Problem is when someone asks for the query "cd key". CD and Key are different keywords, it's the COMBINATION that makes them dangerous.
What this complaint is suggesting is that Google algorithm has an AI to detect illegal searches. AFAIK, it doesn't. And even if it did, it would be a serious threat to freedom of speech. Just block the combination of words "sony" and "rootkit". See?
Opt out a single request (your blurry-hashed e-mail). This way the P2P network can concentrate on the logic of "if" and "how" a server should be requested.
In my journal (see below) we're discussing approaches to decentralize blue frog.
Professr3, I added you to my friends list. I'm willing to provide a sourceforge space to make a distributed version of Blue Frog.
It's going to be called "Black Frog" (a sourceforge friend of mine came up with the idea), please mail me to inquire more. I'm *NOT* willing to let the spammers step over our rights!
I also joined the bluefrogfanclub, but haven't been confirmed of my membership.
when they do a diff between their original and cleaned lists, they nicely get my email address out.
They can joe-job one person. They can joe-job 10. They can even joe-job 1,000.
But when they have 100,000,000 black frog users, it won't make a difference at all. Our strength is OUR NUMBERS. Black Frog will allow us to unite in the fight.
Besides, they ALREADY got your e-mail when they spammed you, didn't they?
The problem would be how to make a distributed system that can't be poisoned or decieved by an attacker.
Easy. Make it not relying on a server or P2P network at all. You only opt out *YOUR* e-mail address (hashed, of course). The mails will be either automated or human-verified (by you).
Bastards! They deleted the source files! They could at least give the source code for us to share.
Anyway, this clearly gives us one choice: Decentralizing Blue Frog.
The concept has been proven. Flooding the servers with opt-out requests.
So I propose this: Make a decentralized "black frog" which directly analyses the e-mails and begins doing what Blue Frog did. But this time, it's per-user.
If anyone wants to start the Black Frog project, give me a message (my gmail address is posted in my account).
The concept is this. Instead of asking the spammers to download the "do not intrude" list, hash your own mails using the following formula:
hash = substr(SHA1(e-mail),32). And in the post tell the spammer to remove this hash from their mailing list. (We can include random hashes to make it blurry).
If anyone wants to start the project, I'd be happy to organize it.
We need:
* At least one person with access to the Blue Frog sourcecode, or someone who has helped in programming the Blue Frog * Lots of programmers
We have received a newsflash directly from Sony Japan to announce their most revolutionary step: A name change. To appeal more feelings from the public, Sony has decided to replace all the N's in their logo with RR's.
OK can anybody tell me why an opinion is labelled as Troll? I'd label this as informative, or interesting, even insightful. Flamebait, I would concede, but TROLL?
Right or wrong, it's an opinion. It seems that there are some overpatriotic mods in here.
Nothing better to clear the government from a conspiracy charge than a theorist saying it was missiles and not airplanes. Compare this with globalphobics - while there are many legitimate people asking for a change in the way Uncle Sam does business with poor nations, all the govt. has to do is throw in some zealots to mix with the population and discredit the movement entirely.
So, let's forget about the UFO guys and the "it wasn't airplanes it was missiles" nutjobs. What about a much more plausible conspiracy? i.e. Bush (or one of his friends) having an agreement with Osama (Let's not forget that the Bin Ladens DID have business with the Bush family - i'm talking about Oil).
Here's how it goes:
You play the bad guy, I play the good guy, but I don't catch you and instead I go for Iraq. I become the national hero, just in time for the 2004 elections. Meanwhile you keep threatening the west with more attacks to keep the public in fear.
Scientifically, this idea is not far fetched AT ALL. The problem with it, is that it would turn Bush (or the CIA) into a cold blooded murderer who sacrificed thousands of american lives to gain political power - and that's so shocking that nobody would ever believe it.
Except one annoying reporter, so let's give him a call and tell him to shut up, and in the meantime, throw in some conspiracy theorists to make noise so the people won't ever find out the truth.
When you said that the first thought that came to my mind were the James Bond inventions in Q's lab.
Bond: Hey, Q, what's that? Q: It's our new prototype for a wireless plane. Just make sure you DON'T... (Plane starts moving and goes through a wall) Q:..DON'T turn on your cellphone!
Why should I care whether it has a microkernel or monolithic kernel?
Because with Microkernel, we could have proprietary drivers *cough* ATI, nVidia *cough* without having to worry about the driver messing up the system.

We need your ideas. Please visit my journal and contribute to the Black Frog project. Thanks.

SPAM is _NOT_ a fact of life! It's the symptom of a very serious problem: Lack of computer security, and a bad mail protocol.
If you give up now, you'll end up admitting that stealing, raping, kidnapping and murdering is a fact of life.
It's not. Crimes are to be FOUGHT and our AUTHORITIES are doing NOTHING about it.
but spam is a problem of traffic
NO! SPAM is a problem of bandwidth STEALING! Spammers are using OUR bandwidth to GAIN MONEY.
Remove one of the two (our bandwith, or their money) and we'll solve the problem.
The ISPs should just close port 25 by default unless they get a phone request.
Is that so hard to do?
It's the spammers' CLIENTS that Blue Security is going after.
This is why they got so pissed off in the first place.

This way, the company's new logo is:

I have a question - once we get there, how are we supposed to get Bush back? :P
OK can anybody tell me why an opinion is labelled as Troll? I'd label this as informative, or interesting, even insightful. Flamebait, I would concede, but TROLL?
Right or wrong, it's an opinion. It seems that there are some overpatriotic mods in here.
Websites? Mostly. Intranets? Screw it.

Yeah, but when they get mad they start throwing chairs around. Beware.

Ah, yeah, nothing more sexy than allowing everybody to see its bones, veins and internal organs. Pyramid Head would have a nosebleed.
It's NOT slashdotted guys. It's "Buffering..." :P
Heh, you beat me to it. Seriously, the best marketing for Microsoft is to "leak" one of its products.
"Ooh shiny^Hleaked!"
I'm sure that somewhere in Redmond, Bill Gates must be laughing at us right now.

Minix recently moved to version 3
And Linux seems to be stuck on version 2.6
HAH! Windows was on version 3 SO MANY YEARS AGO. Eat your heart out, Linux!
