  1. Re:Why does he think it's spammers? on DoS Assaults Underway Against Spam Blocklists · · Score: 1

    So why is it that every time i've tried one, it blocks out half of my legit mail, including my slashdot passwd e-mail when i first signed up?

    It's almost as if you are comparing SPAM to terrorism, using a word like harbouring. Everyday people shouldn't be doing anything about spam. The executive branch of our [USA] government should be enforcing the laws against it.

  3. Re:solution on DoS Assaults Underway Against Spam Blocklists · · Score: 1

    Everyone I have ever talked to claims they HATE spam with a passion... So, my question is, Who are the people that are clicking the banners, who are the people clicking the links. It seems to me that there can't be that many people doing it, if everyone hates it.

    So, these services figured out how to non-effectively block spam, now they should release something that non-effectively blocks DoS attacks.

  5. Port on IBM Releases Compiler for Power4 and G5 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Are they porting it to SCO?

    Yes, that is exactly what I said. Microsoft is making spaceships and sending people up to die.

    Hmm, that's funny because I think that I already said that. I said, competition is good because it helps make advances in technology... But i think it is wrong in this case, people could go to launch themselves into space and get killed.

  8. A little more important than a contest on X Prize and John Carmack · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that maybe we should leave the research and development to NASA on things as important as this. Maybe it's just me, but turning rocket development into a contest seems kind of crazy to me. Don't get me wrong, competition is good, it advances technology faster. But, in this case i think it's wrong.

  9. Company Protocol on P2P Spam? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seems to me that the companies protocols are all out of wack, there should be certain steps a person has to go through to determine if the attachment is valid. Use special Extentions, or name the files in a particular way that is unique to your company so that you know what files are valid, and what aren't.

  10. Re:Won't that back-fire? on P2P Spam? · · Score: 1

    I'm still at a loss as to how it can be profitable, everyone complains about having it in their mailbox. Who are the people who are clicking the links? I don't know any.

    You remember me?!?

  12. Re:Unbelievable on P2P Spam? · · Score: 1

    The USA already does have strict penalties for hackers, crackers, etc. Have you heard of DeCSS? While you are at it, write a protocol if you don't like it.

  13. Re:huh? on P2P Spam? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No one actually knows how he/she got the list though. The person wrote the virus, gains the list, and sells it. No questions asked about HOW he got the e-mail addresses.
