It's trivial to put in rules to only accept ssh connections from specific IP addresses. Perhaps you might consider only accepting connections from your customer's IP's, or doing the reverse and blocking abusing IP subnets.
This will kill two birds with one stone. Write unit tests for the codebase. You will learn the code and learn what it's supposed to do well while you're doing it. Further you'll be in a better position to make changes without breaking the existing functionality.
The version of Ubuntu I tried gets high marks for a great install, but low marks for usability. The cd burner doesn't work at all, the archive manager and file system explorer both have horrible bugs and very poor usability design. That they're choosing to put my documents at risk further emphasizes their poor judgment at the leadership level.
I've worked at companies that had both extremes. It's a sign of poor management but that's their job not yours. If you find it too offensive to put up with then leave. Just be aware the next place you work at may be the other extreme and that's MUCH worse for you
After reading his story I can't give him any credibility as a deep thinker about intellectual property. Sorry, don't mean to dump on your favorite author.
I didn't see him as a "filthy greedy novelist". His opinions are probably what's best for HIM, not what's best for EVERYONE. If he had the best of intentions for everyone his perceptions and intelligence are limited by being a finite single human. He's not well known as a thinker, and his profession gives him little credit in that regard. I have serious doubts about his opinion being worthy of more than casual consideration.
In my long career I've never heard anyone advance the first two arguments, and only one manager ever required we comment every function. This guy must have just had a difficult time finding something to blog about if this is all he can post. Can you guys posting this do some vetting? Please?
>if you can't figure out how to relay through the ISPs SMTP server maybe you shouldn't be setting up mail servers.
Why do I want the cable company, or any third party with something to gain by selling information about me, reading my mail? Is privacy something difficult for you to understand?
Why should I be penalized because other people are abusing the system?
If the cable company wanted to fix the problem they could do it easily. It would cost them money, and you're the one who'd benefit, so they don't bother.
I've implemented a grey list on my own server and it works much better than what many commercial email services provide. It takes no effort to maintain, cost me nothing, and has very little cost in terms of resources. Spamhaus is careless, foolish, and in bed with people that pay them. You've either got poor judgement or are a sock puppet if you're sticking up for these guys.
I run my own email server for privacy and educational reasons. Spamhaus has gotten into bed with big companies and they tell everyone to ignore all email from anyone using a cable modem. You're on the public block list not because you sent spam, but because of your IP.
I want video of you having sex on the internet. I want your home phone number, social security number, and address too. After all, you have nothing to hide because you're not doing anything wrong.
>if an implementation of a language incurs on average of 10% overhead, your hardware will catch up in a matter of months.
If you leave out cost and the advantage of being 10% faster than your competitors this might be a fine argument.
Why did this thing not get designed with continuous feedback on position instead of a closed loop with cumulative errors?
Also, it's not the computer that sucks at math. It's the guy who decided a cheaper programmer was more cost effective than a good one. Turned out not to be a very wise decision.

From the MSDS:
"Chronic exposures may result in lung disease (silicosis and/or lung cancer)"
etc. I don't think this is a very well thought out argument.

Surely I can find a place where anything is illegal. How did these judges get into office again?

half the times you visit you don't click, not half the visitors don't click. A lot of times the news is not interesting to me so why bother.
I don't get fear of heights at 30000ft... At 30ft it's another story.
Should be easily dealt with in court.

LOL! Thanks for clearing that up! :)

and why do we care about his opinion? It's trivial to find an "expert" who will give you any opinion you want.
Thanks. I wasn't aware of some of the politics behind this.
and spamhaus put me on the pbl as well. (I don't send spam)

I second this. If your boss is that stupid looking for a new job is probably an excellent idea.

There isn't something all white you could be doing instead? Priorities man! Priorities.

Mnemonic techniques work well, and will help you keep your brain active and healthy longer.
Agreed completely!
