'Texting' that there has been a terrorist attack (or worse) WWIII has broken out and the ICBMs are on their way is pointless -- mass hysteria is all but guaranteed...Bring on the body count!...:P
PS: For the 'terrorist attack' the message will give interested parties (that survive) the heads up to either help out, search for loved ones who may have been killed or injured, or keep away during the cleanup.
This system could be useful, but as shown, it's effectiveness and utility is severely limited....

Enjoy! (Did RIAA 'lean' on Turtle Beach to 'pull' these sound cards from the market?...)
P.S.: This is the best, simplest, straightforward, 'secure', method to strip DRM from digital audio files with 100% fidelity to the original file. Right up there with the Windows 'shift key' trick to avoid pwning your PC with a DRM/anticopy encumbered audio CD before you play/rip it....:) If your PC and soundcard are fast enough, you might be able to get away with 1 PC, 1 Digital I/O soundcard, and a digital 'loopback cable' (if such a thing exists or can be created) to connect the digital I/O ports together on the soundcard when stripping DRM from digital audio files.
P.P.S: If you are going to buy digital audio media online, buy lossless DRM-free CD quality audio media (i.e..WAV files) and burn your own CDs if you so choose -- everything else out there is essentially 'radio quality' and is basically 'promotional material' that should have a pricetag of $0.00
Personally I think immaturity is a sign of stress and helplessness people feel under modern capitalism, it's becoming harder and harder to make a living. If you want to blame something for the state of society, the economy and how businesses use people is the first place to look.
Outstanding!
You have identified the root cause in America: rampant unchecked capitalism/commercialism. Because of this, we have ad-clogged mass media telling people they live in a 'microwave society' where you can 'buy today and pay tommorow.' As a result, people are on the 'rat race treadmill' fueling all this and lining the coffers of fatcat businessmen who view their workforce as 'a necessary evil' and a 'constant drain on the bottom line'. Why is there a relentless drive to computerize as much of business workflow as possible? So they can downsize and save on labor as much as possible. Case in point: I heard/read that WAL-MART has such a sophisticated IT infrastructure that only the one in place for the Department Of Defense (the Pentagon) surpasses it!
Charlie Chaplin was preniscient when he made MODERN TIMES. If you've seen his misadventures in the factory scenes, you realize employees are little more than 'small replaceable parts' in a much larger machine--use them up as long as they are useful then replace them/discard them when worn out or no longer needed.
It looks like to escape the rat race, you have to 'fire your boss' and become 100% self-employed somehow (without breaking the law if you so desire). Good luck!
I have one simple rule when dealing with people - be nice. Be nice for as long as you possibly can. Then lose your shit in the most public, noisy and abusive way that you can.
That won't work in this post-9/11 world....
That kind of behavior will get you waylaid by the CSR/manager while they call the cops to come arrest you.
You forget government is the puppet of 'big' business -- who do you think REALLY supplies government with the ca$h needed to operate? It certainly isn't Joe Public, he doesn't have enough money to 'talk' loudly enough to get himself heard like the fatcat businessmen have at the corporate level.
That's why America's bipartisan political system is basically 'two sides of the same coin': Big business is ALWAYS in control!
I saw on MSN today that US AG Gonzales is crowing about 'nailing' some potential terrorists trying to 'bring down' the Sears Tower and what not. Come on -- another 9/11-style attack is old news -- the terrorists are REALLY JONESING on making THE SUM OF ALL FEARS a reality! all they need is a 'nuclear state' (such as North Korea) who is sympathetic to their cause to give them a nuke to float into a famous seaside harbor in the USA like LA, NY, or Miami with the expected , cataclysmic results. As far as I know, there is too much cargo to check to find the bomb before it does it's 'nuclear thing'. Another possibility would be to sneak it over the Canadian/US border out west where there are NO guards or fences to get past--just a 'cleared path' marking the border between the two countries!
The best thing to do is to give the oil rich states a fair price for their natural resource instead of trying to 'rip them off' by de-stabilizing their government then moving in with military force to occupy them. A 'Golden Rule' style U.S. foreign policy would have likely prevented 9/11...
Track the submitting IP addresses, the URLs they submit, the domains they submit for, and the time interval involved. Possible signs of SEO spam would include....
Lots of submits in a short amount of time from one IP address. Throttling/blocking can be used to thwart this.
Lots of URL submits in a short amount of time directed at one domain from 2 or more different IP addresses. Blocking submits an be used to thwart this.
Doesn't seem to be that hard to do....
If the SEO firms are absolutely stupid, they would submit from the same IP address their website is hosted from making IP blocking a snap!:)
The computer at that IP address has been compromised and is spewing 'bozo spam'. I got 3 of them recently for some kind of weightloss product.

