They will pile it up with their other virii. They now have enough virii to wipe out at least the following creatureii: . humanii . sheepii . cowii . catii . pigii . giraffii . dogii
That would be okay though. Industry would step in with a resistant strain of rice which they'd be happy to sell. Unfortunately it's seeds, while tasty, would be sterile, so you'd need to buy from them each time you wanted to plant a crop.
... i get to leech some of your processing power. sounds good to me. I could create a super computer simply by making sure heaps of spammers want to send email to me:)
Even better than burning cycles to calculate the answer to question that doesn't matter, why don't you force the sender to compute something useful, eg seti or one of the other distributed computing things around these days?
This might help the spammers restore the karma balance a little. On the one hand, they pissed a billion people off by sending unwanted email, but they were directly responsible for curing 3 types of cancer and discovering life on Pluto.
On a more serious note, how do you cater for the variations in computing power of computers around the place? A mail server doesn't normally require much cpu power, just network and io. What takes one server 10 seconds to calculate might take another 10 minutes.
I don't really have any strongly formed idea's on the subject, but that is one of the arguments against pornography.
s/women/men if you like, but I haven't heard anyone protesting against pornography due to the fact that it exploits men. I haven't been listening very hard though:)
I was just pointing out that if 'no women were harmed in the making of this movie', then the argument that the woman featured in the movie is forced to do those acts because she has no 'choice' (whether that argment is correct or not), suddenly evaporates.
It does open up a new can of worms though, if I take a enough pictures of you (assuming 'you' is a highly attractive or at least popular celebrity of either gender) and create a cgi version of you such that nobody can tell the difference between the cgi version of you and the real you, and then have that cgi version of you appear in erotic films, would you have any legal recourse to stop me doing this? There are probably existing laws that cover this because of the pictures, but what about if I rendered a cgi person that looks exactly like you? Would you at least be entitled to a cut of the profits?
I've done this before with the directed broadcast. The remote systems are linked via gre tunnels (ipip tunnels didn't work), and the remote routers are cisco 837's. Under current IOS versions you have to enable ip directed broadcast, it used to be on by default but now it's off. Make sure you put appropriate firewall rules in too, directed broadcasts are great for DoS attacks.
I've never understood this... can somebody please explain why on earth you would want to turn vertical sync _off_? It can give you a faster frame rate in numerical terms but surely it means that your monitor is showing two or more frames at once (eg the top 1/3 of your screen showing two frames ago, middle 1/3 showing one frame ago, bottom 1/3 showing current frame)?
If your monitor is set to 100hz vertical refresh then that's your optimal frame rate. No more. No less.
Everyone says turn it off though, so either they're all wrong or I am. Please enlighten me!!!
I have a homeloan package with my bank (in Australia). The only fee they charge me is $8/month (I could have chosen a slightly higher interest rate on the homeloan but for at least the next 10 years that equates to more than $8/month). In return the interest from my bank account offsets the homeloan account, and therefore doesn't count as income for tax purposes, and I get enough free transactions that i've never been charged a fee for any banking in the last 2.5 years!!!
When someone mentions retina scanning as an authentication mechanism, i'm always reminded of the movie 'Demolition Man', and for palm/fingerprint scanning, of the 'Inquisitor' episode of Red Dwarf.
Palm scanning only proves you have the hand of someone allowed to access a system.
Retina scanning only proves you have the eyeball of someone allowed to access a system.
The actual text is 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you', or at least something very similar, not 'do unto others as they do unto you'.
The first means treat people the way you would like them to treat you. The second means treat people the same way they treat you. Completely different.
The first one is a good code to live by, but I think you meant the second one.
I was about 8 when i first got one. I could do it in 3 minutes on a good day. The first two layers were a piece of cake, the top one was a bit harder.
The (A) secret with the top layer is to find a combination of moves that does what you want to the top layer, without worrying about the rest of the cube.
So say if you want to rotate a top corner piece, figure out a sequence of moves that leaves the top layer untouched except for the rotation of the corner piece. then find another corner piece that needs rotating the other way, spin the top layer around so that that piece is where the original rotated piece was, and then reverse what you did.
The cube is then back where it was except for one top piece rotated one way and another rotated the other. There are always matching rotations required. If there isn't, then someones been fiddlin' with your cube.
The cube was one of the few things I was good at so i'd show off wherever possible. I'd have the bottom two layers done and be doing the top layer and people would be saying "no, you're messing it all up".:)
if someone made a porn search engine that was as good as google, eg no popups, no clutter, and ads that you know are ads, then i think they'd be on to something.
I am planning on listing the work I did for your company on my resume in relation to project ABC which I worked as a contractor for during the period somedate to someotherdate. The exact text I am planning on using is this:...
Please have your legal department check that this does not violate the NDA I signed. Let me know within 14/21/30/60/whatever days if you would object to me including this on my resume.
etc.
i doubt it would be legal if you have clearly violated the terms of the NDA but you might actually get a response:)
This worked for me for about a week. I then peppered the primary with all sorts of different names all over the MX record list. That also failed to work. In the end I just gave up and deleted all MX records except the primary. Other servers will retry if they can't find mine. The amount of mail actually lost in the case of downtime is pretty much irrelevent compared to the amount of spam i now don't get. (it runs linux so uptimes are normally measured by numbers with 3 digits.)
The company I work for hosts 20ish web sites, and have 2 class C address ranges. If your server responds to the icmp packet, you then get hit with a 4k web request. _This_ is what pushed our usage way up.
Once we blocked the icmp probes, the web requests stopped, and our usage went down to something resembling sensible. The icmp probles are all 92 bytes in length, so they're easy enough to block if you have a decent router (ours is a linux pc). Before I knew about the icmp probes, I was blocking the worms' http requests - obviously couldn't block the first packet but it still reduced the incoming data by about a third.
Our isp waived the changes based on what we agreed was a reasonable estimate of traffic volume caused by the worm(s).

yes. I spotted that the day after i posted it. Shame on me for making a spelling mistake when making up new words.

Is a cgi woman doing sexy things to herself for the entertainment of others still exploitation of women, when no specific woman is being exploited?
Down this path are all sorts of questions...
Don't feed the trolls. It only encourages them.
Damn. They got to this post and moderated it 'Funny' so nobody would take it seriously.
Unless of course there was a hidden agenda to get you out the door, and this was just a convenient excuse to do so.
Always consider that the given reason for an action isn't necessarily the real one.

as opposed to what? phoning you up while you're playing tetris?
'My Dog Has Fleas' is indeed fantastic. I'm changing all my passwords to that right now. I encourage you all to do the same.
weeds them _out_???

of course... such a thing may already exist...
has anyone else noticed the slowly increasing amount of trolling going on in the articles?
Comments are supposed to troll, not the parent articles... it takes all the fun away!!!

I think what he meant is that tunneling it through ssh adds latency and doesn't improve the situation over plain lbx.
