The only military email system that I've sent mail to used this, and some sort of system similar to/.'s Lameness filter. It took me three emails to get one message to one recipient. Annoying as Hell, and I almost gave up. Did the person you talked to give numbers on how much real messages were reduced?
I'm constantly stunned that given the damage spam creates, special branches aren't more active in tracking and _eliminating_ the sources of these things.
But no one yet understands the damage spam creates except for those of us with an IT bent. Back in WWII days and directly after, Radiation was your friend. It could do everything for the man of tomorrow! The first people to learn how dangerous it really was were the scientists getting really bad radiation poisoning and cancer. Even after that, it took a while for the public to switch from Radiation==Good to Radiation==NotGood, and even then, they over-simplified to the point that people still fear irradiated foods (which are not radioactive).
What we need are some public service announcements: "Unrequested mass mailings use our nation's internet bandwidth, reducing our GDP, making it easier for the terrorists to win, and have a carbon footprint equal to 5,000,000 cattle, a Rush Limbaugh, and a Michael Moore. You can do your part to help! Change your email default viewing to 'text only' so you don't load their images. Stop clicking on their links. Send them to your junk folder. Report them if your email system has a spam-reporting function. Like Spamsy the Cat says: 'I may be lazy, but even I can stop spam just by doing nothing!'"
Agree; a really intelligent friend just bought herself a shiny pink dell laptop with her ex husband's money. She may be a scientist, but if she could wear a pink lab coat, she would.
anything else is "high-availability", not "backup".

anything else is "availability", not "unreasonably difficult backup procedure requiring at least two people dedicated to backups and trust in a third party company".
'Backed up between two servers'... that's not what a backup is.
If server A does regular rsyncs from server B, and tar.gz's them into dated archive files, and server B does the same for A (both skipping the archival files from their own system), that's not a backup? It's not ideal, but it's a grand sight better than just mirroring the servers.
They don't want sticky customers. The signs in the bathrooms require that employees wash hands. But you know, the last time I was there, no employee would wash my hands... I wanted to complain but people made me leave.
If your hands were sticky after leaving the bathroom stall, the employees were right to refuse service.
oh classic, modded as flamebait for asking a legit question which might give some insight into the actual security situation.
You might quit while you're ahead, err, behind. I've got Karma to burn though, so I'll quote you to see if anyone knows.

Most fireproof safes allow heat to get above recommended storage temps for drives (they're usually designed to keep paper or cloth from burning). Offsite storage is best for fire-paranoia.
I'm considering a hard drive dock and several internal hard drives to use as 'disks' to back things up every once in a while but I don't know what the best way to store internal drives would be in the meantime."
Well, you could store them internally.
"I don't like having discs crammed into me... unless they're Oreos... and then only in the mouth."
But which is worse? Missing your medical history or having all that personal identifiable information in the hands of credit thieves?
Assuming that it _must_ be an either-or scenario, I'd rather have my medical history on port 80 open to the world. Sure, there'd be some (a lot of) abuses, but at least my doctors would know my medical history in an emergency or in case I get some long-term condition.
Part of my daily duties as a systems administrator was auditing connection logs for odd behavior. Don't admins do that anymore?
A lot of that is left up to parsing scripts, interns, or just ignored. Plus, "Odd" is relative. If one of your people is overseas in China, and his VPN account logs in from China IPs at odd times of the day, it could be normal. Until it logs in twice at the same time or after he comes home, you won't notice.
If they're infiltrating with malicious intent, I don't think 'hacker' is the proper term here...
Yeesh, give it a rest. Evil computer infiltrator is the predominately accepted definition for Hacker these days. No one calling you a Geek today thinks you bite the heads off small animals. In fact, Geek's etymology stems back to an old English word for "Fool", whereas today it means a smart, unliked person (although it's starting to lose the "unliked" portion of its definition with the rise of the ubiquitous computer culture). I predict in 20-40 years, "Hacker" will be synonymous with "Con-man" as more "crackers" shift into social engineering either in person or via email/IM...

I prefer "fried taters" said in a southwestern accent. It doesn't sound sexier, but it's got coolness.
For sexy, I'd say "Give me your tots". Women really seem to strongly respond to that movie. You never get ignored when quoting Napoleon D. It's a really polarizing piece of film.
The whole Thief mythos was pretty much played out at the end of Thief 3 and a continuation would just feel tacked on (Thief 1 & 2 heavily explored the Pagans and the Hammerites, Thief 3 basically removed the Keepers).
There's yet another faction that Garrett can end: the Ancients. As silly as time travel might be, I'd like to see them in their prime, with their cities alive. Maybe Garrett's runes retain their own memory and he starts having walking-flashbacks or something. If the AI were good enough, a Thief version of Blue Shift could be interesting: you play Lord Bafford, and you score points for how long you keep the Thief at bay before he steals your latest prized treasure. Set your guard patrols, locks, traps, etc. There's also multiplayer potential (maybe Garrett is a "guildleader", and the thieves are nameless players sent to pull a heist).
It had a "insert every CD between the first install and the current update" patch update method which made most sysadmins just rely on NFS (or interns) for updates, not to mention the Feature ans Maintenance streams. That's innovation.
Maybe 2-3000 people will do it.
First they get the 1000 SEK
Then they pay that 1000 SEK for the next 1000 SEK
and this will maybe cost them 1000 SEK
Please provide better plan.
1SEK is cheap. Maybe 1000 people will do it once. Maybe another 1000 will do it twice. Maybe 500 will do it three times. Maybe 250 will do it five times. Maybe 150 ten times. Maybe 50 fifty times. Maybe another 50 one hundred times. And, when all is done, TPB, may be forced to pay. Then they'll pay the whole fine in 1SEK increments.

If it's not classified, hire a few companies in India or China to do non-artificial intelligence spam filtering. Problem solved.

There's always a sweet spot.
