Just take IH-35... then you can have coverage while you sit in a traffic jam going through Austin.:) (Yeah, I'm in Austin. Yeah, we need a bypass.)
I switched away from AT&T mainly due to their crummy coverage throughout central Texas. I'm surprised that you haven't been able to roam onto T-Mobile around 281, though; they've got a much nicer coverage footprint around here. The day I went out to Enchanted Rock and was able to see (but not use!) their signal was the day I decided to switch.
Having just switched from AT&T to T-Mobile after problems with lousy coverage and being annoyed with their (past) roaming charges (in this day and age, roaming in Cincinnati, OH shouldn't incur roaming...) I'm hardly inclined to defend them, but if you'd read the article in its entirety you'd have noticed that they no longer charge any roaming fees at all for people on their National plan.
I've managed to get a mirror up; http://64.5.58.149:81/ in your music player of choice should work, as long as I don't lose my connection to the main stream...
The internet is no less a society than the physical one that surrounds you. Just as in real life, rules must be implemented and enforced to ensure that malevolent individuals do not ruin things for the whole.
Your DSL provider requires POP-before-SMTP? That's pretty pathetic, considering that they run the network, and thus should already know which netblocks they should relay mail for...
Edwards grew suspicious because some of the spam being issued to him was also addressed only to a number of users within the bigpond.com domain, indicating that the unsolicited mass emailings were being sent to lists of BigPond users.
Why give them the benefit of the doubt and consider that this was simply the work of some relatively intelligent spamming software, designed to maximize its connection to bigpond's SMTP server (by sending the body of the message once with a large list of bigpond address) when you can accuse the cruel corporate ISP of selling customer data?
Now why these spams included target addresses in the headers of the e-mail (something SMTP absolutely doesn't require) is up for debate, but I think we're jumping to conclusions here...
Your arguments make you sound like an antagonist from an Ayn Rand novel. Tell me, how much intellectual property have you been personally responsible for?
In light of your efforts to sound authoritative in this matter, might I suggest that you spend less time studying ways to rationalize theft from people like myself, and more time studying ways to actually contribute to society?
So, um, the important question... what kind of IO are you putting into these nodes?
CPUs are great and all, but if you're sucking data through a soda straw (i.e., anything less than a good hardware RAID) those CPUs aren't going to have much to do...
I've been ready for three nubile young women to start attending to my every last desire ever since I hit puberty. Now where the hell are they?
Here's a hint: the stock market isn't an easy game to be played. Go stick your money in a mutual fund that's managed by someone competent, or invest in a well-run company that's got a long history of success.
And if you think you're too good for that, you may as well just cut me a check, because in the end your money's just going to end up in the hands of people less foolish than you; how about we cut out the middlemen? I'll even draw up some stock certificates for you to frame.
Did you even/look/ at the rest of the page that informed you that your site was 'Pornography'? Did you happen to miss the little 'Review Site' button right below that it would seem should solve your little problem quite nicely?
I find it absolutely hilarious that your first words were asking if you could sue them. Such typical overly-litigious bullshit, far too common in this day and age. Besides; shouldn't you, a typical slashdot moron, be repulsed by the idea of a senseless lawsuit? Just click on the fucking button and take the easy way out.
If this is how you function normally, I really have to question your ability to provide competent, useful solutions to your clients.
I now await your second _Ask Slashdot_, entitled "Can I sue slashdot trolls for libel?"
Me and Blue Cross, my good man. See, I'm responsible enough to have health insurance... relying on my government to take the money of others in order to pay for my health care just isn't my thing.
It's called "taking responsibility". You should look into it.

I'm working on a mirror of the pretty pictures. It's available at http://leela.lasthome.net/maps/.
Sorry, guys... lost my connection, and haven't been able to get back in.
Heh, I was wondering that myself, but the original sounds just like the mirror...

The security conscious users that you describe should be using PGP/GNUpg, thus making the danger of a compromised SMTP relay virtually irrelevant...

Put your money where it'll make a difference; join the Electronic Frontiers Foundation.
Maybe you should use those degrees to read what a post says before you go attacking it.
I'm now ready for better returns.

Just what we need; publicity for the kiddies responsible for the DDoS.
Jsut on a sidenote though, why are we measuring traffic in numbers of T1s? That's so... uh, 1990s.
Uh, no, the fact that the market will bear what the record industry charges is what sustains these "artificially inflated prices".
Go pick up a basic economics book, and realize that physical items aren't the only things that cost money to produce.
Stop stealing music, you inconsiderate, selfish moron.
;D
Go buy it from Apple, instead.

/somewhere/, remember...
The money for socialized healthcare comes from
My guess would be that whole 30 frames/sec thing. :)
Gee, uh, how much research do you think that research school of yours will be able to do without any bling-bling?
Like it or not, giving away software doesn't usually fall under research. If they're paying your salary, suck it up and deal with it.
