  9. Re:Apex... on The Hidden Costs of Bargain Electronics · · Score: 1

    dude come on, Apex is notoriously known to be loved by modders (region free playing): 1. buy cheap Apex 2. buy modded chip on web 3a. replace stock with custom chip 4. blow the f&%$ out of it because your kung-fu is well below the level you fancy yourself at , because you're a moron, and..... 5. return to store for refund 6. trash talk it on /. In addition, after-effects of your actions include but not limited to: -The before mentioned slave conditions are supplemented by daily beatings because of sub-standard performance. -eh? That's all i could think of on a rant.

  11. Re:domain blocking on You've Got Spam: AOL Blocks 1/2 Trillion Spam · · Score: 1

    silly of me I forgot to point out that I was talking about the images in the emails. It is they that come only from the handfull of domains and it is their properties that provide the necessary information

  12. domain blocking on You've Got Spam: AOL Blocks 1/2 Trillion Spam · · Score: 1

    not dealing with the AOL article directly -
    A few days ago someone responded to a spam related discussion on /.. It was something that cought my eye. The response mentioned that the majority of images come from only a few domains - I had just installed Outlook 2003, and i found under Actions-Junk Email-Junk Email Options, a window and on its Blocked Senders tab you can add domains that you want to block. Now this does not stop from receiving the spam, it just automatically redirects them to the Junk Email folder.
    Since then, only one viagra message ended up in my inbox out of 20.

    Sure, you still get them, but weeding them out is the time consuming part which is the cause of lost productivity.

    Due to this, my frustration level has gone down considerably...

    I must say thank you to the poster who suggested this; wherever you are, know you made the world a better place even if for only one person :)

    The 3 domains that I added to the blocked list are:
    2004hosting.net
    min7788.com
    of990.com

    Everytime a spam piece finds its way into Inbox I check it's properties which displays the domain. Adding this the blocked list seems to do the trick.
