If at all, this article confirms what I have been reading on self-help books for years. There is a technique in NLP where you drink half of a glass of water with a problem in mind before going to sleep and drink the other half in the morning. The answer usually comes to you within minutes or during the next few hours. Also, in the Silva Method they have some variations of this technique known as Dream Control and Glass of Water.
I took the Silva Method Seminar and their goal is to teach you how to operate at alpha (a relaxed state of mind where most of your brain is oscilating at alpha brainwaves). They claim that you should "think in alpha and act on beta" and you learn how to make your brain enter alpha at will and use this for self-improvement.

As to validate a bit what the article says, I've been doing.NET stuff for more than 3 years, posted my resume this week and I already got interviews scheduled . I am asking in the high 80's and they don't seem to have a problem with it here in DFW.
Almost all comments I've readed so far are missing the point that this is all to blame to the Project Manager or lack of thereof.
From the article:
Info-Tech asserts that the top three "perceived" reasons for project failures include unrealistic time frames, staff shortages and poorly defined project scopes
A good project manager will convince the customer about the unrealistic time frames, he will estimate cost and timeframe based on resources available, he will allocate reserves based on the risks taken with the project so it is always finished in time and on budget
In the Project Management classes I've been taking we've learn techniques to stablish the risk of the project not being finished in time and within budget and to allocate reserves (in time and money) for it.
Software engineering is the job of the functional manager developing a specific module (work package)
If it reachs a Jury they may simpatize with you. I think the RIAA will try everything in their power to prevent that and get a summary judgement like they did with that lady. If they file PSJ, just use stuff like SCO legal tactics to open it for appeal.
Is there a mechanism in this country for the peple to to throw out bad laws?, something like putting proposition on ballots. I know some states have stuff like that (California recall anyone?). I think we can fix all the laws passed by lobbyist, campaing contributors and bribed congressman.
The idea is great for the US where you have flat rate local calls, however I see it will very diffictult to find somebody volunteering their phone lines in South America or any country where greedy phone companies like Spain's Telefonica run the show. In there you pay per minute for you local calls and I can see somebody's phone bill growing exponentially.
As long as your phone supports SIP it will work out-of-the box with Asterisk. I understand Avaya released firmware updates for some of their phones to add SIP support to them. Check Avaya's support website.
A flag in DNS MX record to indicate IP addreses of servers allowed to send email from their domain, SMTP servers will reject mail from IPs not in that list, this will get rid of all these spammers spoofing hotmail, yahoo, etc. accounts.
On their first season I was warming up the idea of following the series until they ended it with that stupid cliff-hanger. I was so pissed off I completely skipped season two and part of season 3. I just got back to it thanks to a site with.torrents of all previous episodes.
I don't know about you guys but I hate when they try to pull your leg with cliff-hangers and all these popup-like annoying techniques.
Hopely the story will have and ending this season since they expected the show to be cancelled.
After reading all the hype about Gentoo I decided to try it for an old P2 I was setting for my home asterisk PBX and after 6 hours I was still half-way on the install process (stage 3). I don't have time for that so I rebooted the computer with the Mandrake 9.2 CD and my asterisk was up and running less than an hour later.
I don't know if I did something wrong but do they have an automatic install?
They actually give you their website addresses when sending you an html message with images in it. I wonder if there is a database with all these urls so we all can block any email that contains them. This would make spamming more expensive since they will be forced to register a new domain after every spam run.
What about creating a new DNS RR that would tell your MTA to only accept emails from a domain if the sender's ip address is in the MX list for the domain. This can avoid domain spoofing.
Also, force that the email you pass in the MAIL FROM: to match the one in the To: header.
Another one: force the server name passed with HELO to be a valid FQDN that maps to the ip address of the sender.
I know these measures can blow some mail lists but I think mail-list maintainers will be willing to modify their software if that helps getting rid of some spam. I have been working blocking spammers lately and in 99% of the cases they spoof the server name at HELO and the email addresses.
Maybe creating a new DNS RR to indicate the ip addresses of servers authorized to send email from a domain. Big domains like hotmail.com, yahoo.com, msn.com could set these and our MTAs will check whether the sender's ip address is in their lists. Of course it should check it both at the MAIL FROM: and within headers.
I agree with the fact that SMTP should be revised/replaced with a new protocol. I think is time to create a new mail transport protocol plugging the holes exploted by spammers.
There are a lot of different ideas on how to combat spam, but nobody has organized a "get together and solve the problem" convention.
Sure bets are:
- Supporting actor: Ian McKellen (He *is* Gandalf)
- Costume design
- Makeup
- Visual effects
- Screenplay based on material previously
produced or published (I guess we all agree on this one)
Not so sure:
- Sound track
- Original song
- Cinematography
- Art direction (Mouling Rouge may get this one)
Almost no chance:
- Best movie
- Best director
Why? two words: Liv Tyler. She killed the movie as Arwen. She is ok for teenager movies where every other actor sucks. Jackson should not get best director because he allowed it to happen.
No chance at all:
- Best editing and sound editing (some ugly sync problems that scene where Arwen takes Froddo to Rivendel)
Just quietly delete all of you spam, and when spammers stop making money then they will eventually stop
There will be always dumb people, so that's not the answer. I have some ideas:
- SMTP servers should come with a restricted incoming mail policy by default (no more than 10 mails from same IP/domain per minute or something like that). Postmasters could even charge you for unrestricted sending access making spam more expensive.
- A flag in DNS MX record to indicate IP addreses of servers allowed to send email from their domain, SMTP servers will reject mail from IPs not in that list, this will get rid of all these spammers spoofing hotmail, yahoo, etc. accounts.
I think it is time for these big internet organizations like W3C to get together and set email server standars against spam.

Ok, but how they defend themselves?. Galactica is the only battleship they've got.

What about Mitsubishi's Pajero SUV, it was a flop when introduced in Chile because "pajero" is slang for slugish because of masturbating too much....
now, would you like to be known as the one driving a slugish SUV?
just to play safe, she should name it "The REAL katie.com" just make sure to put "The real" in very small font right on top.

Try Oracle Collaboration Suite... comes with a pretty powerful calendar engine.
No. They hide their addresses.

I think they got a roaming agreement with AT&T GSM, my T68i started showing T-mobile in areas where AT&T signal was too low a few weeks ago.
Where can I buy one of these?
How long until spammers sue Earthink to stop them from deploying this?
No if you include a thing like the one ebay or ticketmaster use to trap bots.
One of the biggest problems that these systems have is that they are totally incapable of handling Solicited email from a Bot. Examples include:
That's what whitelist are for...
