Also, all SMTP traffic goes over ADSL, because Comcast blocks destination port 25 unless it's to their mail servers. I understand their reasoning for doing so, but I think the reason doesn't in any way justify the action. Better would be to shut down the customers who send spam instead of limiting everyone, and instead of shutting down people who may use the bandwidth they were promised for for legitimate uses. Yeah, because turning off the spam zombies after they are detected is obviously working very effectively. Better would be enable port 25 by request. If someone is competent enough to know that they need port 25, it stands to reason they have a better chance of keeping their machine operating safely.
Can't a web radio station continue to operate without paying royalties as long as they stick to independent labels?
No. The royalties are collected for all songs played, even those from independent labels. Independent artists have the option of registering with SoundExchange so they may receive royalties collected on their behalf, less SoundExchange's fee.
There is nothing that prevents Independent labels from writing their own contracts with internet radio station which explicitly block SoundExchange from collecting fees.
That's an interesting point. The Chinese sell low quality goods Nearly every computing component is made in China (or Taiwan which is ultimately China). Are these the low quality goods of which you speak?
Not necessarily true. We had tickets to some random movie preview 10 months ago. As always, I had my phone with me as required for work (if the servers go down...). The goon at the door saw that my phone had camera capability and denied me entrance. After an extended, polite, kafkaesque conversation, my wife watched the movie while I drank coffee and read a book next door.
You need a wife that will back you up when you are confronted by assholes.A unified stance against misuse of power is more effective.
You probably should have caused a scene, and commented loudly about the rat turds in your popcorn as you meandered the lobby on your way out.
You won't click an ad and purchase, but for every one of you there are 100 of your peers that will.

You had your ratios reversed and disproportioned. I corrected them for you.
For every idiot that buys something from a spammer, there are approximately another thousand recipients that would just as soon cut off the spammers balls and feed them to him.
All we run are the above "productivity" apps and a bizarre VT100 terminal program that talks to the billing / order entry / lab system. Any reasonable Linux system would be fine except that company that runs the back end system won't allow anything but this oddball emulator to talk to their system.
If it is really just a VT-100 emulator, how can their back end differentiate between their oddball program and minicom?
Afghanistan's chief export is now opium. It was their chief export before the U.S. military action, too. So what? Somebody has to produce opium. If the US government has a problem with who is making the profits from the opium trade, maybe they should get into the business of opium production, instead of wasting my tax money on the unwinnable "war on drugs".
ipfilter.org is similarly going to a domin squatting link page.
i need a filter that notices these bogus pages and blocks them.
If you run your own DNS, you can configure an authoritative zone that reports the domain names of squatter sites as nonexistent, thereby effectively preventing you from having to stumble upon many of the squatters' domains.

...They are slowly rendering email useless...
I don't know how many misdemeanors it should take to equal a capital offense but these guys are racking up a million a day.
Great points. I offer two corrections.
1. Email is not being slowly rendered useless. It happened quickly and quite some time ago.
2. The computer crimes spammers commit are all felonies not misdemeanors.
Our (100% legitimate, double opt-in) mailing list
As a legitimate list admin, please read this, and consider using the less confusing term, "confirmed opt-in" instead of "double opt-in".
You won't need to feel obligated to refer to yourself as "legitimate" once your choice of language announces that for you.
Everybody knows that MB stands for Monkey Boy.

You wrote your name in your book when you bought it. The bookstore didn't do it for you, unrequested.
There is quite a significant difference.
Personalizing the file without disclosing that fact to the purchaser is inconsiderate to say the least.
If you're lucky you can use the copy of Hustler (option 4 on the multiple choice) to help produce your DNA sample.

That sucker passed emissions testing right off.
When your car is running on garbage being processed by Mr. Fusion, of course your emissions pass testing!That was not a troll, and whoever modded it as such needs to have their sense of humor taken in for a tune up or revoked,because it is defective!
To the idiot that modded my joke a troll: :-p
Get a fucking sense of humor, you jackass!
(or are you really a Scientologist?)
To the mods with the functioning humor systems: Thanks!
How about "fire cruise missiles!" (since France does not have Chuck Norris)
Would those be Tom Cruise missiles?The Cue Cat does make a great barcode reader for cheap.
I don't really go for Kubuntu, but I have run KDE under SuSE since 6.1, so I am very comfortable with YaST & KDE.
I guess no one else gets your Lethal Weapon 2 reference.
They probably just assume that you are being racist.
You must not buy cut-outs or used product.
Master Shake already beat you to it with Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary.
You can download two versions of it from Adult Swim.
