The spam is still coming down your pipeline, wasting your bandwidth. If you are checking these lists, you add waste more bandwidth (not a lot, if you cache the spf records). You will waste more cycles trying to kill the incoming spam. If your servers are prone to dying when faced with a lot of spam, this won't solve anything as far as I can tell.
Actualy, a lot longer than that. It'll take 25 years for them to tell you to reboot, you'll take 25 years to tell them that you already did that, etc... etc...
Yeah, the grocery store I go to has that. But, as I've found (through my absent mindedness, honestly), the easiest way around that is to just no scan the item at all. If the machine doesn't know that you have it, it doesn't know how much it should weigh. Unless it was something BIG (like a friggn lawnchair or something) the human safeguard would not catch it.
You are probably right in at least one regard. Right now, it is easier and more accessable for your average person to go to the super-store and buy a cd. But wait a few years. More people will be jacked into the net for longer periods of time. The kids born today will grow up with a mature net infrastructure already in place, and will probably be a lot more at home on the net than at a superstore.
The difference here is that someone actualy went into a booth and made the voting machine produce a hanging chad that we could all argue over.
Here, the posibility might exist that due to bad software design someone with nefarious purposes could come up with an exploit to poision the results and there not be a way to go back an argue over the evidence.
Might sound like a joke, but we might eventualy do just that. It's been theorized that eventualy some civilizations may build giant shperes around their suns in order to tap it's solar energy.

Yeah, "undeniably exciting" until you buy some wallpaper, and it gets infected with some sort of ad ware that turns your living room into a giant Viagra ad.
Latest thing? That sounds like NetBus to me. *shrug*
Face it, people have been breaking security measures since the first one was thought up, and someone is going to come up with a new security measure to try to fix the old one. LOOP.
The only people benifiting from any of it are the people breaking the security and the people who are paid to come up with the new measures. The rest of us are just left to be vulnerable. Always.
Yeah, but it's the US policies over the last 40 years of blowing stuff up in other people's backyards and then not sticking around to clean up their own messes that caused these people to start hating us in the first place.
It'll be something new and interesting the day the agents start formulating their own ideas about why something is happening in the sky, and then decided to let us mere mortals in on the secret.

The day star....... I've heard of that.
You are doing a reall good job at copy and pasting past comments for karma whoring.

Nice trolling

Too bad the government will have to buy the land from this guy before they can do anything on the moon. Heh...
There is no ice on the moon?

How about ale/beer?
You know it's true!

Anyone who wants some more info about this product can check out this thread at Synth Zone here. That's about all I can find on it right now.

It'd be a lot easier that block a user's dynamic IP. Simply suspend their account. Then you don't have to loss an IP from your pool.
So could WMD being snuck into the country. *shrug*

Yeah, and you can see how many time's the principal's single ends up in some closet with a student's.
Here are a couple.

Wonder how the agents decide if something is interesting or not?

Maybe this technology will automate slashdot moderation someday
Heh, at least it might taste better coming up.
