I don't know what problems he had with Firefox and AdSense, but I know it does work butI have had problems with AdSense + Mozilla (Fedora Core as a matter of fact).
Specifically I'd login, get the admin menu, select am menu option and get the login screen again. Rinse Repeat.
No amount of clearing cookies, using a different browser or anything would make it work. Worked fine from my laptop running the same version of Moz. Worked fine from IE. One day it just stopped doing that, so I figured it was a google problem.
So to the lamer who called the guy a liar, and you, Mr. "Complete bullshit." maybe you should consider that this guy did have problems and he simply made a bad call by blaming the browser. It's not exactly a hard thing to do when you see such odd behaviour,
I guess the problem I have with this is, how is law enforcement going to tie activity to specific users rather than IP addresses?
My ISP gives me a dhcp lease. Is the dhcp server and/or billing system going to trigger CALEASNIFFER (tm) against that user and shut it off when the IP has changed owners?
ISPs don't even do this for spam issues. Instead of detecting anonomolous volumes of traffic on port 25 they just adopt blanket policies of "use our smtp server only".
More and more of our "legacy" communication is moving online. Wouldn't it be less resource intensive just to log everything and only apply tethereal filters after the fact?
OTOH, all our network coding/decoding now has to undergo considerable overhead.
What do you mean by this?
I'm groking it as meaning everything needs to be converted to p2p. TCP/IP is pretty much the protocol of choice right now, I don't see it going away any time soon.
If you mean "uncontrolled/excessive routes", well, yeah. You're right.
Is the change in philosophy worth the cost?
I hate to make the comparison but would the change of open source adoption be worth the cost in 1995?
The Wireless of today is primitive. It's not like RoofNet is going to encompass the continent and surely not with 802.11;)
I'm not suggesting the Internet is dying, but it too has changed since the 1990's, much like business use of OSS.
Service providers like Vonage and others with the little black box, do not allow direct calls to your ATA. The calls are routed via their network, from the PSTN or some other third party network like the VPF or possibly FreeWorldDialup.
PSTN connections, aren't free for all as far as the regulatory domain goes.
Authenticated services like FreeWorldDialup are at least somewhat accountable for spam.
As far as free-for-all 'net voip goes, it could be a problem or it may not be. I can see RBL's being used to block this type of thing, we're using RBL's more and more these days to keep the smeg of the Internet away from our networks anyway.
A sendmail milter would do the trick nicely (or sendmail+mimedefang, then do some mimedefang-filter perl magic to select against a database of known senders).
Unfortunately it's still prone to spoofed Email. I don't really blame you for ditching Email, I think a lot of users are these days.
One late night my boss (*cough*) and I were moving two server racks across the room. You know the speal, unplug all cables, mostly label them, move, re-attach.
He proceeded to plug a 20V AC adapter into a 6 port KVM. All I heard was the sound of capacitor ricocheting off the top of the case (it left a dent!) and seeing the database server suddenly display funky stuff on its screen.
He fried two mother boards, blown video (well, black and white) and the ide channels.
To this day I still mutter vague warnings of bodily harm whenever he approaches the rack.
"We don't know, but whatever it is it'll be good for the Canadian economy".
Which is also pretty much the form response I received (~two months later) from Minister Scherrer's office irt to an Email I sent back when she said, " 'As minister of Canadian Heritage, I will, as quickly as possible, make changes to our copyright law.'".
The green party of Canada might as well be your Ralph Nader. They are becoming more mainstream, but alas, they are still young ones stuck in a pile of steaming fossils who barely "get" technology, let alone understand how it can influence our lives through its inner mechanics.

i think you mean "Over Rated"
Oh wait.. ;)
As far as formating it goes, possibly the same way you'd format a PGP disk.
OS/2's HPFS? :)
So what they should do is wiretap *everything* and post it all to www.theultimatereality.com :)
Is "VOIP" specific to Vonage/Packet 8, or does that include "VOIP", the protocol itself.
Is this actually defined somewhere?

That's precisely the problem. You can't *trust* the network you use, but you can trust your data and the software you use to transport it.
If it's open source ;)
"If everyone had a wireless node, would we need the Internet?".
Not that it'll happen over night, but it will happen eventually.
You need to secure your box, and your protocols. Not your physical transport.
Keep Wireless open and create free infrastructure. The dream of Mesh is a crack dream, but crack is real.
We should be pushing for universal cryptography over every IP network, not assuming we can keep people off the wire. Opportunistic IPSEC anyone?
Don't talk about lieing about statistics if you haven't done it yourself.
Wouldn't extracting the cold lake water increase the temperature of the lake by simply not being there anymore?
If so and this technology really flies (ie: competition) how much extra cold water are they going to suck out of the lake? Over 30 years?
Right, they are heating up the city's drinking supply by cooling down the air-conditioning "water loop".

I mean, why not switch to a private, internal Email domain instead?
For all anyone knows his boss was called in and asked about his computer usage, justified it and satisfied the powers that be.
It's not like this Admin has any right to be kept in the loop.
google for "vertical service codes"

If charities could not write out tax reciepts, would Bill and Co still be involved?
Why were you spoofing caller ID?

Bah! Spouting off slogans isn't an answer!
Especially in the capacity as Civil Servent.
