Spam from Taiwan

· Score: 1
Want to stop the spam from Taiwan??? Blackhole EVERY domain for the country, basically turn them into an INtranet...
Will that stop the spam? no
Will it reduce the spam? for a short time until they access bots elsewhere...
Unfortunately, if you read the terms of your agreement with a DSL or Cable internet provider, you have something like "Pro package with download speed up to 6Mb/sec and upload speeds up to 768Kb/sec"
Their speeds are stated as maximums to protect themselves in court.
I went thru this with SBC internet last year... Ordered 1.5Mb DSL and was only getting 384K on any test I could find on the internet (dsl reports was the most reliable)... after speaking with about 10 different customer service people telling me the service was rated at UP TO 1.5Mb/sec, I asked them to please test my line for noise etc... A technician called me back and ran the test, said everything looked good... I asked him what my modem was provisioned at, and he looked and said "There's the problem, you were provisioned at 384K... " he then bumped it up to 1.5 and I have been solid ever since.
In NMR, the magnetic field doesn't create anything... it aligns the axes of all the atoms spins so they are all in the same direction... the RF pulse knocks them out of alignment with each other, and as they re-align, they generate a pulse of RF back. (IE the RF pulse generates rotational transitions in the aligned atoms). I worked with MRI and NMR for almost 20 years.
It's old technology on a new level...
Basically it's MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MR Spectroscopy is probably 40-50 years old, and has been getting into smaller and smaller packages over the years... With new methodologies of Integrated Circuit manufacturing, more sensitive and noise resistant receivers can be built.
I's kind of like radar... you have a sample (person, luggage, test tube with chemicals in it etc) and pass it thru a magnetic field... as it passes thru the field, you send a radio frequency pulse out that "scatters" the magnetic moments of the atoms in the sample... as they recombine back to being parallel with each other, they generate a specific frequency that is unique to the molecule they are in. with a bunch of signals coming back from a single sample, you can know what compounds are in the sample and in what proportions... look that up in a simple table and bingo, you have whatever the substance is identified.
Spy Sweeper is an ineffective piece of crap anyway.
so far, I have had to repair at least a dozen PC's that used spyware sweeper due to massive amounts of spyware on them basically cranking them to a halt... Adaware SE personal and Spybot S&D cleaned them completely, where Spy Sweeper let all the crap in. If they go bankrupt because of this, they are doing the PC users a favor!
What don't you agree with?
WHen you report a spam, BS sends an opt out request on your behalf. The spammer is given time to respond... if you receive another after 7 days, then every time you recieve a spam from THAT spammer, your frog sends out 1 opt out request. Nothing illegal nor immoral about sending 1 opt out for every message you receive. Plus, the spammer is given an opportunity to remove you (and other BS users) from their lists by "cleaning them" against BS's database.
You'd think the spammers would be taking advantage of this, as sending to people that don't want the spam is a waste of their time and bandwidth... if we don't want it, we're not going to buy whatever product they are peddling.
Also, continued spamming get's reports sent to the FTC, FBI, DEA and whoever else might be interested in the content of the particular spam.
Sounds like you're one of the spammers attacking them... trying to redirect blame.
BlueSecurity had EVERY RIGHT in the world to redirect their web site to their Blog when their servers went down to keep their members informed of what was happening, DDoS attack or not.
the SPAMMERS are responsible, not BlueSecurity.
Not necessarily true... I opened several accounts to try and track where spam came from... one I left open but never used as a "control"... took about 2 months or so, but it started slowly coming in... it's up to over 100 spams a day... Either ISP's are selling addresses, or they are just using a word generator and spamming every possible username@domain.com to get thru.

it doesn't say dual core processor... it says 1GHZ+ CPU
