How could you respond to something like that? Politically the cards are stacked against you with such a baiting statement, so no matter what response these companies are on the defensive.
Unlike most trolls, ignoring them might land you with a lawsuit.
At best, disgusting. At worst, corporate terrorism.
I don't mean to be rude, or be a grammar Nazi, but that word really gets on my nerves, because everybody seems to use it without even knowing where it comes from, and how it makes those who use it come across...
DJs are interested in a turntable which: ...
Doesn't mind being stopped, reversed, etc (there's no "accidental" about it!)
Typically DJs will use a foam or cloth pad between the platter and the record so that the platter keeps spinning at speed and the record is the only thing that stops/reverses/etc.
The high torque is still important so that the platter maintains the correct speed when the pad stops sliding and grabs the record after being released.
There's no real story here... Many other countries have "fuzzier" rules concerning time zones, DST, etc. Unix-based applications that utilize these libraries which are based on customizable rules have had no issue "over there", so there's no reason to expect a problem "over here".
In the MS world, so what if the system time is off by an hour two months out of the year? Maybe a sprinkler system will surprise some kids on the way to school?
On the other hand, it'd be interesting to see what happens with the CDMA cellular networks (Verizon, Sprint) since their system timing is derived via GPS and therefore all the software has to match concepts of time. Some of their vendors have issues with this in the past, but all that I've been aware of were solved within hours.
While doing work for some telecom companies down in Brazil I ran into this because evidently (depending on province) they pass a resolution each year determining when to start DST and when to come off, usually planning around holidays and the whims of people in those positions. They have suggested dates, but they sometimes vary from year to year.
For most *nix systems, look in/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo for zone definition files. If you're lucky (or have Solaris), there's a src directory in there.
On the other hand you could try to roll your own like I did for Belo Horizonte and edit the rules in one of the source files (I would think "northamerica" for the US;)
Do a man zic for more info on compiling and then distributing to other systems.
If I set up a domain and tell the SPF address to allow any machine on the internet to send mail then i've totally destroyed the value of SPF. However, it's value in controlling pishing should not be underestimated.
BS... If you wish to allow anyone in the universe to send email officially as a member of your domain, you've only succeeded in destroying the value of your domain.
SPF isn't for eliminating spam email (which it is too often blamed for), but to eliminate others from forging your domain. Conversely, this also holds the domain accountable for what gets sent from it.
Domain blacklists will be much more useful than the RBL spinoffs some people still insist on using now. This would meet your requirement #1.
SPF prevents you from joe-jobbing, which goes a long way for your point #2.
The server hosting my mailing list and tens of thousands like it will hate you for your point #3. Why should I have to increase my computational load to give me the service I do now?
Perhaps a better idea would be that for each email you send, you must run 15 laps around your house, thereby throttling the send rate and keeping geeks everywhere fit n trim at the same time!
Don't most ISP TOS clearly state that you cannot resell or otherwise reassign bandwidth?
I know that most ISPs don't care about the occasional webserver or two, but now you're aiding a commercial enterprise that isn't giving the ISP their slice of the pie.
What I find extremely odd is that the Gungans breathed atmosphere, yet lived underwater in a seemingly unnatural (i.e. gungan-made) underwater city. Are they just the evolution of a penal colony?
I mean really -- my wife's uncle has a business that uses several machines from the early 90's still running DOS applications. They haven't stopped working since then and work perfectly for the tasks they do. No, they don't run the latest and greatest MS Office, but there's absolutely no reason for them to.
So... why upgrade them? If doesn't make sense to me other than MS is trying to sell more software to an already_tapped_once market.
I just slapped down $1k for mine right before all of this came to light. That would definitely have affected my purchase decision and DTV better keep right by me or I'm going to walk and not look back.
At least I will when the cablecard HD tivo comes out;)
Yeah! And when the cops let murderers, armed robbers and rapists run amok beacause busting simple copyright infringers pays a kickback, that's cool too. After all, you get free bandwidth!;b
But while the cops are running after the murderers, armed robbers and rapists, who's left to watch out for the children?!
how come IBM haven't been able to litigate their way out of the SCO scam?
Because IBM isn't out to win the suit so much as to completely obliterate SCO. Time is definitely on IBM's side, not SCO's as legal expenses scurry off into dark places and procreate.

...are you trying to dupe yourself? *scratches head*
Hence the title of my reply... So Nyaaah =P~~~
Maybe I should watch how I use heavy words like that around here... think of the children!

Yes.. all these joysticks designed for the corporate environment just don't address the specific needs of gamers.
Now that we know, can we use it?

Heh.. Hit the wrong reply link and read only half of yours... Didn't mean to overstate the obvious, but typical ;)

You'll find a README file with a reference to a place with updated zone files.

IMPRESSIVE!
Personally I think the site echos with the sounds of salesmen...

of saaaaaaaalesmen!
Perhaps we can place a copy onboard for the next shuttle launch and send that piece back where it came fome. *shudder*

I guess they do live "down under"...
If I recall correctly, your submission came up as a blank screen...

And... Neon makes the faster car.
As they see me going...

They also provide the opportunities for you to collect a paycheck in that line of work, so cut them some slack... They're only quasi-evil.