It's been yrs since we have talked. I'm sorry I've been so spaced out.
I've been on this program that has been helping me get back into shape.
You should glance at . right learned Most to we of e
Just move to a tasteful, 'product placement' model of advertising in mass media and get rid of interrupt-driven advertising altogether!!! No, notTHE TRUMAN SHOW style or that one (in)famous night of programming on ABC(?) that revolved around Elizabeth Taylor and her new perfume.
Consumers get longer programs/movies/whatever with real content to watch making them happy. They also don't have to watch conventional advertising which is mostly assinine, repetitive drivel with only a handfull of exceptions such as Ridley Scott's (in)famous 1983 '1984' ad for Apple Computer. Those consumers who are influenced by product placement will buy your products anyway--the rest will essentially simply ignore such placement as they ignore examples of the current advertising model that dosen't interest them.
Everybody wins.
Any other views?
P.S. Here is how it can be done: 'Place' the product in the show/movie but do not draw undue attention to it or mention it by name (no, the passing Miller Beer truck in a scene in SPEEDdoesn't count!)--save that for the end credits where you can list the product(s) name/website URL.
P.P.S. The program CANNOT have the veneer of an 'infomercal' in any way or else all is lost and you have failed! This is what happened in the (in)famous Boost Mobile episode of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE -- maybe that was the desired effect for that episode. On the other hand, the 'pop up advertising' episode was a laugh riot and 'oh so true'....
In this way, the 'ad creep' can be dialed down and maybe eliminated from public bathrooms for starters....
Big business turned the Internet (the WWW part principaly) into little more than 'online TV'. Because of all the $$$ at stake, we have probably the best search engine around, Google, drowning in ad driven/cash driven search engine spam ('spamdexing').
If you are searching for something in Google, add site:.edu to your search. By doing that. that should lead you to.edu sites who are there principally to educate rather than sell you something. If you have to do general search, add -shipping -visa -mc -amex and the like to your search terms to block the 'ad pages'
Good Luck!
P.S. The best search engine would just index the single homepage page served up by the webserver at all 4,294,967,296 possible IPv4 addresses (minus the reserved/private/unused ones). The rationale is that if you are paying for webspace and a unique IP address, chances are good you have worthwhile content there. This would eliminate 'spamdexing' in all its forms in one bold stroke. The drawback is that 'online communities' would only be listed by the main IP webserver address and not by the URL which is why Google is in the 'mess' they are in.
If you are doing worthwhile research and want to avoid as much e-commerce as possible in the process, here again are some helpful tips....
add site:.edu in Google searches (mentioned earlier - restrict search to non-profit educational sites)
add -shipping -visa -mc -amex and the like to Google searches (mentioned earlier - helps eliminate product 'ad pages' and leave behind product review pages
search well-known 'info sites' like http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/ or http://www.wikipedia.org/ If you can't find the info you want at those two places for free, the content you seek is either not on the Web or (more likely) you have to pay for it to get access. We all know how Net-savvy people hate to pay for anything they find on the Web....
As a last resort, search Google's Usenet interface at http://groups.google.com/ Helpful info can be found there but be prepared to really dig for it! =/
But 'backwards compatibility' made Windows the (in)famous clusterfsck it is.
Imagine how stable and secure Windows would be if Microsoft rewrote and streamlined it (goodbye.dll hell!) and the apps that they put out that use it from the ground up to avoid all the exploits and what not like this programmer (.chm) does... (His Win32 OpenSSL 'repack' was very useful to me on a past project. Here is his 'about me' page. Just on the strength of the blockqoute below, I know this guy knows what he is doing and deserves any work/support you can send his way....)
There is more to life than 'just making a buck', but when this is done at the corporate level, it transforms everybody it touches to seen-it-all, done-it-all cynics who keep their funds close to them, part with them only when necessary (food/clothing/shelter/heat/lights/vehicle fuel and maintennance/public transport fares/occasional recreational spending) and do anything they can to escape its clutches (i.e. use adblock when online, and A/V devices capable of 'adskipping').
(I 'posted' the text below in an earlier comment here but I can't find the link to it right away. Note, I'm not a shill for this guy, just an admirer of simple, elegant, secure C program code that I can learn from and use in future projects.... It would be nice if the following, complete text was on a standard webpage instead of being imbedded in a compiled HTML file (.chm) =/ )
Security. There's a little word with a big meaning. Unlike other web servers, ProtoNova is secure. What exactly does this mean in terms of what a web server should be?
[snip]
Before I conclude, I have one other thing I wish to mention that defines security. This is the fact that ProtoNova is the only web server in existence guaranteed to be free from Buffer Overflow attacks on the stack at the application level. Let's see you try to get a guarantee like that from Apache or Microsoft. While I can't control problems with the underlying OS or libraries, I can control how I write my own code. Here's my secret to how I can make such a guarantee: Dynamically allocate all memory I use on the heap. 90% of all bug fixes for exploits (potential or otherwise) coming out of various organizations (ahem, Microsoft) are for Buffer Overflow attacks on the stack. A buffer overflow on the heap is far less dangerous than a stack-based overflow. If you don't know the difference, let me show you that I really do know what I'm talking about (whereas most journalists generally have no clue) using some C code - that is, the language most web servers are written in:
// Include necessary headers to compile #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>
// Start of the "main" function - used to tell the OS where // to start processing source code. int main(int argc, char **argv) { // Tells the computer to create 256 places in memory _on the stack_ for storage.
char str[256];
// This just tells the user how to use the program. // Not really important, but useful.
if (argc < 2)
{
printf("Syntax: BadProgram TypeInAReallyLongString");
exit(1);
}
// This copies the data the _user_ specified into str.
strcpy(str, argv[1]);
// This prints the contents of str.
printf("%s\n", str);
return 0; }
(For you programmers out there, please ignore the comments. I realize they are "basic/newbie," but I'm attempting to explain source code to newbies).
The reason these stories on Slashdot are useless is because all of the slashbots here will be screaming "I don't want ads!". Well, tough shit. Advertising is part of our world and culture and they are coming to video games whether you want them to or not.
There are 3 ways to avoid advertising. Here they are:
1) Die. Seriously. Then your problems with advertising will be all over for good. The drawback is that it is permanent [depending on your beliefs in an afterlife....:) ].
2) Live 'off the grid' on public/private land with NONE of the technological amenities of modern civilization other than (maybe) a P.O. box or other suitable 'mail drop' (but then the ad men will probably get ahold of it and still send you junk mail!:P). I like how the USPS's definiton of '1st Class Mail' only covers bills/invoices/purchase orders/related whatnot, financial statements/legal papers/government correspondence, checks and equivalents, and handwritten personal correspondence. To them, everything else that is not a periodical or parcel of some kind is considered bulk mail and is fair game for recycling/disposal.:)
3) Use the technologies at hand to minimize/eliminate your exposure to advertising. Some examples:
3a) Digital Video Recorders with 'adskip' (if you can still buy 'em or build 'em). If push comes to shove, hang on to your VCRs and use them instead.
3b) DVD Players that ignore Prohibited User Operation(s) (and region codeds as well!). Yay, no more FBI warnings/trailers/long animated menus before the movie!:) (the animated menu on Disney's Lion King DVD is notoriously long!:P) If you live in the USA and are thinking 'FVCK THE DMCA(.pdf)!!!!' there is software out there that will allow you to 'remaster' a commercial DVD to remove 'all' unwanted content. Non-USA world citizens don't have this worry (lucky them!)
3c) Ad blocking hosts file for your webbrowser such as this one. Use a 'surfer friendly' web browser like Off By One that ignores Flash and popup windows because it doesn't understand the SCRIPT and OBJECT HTML tags I am using it now to write this post instead of IE 5 that came with Windows 2000. Slashdot looks like crap in IE 5 so I gave up on it and am now using Off By One to surf Slashdot--much nicer! If you have to/want to use a 3rd party popup blocker, I heartily recommend NoAds

