You probably don't have basements in Australia, what with needing those heavy-duty clamps to hold your buildings to the earth so they don't fall off. (See, Americans can be sensitive to the perspective of the rest of the world.)
Around here in the good old US of A, putting a few servers in a basement works well.
Also, last I checked, a US court ruling has no validity in UK courts. EOD. Spamhaus have nothing to fear from the court case except the threat of having their domain ownership revoked by ICANN (which in and of itself is probably illegal in some shape or form).
By "EOD", did you mean "End of discussion"? Because you seem to have continued discussing. EOT
Spamassassin is a really fun game. You see, there is this world-wide bot net run by the bad guys, and they try to send you "messages". You get to defend against their attacks. 1 points for every blocked spam, -1 points for each spam that makes a successful attack, -10 points for every blocked good mail. Lots of fun, and you really get to know your regular expressions as a bonus. The game never gets old because there is always a new twist to what is being sent. Send me your email address, and I'll sign you up to play.
I'll take that bet... let me get this straight -- you just bet that you are going to jail, right? Why don't you just give me $20 and we'll call the whole thing off.
Oh, and don't forget to change your SSN as well. And just to be safe, have that tattoo altered. Pick something else obvious for your dog's name. And for God's sake, change your luggage combination!
... we try to have our latest calls at 9:00pm in the US... although we are not legally obligated to to stop calling by a certain time.
As I understand it (and I'm no expert), FTC Rule, 310.4(c) and FCC Rule, 64.1200(c)(1) say you can't call before 8 A.M. or after 9 P.M. Can you imagine how annoying it would be to get a call at say, 3 A.M.? (And yet, that could be oddly effective, depending on your evil purpose.)
Saying "Take me off your calling list" to us kind of dumb because we don't have a calling list, we just have randomly generated numbers for a certain area(we call fax machines, disconnected #'s, businesses).
So you are hitting cell phones too? That can't be legal under Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, can it? Or is there some loop hole for surveys in there?
Anything with "IPSOS" in the title will most likely be a survey, and they are not all boring.
Boring or interesting isn't the issue. Unwanted waste of my time is the issue.
So knowing this, when every call we make someone yells at you, its a bit of a downer, so at the very least politely decline or ask to be put on our do not call list.
I'm happy to do my bit to make the job that much more of a "downer". If everyone would do that,
we wouldn't have to worry about these annoying surveys would we?
Or, if you have a bit of free time, do the survey, or ask them to call back on a certain date and time, and who to ask for if that would be better for you.
Tell you what, give me your home phone number and I'll call you at a time that is more to my liking.
As well, dont say "I'm not interested" half-way through the intro, be cause we might not want to talk with you, you may not be in our target demographic. If you do agree to a survey and you feel it is too long, try to bear through it, or ask for a call back date to finish it, but that option is not available for all studies.
Mightly particular about how we respond, aren't you? Here is a hint -- go frak yourself and stop wasting our time.
Very true. Unfortunately when I find my exact question, the most common answer I find is "why don't you google before you ask your question?" Good thing there are manuals!
In addition to scanning for wireless traffic, Williams says the computer can break most WEP keys very quickly by focusing all eight wireless cards on the access point. Using a combination of common utilities like airreplay, airdump and aircrack, Willams said, "When I use all 8 radios to focus in on a single access point, [the WEP key] lasts less than five minutes." However, he added that some retail wireless access points will "just die" after being hit with so much traffic.
...That would only make it an official right in that state...

If you're implying it means that the USPS Mail Service or email delivery is a "power reserved to the people" you've got some fancy footwork to do.
Pretty much everything is a power reserved to the people. I consider it my right to hum "it's a small world after all" endlessly. Oddly enough, you won't find that in the constitution (aside from Amendment X and the preamble).
The constitution is dealing with government power, and not so much two companies playing nice so you can get your email, but you are the one who dragged the constitution into the discussion.
Receiving US postal mail is not a "right". It is not listed in the Bill of Rights

Dick Cheney in particular uses a tiny piece of paper. I guess that is why W. gave him one of those loveable nicknames... little sheet.

More importantly, what can I block so I won't see anything from e360 Insight in the future?

5 will get you 10 they won't enforce it.
Bring it on.
Seriously, bring it on. Slashdot should be pink for October.
That would be helpful. There are entirely too many giant men walking about, and thinning them out a bit would be a blessing.
I'm a little surprised they don't unleash their nasties on Monday, before Patch Tuesday. It isn't like Microsoft could make corrections that quickly.

The Refrigerator Retirement Savings Calculator answers just that question. That old refrigerator some people keep for extra space can be pretty expensive.

I do, damnit, and I want details. The least Dunn can do is be as forthcoming as Perkins. (And yes, that is the same Tom Perkins.)

I have to disagree. The best way to create a non-functioning web page is to use Frontpage which is only available on Microsoft Windows.
Nope, you've got that wrong. It is actually my favorite song, so I'm going to upgrade right away!
