mailblocks says "All login information is sent securely to the Mailblocks server."... but I don't see any "https:". I tried signing in with a bogus userid/password just to see if I got a SSL response but no. Am I missing something?
Purchases made with your Speedpass will be identified by retailer on your billing statement just like purchases made with a physical credit card."
so it looks like (I could be wrong) that speedpass is just a handy way of using a creditcard like Amazon's one-click checkout. So you leave an audit trail - it's not cash.
Think about it... some computer science types answered a want ad for the TIA. Did a few interviews and security checks then accepted a job there. What is wrong with these people?

Yes, MIME wastes some space and cycles but its fantastic that you can open any mail in vi and basically understand it. Also you can say "Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit" -- ie binary.
I suppose this deal is important but there is sooo much license, DRM, patent, intellectual property, etc stuff on Slashdot it should really be called
Legal issues for nerds
"What's your opinion on microkernels vs. monolithic?
Dennis Ritchie: They're not all that different when you actually use them. "Micro" kernels tend to be pretty large these days, and "monolithic" with loadable device drivers are taking up more of the advantages claimed for microkernels."
Sounds like he's getting nonreligious / conciliatory in his "old age".
Of course, this is a tragedy but its not the end of manned spaceflight as some people are saying. Perhaps the end of the shuttle but remember all the other NASA disasters we overcame.
Since today underlines how dangerous launch/reentry is I think it illustrates that we should not be taking such big risks for dinky reward (ie to and from space station)... lets go to Mars!
I suppose on difference between random-gridding and P2P is that all machines in the grid would know about all others - they just select random peers to sync with. In P2P a major problem is simply *finding* the other hosts.
Also in a grid the machines are presumably more reliable - they'll stay up for a much longer time than typical P2P hosts.
So I think this is a pretty cool - and novel - idea. Since it might help grids scale better and many grids are Linux is another step in the world domination campaign:-)
I think it breaks down this way - if you are in favor of the content of the ads (as I am) then you find CNN full of cowardice for not running the ads and, yes, I am inclined to call it "censorship".
Folks who disagree with the message of the ads will not call it censorship as its just a private enterprise choosing not to accept a customer.
Still, CNN is in a important position as the country's major news voice. Would it kill them to show some peace ads - don't they want to appear impartial?
A quote from the Washington Post article that was linked to in The Nation article:
Nathan Naylor, a public relations executive involved in the ad campaign, said CNN, Fox and NBC declined to sell airtime on their national networks, so the coalition bought time locally from network affiliates and cable operators.
CNN spokeswoman Megan Mahoney said its policy is that "we do not accept international advocacy ads on regions in conflict."
You can give the customer a choice: buy using your Liberty id or enter all the personal info like they do now. If the customer prefers Liberty like him its just like a customer paying cash in a regular store... and you might scare him off if that choice wasn't there.
Check out the ftp SITE command.
If permissions are in place it lets you do
any command on the server. It's most common
use is the Unix/Linux "SITE CHMOD 700 myfile.txt"
but you could also do: "SITE TURN left 3deg"
or the like.
I was just about to update my mail address in my PGP public key which is on my website but then I released that spammers might mine mail addresses from public keys. Do they?
MIT (who is hosting this conference) has a key server that presumably hold millions of mail addresses.
Also folks outside Canada might think that "Bell Canada" was coast-to-coast-to-coast (Arctic ocean).
But its only in Ontario and Quebec - mind you those are the two biggest provinces. Also the monopoly from the West - Telus - is finally moving into Ontario and Quebec.
Don't get me wrong - Bell Canada is still huge!
If you plan things right you don't hang around in the train station very long. It would be very cool if they did this to the pay phones that are already on the Via Rail trains!

Just yesterday I tried and tried to get mod_perl working with RedHat 8.0 (which uses Apache2).
# rpm -q httpd mod_perl
httpd-2.0.40-11
mod_perl-1.99_05-3
One problem was that it didn't start with the current
directory set so my use's didn't work. Anyone had any luck with RH8.0?

Or maybe NaN%