Improvised Explosive Device. DIY bomb, if you will. Nasty little fsckers.
I heard 'secondhand' that Gulf War 2 didn't have to have all the IED carnage.
In brief:
At the begining of Gulf War 2 there was an ammo dump over there that wasn't secured by the good guys. So the bad guys got access to it first and cleaned it out.
Since then, the good guys have been paying the price for this oversight....
The IED'ers are using sound guerllia tactics. I recently heard that the insurgents don't resort to 'sniping' from a concealed location because after the first shot or two, their position is given away and a RPG could be forthcoming a moment later in retailiation from superior forces (the good guys). So with IED's you get the ultimate, deadly 'jack in the box' experience: you never know when one will show up next....:P (-_-);_;
What is really 'mindblowing' is that the insurgent forces are killing their own countrymen with these things just because they want to help the 'good guys' out with this military operation (i.e. police station-based IED attacks).
9/11 and Gulf War 2 was/is nasty business--there are no winners....
My approach used behind public email addresses will make spam email essentially unprofitable. It will be impossible to conveniently convey 'spam' as we now know it to people with such 'extreme filtering' in effect while still allowing email communications to take place. Sure, the desparate spammers can still spam but it will be painfully obvious and can be ignored. If 'too much' of it comes through, then I will have to implement some sort of 'Bayesian Filtering' which is already pwned by the spammers....:P
Slashdot captcha for this post: sincere (coincidence?)

