I agree with this. An ISP that willingly harbours spammers is not a useful member of the internet. If they make an effort and block spammers then they'd be taken off the blocklist.
But the people running mailservers with this blocklist on them will stop receiving mail from TDE. This can be seen as an unfortunate downside of trying to get a message through to TDE that their policies about spammers are unacceptable.
Of course, someone running a mail server could always run the blacklist without the TDE entry.
whoo, so me turning my XBox (with no games, cept the free Halo) into a webserver hurts microsoft. Cool.
Certainly good for me - low-performance webserver for 160+soldering, with reasonable graphics and sound. Was thinking of using it as a DivX player, but needed a webserver...
My room is starting to look like that. Ive got: firewall (P133) file/web/dns/mp3 server (pIII 700) Qube 2 (MIPS 250Mhz, 256Mb RAM) xbox (soon, going to be a webserver, moving to DSL line) modem (urrrrgh) 16-port old switched 100mbit hub (donated) dual-monitor desktop (not always on) laptop (always with me)
No pictures though. You arn't a true geek unless youve at some point abandoned the idea of screwing everything into a case, screwing the case up and running it neatly. My firewall spent 1 year in a drawer, the server's got hard drives attached to every ide channel (3 hd's and a writer) with hd's laying in the bottom of the case.
I find it difficult to believe its got a WINGSPAN of 55 feet.
basically it consists of a fuselage and two vast engine nacelles. The 'wing' is the 4-6 feet wide strip between the engines and body, plus a tab on the outside of the engines.
I imagine wherever you got the data from counted every horizonal surface (aka the entire plane bar tail) as 'wing' - it all generates lift, but wing is traditionally the bits that arnt in the main fuselage or engine nacelles.
anyway, who needs wings when you can just vector the thrust down a bit?
Ive got that. I played it for about 3 hours, thinking that i'd get used to it. I didnt, and spent the next 2 days with a headache whenever I thought about it. The hardest bit was flying into a large room, having a bit of a fight, then spending the next 10 minutes trying to work out which of the 5 door you came in.
One copy of descent 3 for sale... hardly used!
I'm sure I read that they're cooled by venting heat into space. They must radiate (after all convection or conduction isnt going to work) so therefore they wouldnt need to be particularly big. No Point in sheilding them either really. Therefore I assume it will break up in the atmosphere... and as stated plutonium isnt going to cause much of a problem spread out. Might cause public panic though.
Is is possible to send the shuttle (well, its replacement) up and strap a booster to kick it into escape velocity? Probably not worth the money required to do so though.
well, i'll probably be dead by the time the reactor lands. Maybe thats what the satellite controlling peeps though too. Seriously, what do you do with a nuke reactor in orbit without enough fuel to reach escape velocity?
flying at 5,000 mph, you'd basically have all the body lift yo'd need... the SR-71 (aka Habu or Blackbird) uses small wings and is very specialized.
The SR-71 has tiny wings, and consists of 2 huge engines.. it also leaks fuel onto the runway until the body heats up to running temperature.
The point being that the SR-71 has a very high take off and landing speed due to the small lift per mile figure. It will fly straight up and over a thousand mph until the engines run out of oxygen at nigh on 100,000 feet.
A aircraft using the scramjet capable of 5,000 mph would have to have very small wings for low air resistance and wouldnt need large lift per mile. The ScramJet wouldnt work at low speeds, therefore the runway would have to be very long to take off using a conventional JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) unit to get the ScramJet working. Getting a scramjet off the runway is going to be interesting!
BTW, what engine does the proposed (Active?) Aurora reconissance/spy plane use? It's supposed to have a very high speed (~3000-4000 mph?)
Seriously, ive lost more backups data than the data that it was supposed to be gaurding. At work, the server dumps important directorys and network shares to cds once a week, plus whenever requested... and ive lost more cds and the server's raid-1 has never crashed. If the server catches fire the situation might be different i suppose. Backups are less reliable than the backed up data usually anyway.
what about putting all the users on a email client that doesn't support javascript/external image loading/evil VBscript etc.. and just shows the html/text?
BTW, i use a linux firewall (dedicated distro) and internal computers run linux. an internal computer running windows is not allowed access to the net (its there for games). I havent had a virus problem yet.
what do you want to bet their numbers will come out higher than AMD's scheme? remember Intel's complaining about amd's scheme when it came out?
now, a standard numbering scheme, preferably about the same performace per number as AMD's (seems quite good to me) would do. It'd have to be ratified by some independant entity.
Any new processor would be put through this test, say 32-bit MS office automation + 3dmark2003 etc... lots of apps to prevent optimizations and a 64-bit test (XP 64-bit?). Yes, linux will work on anything with the same software etc, but windows speed is what the unwashed masses will want.
each processor would then be issued with a 32-bit and a 64-bit performace figure.
Yes, ok, it'd be wrong because of this, that, and the other I'm sure someone will come up with, BUT, it'll de-confuse the masses. probably.
hmm i tend to inline my form (style being a stylesheet) but i do bring it out if im coding for work (rare now we've hired a new web designer) and try to code logic then display. Ill try to be better infuture after changing my website over to xhtml (lowercase tags, gah).
That was a bastard, as i kept finding random s and things in error-handlers... actually getting a xhtml compliant page worked 90% of the time, but all the weird error handlers and things and particularly things with postdata broke it... and finding that with a xhtml validator is a bugger as you can only pass GET data not POST....
in short, I do when coding code that'll be maintained, for weird throwaway stuff or small stuff, i dont bother (dont look at my house server's code)
i'm a tech, and I have to treat the customers as dumb, otherwise I find us getting out of synch, or assume the customer knows what an icon is or something. The problem being if you treat a user as intelligent, they'll catch you out by not bothering to tell you about something i would regard as blindingly obvious.
For example: I was talking to a user who was trying to set up one of our mail accounts. When i tried to talk him through outlook expres setup, he irately pointed out that he'd be and engineer for 5 years and knew what he was doing. He tried to tell me that there was a problem with his mail account, despite the fact that I logged int it fine. It turns out he'd broken his DNS somehow, and my standard debug procedure, had he acted like a dumb user would have been far faster.... can you send mail? no? can you see our web page? no? your problem.

Do I now have to plug in a modchip emulator?

Wouldnt it have a problem with wing size?
