Is there a Tivo like device for normal FM or AM radio? I enjoy a few programmes on radio but not too many, and it would be a benefit to record these simply.
I guess I could use my PC for it but it would be more convenient to have a Tivo like option
It may not reduce spam, but it may very well reduce the possibility or severity of joe-jobbing for my own domain. That's enough reason for owners of domains to put an SPF line in.
It may not be very long until so many domains have it that it is useful for MTA applications to take notice of them so there's incentive to do it I think
How many more ISPs/mailservers will set this up? Only once it gets to a large level will it be useful, and even then what of when complete domains are forged?
OK I'm instantly cynical with any new technology. I can see SPF working well once it's widespread, but it's not a cure-all, just one step in the right direction.
Now to get all the mailers that accept mail to listen to what an SPF has to say.
Are there any reasons a mail application would purposely NOT want to read an SPF, that could undermine the process?
Actually, this isn't an entirely bad way to fund a fraction of the mission. Have like, some kind of a "who wants to be the first on Mars" TV show were the best and brightest compete to have one (1) seat on the mission to Mars. Make the network that gets this show pay oodles of cash.
We may do better in reverse. Send only the dumber ones by the time we get it right and can guarantee more than a miniscule level of survival, we will send the smart ones

Considering how quick it is to get to the moon (a few days travel) and how quick it is to launch off the moon (not much in the way of gravity) a moon base could very well be part of that "straight to mars". Launching everything at once is risky, if we throw things up in pieces it could build up a far better base to start with, on the lunar surface. Use the moon as a tool to get to mars, not sit around exploring it. We've been there done that

This is, ok a bit off topic but the current mars lander has lego on board, with a photo of it here as part of an experiment

I have had one defective one which was in 1989, it's fine for me too.

Oh that IS the RIAA/MPAA at work. See they have disks now that are getting us for burning them, those disks burn back!

> 2) Spammers tend to use made up domains anyways.
This is true, but combined with domain checking AND SPF I can see it being more powerful than both.
for ex.
spammer makes up umergeh.drewhs.com
email gets canned because the domain is fake. lose for spammers
spammer sends faked address from aol.com
SPF shows its a fake sender (rteal IP not match aol.com spf list). lose for spammers
spammer at aol sends real spam from aol.com
aol come down and bite spammers head off, spammer goes to jail. lose for spammers!
SPF is only one tool, and there are many combine them together and you have strength

I think you have a fantastic idea. Can we start with the loosers from next year's American Idol?