Conclusion: "The pilot, who in a crisis decides against protecting the engines and in favor of saving the aircraft and human lives, is rendered powerless by the "foresighted" programmer of the system."
Unfortunately, that programmer is tasked by his employer (the aircraft manufacturer/airlines[indirectly]) with the duty to do whatever it takes to save the aircraft in any situation. It's just a bonus if there is no loss of life in the process. This 'laissez faire' attitude doesn't take into account the 'edge conditions' mentioned in the parent post where the software doesn't know what to do. This is just a logical outgrowth of the 'Life Is Cheap But Toilet Paper Is Expensive' mentality of big busines.:P
At this rate, they should give pilots a manual override switch to turn off the flight computer's higher brain functions or just scrap all computerized avionics alltogether and go back to the seat-of-your-pants, fly-by-wire days.... =/
This situation also reminds me of a Werner Von Braun quote:
"Man is the best computer we can put aboard a spacecraft... and the only one that can be mass-produced with unskilled labor."
Wow! Insightful an disparging at the same time!
Perhaps this is ultimately (in a way) the mantra of big business. It seems that way due to their past behavior--the most noteworthy of that seems to be the collapse of Enron.
I don't know if this is what you were implying, but it isn't really society's fault that people get so caught up in the persuit of physical wealth.
The problem:
Big Business Big Media Big Government Big TROUBLE!!!
I disagree. In a nutshell:
Big Business - The undisputed engine of modern civilization. Without it....'Dark Ages' (pre late 18th century, the time of the Industrial Revolution)
Big Media - The megaphone of Big Business which are the true customers of it. Inescapable (advertising everywhere -- even in bathrooms!) Persuasive (image/emotional/'branding' based ads instead of concise, product facts and benefits based advertising). Rapacious (pop culture is cannibalized to sell stuff i.e. CHEVY TRUCK'S 'LIKE A ROCK' campaign -- Why did Bob Seger let Chevrolet use his song for that (in)famous ad campaign? Surely he didn't need the money and the 1983 film Risky Business made him (and Tom Cruise) household names). Wasteful (U.S. commercial TV is about 25% advertising. How much postal junk mail did you throw away today? How many full-page magazine ads did you flip past today?). Assinine (the worst offender is probably the Enzite commercials and the hot water the company is in....). When Big Media is used in the service of Big Government, the results can be disturbing yet eye-opening! (Remember the fuss over Willie Horton or Lyndon Johnson's infamous 'Daisy' campaign ad attacking opponent Barry Goldwater?)
Big Government - An outgrowth of the above two items. USA's bipartisan political system is essentially 'two sides of the same coin'. Doesn't matter if the Republicans or Democrats (or both) are in power in Washington D.C., big business is always running the show behind the scenes. Just look at how the U.S. tax code balloned from a few pages when it was introduced in 1914 to several feet of shelf space!...
Big TROUBLE!!! - Unless people 'vote with their wallets' and stop patronizing the handfull of 'big businesses' out there, there could then be genuine competition in a marketplace inhabited by dozens...even hundreds of smaller businesses in various industries. Real innovation could take place instead of being suppressed by 'dirty tricks' and lots of cash.... Decentralization appears to be our only hope to 'undo' this mess in a controlled, peaceful, economically oriented manner.
This item appeared earlier here. I don't have the exact URL to it though....
For those 'afflicted', they see it as the only means of escape from a stress-filled, dead end life into a world where they have the power to do just about anything. For a handfull of people, that is all they have to live for hence their marathon gaming sessions and (sometimes unfortunately) subsequent death.
If society at large wasn't so materialistic and cash-driven (gotta make a buck no matter what the cost), the stress levels would go down dramatically so people wouldn't do marathon gaming anymore as a means of escape from their 'pitiful' lives. Perhaps they could do 'great things' that would benifit society worldwide as a whole without the relentless pressure to 'grab cash' along the way just to stay alive....
Disclaimer: I wrote it. I use it. It's 100% free (keep your money).
It was available at my website (more info here if you want to read it) but it got 'Slashdotted' and was 'removed'. So I finally got around to updating it with statistics logging to 'prove' it's effectiveness, to accommodate 'flakey' mailservers that might not like a highly efficient POP3 client accessing them, and to treat 'highbit' email the same as file attachments (email is historically a 7-bit protocol) and posting it on http://rapidshare.de/ at the 'sig' URL above. Download and enjoy!:)
Actually, 1 seconds is not subliminal at all. Everyone watching will be very aware of what they see. The threshold for subliminal for vision is on the order of 1/20th of a second.
I saw United 93 several days ago and saw series of red dots flash on the screen twice during two separate plane scenes.
I know they are anticopy measures used to stop bootleg 'camrips' but couldn't Universial give the cap codes a rest for a film as momentous as this?
If the cap codes were only on a single frame, that is 1/24 of a second and should be in the 'subliminal range' of vision yet I saw them 'clear as day'.
Before the film, the same 'trick' was tried to get me to buy Coke to drink during the movie--during a Coke ad?!?
I guess cap codes are a 'necessary evil' to stop piracy^W illegal distribution in the 'digital distribution age' (we have horror film 28 Days Later to thank for starting this 'tradition') but 'the masses' are paying 'real money' to watch a 'defective' film on the big screen. Must we wait for the DVD release of a movie to be made available in order to enjoy it to the fullest without cap codes?

