Wheels of Congress and the Judicial System are greased with slippery Microsoft Cash. We have only ourselves to blame for buying their crap, and we shouldn't be suprised to see them try to get us to buy more of their crap, not by earning our loyalty, but by forcefully taking it through purchasing of other companies.
How about you build a quality vehicle that doesn't sound or run like shit after 85K miles??? Or you could even implement style, or better yet, mileage?
Try this one on for size: Honor your warranties, you over bloated finacial baffoons. How about an electrical system that doesn't make the gauges go haywire every time it rains or gets a little humid.
I don't give a flying rat shit about the frills GM, just build me a dependable vehicle, and I'll come buy your cars.
There are a hundred ways to verify if a SMTP server is being used for naughty purposes.
I wasn't referring to the millions of legitimate users, but those that are "allowed" to compromise them. I've spoken with several Telus employees on this issue, and they really don't think they are causing a problem for some reason.
I'm talking about filtering mail for Canadians. It's Canadian domains that get bombed from their servers. It's a shame that a large company like that can become so loose and corrupt, simply because of a lack of caring.
When a Union is trying to be broken in the US, they do all kinds of crazy shit to cause problems before they are ousted (Speaking from experience from my workplace). And the temps or replacement workers are even worse because they lack the skills to correct the problem. Plus they have the added pressures of management to do their job regardless of that fact.
I know for a fact that Telus allows spammers to exploit their mail servers for $$$.
It wouldn't suprise me that they would allow other equipment to be compromised or "paid off" to disallow politically motivated sites.
WAKE UP Canada! This is the type of censorship that occurs in China. This is what can happen when you have only 1 ISP in a large market. I have long wanted to ban Telus mail servers from sending mail to us, but unfortunately, Telus is some peoples ONLY option for service. Speak with your dollars my Northern friends.:)
Microsofts definition of "spam" is any mail not sent from an exchange server. Therefore the answer is to create a proprietary technology that won't run on open source mail servers such as Postfix, and reject mail that doesn't come from it.
Be a real software company and tight up your mail systems. And quit trying to reinvent the wheel.
I can sit and watch my RBL rejections on my spam filters running Postfix and 90% of my spam comes from AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail...so F U Microsuck. Before you remove the spec from my eye...take the big fucking tree out of yours.
"Remove a fly from your friend's forhead with an axe."
All people that access open WiFi networks are transmitting child porn and stealing credit card info. So we must prosecute all violators in order to catch the 0.25 percent who are shitbags out there, regardless of criminal intent.
All three government branches in this country are severly fucked up, and need cleansing. Nobody upholds our constitution anymore, nor considers it when writing new laws.
Your life will be easy, as long as you don't shine laser pointers at airplanes, log on to an open WiFi network for quick internet access, or raise your rake at a police officer, or reach for your wallet to get out your ID.
The answer is in the technology. There are methods out there to kill spam even before it gets to the mail server. (I'm not talking expensive software either) Install these methods, then have a pay per advertisement subscription service.
It's a two edged sword,
1. mail server abuse stops, because spammers can't communicate with them.
2. Advertisers get a more focused client base.
Not to mention the extra revenue generated from subscription services. We can close these channels up, closing the door to these sleazeballs, reversing the tables. We need to take the profitablility out of spamming. It's been proven that laws are only as good as they are enforced. This fine for this Aussie is a slap on the wrist...he needs to spend some quality time with Bubba (maybe 2 or 3 years). The methods that some of these spammers use is the equivalent to hacking. Even worse because they consume server resources.
I would gladly pay for OSX that would run on my Centrino. I paid less for the same performance as a G4 powerbook, however, all I am missing is a performance OS (which is why I have FC3 running on it). I would even pay $250 for it.
I think Apple doesn't want to open a pandora's box of hardware support. Imagine every other whiteboxer posting, calling and bitching because they can't get their latest SiS board to work?
Either Apple is not willing to offer support for anything other then an x86 CPU on their boards, or they just simply don't want the extra revenue from software sales.
The fact of the matter is...their hardware sales would go straight in the shitter if they released OSX to run on more reasonably priced IBM comatible hardware. They would be back to selling Mac's to educational institutions, and artistic fanatics wearing black turtlenecks and wire rimmed glasses.
