Heh, I don't think any of it is right. And I'm certainly not scoffing at it. As I stated before, I was stating facts, same as you have ('cept for your last paragraph).
But let it be known, whites are neither evil nor good just like blacks, indian (west, east or "native"), etc.. There's just been a long power thing between whites and others which have wound up with whites repressing/opressing others. Why? And I dont' mean the economical 'why'.. but 'why' as in, "we are all in this together" 'why'.
If I had my way about things, admission papers wouldn't use names or genders or interviews etc.. do everything via special ID #'s for college applications. No communicaton of anything ethnic. If you are part of a "poor group" you get put into that, and if you need to be chosen statistically for it, well.. you have competition regardless of race, creed, etc...
This COULD be a legitimate way of making spam obsolete. Turn it into humour, so that no one believes it, not in the fact that products don't work, but people won't believe the offer is real. Hrm....
Because, in truth, name any group that has not been racially opressed in America. Latino's? Jewish? Various asian cultures? Indian?
I'm not defending what has been said, but presenting facts.
The only thing white, as a race has suffered, is reverse discrimination. "Other" being favoured simply because "other" has been pushed down.
Nothing justifies anything in discrimination, reverse discrimination, racial remarks, "hate crimes" etc.. But now you have the reason why a white-discrimnitory remark is less frowned upon.. simply because there is less white oppression in the world.
you're putting him in a political position you'd like to imagine he's in.
I'm asking him WHAT his position is. RTFP.
But back to the original question which you've taken totally out of context. If he was doing things for a reason, I'd like ot know WHAT it was and what his position on these things are. No one is trying to make him Jesus. But you know what, never mind. Apparently, we should make up some lame excuse, such as, "I was not in my right mind when I wrote this program." And skip the question.
So instead of learning, conversing.. etc etc.. we should all hide in our holes and keep our mouths shut. After all, anyone who thinkgs different, or thinks better for the group he is in, is better off not trying to make a difference.
What are your view of ethics, morals and programming and your motivation?
Obviously, there is a problem with decentralized p2p that you solved. Is it the fact that there was a request, self-created, that you were solving? Or was it in hopes of doing something 'good'?
What are your views on working on other technologies that are on the fence, like DRM, exploits? I don't mean in terms of creating to be malicious, but for learning or for profit.
Continnuing on the blacklist problem. Even if it is geometric, what if an IP finally gets decomissioned, either via ARIN et al or an ISP for a particular user... now you have the problem of a user/isp having to figure out to talk to ARIN because they are black listed. Who do you trust when an IP should be reinstated?
It's a difficult problem, I know. Any system, for good, or for awesome.. or for evil for that matter, has its exploits you can't get around. Look at the Xbox. "You can't modify hardware!" But alas, you can.
1. Place rc car movable plastic cup of water on shelf over brothers bed. 2. Place rc car on shelf. 3. Leave early. 4. Drive car into water. 5. Hilarity ensues:)
Just one interesting problem. Let's say I want to spam your ISP, say, escape.com. I can setup my DNS a particular way, spam you directly. "Now it's escape.com's job to say, holy crap, he spammed me, blackwhole the fucker." Now that you've blackholed me, I can buy a new domain for about $8, and use that now. I've switched identities.
Now what if a domain expires? How does the blacklist get updated? When testsomething-001.com gets expired in a registry, we'll never know. Same if someone decides to reregister it.
Not a bad plan, but blacklisting is still a touchy subject. Any ideas for how to fix that?

Unfortunately, when the person spamming you spams people who likes said spam, you can't do much aboot it.
Disappearing? I disagree. Yes, a lot of phones have PDA options, and there are PDA's that work as phones, but until the right interface comes out that pleases everyone comes out and it becomes pseudo-standard, I think we'll see a lot of people using two devices.
Why two devices? Phones and PDA's have different technical requirements taht don't easily combine. A cell phone uses a minimal screen, needs about 12 buttons, uses audio and has a short battery ilfe. 2-5 hours talk time.
PDA's need large screens, and doesn't usually do well on typewritter input. Now-a-days, they need a better processor and all-in-all, needs to act more like a computer.
Right now, there are two devices that seem to do it near right, and those are the treo and the nokia phone that's an oblong clamshell. But even then, using it with a headphone isn't great.
But hey, it's my opinion. Quite a few people like the treo and it's dual use capabilities, but the earphone thing is what kills me.

There's a difference between volentary information and being spammed with it.
For instance, I get mail from a cow-orker who loves to send us a lot of junk mail. Problem is, I can't just write a write a filter or auto delete. One day, he's gonna ask me something, then report to my manager how I'm ignoring him.
I've also had some weird inverse. Currently, I gotta write a status report every day of what I do. I'm a programmer. I get projects that last me weeks at a time. Writing, "I wrote a function" is kinda.. lame.
So as much as information wants to be free, sometimes, it should just have a nice warm cup of "shut the hell up".

In America, it's the same. If you drive TOO slow on any road, believe me, they'll fine you for either endangerment or some other traffic violation.
Wow. An honest mistake... and berated for it. Go human race!
Hopefully, the proximity would have to be kinda close, like building passes.
Then again, you'll have thieves who'll get just a little too personal, IMHO.

I'm sure there'll be telco's who offer phones via computer to the real world, and use infrastructure to manage that w/o killing either networks.