I can't use Sendmail - too complicated and not a Visual C code project. Can anybody else help?
From a programming standpoint, scanning the email as it is being sent by the SMTP DATA statement is doable but maybe more complicated than its worth. If you have a reputable list of known spam spewing IP addresses, you can cut them off the instant they connect. My mailserver program is capable of this. It also stops IPs from connecting more than once. One SMTP connection is all you need to transfer email, right?
There are several ways to stop Windows-based spam zombies that range from not using Windows in the first place to 'hardening' Internet Explorer by turning off ActiveX, IFRAME code execution, and scripting, and every other solution in between. I think it best to filter on the recipient side: you decide what kinds of email you want at particular email addresses and delete the rest. The best email filter around, an email address whitelist, will only work as long as the whitelisted machines remain uncompromised. Otherwise they will spew spam to your inbox just as effectively as non-whitelisted machines will be blocked by the whitelist. My solution uses long time 'venerated' established protocols 'transparently' as well as using them against spammers at the most fundamental level: the email 'character set'. Sure, the spammers can bypass my filter but they'll look stupid/desparate doing so. If I get 'enough' 'bozo spam' that get past my POP3 program that it becomes 'too much' to handle, then I'll have to 'join the pack' and add some sort of Bayesian filtering. Keep in mind that such filtering saps the resources of a PC with increased processing time and disk storage. Spammers have already made Bayesian filtering almost usesless. By comparison, my method doesn't use such a technique yet currently enjoys a 99.67% spam suppression rate. What more can be done in the fight against email spam? Give up and abandon email, replace it with something else, or use an approach that silences spammers yet still allow email communications to be conducted.
P.S. I am still looking for a download URL to a simple, readable, massively multithreaded sample Visual C code project in order to 'rewrite' my mailserver to make it better. Can anyone else help me?

Personally I think immaturity is a sign of stress and helplessness people feel under modern capitalism, it's becoming harder and harder to make a living. If you want to blame something for the state of society, the economy and how businesses use people is the first place to look.
Outstanding!
You have identified the root cause in America: rampant unchecked capitalism/commercialism. Because of this, we have ad-clogged mass media telling people they live in a 'microwave society' where you can 'buy today and pay tommorow.' As a result, people are on the 'rat race treadmill' fueling all this and lining the coffers of fatcat businessmen who view their workforce as 'a necessary evil' and a 'constant drain on the bottom line'. Why is there a relentless drive to computerize as much of business workflow as possible? So they can downsize and save on labor as much as possible. Case in point: I heard/read that WAL-MART
has such a sophisticated IT infrastructure that only the one in place for the Department Of Defense (the Pentagon) surpasses it!
Charlie Chaplin was preniscient when he made MODERN TIMES. If you've seen his misadventures in the factory scenes, you realize employees are little more than 'small replaceable parts' in a much larger machine--use them up as long as they are useful then replace them/discard them when worn out or no longer needed.
It looks like to escape the rat race, you have to 'fire your boss' and become 100% self-employed somehow (without breaking the law if you so desire). Good luck!
I have one simple rule when dealing with people - be nice. Be nice for as long as you possibly can. Then lose your shit in the most public, noisy and abusive way that you can.
That won't work in this post-9/11 world....
That kind of behavior will get you waylaid by the CSR/manager while they call the cops to come arrest you.
You forget government is the puppet of 'big' business -- who do you think REALLY supplies government with the ca$h needed to operate? It certainly isn't Joe Public, he doesn't have enough money to 'talk' loudly enough to get himself heard like the fatcat businessmen have at the corporate level.
That's why America's bipartisan political system is basically 'two sides of the same coin': Big business is ALWAYS in control!
I saw on MSN today that US AG Gonzales is crowing about 'nailing' some potential terrorists trying to 'bring down' the Sears Tower and what not. Come on -- another 9/11-style attack is old news -- the terrorists are REALLY JONESING on making THE SUM OF ALL FEARS a reality! all they need is a 'nuclear state' (such as North Korea) who is sympathetic to their cause to give them a nuke to float into a famous seaside harbor in the USA like LA, NY, or Miami with the expected , cataclysmic results. As far as I know, there is too much cargo to check to find the bomb before it does it's 'nuclear thing'. Another possibility would be to sneak it over the Canadian/US border out west where there are NO guards or fences to get past--just a 'cleared path' marking the border between the two countries!
The best thing to do is to give the oil rich states a fair price for their natural resource instead of trying to 'rip them off' by de-stabilizing their government then moving in with military force to occupy them. A 'Golden Rule' style U.S. foreign policy would have likely prevented 9/11...

