If you are using Oracle and Java you already gave
up on "easy". If you choose to use plugins
that only work with a particular browser, instead of using protocols and methods that are more portable, you deserve what you get.
Cost shifting happens everywhere, watch for it
in your own efforts and life can be easier.
I run a company mailserver with remote clients.
We use SMTP AUTH and they send through our work servers wherever they might be, so we are able to use a strict SPF record.
SPF has much to do with anti-spam. It isn't a magic
bullet, but there are no magic bullets.
TXT records are no different to your firewall than any other DNS request.
Normal SPF records fit in UDP DNS requests.
Looping could be a problem, but it is a resolvable one.
sendmail.cf is amazingly flexible, I'm rather certain that it could handle at least one level of SPF parsing.
What you are describing is SMTP AUTH. It works nicely for sending e-mail.
SPF is used so that the receiver can verify that
the host it is receiving the e-mail from is
authorized to do so for the domain, thusly:
SMTP server gets connection from zombie.bigISP.com
zombie claims to be sending mail FROM example.com
example.com's SPF record says that zombie.bigISP.com is not authorized to send mail for example.com.
You get to refuse to accept the mail, mark it as spam, or whatever you please with it.
Simple, eh?
Most importantly, SMTP AUTH makes SPF easier because it lets you have your remote users use your authorized mail servers without making them open relays.
Odd, isn't it, that if oil refineries were slaughtering birds as a normal part of their operations the greenists would be all over them, yet when windmills do it, it's quietly ignored.
What do you mean, if. They do, as well as amphibians and mammals about the place.
We need balance. Wind+solar+nuclear+biomass and we will do OK.
If there weren't valid uses for SUV's they wouldn't
have the tax advantages they do in the US.
Still: 2-4 passengers, several CF of tools, you could probably get by in a VW Jetta wagon or be comfortable in something just a little larger.
A diesel Jetta wagon would get you 38-48 MPG on your
commute, and still get you good mileage with 4 people and a bunch of tools in the back.
But did you even think about getting something smaller than you did? How often do you use the full capacity of your vehicle? Is it really worth it?
And his numbers would have been acquired from sources as old as the early 80's. Solar is a different beasty today, and especially when combined
with wind and conservation is running within competitive range with mains power for people in many areas of the country. In part this is due to removing transmission costs from the equation and generating the power on site.
As for storage, deep cycle marine batteries are the quietest and relatively inexpensive small site storage option, and running lighting and small appliances from a DC chain improves efficiency even more.
You can even lose the wasteful AC-DC converters used by so many appliances that are designed for DC but have to run in AC wired households.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
The technological achievement necessary to
properly trash just our own solar system would
encompass a Golden Age of mankind beyond your
wildest dreams. To not move forward is a sad indictment of your own small mindedness and lack of faith in your fellow man.
Right, we shouldn't colonize Mars because it is too difficult, and besides we might turn it into a barren wasteland (unlike the barren wasteland it is now...)
When humans first migrated from the warm climates of Africa, the cold climates of the north (eg. Europe) and south were quite hostile. But humans managed to colonize those areas, using their cutting-edge technologies of fire, shelter, clothing, agriculture, etc.
All of this can be produced locally.
This is the answer to "why Mars and not the moon?". It can be produced locally. Mars has enough of an atmosphere to work with, some water, and the surface dust/sand can be used as a soil base or to produce building materials.
Yeah, it's no walk in the park, but it is doable and worth doing.
True enough. Most of the stuff going on right now
pales next to the worst abuses of the mid-20th Century.
What we are seeing, however, looks troublingly like
the setup for those abuses that was done in the
early 20th. Heightened powers with lessened accountability is a surefire recipe for trouble.
Sorry dude, If I can get 0 degree salt water to run Fahrenheit, I can get ice. Also, the temperatures of ice and boiling water are more stable, so I can make a better thermometer that way.
Idiot. The military and the US people are THE SAME.
The general population is positively loaded with trained soldiers. We call them veterans.
You seem to be laboring under the misconception that the government and military are omnipotent just because they have bigger guns. In addition you seem to think that the 5th army will gun down American Citizens en masse just because they are ordered to. Odds are good that if the situation deteriorates to the point that the army is involved, the army itself will be split by it as well.
POSE SOMETHING THAT WORKS. POSE SOMETHING THAT FIXES THE TERRORIST PROBLEMS.
OK. Let's behave in the world in a manner fully consistent with our principles. That would go one heck of a long way to fixing the terrorist problems.
Osama Bin Laden was trained and funded by the US and Saudi Arabia to fight against Russia as our proxy in Afghanistan, regardless of his beliefs and any future security risk to us he might have posed.
If we just stop doing stupid shit like that the terrorist problem gets reduced dramaticly. If we stop deliberately antagonizing the rest of the world it might go away completely.
The army can't live in their tanks and planes forever. Strike from under cover, melt into the countryside and cities, don't give them a "hard target" to hit. The problem then becomes one of swatting flies with a bazooka, yeah, you'll get a lot of flies, but you'll burn down your house and there are _always_ more flies.
With your defeatist attitude, you might as well go vote for Bush, after all, the election is rigged anyway and they might come after you if you vote for the wrong man...
I _still_ call bull. Evidence: USA, Mexico, Most of Africa, Vietnam, N. Korea, Poland, Palestine, India and the rest of the former British Empire. Yeah, going up against the 3rd aromored Div with popguns sure sounds suicidal, but all those pretty tanks do not guarantee victory.
Oh, and Bush isn't trying to bring in a "New American Century"? The Pat Riot Act and Gitmo Gulag aren't attempts to get unaccountable, unlimited power for the government?
Hey, if it works for the Iraqi resistance, why couldn't it work for heavily armed accountants?
What you are presenting is the helplessness fallacy, and in the case of internal military action it only applies if the government CAN use the army
against you. This may be impossible for numerous reasons, but is one of the reasons the Constitution is set up to support a heavily armed populous and a weak army.
As far as WWII, they were fighting against countries with unarmed populouses, they were _only_ fighting
weaker armies and navies, and then Russia and the US crushed them.
As far as beating superior force goes, look at the huge number of _EX_ colonies out there and tell me it can't be done. What about Afghanistan? Checnia?
Opt-In also implies a method to Opt-Out should
you decide that you no longer wish to recieve their
offers.
Therefore, the thing to do is to "unsubscribe" from their service, documenting everything the whole
way, and when it fails you have proof that can stand up in court.

Standards compliance and the KISS principle will get you a lot farther a lot easier than OS and Browser specific tricks.

Of course, if I have to choose between having useful e-mail and having e-mail forwarding, I'll lose forwarding.

Petroleum is not necessarily "fossil" derived, Titan has hydrocarbon fuels in abundance.

1. It didn't come this way (I use KDE also)
2. The menu is still location specific.
3. With multiple desktops and edge switching neither do I.
