Good to see that Pete Shipley is still being credited as someone who matters in the wireless world. Heaven forbid they actually find an intelligent reliable source for their article.
He's probably the one who told them home-made antennas are illegal.
I'm not exactly sure how this is news. They implemented this in limited fashion last year. I made the horrible mistake of hitting 'thumbs up' on some American car commercial. Six weeks later, I got a huge package at my mailbox with a ton of spam, brochures, and a dvd of the vehicle that had been on TV and the information for my local dealership.
The hardest part was getting OFF Of that spam list from that dealer. I called the car company, and they had no idea how I got onto any of their lists and didn't show me in their spam list. It was apparently only sent to the local dealership.
Either way, once you opt-in, there is no easy way to opt-out. Asking for 'more information' will get you a continued amount of information.
I support Yahoo's stance in this matter. While he's dead and really doesn't have a care in the world, because nothing about him besides a pile of flesh exists..
Out of respect, what if there were things he never wanted them to know? What if he was gay and having an internet relationship with some man, and his parents were anti-gay? They would then be left thinking they never knew their own son, and all of this crap.
If you want people to have access to that sort of thing, leave them access. Put your passwords in a safe or something if you MUST write them down.
Yahoo and others should not be giving access to an individuals person email, dead or alive. I don't care if the family presents a death certificate or not. You should have a reasonable expectation of privacy and deceny even after death. Let your personal life die with you.
Tom Hayes is set to step down as director this month. I wonder if he maybe had a personal grudge against this guy.
Mr. Hayes is apparently as ignorant as he believes the programmer was. I imagine there are a LOT of people who would get fired if all managers were as ignorant as this tool.
Either way, it's too bad neither of the phone numbers that show up on Google for "tom hayes, ohio" were actually him. I'd certainly love to for him to realize his ignorance.. 24x7.
and even this new company is doing a beta period.. so they can't say they were the first production one either.
What about the dozens of websites that are running on single processor linux boxes that offer a gig of webmail. Just because they don't do press releases and marketing.. doesn't mean they didn't do it first.
nstld.verisign-grs.com should be the authority for.com and.net.. the actual TLD's.. but if you look at the authority section for a valid domain, such as slashdot.org;; AUTHORITY SECTION: slashdot.org. 86400 IN NS ns1.vasoftware.com. slashdot.org. 86400 IN NS ns2.vasoftware.com. slashdot.org. 86400 IN NS ns3.vasoftware.com.
It still seems that if *only* verisign or the root servers are listed as the authority server.. than something is wrong.. A valid non-root server should also be listed if the domain is valid.. no?
Well, mail bounces for a lot more reasons than user not existing. Some spam softwares return the messages (Mine does not).. But on the same token, addressing email to a domain that does not exist will end up there. Most mail configurations will default to connect to an A record if an MX does not exist. So if no mail server is defined for blah.com, it will just go to whatever blah.com resolves to as a type A.
Either way.. There are quite a few reasons they could hit them. It would be a terrible burden on the mail servers queuing, but I think the real problem is.. They just shouldn't have done this.. either way, it causes problems further than I believe they really gave thought or perhaps care to.
Not only will mail have problems, as the "non-existent domain" check will always fail.. but this is completely criminal it seems.
I hate to mention, but they are giving Microsoft a dose of their own medicine.. taking away their ability to bring you to their 'search' page for non-existent domains.. and AOL's own feature similar to that. It hurts google, since Verisign teamed with yahoo on this one for search services (Although, google provides yahoos search functionality for now).
All.com domains are resolving with an authoratitive section of Verisign's server.. and.net's with the list of root servers. It would seem that no domain should ever resolve with either of those as an authority.. The real dns server for the domain should. Hopefully BIND and other DNS packages will start blocking domains that have a root server or a verisign server as the authoratitive dns server.
Further.. they'll be harvesting bounced email addresses for sure. If you get spammed from a bunk domain, and it gets returned.. or you typo and email address.. they are nice enough to run a mail daemon on port 25 to harvest those addresses. It lets you helo, from, rcpt, and data.. and then closes your connection.. just long enough to snag all the info it wants from you.
This entire thing is a mess, and seems like it should be highly illegal. Hopefully OpenSRS and GoDaddy and others will have a fit over it. This just seems completely wrong.
Samba-tng forked off of samba quite a while ago. The user base using tng is still very small. There is a flurry of people checking it out each time a new release comes out (Which lately has been due to security problems in both code bases).
The user lists are fairly slow, and there are a few developers on the dev lists. The development is still highly active, but the purpose of TNG isn't as important to most people as the functionality and features of Samba it self. The people who need to the changes made in TNG, will go to TNG. However, the vast majority of people don't need anything beyond what the base Samba 2.x or 3.x code has.
Then again.. I would also say, most people haven't checked out the rad features included in rpcclient with tng.. which makes pen testing windows extremely easy.. Oh wait, so does dcom.:)
Slashdot Mirror
Looks like someone should have hired better consultants, or realized it before they implemented when their scope was defined.
It's entirely possible, they had complete idiots implementing their software.. OR, that the software itself was horrible.
I would also guess, they didn't know how to troubleshoot their own problems.
Zonk,
Why do you think all of your worthless posts are worth of the front page?
Why don't you start posting every new release on Freshmeat to the front page as a full article?
Also, you don't ever check your E-Mail do you. Probably at quota with flames.
Ah, it's bliss now. Thanks!
I never noticed that section of preferences. Now I can be alone with Cowboy neal on the front page.
Look in your upper left hand corner.
This doesn't matter. Half the crap Zonk has been posting doesn't matter. News for nerds.. maybe.. Stuff that matters? No.
Does slashdot have a way where you can set in your preference "Completely hide ANYTHING that was posted by an ignorant fool like Zonk" ?
Dupes, fake articles, and complete retardedness. 90% of Slashdot seems to be Zonk lately, and it all sucks.
Hey, there are 250 Hydrogen cars roaming around Los Angeles today. They just aren't for sale to the public.
I think a better way to put it would be "And there will be hydrogen fueling stations in every state..", since that's a hell of a lot more unlikely.

You could always make sure you are taking photographs and making videos that are high enough quality that the entire internet would enjoy them..
:)
Post them on your website.. make sure they are cool.. and just like Usenet, they are now archived all over the world on your behalf.

Even if you could bypass it.. Do you think submitting an order for a product that is out of stock is going to get you anywhere?
Maybe they'll just pull a few PCR's out of their behinds?
Better get a discount on those.
Sounds like Sprint's failed 'Ion' program.
flaimbait? That was hillarious and true.

It gives that error if you apply "Protect Document" under tools.
They are talking about the feature under:
Tools/Options/Save and then use a 'modify' password.
I couldn't get %01 to work in IE 6 or Mozilla 1.5,
I used %00
Proof..
So, yes it does. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Works identical in Mozilla and IE.
The same bug exists in Mozilla 1.5 as well.
I called Skynet, and this was their quote:
"Telstar 4 experienced a short circuit of primary its power bus and is not fixable. This satellite is offline permanently."
nstld.verisign-grs.com should be the authority for .com and .net.. the actual TLD's.. but if you look at the authority section for a valid domain, such as slashdot.org ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

Most mail servers will attempt to deliver mail to the A record if an MX does not exist.
So if asldfjasldf123.com doesn't have an MX.. it'll resolve it as an A record, and attempt to connect direct.
