  1. Re:Workable mail solution.. on What Happens If You Don't Pay for Goodmail? · · Score: 1

    Yes, its a cat and mouse game which would lead me to more complexity in the reply I expect. also, this setup does not work for for mass mailers unless you yourself remember to go in and whitelist the domain you expect to see mail from. Also, periodic checking of the pending doesn't hurt.

  2. Re:Workable mail solution.. on What Happens If You Don't Pay for Goodmail? · · Score: 1

    The only way around it is to know who is on my white list. They could fill the hold queue up quick as hell, but I am not worried about that. And I do prefilter like I said for the obvious, and they would have to have an return email address that had a smart enough system to know how to reply to get one mail through at a time. and I would see my inbox getting spammed and blacklist em.

  3. Workable mail solution.. on What Happens If You Don't Pay for Goodmail? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is something I have setup and have had great success with. Aside from the spam filters I get that are obvious "P3NI5" and such in the text, I have setup an auto response to anyone not whitelisted. Basically, if you are someone not on my white list and you send me a mail, it goes into a holding queue and sits for 5 days (like a spam folder but different in my setup). Any mail that goes here gets sent a auto-reply that basically ask them to send me another email with a confirmation string or the option to go to a web form and enter the email address they sent it from. This will grey-list the email and allow one from that sender through. From that point, I can see its grey-listed and choose to white list or remove from all list or blacklist. If I remove it, they have to repeat the process to get it through again.

    Always being right boost his ego a tad I would bet.. Btw, forgot a couple!! BSD is dead ( not true at least though) MS is Evil! Linux rocks!

  5. Re:odd on Square Steps Back from 'No FF on 360' Remark · · Score: 1

    Square never released FFVII and FFVIII to PC..Those were both done by Eidos who licensed them for PC release. At the time of release square has never released for more than one console at a time. They have in the past years done re-releases of many old classics though.

    To not EVER get successful or they will have ample reason to patent your holes to where you can't afford to fix em.

    Maybe software pirates as a whole should get MS to sign a deal with them to not sue over distribution of pirated software and to provide protection to those they serve it too.

  8. Re:Don't see the allure.. on How Big Will the iPhone Become? · · Score: 1

    Most military installations (where I work) do not allow headsets anymore either. You have to either have speaker phone or radio patch. Reason for this is that the headsets some people use cause reduced hearing even when not on the phone from the direction of the headset.

  9. Re:Don't see the allure.. on How Big Will the iPhone Become? · · Score: 1

    I've always been able to use the number pad by touch. Usually the 5 key has a little different feel or a dot in it so you can associate all other numbers from it.

  10. Re:Don't see the allure.. on How Big Will the iPhone Become? · · Score: 1

    My phone is patched through my radio so its hands free for that.. I just need to be able to answer without having to look at the phone. I hardly ever dial unless at a stop while in the car.

    I want buttons.. Real touchy feely buttons. I can learn to navigate buttons in the dark, while driving and in numerous situations where I don't want to LOOK at the phone.

    Never did they change the laws of physics. They took those laws and figured out how to work within the confines through engineering.

    Well, adaption and mutation go hand in hand. There is nothing to say a animal species could not adapt a similar trait that in time could kill off its existence.

    This for 1. sounds almost like a bad vendor lock-in and 2. Any time you alter something, you have the possibility of a long term result you couldn't plan for.

    Google is in bed with NSA and has tools to decrypt all these emails on the fly. Might surprise you when you get child porn adverts when all your child porn email was encrypted to I bet.

    Been paying attention lately? Cut backs in the military to the point we can't even afford to put body armor on our troops? Somehow, I think Military funding already IS the issue.

  23. Re:Once again...not new taxes on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 1

    I feel exactly the same as you do about that. Maybe they could federally tax the internet sales and in doing so, reduce the load that states are required to tax by using more Federal money to contribute to state programs.

    Until you have some not able to previously mobilize super power like China on your door and you can't fund troops to fight back. Government is more than just politics. I wish people would realize such.

  25. Why oh why.. on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 1

    Do they feel the need to tax access usage when I already pay a fee monthly for said access. They don't need to try and find a way to tax specifics of the net. If they want to get revenue, put a Federal flat tax like FCC on the access method so that its spread out to all customers fairly. Mom and pop with business class DSL will pay more than Joe who only needs 56K to download his emails..And of course, Microsoft will pay heavy tolls for all its bandwidth. Also, I feel if they do this tax, they should sell not unlimited but bandwidth packages. There is a difference in having 10Mbit down for casual browsing and 10Mbit down for media consumption junkies. They could tax the method via flat tax and tax on a curve the bandwidth useage and keep it fair. I'm against taxation of anything and everything that can be taxed in general, but if they have to do it, I hope they do it right and in a method that creates an overhead the tax itself can barely fund.
