  3. you need to factor in the spam's bandwidth on Lycos Declares War on Spam Servers · · Score: 1

    if this technique raises the cost of business, and hence lowers the number of operating spammers, i be the net will be a lowering of total net bandwidth usage, even when consisdering the targetted crap flooding of spammers. spam is HUGE these days.

  4. Re:Horrible Idea on Lycos Declares War on Spam Servers · · Score: 1

    with about 20 seconds of thought you could get around this problem, by for instance making the clients only hit a site a limited number of times before having to go bac kto the server to get some more authorizations. essentially, have the server give out hit tokens for particular sites, the clients grab those and spend them by hitting sites. so in your case, the spamers redirect to lycos, lycos removes that url from the list so no new tokens are generated, and after all the clients spend the token they already have cached from before, wellah, they stop hitting lycos. if it took me 20 seconds to figure that out, you'd think lycos would be smart enough to do something similar.

  5. conservative/liberal doesnt matter on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    the trend holds across counties that use the same machine type, so if "conservatives are simply 'conservative' when it comes to agreeing to participate in exit polls" you'd expect them to be so in all polls, not just areas where they electronically voted.

    "conservatives are simply 'conservative' when it comes to agreeing to participate in exit polls when they voted electronically" doesnt make much sense.

    though i understand from dailykos's discussion about this that these districts were largely "dixiecrat's" ... registered demo's who vote republican. aparently the way their votes are tabulated this year has a similar distribution as 2000. ...but i didnt check their numbers, so i havnt made up my mind...

  13. seriously... on Java Desktop System Review · · Score: 1

    i wish they had just taken Ximian's Industrial and added their own branding/colors to it. this is one of the ugliest themes i've ever seen. its kind of annoying because i think having sun pushing linux on the desktop is great, but there are going to be thousands and thousands of people who will think linux looks as klunky as that. oh well, this is a 1.0, i'm sure it will get better and more consistant with future releases

  15. another good example on Expose Metacity With Expocity · · Score: 2, Informative

    another good example is Pure Data (pure-data.org) ... this is the original visual audio programming language, and its open source. its rediculous to clain innovation is somehow conclusively tied to the license that the code is released under, when its clearly mostly dependant on the author. sure, open source projects often clone ideas from closed source, but closed source clones closed source, and closed source clones open source all the time.

    Don't post if you dont understand, jesus. All versions of redhat are free software, open source, publically available, get it? All you pay for is *support*.

    Q: You mentioned licensing - what does this mean? I thought Linux was free.

    A: Except for a few components provided by third parties (for example, Java) all the code in Red Hat products is open source and licensed under the GPL (or a similar license, such as the LGPL). So you always have free access to the source code. In fact you can download it from our FTP servers at any time. However, Red Hat does not provide free access to the binaries of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and these, combined with an annual subscription to Red Hat Network, access to upgrades, and a selected support services, are the components that Red Hat bundles into each Red Hat Enterprise Linux solution. Since every Red Hat Enterprise Linux product includes support for the system on which it is installed, Red Hat supplies the products with a per-system usage/support subscription. This simple model ensures that systems which useRed Hat Enterprise Linux are able to access the maintenance, services and product upgrades to which they are entitled. Of course, as mentioned before, this has no impact on your access to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code.
