Imagine a Beowulf cluster of 7Ghz Nehalems working on the problem!
That should be able to beat just about anyone if the software is worth a shit.
And please don't mod me down for this, a Tbit ethernet connection over 12 inch cables should be fast enough with low enough latency, although it would greatly limit the number of machines in the cluster. It is both possible and relevant to attempt what I'm talking about, if Intel isn't just pulling pork talking about the Pentium-Pentium.
Oh, wait, that gets me modded down anyway. Intel is always just puling pork.
I've got one of those nifty 1000-button trackballs!
err... wait... that's 8.192 buttons...
err... I'm confused, I only see 8 buttons here. WTF! How are they gonna give me.192 buttons? They were thinking about a new one? It's on the board and implimented but there's no button on the nouse for it? WTF?! And wait, then where's the other 992, or 991.808 buttons?
WTF! Okay, this is going back to Best Buy first thing tomorrow, as soon as I get over how friggin' cool it is!
Damnit I hate being mislead, this thing is sooooo cool but I refuse to keep it; I hate being mislead!
I wonder, then, if they can make your cells play a micro-game of football with a micro-crowd watching; and of that micro-crowd will do the micro-wave whenever thier team scores?!
Why bother with an electric block heater for your car? You can't always find a plug, but you can carry a lighter in your pocket for your brand new Engine Candles! Never deal with another cold start again!
What is needed is a way to track total e-mails sent versus spam e-mails sent fron a domain prior to blacklisting a domain. That way, if five or six messages from a domain are marked as spam but five or six million were not, the domain does not get blacklisted.
I would be pissed if I sent someone an e-mail and they didn't recognize my address and immediately reported it as spam and got my domain blacklisted. If there was a way to refer to the total number of messages sent from my domain and it was seen that only that one message was marked as spam, out of several hundred or several thousand messages I have sent, my domain would not be blacklisted.
However, if I set up a mail server at biggerdick4u.biz and send a few VALID mails, then a bunch of spam, the percentage of spam sent would eventually reach 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%. Any of these would be good points at which to blacklist a domain. 10% spam kills it sooner, 50% gives the benifit of the doubt, and 90% says "okay, you're scum, shut the fuck up already!"
I think a warning at 5% and blacklist at 10% would be a safe way to go. It would let the "average" user know that the type of message they are sending is generally not wanted and give them a chance to change thier mailing pattern and it would almost immediately kill spam domains.
Just the percentages, however, are not enough. What is someone marks the very first mail you send as spam? then you have sent 100% spam and your domain get blacklisted. NOT FAIR! Percentages should kick in after you have sent 100 messages or so. This happens almost immediately on a spam domain.
There should also be a limit on how many messages a domain can have marked as spam before it is blacklisted. Something like one thousand should work. That way, a spammer can't sent out one spam to you, twenty valid messages (subj="hi" msg="hi") to one of thier own addresses (thereby keeping the level of spam below 5%). Once they sent those thousand spams, they get blacklisted. Again, a warning should be issued at 500 messages (half of the limit).
I'd like to see this done, and soon!
SUMMARY:
1. You can send 100 e-mails "free"
2. After that, you must maintain a spam level of less than 10% or one thousand messages total
3. Once you reach 50% of the limit, you will be warned
4. Once you rech the limit, you are blacklisted
The code was redundant, therefore did not need to be replaced. The kernel got smaller and probably a bit faster without the SCO PD cloat in it tho, I'm sure!
And when they see Open Office running on my machine, they'll pick it apart to figure out what features it has that made me choose it over thier office suite. Know what feature they'll never think to look at? Cost.
This could be used for good. It could be used to improve thier products, add features that customers currently have to go elsewhere to find.
However, until they see cost as a feature, they'll never consider lowering it to a level that allows the average consumer to run thier software legally!
I see information in this post. That would make it informative. I'm not a troll and this is not flamebate.
