal it. It really is that simple, look at the catastrophy of divx dvds, movies didn't vanish when divx died.
To play devil's advocate here. The record companies need to slog out a whole bunch of pop trash to publish the good stuff, so they do get pissed when you take their revenue away. They make that on the pop that no one ordinarly would buy if it wasn't on MTV and ClearChannel in heavy rotation.
To the pissed college kids with a 100Mb LAN connections in their dorm, you're spolied, you don't work, you aren't starving, you have a roof over your head. You will understand the meaning of strife when you enter the real world, even if it is just looking out the car window on the way to your ivory tower.
This is not in deference to those who worked through school, balancing fulltime work with school is arduous.
Betcha IBM could sink MS in a patent lawsuit contest, if Billy screwed with their big iron Linux, oh that's right Linux is Linux, Billy better pick on Sun and Oracle as he has in the past. Google seems like their best target right now, unless IBM buys them.
Well put, a degree is a piece of paper that shows you were obedient enough to attend class, memorize the texts for short periods of time, and possibly code something trivial to pass, march in step, don't ask questions.
I feel the attention given to the college degree has decreased its value. Far too many people believe the way to the [insert fancy import car] and huge house is a degree. [Paste death and taxes rant here]
College was not high school, you should have learned something for the amount of money you spent, then using that knowledge, apply reason to your world. The rest of us figured it out after having to earn a living after high school, in my case it was building and installing computers and networks (actually that's why I dropped out, money calls).
I'm glad the jobs are moving off-shore; it will make it easier for me to hire people at a low price with "prestigious" college degrees and certifications a dime a dozen.
So it may not be working out for you, but it is for me.
One last thing, NAFTA should include all the Americas, while I may not care what occurs on the other side of the planet, I would at least like to see everyone in my hemisphere have a better life.
If you'd like a really strange movie this is it. Excellent music, aliens who vapourize people, flying cars, time traveling missing people, Gov't conspiracies, what more could you ask for?
Well, Ive been thinking about this and attempting to put something together, but your post got me thinking. Most of these newer computers don't use hardware modems anymore do they? This would present a problem as I spent a fortune on an external for faxes on the Linux box here (I haven't used a modem in years), ack, software modems do suck! Unless I could get the evil empire to donate windows 95.....eh who knows
what is the easiest way to keep tabs on all of the activity?
Well, Office Depot has an excellent selection of tabs, I prefer the plain clear ones, but they also have packs of the colored ones................
When I fist ran across the problem of monitoring servers, I downloaded every one I could find, got free trials of all the commercial ones. I ended up with netsaint, not because it was better, but because it did exactly what I wanted it to do and nothing more. I wrote a couple of little modules for some switches and I was in business. I needed monitoring yesterday, so I didn't wan't anything too complex, I needed something with a GUI for others, hey it worked....
Micro$oft announced today that their premier security solution has been shipping with their products since the days of DOS, it has typically only been used by computing professionals and system integrators. A Micro$oft spokesman explained the tools power, "This utility makes even the buggiest applications seem as if they were never a problem" the spokesman then procedded to explain how this tool improved application security and reliablity by infinite margins. When asked if Linux had a similar tool, the Micro$oft spokesman sheepishly said "Yes, but fdisk doesn't provide the same rich feature set in Linux as those provided by Micro$oft products." The Micro$oft spokesman then started drooling while mumbling something about synergy and TCO.
Well there is one of those Radio Shack service centers down the road from me, I have went in there before and asked to see a schematic before and they let me see it, I know that sometimes this doesn't work, but give it a shot.
Since most computers people are throwing out now are at least 486 level machines, why don't we get them back in working order, put a minimum Linux install on it with a browser and mail client and give them to people who can't afford computers. Most monitors are also usually repairable with a few dollars in parts, with the schematics it's usually something that can be quickly fixed.
Is there an existing non-profit organization that could start a thing like this nationwide? Also, you could write you time off on your taxes at the end of the year if that mattered to you.
