Here's the goddamned standard... Make it ultra-easy so it's simple to hit critical mass where everyone uses it.
For your domain, put out a text file. In that text file, put the IP addresses or range of your server.
Name the file: mailservers.txt
For example... I would have (for DracoSoftware.com) a page called mailservers.txt. It would contain:
206.67.56.202
If I had a range, it could be either individual IPs: 206.67.56.202 206.67.56.203 206.67.56.204
OR, a range delimited by a dash:
206.67.56.202-206.67.56.204
Once we get sites to publish their legit mail servers, the rest is easy... Setting up servers who do DNS-like caching at your local ISP is easy. Your individual e-mail program can then do WHATEVER IT WANTS with the e-mail... Whitelist/blacklist/take into consideration for baysian filtering... whatever. The important thing is to get the legit mail servers published.
If a mail comes from legit mail-server... Easy. If a mail spoofs a publicized server... easy. If a mail comes from an unknown server, mark it as suspicious.
If people want, I'll start posting names of domains that were cool enough to create a mailservers.txt file.

Seems people took me a bit more seriously than I intended... Please see:

As for your slavery comment... I don't get your point. What does the US having slavery over a hundred years ago have to do with Americans today? Especially when most American families immigrated to the US ~after~ slavery was abolished (like mine).
"If youre not with us, you are against us" must be the most stupid thing any president has ever said.
I agree. It's one of the stupidest things anybody can ever say in any situation.
And there are many countries more "free" than the US.
This too, is true... Though in most countries that freedom is not guarunteed. There are also a whole lot of countries that aren't anywhere near as free as the US. (Shrugs)
Probably... But I was only really posting to remove a mod point I had placed on the parent previously. The server isn't being slashdotted, so no bonus.
I hate to break it to ya... Lots of it is anti-American sentiments. It's part of the same reason the world hates MicroSoft... The US is on top for now. People don't like other people/countries richer than they are... Thus, anti-US sentiment.
Shit, you're absolutely fucking right. There's nothing fucking wrong with saying a couple of fucking bad words. What the fuck is wrong with the shit-for-brains at the FCC? You'd think that shit stands for Fucking Comunist Control or some shit.
What amazes me about this article is not the subject matter, or the ideas, but the depth at which they were presented. His whole argument was about games vs. the movie industry.
Games aren't going after the MOVIE industry, dipshit. They're going after the TELEVISION industry. Try the same article, but this time try to convince me why people are going to continue to watch TV over playing games in the long-term.

You can play any game you want, any time you want, unlike TV. There are no ads that are annoying or break up the action (Just load screens, but those are usually pretty quick). You don't have to pay for games you don't play (Unlike TV where you pay for channels you don't watch).
With the added challenge and social aspects of on-line gaming, it's honestly not a big surprise that it's catching on...
I'm one of them. Being able to game on-line, and talk to friends over the 'net while gaming is a very satisfying passtime. It's more interactive, more social, and more exciting.
You never know if the game will end in your favor or not... You really have to work with your friends to make it happen!
It's not terribly surprising, though I'm surprised that he'd leave such an obvious trail. It's interesting for a number of reasons...
It's interesting because it's not owned by a publicist, lawyer, or other professional spin-doctor. The pages and their content are most likely written by himself, but he doesn't take credit for that content. Instead, there's a stupid name "People for the Ethical Treatment of Web Designers" so that it sounds like a group rather than an individual. I'm sure it IS a group... a group of his close buddies.
I also find it questionable that he's asking for donations to pay for his legal defense (under the name of the above group). Seems more like a quick way to make a buck than anything else.
It's also interesting because other pages on the site (such as the testimonials) then serve double-duty as a marketing machine.
Of interesting note... The domain justice4pat.com (The 2nd link) has their DNS hosted by runningwolf.com servers... Runningwolf was the name of Pat's company. Hmmm....
4 sentences per crusade? That's hardly a thorough treatment of what went on. Hell, it doesn't even cover all the major players, let alone their socio-political motivations.
It's so nice to see that you're someone who can discuss theology like an adult. It's refreshing to encounter those who are fully capable of treating individuals with respect, instead of some intolerant buffoon who has to hide behind the mask of anonymity.
Hey gang,
I'd really like to build and use my own cluster, as I do have some MPI experience from college. The only question is: What are they good for at home? I just can't justify the expense to myself without figuring out what I could really do with a cluster if I built one.
The Crusades were fought for religion? That's nothing more than Catholic propaganda. After all, it could not be that Pope Urban II acted for less-than-holy reasons.

I find it funny that you think I'm Christian, when I'm not. I'm just tryin' to get you to back off a bit. Golden rule: Treat others as you'd have them treat you. I don't ram religion down your throat, please don't ram anti-religion down mine.
So, whilst you bash Christians, also keep in mind they're responsible for: The rennisance, red cross, the salvation army, endless scores of soup kitchens, charities, and random acts of kindness.
Christianity is run by people... People who can be as bad as pedophiles and cause endless damage, or as good as Mother (Did she make saint yet?) Theresa who dedicated her life to helping the world.
Greed, anger, suffering, love and compassion know no bounds of religion, origin, ethnicity, age, race, or any other demographic.
Stories like Jack and the Beanstalk are created to pass on morals and acceptable social behavior in society, especially back when many people couldn't read or write.
Let me get one thing very clear: These stories are not what morals are based on. These stories are how morals are taught to others (Especially children).
Using Jack & the Beanstalk to teach your kid "never steal magic beans because I may run into an angry giant" is missing the point. Using it to teach your kid "Don't steal, because it will cause you more trouble than it's worth" has a place even with non-religious types.
Food for thought... One definition of religion is as follows: A cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.
It could then be easily argued that Science is nothing but a religion. Without a doubt, it would be a religion who's effects are seen more literally in the world around us. Keep in mind though that many of our working theories are nothing but ideas that have not been disproven (Big bang, string theory, dark matter, negative energy).
There is no such thing as fair use in advertising. When examining if a case is fair use, there are 4 main guidelines.
Purpose and character of the use (If you're trying to use it to make money or just teach)
The nature of the work
Amount of the work used
Effect fair use would cause on the market
Of significant interest is the first. Fair use is for things such as news reports (So they could show the Superbowl 1/2 time show without paying), and education (Reproduce a portion of Moby Dick for examples of metaphor).
Of other interest is the last. Many musicians stand to make quite a bit of money off of lending their music for ads (Crystal Method has made a killing doing this). So claiming "fair use" and having people use the song on any ad would destroy the potential commercial market for that song.

I thought this was going to be a good reference, but it doesn't even say how many crusades there were!
The only thing these talk about is that churches were involved, doesn't even get into how or why. Come back when you've done some credible research.

Oh yeah... Almost forgot...
"almost every major war in the history of the planet has ultimately been because of religion"
Every major war in the history of the planet has ultimately been because of GREED for money/power.
Often masked as religion, freedom, rightousness, self-defense, or any of a dozen more attractive things.
Also, I'm not in defense of religion per se... I just don't like your blind faith in your zealous intolerant anti-religious attitude.