I know... "Anyone that says I'm not a troll is a troll."
Whatever. I read the blurbs, articles, and posts before I post anything. Forgive me for having ideas that differ from yours, but if I didn't why would you read them? The site would die iwthout differeing views, opinions, and ideas.
Actually, 2 is RAISE PRICES, claiming that you lost alot of money during the blackout, even though you used no resources, but the majority of your customers don't realize that a power plant only uses resources when it's generating!
Tax my broadband connection and split the tax between the RIAA and p2p companies? WTF!? I don't download RIAA sancioned mu-sick (not a typo), nor do I use any p2p clients. If I want to download something legally, I google for it or already know the site I'm going to get it from. Nothin I do online should earn the RIAA or any p2p company a royalty payment! Taxation without -- what was that -- representation? Represent to me how I am costing a p2p company or the RIAA money by downloading Slackware 9.1? Mind you, yes, I do use BitTorrent, which is, yes, a p2p client -- but in a different sense. My use of the software does not cost them any money, and I donated $10 and $20 for a total of $30 and I'll donate more next time I download a new version or get a new linux distro that I would have paid $60 for at a store.
You see, not everyone wants everything for free. I use the software, I donate to it. This does also include Slackware -- I sent them $5 and when I move the installation off of VMware and onto a PC, I'll likely donate more. I prefer to pay the compaies who help me get the things I use, be they groceries, software, hardware, or whatever. This excludes the RIAA because they don't write, produce, or even distribute the music. This also excludes p2p companies because they do not transfer the software to me.
I'll pay the company that made the product, the company that transported the product, the company that stocked the product so I could buy it, and possible any company that made it possible for the prior three companies to provide the product to me (if I feel those companies were not paid enough already).
There are alternatives to full price. Join a bulk-sales club such as Sam's club (not sure if they have those everywhere but they do in MI and OH here in the US at least), download that free software, but make a small donation. If you use a free service, please make a donation so that the service can remain free. If you don't donate (this is shopping smart -- think future!), these free and low-cost solutions will disappear only to be replaced by solutions that are more expensive than what we have today, which will lead prices on everything to go up.
SUMMARY:
Not everyone steals just because they can without getting caught
Even if something is free, you should donate even a small sum of money to every part of the supply chain to keep it free
This means it's not free anymore
But it still cost you less than the alternative
And this will ensure that it stays around
And even improves in the future
Which will eventually cause other prices to fall
Leading to a better, stronger WORLD economy
Whereas not supporting these free and low cost solutions by donating causes them to go away
Causing other companies to see the opprotunity to raise prices because there is more demand and less supply
Causing prices to skyrocket
Causing posts similar to this.
Damn! I guess they'll be able to justify the cost of DVDs then. I'll pay my $25 for a $5 piece of media if the extra $20 is going into a fund to keep the prices where they are when the new tech hits!
you know, I loved the idea of DOPL (data over power lines) hitting the US soon. They tried it in washington (DC or state, I forget) and one other state. It worked great. Then the FCC stepped in and said no because it may cause problems with other electrical devices.
Funny, they've been using this technology in many european nations for years now and nobody's toaster has exploded!
Isn't the FCC supposed to help to improve communcations in the US?
And now for my typical after-rant-about-an-evil-organization tagline...

And my girlfriend and I had the same problem on T-Mobile, my phone quit working and hers was fine. I was told to turn my phone off for 5 minutes at least once a week to prevent the problem. Don't think that really makes a difference except once it happens, so I don't do it. If the phone dies again, I'll ust shut it off for 5min and it will most likely work (it worked the first time, and they assured me it would work if it happened again).
I've downloaded 22.0MB of slackware 9.1 and uploaded 109.1MB. Can I close my download window yet? I mean, I have 203.2MB left to download, is it okay if I close it still?
Somehow that doesn't seem right -- having uploaded more than I've downloaded. Is this fair for dialup users?