A full on frontal assault on Microshit is not in the cards for Apple. They could do it, but I doubt Stevie can see past the "beauty" of his cases.
I'll be shopping on ebay next year for Intel boards w/cracked BIOS for OSXi...How about you?
Tough decision ahead for me, purchase Tiger for my PC, or...continue to bang my head on the keyboard with driver support, and 10 different distros going in 150 different directions.
I for one, have been waiting for the arrival of x86 OSX.
Who wouldn't welcome BSD security and Stability with fullout hardware support? HERE is your Microsoft Dragon slayer here....
Japan surrendering to us was vital, as they where a key ally in the Cold War and they are now essential to our economy.
Japan under their former government had negotiated peace with us with some pretty peace medals before Pearl Harbor.
Granted that nuclear weapons are horrible if used, but they are and were powerful negotiating tools that led to the fall of Soviet Russia.
I say now that they are an obsolete weapon that there should only be a small reserve of for "extreme" situations, (asteroids, moving mountains to find buried religious terroris zealots).
FINAL POINT: It's hard to argue that nuclear weapon technologies haven't helped the human race progress (Nuclear Power Plants, Np'd shipping vessesl, radiation cancer treatment, the list goes on and on).
You can put the Genie back in the bottle for another 1000 years if you make your 3 wishes:
1. I wish for no more nukes.
2. I wish for no more nukes.
3. I wish for no more nukes.
*poof* Back in the bottle.
Statistics, Facts and Logic have proven that actually DROPPING 2 A-Bombs at the end of WWII prevented the deaths of MILLIONS of Japanese, and Allied troops. To bad we can't follow that logic doctrine any more. Somewhere along the line, destroying your enemy, and then helping them build a newer and better country turned into a bad thing.
I have an Asus Centrino Laptop, the only thing that doesn't work right is the wireless BG adapter.
How about native Centrino support. I think SuSe 9.3 has it, are there any others? My laptop is mostly for diagnostic purposes, and wireless capability would be great.
Recently, an actual Wolverine was found in Michigan. Scientists for years said that the Wolverine wasn't native, and was considered extinct in Michigan (except for the Ann Arbor variety).
Scientists and Environmentalists tend see other species as finite and place their "rules" on the creatures exsistence, and habitats. It's almost like the forget about the Darwin factor, that the planet is always changing and it's species will accomodate.
Why the guilty feeling when a species becomes extinct? Did this flower play such a unique roll in the ecosystem? One so unique that no other flower can do what it does?
Wildlife management is quite the lucritave business. I don't think we should be playing God when it comes to preserving a species.
Protect some of their habitat, and let them decide their exsistence.
Another fine example of humans intervening is with the Loggerhead Sea Turtles. Every night May-October, people walk the beaches and raid nests to collect eggs, raise them in captivity, and release them in the ocean. What about the gene pool? Only the strongest survive. That's the planet's way to control disease and bad genes, by the weak dying off or getting eaten.
Set up the preserves, and let the plants and animals figure it out. Species that acclimate to human existance will work it out, others will die off, others will live in Wildlife Refuges...quit messing with nature.
I wouldn't have even considered a Mac or Apple computer for my business...
I am looking at 4 dual G5 Xserves for my mail infrastructure. So evidently they have made HUGE progress.
Perhaps they are starting to realize that "looks" aren't everything, and sticking to industry standards is vital to getting into the business market (Unlike Microsoft).
It's interesting to see where Apple has been, and where they are going. Maybe the chip on Stevie's shoulder is wearing off?
I wonder who they are going to "buy" to build in antiviurs into the new Windows?
GOD NO!! Not Norton!!
Of course Norton is already geared to take over your PC with mindless popups reminding you how stupid you are and if your system is "secure" or not, so the code should seemlessly integrate with any Microsoft Operating System.

MS users are used to an OS and Internet Browser blown full of security holes.
Keep up the good work guys.
How are they doing on making transparency widows so I can see code behind the terminal? (just like OSX?)

I could play Call of Duty on my work PC, and somewhat hide it...how about your Xbox?