Just move to a tasteful, 'product placement' model of advertising in mass media and get rid of interrupt-driven advertising altogether!!! No, not THE TRUMAN SHOW style or that one (in)famous night of programming on ABC(?) that revolved around Elizabeth Taylor and her new perfume.
Consumers get longer programs/movies/whatever with real content to watch making them happy. They also don't have to watch conventional advertising which is mostly assinine, repetitive drivel with only a handfull of exceptions such as Ridley Scott's (in)famous 1983 '1984' ad for Apple Computer. Those consumers who are influenced by product placement will buy your products anyway--the rest will essentially simply ignore such placement as they ignore examples of the current advertising model that dosen't interest them.
Everybody wins.
Any other views?
P.S. Here is how it can be done: 'Place' the product in the show/movie but do not draw undue attention to it or mention it by name (no, the passing Miller Beer truck in a scene in SPEED doesn't count!)--save that for the end credits where you can list the product(s) name/website URL.
P.P.S. The program CANNOT have the veneer of an 'infomercal' in any way or else all is lost and you have failed! This is what happened in the (in)famous Boost Mobile episode of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE -- maybe that was the desired effect for that episode. On the other hand, the 'pop up advertising' episode was a laugh riot and 'oh so true'....
In this way, the 'ad creep' can be dialed down and maybe eliminated from
public bathrooms for starters....

Big business turned the Internet (the WWW part principaly) into little more than 'online TV'. Because of all the $$$ at stake, we have probably the best search engine around, Google, drowning in ad driven/cash driven search engine spam ('spamdexing').
If you are searching for something in Google, add site:.edu to your search. By doing that. that should lead you to
-shipping -visa -mc -amex and the like to your search terms to block the 'ad pages'
Good Luck!
P.S. The best search engine would just index the single homepage page served up by the webserver at all 4,294,967,296 possible IPv4 addresses (minus the reserved/private/unused ones). The rationale is that if you are paying for webspace and a unique IP address, chances are good you have worthwhile content there. This would eliminate 'spamdexing' in all its forms in one bold stroke. The drawback is that 'online communities' would only be listed by the main IP webserver address and not by the URL which is why Google is in the 'mess' they are in.
If you are doing worthwhile research and want to avoid as much e-commerce as possible in the process, here again are some helpful tips....
add site:.edu in Google searches (mentioned earlier - restrict search to non-profit educational sites)
add -shipping -visa -mc -amex and the like to Google searches (mentioned earlier - helps eliminate product 'ad pages' and leave behind product review pages
search well-known 'info sites' like http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/ or http://www.wikipedia.org/ If you can't find the info you want at those two places for free, the content you seek is either not on the Web or (more likely) you have to pay for it to get access. We all know how Net-savvy people hate to pay for anything they find on the Web....
As a last resort, search Google's Usenet interface at http://groups.google.com/ Helpful info can be found there but be prepared to really dig for it! =/

There is more to life than 'just making a buck', but when this is done at the corporate level, it transforms everybody it touches to seen-it-all, done-it-all cynics who keep their funds close to them, part with them only when necessary (food/clothing/shelter/heat/lights/vehicle fuel and maintennance/public transport fares/occasional recreational spending) and do anything they can to escape its clutches (i.e. use adblock when online, and A/V devices capable of 'adskipping').

:P). I like how the USPS's definiton of '1st Class Mail' only covers bills/invoices/purchase orders/related whatnot, financial statements/legal papers/government correspondence, checks and equivalents, and handwritten personal correspondence. To them, everything else that is not a periodical or parcel of some kind is considered bulk mail and is fair game for recycling/disposal. :)

