One thing that I learnt very quickly is that it is worth the effort to set reminders for Birthdays, Wedding-anniversaries, Engagement-anniversaries, Valentines Day et cetera. NOT only on the day itself: 1 month AND 1 week in advance: the month for reservation options for restaurants or gifts that take longer to get, and the 1 week option just in case you somehow did not get to finish the 1-month-idea. And you can just explain that you NEVER would forget $eventfulDay, but somehow are not really good in keeping track of the current date. That she will understand. But you are both German, of is it just you being German, is the wedding taking place in Germany? We Europeans _could_ do with a bit more facts.
Falsified reply-to address? Joe-job? Go do you home-work, boy.
if you have to be an offending smartass, at least read and understand my posting.
"the sender will get a non-delivery notification " : if the senders' address is not the spammers' address (gee, really?) the wrong person gets the notification. That is a FAIL, boy. Go do your home-work before acting here as an anonymous l33t mailserver-admin. It's crap wannabe admins like you that stink up the internet.
SRSLY, i don't see the big problem in fighting spam. we have the technology.
my own _tiny_ mailserver (hosting about a hundred users) is effectively REJECTING spam using out-of-the box, not even customized technologies & services (thanks go to those who set them up) (policyd-weight, spamassassin, clamav w/ SaneSecurity). if false negatives should occur (never happened to me), the sender will get a non-delivery notification so he/she can act on it. large sites otoh should be able to fight spam using statistic methods.

I wasn't talking about an objective comparison based on common beliefs. I was simply saying that his statement is not provable for his systems unless they have been compromised. You have to be compromised before you can KNOW what is required to prevent it.
A car analogy: one takes the fastest car in the world, and let it race a mile against me, me being by foot. So you state that although the car might finish the mile in a few seconds, it is not proven to be faster UNTIL I HAVE CROSSED THE FINISH-LINE?!?

It's hard to compare to 'normal' people, because someone like Steve Jobs would have had an team of the very best surgeons working on him, and generally the best medical care that money could buy..
This being Slashdot, that raises interesting questions. Steve's not rich because he was born into a banker family, in fact, he was adopted. He's rich because people bought his products.
So, is it bad if he uses that money to get the kind of treatment you and I can't afford?
Yes, he EARNED his money, it was not given to him. Is it bad then to spend it to save his life? Whilst other people cannot afford to do so? Please Mr. +4 Insightful: blame the system, not the users.
By the way: it's not always a matter of money, sometimes it's a matter of available and suitable donors. Who are you going to blame for that? The living, for not dying? The dead, for not being suitable?
Yes, karma to burn, but I'm not a whiner: I can take it.
2 gig is too big for a Christmas card, plain and simple. If it were 128 meg sticks it would've been funny and people would perhaps keep it as they received it, because there's nothing else to do with. Now people will erase them and forget about the Christmas thingie. Anyway, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agfV_CFnfg4 because why not?
Assuming the document is small, you could install Xerobank (formerly TorPark) and create an account on Wikileaks and upload it to Wikileaks through the Tor onion router. Your anonymity would be assured in a hilariously sound manner.
Your website need do nothing more than link to Wikileaks and ponder how it got there.
That would be my plan of action. I would also be careful with all the machines/devices used to transfer that file.
Depending on how important/inflammable this document is, I might look into buying a cheap 20GB laptop hard drive, installing ubuntu, going to a star bucks, doing the above and then "disposing" of the drive and all media so that there are no questions. Sorry to sound like Harvey Keitel on Pulp Fiction but... when you're dealing with serious stuff...
My question is: would you host it if you were asked? How would you go about protecting the document and yourself?
Anonym.OS is a the way to go: http://sourceforge.net/projects/anonym-os/ Discard of the CD-ROM afterwards, or not: no trace left. Ideal for a hit&run-action. But one question: why would you upload the document and such? Just give them an account with some webspace and email-account on your server/domain, "so they can play around with php and mysql wink-wink notch-notch", and play innocent when the cease-and-desist letters come in.
What I find baffling is that Goofy is a dog, and Pluto is a dog. But Goofy wears clothes, drives, and talks - and Pluto just runs around, barks and wags his tail.
w= resulting speed u= speed of one object v= speed of the other object c= speed of light
u + v
w = ---------
1 + uv/c2
Under 'human' circumstances the u and the v would be soo small compared to c, that uv/c2 would approximate to 0, and w could be considered u + v. Yet if u and/or v are high, for instance half the speed of light, w would not be u + v =.5c +.5c = c = the speed of light, but c/(1 + (.25c2/c2)) => c/1.25 =.8c

Sony PSP: $170 ($120 refurbed)
Nintendo DS: $170 ($80 refurbed)
Nintendo Wii: $250
Apple Touch8G: $229
32G: $399
Apples Potential Strategy:
1. Alter the touch to add an up/down/left/right and A, B button (10 extra bucks from a manufacturing standpoint!? I'm pulling this number out of my ass... but adding something that simple and mass producing can't be expensive)
2. Release the 16gig as the new 8gig ($225... maybe bring it down down $199 to combat current systems)
3. Now hardcores get what they want, wii crowd gets a portable wii like system
4. Introduce a massive new crowd to the iTunes store who might not have used it before
5. Massive profit
No, not MORE buttons on the device. That is not an Apple philosophy. If it only were 2 cm taller, left and right on the touchscreen (tilted sideways) would be room for buttons though...
I don't know about that, just earlier today I was reading a post from a slashdotter from Norway that said cellphone modem connections don't count as broadband by some technical definition yet the Verizon Rev A, AT&T 3G and Sprint 3G (not to mention their pilot 4G) network all fit his definition. Cost is still high, especially when you consider the low 5GB caps but with a modern smart phone the US networks are plenty advanced. Personally I love an OS 4.5 Blackberry and Safari on the iPhone 3G is very cool for pages that Opera mini doesn't parse well.
Broadband is on one hand defined as a multiplex connexion, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-carrier T1 for instance, on the other the FCC defines it as a >200 kbit connection (either up or down). OT, but hopefully informative.
+1 Insightful, please!
This move will drive newspapers consumption even further into the ground.
I always say this, if traditional printed newspapers want to survive the digital age, all they need to do is go 100% ad-sponsored and distribute it to the public for FREE. Much cheaper than developing some proprietary shit hat ony runs on some shit, which you have to spend a shit load of money to get.
Aaand there go the quality papers, that actually more rely on subscriptions and sales, and HELLO to the umptieth version of The Sun Online and it's worse sisters.
"I want to fuck you like an animal / I want to feel you from the inside" is deliberately one of the most inflammatory chorus lines ever seen in the mainstream.. moms seeing those slick iphone commercials and thinking of buying one for christmas might freak if they heard about that song being "promoted" on the app store that their kid will be browsing innocently.
Um, how do you suppose they got to be moms in the first place?
and, I don't understand how its 'inflammatory'? It is crude but hey, thats what immature is all about..
Hopefully they got to be mom when they we're adults, and that's the point here.
