If going with option #7 to prevent being blacklisted, then you should also protect your customers by using an aggressive DNSBL to block spam for them. I suggest spamcop as it's logic is designed so that there should be barly any false positives, except where users report mailing lists.
People who say 'they should have patched' do not understand the stress that installing a patch however critical on a few hundred servers, then in many cases rebooting them, can put in a commercial environment.
A city-powering microwave plant that took electricity generated in space (the moon?) became avaliable in 2030. Perhaps the brains behind the game were not so far off with what seemed far fetched ideas.
The postal vote only trials showed a not unnoticable increase in voting compared to areas that did not try postal voting. I dont recall how many of these were spoiled votes, though.
I would be concerned if it lead to some people treating the election as they would a slashdot poll, selecting whatever took their fancy instead of a considered decision as to who want to [not] represent your opinion [that means fuck all to them].
I would like to see online voting used for referendums for things that would otherwise not be brought to the public vote, though.
The cds will probably still "cost" £10 to buy, and the same measly sum of cash will go to the artists.
Something is being done, but it will still be the same scam the record industry currently is. Only when 75+% of the fees go to the artists will I but cds at current prices.
Well, sort of. I installed Netscape 2 for the fun of it and to relive my first intenet memories and swiftly uninstalled it as it was well... hopeless. I swiftly discovered my url.dll had been deleted and I had some real good 'fun' finding it again. Thanks Netscape:/
easy transferral of home directories among devices and the Web
Keeping copies of your home directory on the web at the moment would seem to me impractical as many/most 'home users' still use a 56k modem which would make synchronisation of anything more than your office documents a bit of a joke.
Once you have broadband then you encounter the problem of web storage and assosiated costs. Most providers won't let you host illegal files to cover their own arses, and more than a few hundred MB is rare on most traditional web hosting packages. I see a market for a premium file mirroring monopoly here, jump onboard before AOL takes over!
I can see IPv6 being phased in in the next couple of years as the IP problem becomes more intense and NAT becomes even more of a royal pain in the backside. What I don't see happening is twenty years of maturity (in some form) being tossed out the window. It would be a shame to see existing protocols being dumped because they arn't secure - most of the time it is the IMPLEMENTATION that doesnt work or has flaws. Many software packages should be scrapped altogether and rewritten and designed from the top - sendmail is the example that comes straight to mind. So many flaws have come out over time it is silly. I'm not saying SMTP itself isn't flawed though, it most certainly is.
The people at PlanetJailbreak have designed, from scratch, on paper, the UT2003 version and the work has appeared to have paid off - an incredibly low number of bugs from their alpha testers have been reported. Where there have been many flaws in a package based on a fundamentally old codebase it should be rewritten totally, regardless of it being server or client software. The problem would be getting people to adopt - many people never patch a thing.
Like the usenet spammer/advertiser I saw today that had a VALID but obfuscated email address set (for the company he was advertising). Amateurs.
Ralsky got what he deserved, and hopefully moving 'on the quiet', if he did move, cost him alot of money. I read this article earlier today (didnt think of submitting it myself) and it made alot of sense. It IS all too easy to get yourself on these lists and your life is made difficult getting off them (digging about for phone numbers listed in a 500 page catalogue's small print...) - if you were subscribed to even 100 of these you would have a mammoth task to get rid of them all.
Tax PRINTERS? I really like the idea of printing my pirated albums off in binary onto paper. Only when I see a home printer capable of printing money, including security measures, will I see a need to restrict printers.
Now if only console manufacturers would get behind emulation development for vintage consoles. Sure, you can still buy games for the SNES on eBay or your local odds and ends store but none of that money will be going back to Nintendo or the developers. Actually on thinking about it much of the nintendo GBA catalogue...
At long last, I'll be able to delete my spam from everywhere!
Thats my kind of night taco! An evening in the pub with a drink in one hand and a PDA deleting spam in the other... I mean, girls come second to spam any day!

You speak the truth. I help out in my school library, and the computer I use runs OSX. The light wand I use to scan books I swear must be at least six years old, if not longer, and runs through some sort of adaptor to plug it into a USB port. Technology that works.
We are always told every few months the earth is overdue a major earthquake, eruption, ice collapse, comet or other worldwide catastrophy. If it happens it will happen, but for now I'm happy where I am away from any of them.

But one gripe I have is that they have dumped the chooser for some connect to network location thing. I may not use Macs much, but at school I have too and having to fumble about with an unfamiliar inferface when trying to get onto my shared folder is a pain. Adding to the functionality should of been a priority (it was quite restrictive imo) - not replacing it.
Once the opponents come 'into the mainstream' then as night follows day the pro-legislation campaigners will start shouting their side of the corner. No doubt they will shout louder and as the mainstream always works, the person who shouts loudest usually wins over the public at large.
/. a sympatico cable modem. Next time use your head:) - If he caught it in time before his poor innocent home pc burned out he would have changed the ip on dyndns.org... if not you've just used his bandwidth quota for the month.
Developers recently have been getting fed up with security "advisories", that include an exploit, being posted on most "security" websites before they have even been notified. Unfortunatly this leads to many script kiddies getting their kicks from "owning" a popular site before they have been patched, and probably many of the websites that exist exist purly for this purpose. Sendmail are just the latest people to fall victim from this.
What use is the ability to sue spammers when you dont know who they are or where they live. Sure, The Spamhaus ROSKO Project will give some details on the big players, but chances are they already have their operation sorted out 'legally' offshore already.
I was going to say they had stopped supporting NT4 anyway so were within their rights, but I looked it up and it appears they are providing NT4 hotfixes until the end of 2004. Either way, a service pack or something equally dramatic for one flaw I think is overkill and blocking port 135 on a firewall is a better option.

The golden web awards are even more of a joke - they will give their award to any website of any quality. A quick google gives one small thread about them. Isnt it ironic that a scam website has one too