There are 3 ways to avoid advertising. Here they are:
1) Die. Seriously. Then your problems with advertising will be all over for good. The drawback is that it is permanent [depending on your beliefs in an afterlife....
2) Live 'off the grid' on public/private land with NONE of the technological amenities of modern civilization other than (maybe) a P.O. box or other suitable 'mail drop' (but then the ad men will probably get ahold of it and still send you junk mail!
3) Use the technologies at hand to minimize/eliminate your exposure to advertising. Some examples:
3a) Digital Video Recorders with 'adskip' (if you can still buy 'em or build 'em). If push comes to shove, hang on to your VCRs and use them instead.
3b) DVD Players that ignore Prohibited User Operation(s) (and region codeds as well!). Yay, no more FBI warnings/trailers/long animated menus before the movie!
3c) Ad blocking hosts file for your webbrowser such as this one. Use a 'surfer friendly' web browser like Off By One that ignores Flash and popup windows because it doesn't understand the SCRIPT and OBJECT HTML tags I am using it now to write this post instead of IE 5 that came with Windows 2000. Slashdot looks like crap in IE 5 so I gave up on it and am now using Off By One to surf Slashdot--much nicer! If you have to/want to use a 3rd party popup blocker, I heartily recommend NoAds

I heard 'secondhand' that Gulf War 2 didn't have to have all the IED carnage.
In brief:
At the begining of Gulf War 2 there was an ammo dump over there that wasn't secured by
the good guys. So the bad guys got access to it first and cleaned it out.
Since then, the good guys have been paying the price for this oversight....
The IED'ers are using sound guerllia tactics. I recently heard that the insurgents don't
resort to 'sniping' from a concealed location because after the first shot or two, their
position is given away and a RPG could be forthcoming a moment later in retailiation from superior forces (the good guys). So with IED's you get the ultimate, deadly 'jack in the box' experience: you never know when one will show up next....
What is really 'mindblowing' is that the insurgent forces are killing their own countrymen with these things just because they want to help the 'good guys' out with this military operation (i.e. police station-based IED attacks).
9/11 and Gulf War 2 was/is nasty business--there are no winners....

My badmouthed, 99.67% effective solution to spam..
My approach used behind public email addresses will make spam email essentially unprofitable. It will be impossible to conveniently convey 'spam' as we now know it to people with such 'extreme filtering' in effect while still allowing email communications to take place. Sure, the desparate spammers can still spam but it will be painfully obvious and can be ignored. If 'too much' of it comes through, then I will have to implement some sort of 'Bayesian Filtering' which is already pwned by the spammers....

Start reading here.
I get no 'standard' spam now at iamcf13@hotpop.com, just an occasional 'bozo spam' (3-4 at the time of this post).
Kelly Martin, the article writer, 'gave up' on attacking the email spam problem at a fundamental level without having to change/overhaul the current email system.
I solved my spam problem with my program and offer my program free of charge to anyone else on the internet who wants to use it.
Unfortunately, that programmer is tasked by his employer (the aircraft manufacturer/airlines[indirectly]) with the duty to do whatever it takes to save the aircraft in any situation. It's just a bonus if there is no loss of life in the process. This 'laissez faire' attitude doesn't take into account the 'edge conditions' mentioned in the parent post where the software doesn't know what to do. This is just a logical outgrowth of the 'Life Is Cheap But Toilet Paper Is Expensive' mentality of big busines.
At this rate, they should give pilots a manual override switch to turn off the flight computer's higher brain functions or just scrap all computerized avionics alltogether and go back to the seat-of-your-pants, fly-by-wire days.... =/
This situation also reminds me of a Werner Von Braun quote:
Wow! Insightful an disparging at the same time!
Perhaps this is ultimately (in a way) the mantra of big business. It seems that way due to their past behavior--the most noteworthy of that seems to be the collapse of Enron.
I don't know if this is what you were implying, but it isn't really society's fault that people get so caught up in the persuit of physical wealth.
The problem:
Big Business
Big Media
Big Government
Big TROUBLE!!!
I disagree. In a nutshell:
Big Business - The undisputed engine of modern civilization. Without it....'Dark Ages' (pre late 18th century, the time of the Industrial Revolution)
Big Media - The megaphone of Big Business which are the true customers of it. Inescapable (advertising everywhere -- even in bathrooms!) Persuasive (image/emotional/'branding' based ads instead of concise, product facts and benefits based advertising). Rapacious (pop culture is cannibalized to sell stuff i.e. CHEVY TRUCK'S 'LIKE A ROCK' campaign -- Why did Bob Seger let Chevrolet use his song for that (in)famous ad campaign? Surely he didn't need the money and the 1983 film Risky Business made him (and Tom Cruise) household names). Wasteful (U.S. commercial TV is about 25% advertising. How much postal junk mail did you throw away today? How many full-page magazine ads did you flip past today?). Assinine (the worst offender is probably the Enzite commercials and the hot water the company is in....). When Big Media is used in the service of Big Government, the results can be disturbing yet eye-opening! (Remember the fuss over Willie Horton or Lyndon Johnson's infamous 'Daisy' campaign ad attacking opponent Barry Goldwater?)
Big Government - An outgrowth of the above two items. USA's bipartisan political system is essentially 'two sides of the same coin'. Doesn't matter if the Republicans or Democrats (or both) are in power in Washington D.C., big business is always running the show behind the scenes. Just look at how the U.S. tax code balloned from a few pages when it was introduced in 1914 to several feet of shelf space!...
Big TROUBLE!!! - Unless people 'vote with their wallets' and stop patronizing the handfull of 'big businesses' out there, there could then be genuine competition in a marketplace inhabited by dozens...even hundreds of smaller businesses in various industries. Real innovation could take place instead of being suppressed by 'dirty tricks' and lots of cash.... Decentralization appears to be our only hope to 'undo' this mess in a controlled, peaceful, economically oriented manner.
This item appeared earlier here. I don't have the exact URL to it though....
For those 'afflicted', they see it as the only means of escape from a stress-filled, dead end life into a world where they have the power to do just about anything. For a handfull of people, that is all they have to live for hence their marathon gaming sessions and (sometimes unfortunately) subsequent death.
If society at large wasn't so materialistic and cash-driven (gotta make a buck no matter what the cost), the stress levels would go down dramatically so people wouldn't do marathon gaming anymore as a means of escape from their 'pitiful' lives. Perhaps they could do 'great things' that would benifit society worldwide as a whole without the relentless pressure to 'grab cash' along the way just to stay alive....

