  1. Re:Text of the bill on New California Law Bans Anonymous Media File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Maybe the website is http://www.geocities.com/something. You don't have to own an entire domain to setup a website.

    from the bill:

    (5) "E-mail address" means a valid e-mail address, or the valid e-mail address of the holder of the account from which the dissemination took place.

    So I assume this means you main e-mail address not a bogus one you never use. I know, how can they prove it.

  3. Re:SURBL on SpamAssassin 3.0 Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I suppose this will driver spam-advertizers to obviscate their URLs in the spam mails. Eg use javaScript to build the URL so the real URL can't be detected -- like we do with our mail addresses on webpages so they won't be harvested by spammers!

  4. Homeland security on Does Google Censor Chinese News? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just wait a few years and the US will start censoring websites. In the run-up to the Iraq war US news outlets didn't ask any questions. Americans who looked at cbc.ca or bbc.co.uk realized the world was against the war (for good reason). Only seems reasonable, for homeland security reasons, that Homeland security dept should not allow Americans to read evil foreign websites in the run-up to the Iran war.

    Actually its "IIS providers" which is Microsoft.
    These laws only apply to Microsoft.

    But unless it's been done in the US don't you know it hasn't been done. John Glenn was just the first American in space -- people forget Yuri Gagarin.

  13. Security on XM Radio Plans Online Music Service · · Score: 1

    tried another way AND remembers for next time.
    Feel free the read the spec.

    I hope you and your colleagues don't mind having their conversations logged in Redmond! You aren't discussion anything that might remotely compete with Microsoft some day. ie any software, hardware (eg keyboard, mouse) or media product or service (eg Expedia). ie any business.

  16. nice clients on Next iChat version to include Jabber support · · Score: 2, Informative

    For Windows Miranda is nice. On Linux I use GAIM -- it works well and is easy to use.

  17. Re:This is good news on Next iChat version to include Jabber support · · Score: 1

    I agree that clients don't do Jabber file transfer nicely but I disagree on what you said about the standard. Its fine. Look at JEP-0095: Stream Initiation. Here, the entities negotiate the best way to transfer a file. If they are on the same LAN... then just open up a port and listen like ftp. As a last resort do in in-band.

    I agree the sendmail program is bad and now their politics is bad too. I run Postfix.

    If I ran Bind on my own machine I could but instead I let my registrar run Bind for me. They provide a web-based GUI that lets me add/modify MX and A record but now TXT records. I shouldn't be a big deal for them to modifiy the GUI to allow TXT also.

    I already sent a mail to the company that hosts the DNS A records for my domains (also my DNS registrar) asking when I'll be able to add an SPF record.

  25. Off-Shoring on Paul Samuelson Challenges Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Its not OutSourcing, its OffShoring we are talking about here. OutSourcing just means that a company subcontracts another company to do some work that was previously done in house. Eg a bank might outsource to IBM but IBM doesn't have to take it off-shore.
