There's Windows Media Player for Mac OS X and its market share is roughly equal to that of Linux.
It doesn't support all the codecs the Windows Windows Media Player does. VLC handles the wmv files better. I also like VLC because it supports region-free DVD playing, unlike the standard Apple-supplied software. Go VLC!:)
SPF doesn't tag spam, and has nothing to do with it. It just makes it impossible to fake a sender address from a domain with proper SPF records
Come back when you know how SMTP works. I can set any domain in the from address when I connect to your SMTP server. You have three options: use the SPF records of that domain to block or tag the email, or do nothing.
I don't get any say over the policies, so none of your "solutions" work. If you want to use SPF to block, that's fine, I'm just pointing out there are cases where legitimate email can only originate at non-SPF Ok'd MTAs. I wouldn't block using SPF, I'd tag, except tagging doesn't stop the costs of spam.
How, exactly? It can only ever be used to tag spam, since there are quite legitimate uses for sending emails with domain X with a non-domain X sending MTA -- since relaying is a bad thing and SMTP AUTH isn't an option for me as I can't connect directly to the proper MTA due to firewall restrictions. Since it can only be used for tagging, it doesn't mitigate the costs of receiving spam. It's far simpler and cheaper just to 550 reject spammy ISPs. SPEWS anyone?
That's true in the US (where I did have the pleasure of driving recently) but here in Australia if you do more than about 5km/h over the limit you'll have your licence plate snapped by a speed camera and you'll get a nice fine:)
When my American friends came out they were a little shocked to see speed cameras everywhere (hanging from freeway overpasses, at traffic lights).
So why didn't you link or credit the source that you *did* get it from?
I didn't provide a link, as there is no (to my knowledge) consistent way of linking to Usenet and having it work across different browsers. The person who posted it was clearly not the original author.
We're about to enter the peak of the hurricane season. Any day now, you're going to turn on the TV and see a weather person pointing to some radar blob out in the Atlantic Ocean and making two basic meteorological points.
(1) There is no need to panic.
(2) We could all be killed.
Yes, hurricane season is an exciting time to be in Florida. If you're new to the area, you're probably wondering what you need to do to prepare for the possibility that we'll get hit by "the big one." Based on our insurance industry experiences, we recommend that you follow this simple three-step hurricane preparedness plan:
STEP 1: Buy enough food and bottled water to last your family for at least three days.
STEP 2: Put these supplies into your car.
STEP 3: Drive to Nebraska and remain there until Halloween. Unfortunately, statistics show that most people will not follow this sensible plan. Most people will foolishly stay here in Florida.
We'll start with one of the most important hurricane preparedness items:
HOMEOWNERS' INSURANCE: If you own a home, you must have hurricane insurance. Fortunately, this insurance is cheap and easy to get, as long as your home meets two basic requirements:
(1) It is reasonably well-built, and
(2) It is located in Wisconsin
Unfortunately, if your home is located in Florida, or any other area that might actually be hit by a hurricane, most insurance companies would prefer not to sell you hurricane insurance, because then they might be required to pay YOU money, and that is certainly not why they got into the insurance business in the first place. So you'll have to scrounge around for an insurance company, which will charge you an annual premium roughly equal to the replacement value of your house. At any moment, this company can drop you like used dental floss.
SHUTTERS: Your house should have hurricane shutters on all the windows, all the doors, There are several types of shutters, with advantages and disadvantages:
Plywood shutters: The advantage is that, because you make them yourself, they're cheap.
Sheet-metal shutters: The advantage is that these work well, once you get them all up. The disadvantage is that once you get them all up, your hands will be useless bleeding stumps, and it will be December.
Roll-down shutters: The advantages are that they're very easy to use, and will definitely protect your house. The disadvantage is that you will have to sell your house to pay for them.
Hurricane-proof windows: These are the newest wrinkle in hurricane protection: They look like ordinary windows, but they can withstand hurricane winds! You can be sure of this, because the salesman says so. He lives in Nebraska.
Hurricane Proofing your property: As the hurricane approaches, check your yard for movable objects like barbecue grills, planters, patio furniture, visiting relatives, etc... You should, as a precaution, throw these items into your swimming pool (if you don't have a swimming pool, you should have one built immediately). Otherwise, the hurricane winds will turn these objects into deadly missiles.
EVACUATION ROUTE:
If you live in a low-lying area, you should have an evacuation route planned out. (To determine whether you live in a low-lying area, look at your driver's license; if it says "Florida," you live in a low-lying area.) The purpose of having an evacuation route is to avoid being trapped in your home when a major storm hits. Instead, you will be trapped in a gigantic traffic jam several miles from your home, along with two hundred thousand other evacuees. So, as a bonus, you will not be lonely.
HURRICANE SUPPLIES:
If you don't evacuate, you will need a mess of supplies. Do not buy them now! Florida tradition requires that you wait unti
But, you're the reason we're under increasing pressure internationally when we go travelling to explain Australia's actions,
No, having travelled around recently with Americans, they're the ones having to explain George Bush, all us Aussies have to answer for is the Crocodile Hunter.
No, the Australian Act doesn't allow the sending of unsolicited commercial email, the US act does given certain provisos (physical address, "working" opt-out link, etc.).
"non U.K. citizens".. so they check yo passport/citizenship papers in addition to your geographical location?
The iTunes store checks credit card billing address in addition to geographical location. I didn't bother testing it, I figured if they were going to discriminate against me they weren't worth my money anyway.
And if it's a commercially licensed business, what then? Then somehow SPAM is protected under your interpretation of the First Amendment?
Like I said, they have limited rights to free speech, ending at your private property, that's not my opinion it's the opinion of the US Supreme Court. Therefore spam is not protected.

Meaningful infectious disease research needs to take into account people who do transmit the disease a lot.