It was available at my website (more info here if you want to read it) but it got 'Slashdotted' and was 'removed'. So I finally got around to updating it with statistics logging to 'prove' it's effectiveness, to accommodate 'flakey' mailservers that might not like a highly efficient POP3 client accessing them, and to treat 'highbit' email the same as file attachments (email is historically a 7-bit protocol) and posting it on http://rapidshare.de/ at the 'sig' URL above. Download and enjoy!

In short, my approach uses the venerated, time tested SMTP protocol and character set AGAINST spammers....
Actually, 1 seconds is not subliminal at all. Everyone watching will be very aware of what they see. The threshold for subliminal for vision is on the order of 1/20th of a second.
I saw United 93 several days ago and saw series of red dots flash on the screen twice during two separate plane scenes.
I know they are anticopy measures used to stop bootleg 'camrips' but couldn't Universial give the cap codes a rest for a film as momentous as this?
If the cap codes were only on a single frame, that is 1/24 of a second and should be in the 'subliminal range' of vision yet I saw them 'clear as day'.
Before the film, the same 'trick' was tried to get me to buy Coke to drink during the movie--during a Coke ad?!?
I guess cap codes are a 'necessary evil' to stop piracy^W illegal distribution in the 'digital distribution age' (we have horror film 28 Days Later to thank for starting this 'tradition') but 'the masses' are paying 'real money' to watch a 'defective' film on the big screen. Must we wait for the DVD release of a movie to be made available in order to enjoy it to the fullest without cap codes?
I can't use Sendmail - too complicated and not a Visual C code project. Can anybody else help?
From a programming standpoint, scanning the email as it is being sent by the SMTP DATA statement is doable but maybe more complicated than its worth. If you have a reputable list of known spam spewing IP addresses, you can cut them off the instant they connect. My mailserver program is capable of this. It also stops IPs from connecting more than once. One SMTP connection is all you need to transfer email, right?
There are several ways to stop Windows-based spam zombies that range from not using Windows in the first place to 'hardening' Internet Explorer by turning off ActiveX, IFRAME code execution, and scripting, and every other solution in between. I think it best to filter on the recipient side: you decide what kinds of email you want at particular email addresses and delete the rest. The best email filter around, an email address whitelist, will only work as long as the whitelisted machines remain uncompromised. Otherwise they will spew spam to your inbox just as effectively as non-whitelisted machines will be blocked by the whitelist. My solution uses long time 'venerated' established protocols 'transparently' as well as using them against spammers at the most fundamental level: the email 'character set'. Sure, the spammers can bypass my filter but they'll look stupid/desparate doing so. If I get 'enough' 'bozo spam' that get past my POP3 program that it becomes 'too much' to handle, then I'll have to 'join the pack' and add some sort of Bayesian filtering. Keep in mind that such filtering saps the resources of a PC with increased processing time and disk storage. Spammers have already made Bayesian filtering almost usesless. By comparison, my method doesn't use such a technique yet currently enjoys a 99.67% spam suppression rate. What more can be done in the fight against email spam? Give up and abandon email, replace it with something else, or use an approach that silences spammers yet still allow email communications to be conducted.
P.S. I am still looking for a download URL to a simple, readable, massively multithreaded sample Visual C code project in order to 'rewrite' my mailserver to make it better. Can anyone else help me?
