If you consider the slippery slope theory, it may undermine the whole CAN SPAM Act. It looks like spamming where you cannot really opt out. If you really need internet printing you might be able to just hook the printer up to a computer and configure the computer to be a print server bypassing HP's software.
Spamhaus has my ultimate support. What a colossal waste of the taxpayers money by e360 trying to sue a foreign, non-profit company for allegedly interfering with commerce. All Spamhaus has to do is tell e360 to go piss up a rope, which they in effect, did. Did e360 stop them, hell no!
This brings back memories of The Simpsons when Lisa types in Homer and Bart's symptoms into the virtual doctor. The virtual doctor a la Steven Case spews out, "You've got.... leprosy"
I wish I could tag this one as duh. Weather is bound to be generated when you pass a hot jet engine through a cold cloud. Not to mention the heat of the fuselage generate from air friction. Although, I was impressed that several inches of snow has the potential to form.
My guess is that this really is not criminal. There is no real criminal intent, or in legalese, mens rea. Instead, the Goatse Security Group really did this as a form of public service. Was it the most ethical means to do so? Quite possibly not. Ethically speaking, Goatse would have been better off reporting it directly to AT&T first and then to the media if AT&T ignored or denied it. That way, Goatse would have some extra ammunition and would be much more clearly in the right. While I know two wrongs don't make a right, AT&T did far worse with its cooperation with the Bush warrantless wiretapping program so I feel somewhat okay about AT&T getting a little egg on its face over this one.
Sarcastically speaking, I feel so sorry for the publishers losing out. They charge such unnecessarily exhorbitant prices and change maybe a word or two or chapter organization resulting in a new edition to obsolete the old. Maybe it is high time professors fought back against this extortion.
This is a good approach to help oil the gears of a slow machine. However, alternative energy is only a really viable pursuit if it is carbon emission free. I don't see the use of biofuels as a really good solution because they still produce greenhouse gasses. If we are really serious about being a leader in alternative energy, then we must go about it all of the way, not simply reducing carbon emissions but eliminating them.
I think the answer is glaringly obvious for five solid reasons. (1) Since US firms mostly offshore research and developement there is little or no reason to train at the collegiate level for such a career. (2) Those firms doing research here in the US import labor on an H1-B visa program. (3) Wall Street has lured some bright minds to come up with fancy, fuzzy mathematics to allow major financial companies to bilk the American people out of billions of dollars. The sharp math minds going to Wall Street leave a void in the research, experimentation, and development arena. (4) George W. Bush repealled a number of executive orders and was generally unfriendly towards science making it unattractive for industry to engage in research in the US. Bush and his faith-based, theocratic bent set us back a decade. (5) George W. Bush's no child left behind which further worsened the educational system in the US.
I consider myself with more democratic and somewhat liberal tendencies but this has just gone way too far. Ladies Nite is a tradition and if some cheap bastard doesn't want to shell out a miniscule cover, let him go elsewhere.
I know. Theo de Raadt is principled and the demands DARPA placed on Theo ran counter to his more democratic principles. The crux of the argument was over encryption - Theo felt that encryption belongs in the public domain as a checks and balances against government "mission creep."
If you look at the kid's youtube channel, he states pretty clearly that he will not sell his instructions or any of the models. He even states that he breaks down the guns to reuse legos in other models. The press, as usual, is trying to whip up a fear storm.
That is amazing! The internal design is really fascinating and shows some really ingenius work. However, I would like to see some of this talent aimed at more peaceful prospects.
I like my ability to be anonymous when I want. If spam is your problem, cutting down on it is pretty darned easy to the point where it is almost made redundant. I simply use OpenBSD's spamd solution which, within one week, rid me of nearly 100% of my spam without resource intensive filtering. I simply use the data gathered from UAlberta's trap list and run in a purely blacklisting environment. It took me all of half an hour to setup and saved me boat loads of aggravation. Plus spamd is an offensive solution rather the defensive. Any email coming from an IP that matches an entry in the traplist gets allowed to transmit at only 1 byte per second choking and potentially crashing the machine trying to do the sending with absolutely no effect on the recieving end. If the transmitter is brazen enough, it can wait the full 5 minutes just to transmit the first header. Some of the spam spewers tried multiple times, all meeting with the same fate. Within a week and half, I began to see less and less attempts at sending from the same IP address which could mean that my domain is being removed from databases.
Even if you require truthful domain registration, it is very hard to fight a spammer through legel means! It is much easier and cheaper to use spamd and get some matter of satisfaction by parsing your logs and seeing how much of the spammer's time you have wasted. I still have my spamd box running after four years, I seldom get attemps so I get excited to see a new idiot.
I might argue that many operating systems would be wink links in the cyber warfare scheme. The most noteable exception would be OpenBSD. If I were in a decision-making capacity, I would reach out to Theo de Raadt, apologize for the way we previously treated him, and get him started immediately in developing a secure network. He and his team seem to have the understanding of security from the lowest level possible. The current en-vogue trend, end-point security, is useless if your web application leaks memory. Ostensibly, you would need a hole in the end-point to reach the application and that gets exploited opening the network wide open.
All of the money spent on lobbying the government against using Linux would have been much better spent on developing a reliable, secure operating system. The shortsightedness of large corporation never ceases to amaze me. Since they spent all of this money on lobbying, which ultimately was unsuccessful, they had to spend money on securing Windows anyway. So, Microsoft spent a large sum of money in total, when they could have just made a better product to being with.
A first eviction team attacked Mr Yang in February after his rockets ran out, but local police came to his rescue. In May he held off 100 people by firing from a makeshift watchtower.
I must say I am surprised that the police assisted Mr. Yang. I am especially surprised because the policing system in China is notoriously arbitrary and corrupt. I thought that the police would side with the party and declare the property seizure as "necessary for the progress of the People of China."
Oh that's great. The robotic airline, "We have lost communication with ground controllers. We will be circling for a bit." By about the 100th circle, the engine takes on a sickly note. "Oh shit, Fred - I think we've run out of fuel!"
I'll be damned if I get on a plane that is remote controlled by someone somewhere else. If that plane is going down I want those flying the plane to go down with me. This ain't some neat out sourcing opportunity for airlines to put pilots in India sitting behind a desk. Bitches be crazy. I'd be running off a plane if the pilot came on during taxi saying this plane is remotely flown. Trust me, when your rear is in the hot seat and death is riding you, you tend to care a lot more about what the hell is going on. I can tell the FAA real fast and save them money, NWIH!
Now if they want to run just cargo planes as drones, that's fine.
Agreed, if we are going down, the captain needs to go down with his ship! Cargo plane drones and spy plane drones, fine. In fact, I'd prefer not to have someone killed for flying cargo.
Skynet jokes aside, drones are both useful and inevitable. And not only the winged ones. Look for a possible resurgence of blimps and airships in widespread use. Hang a radar on a blimp, park it at high altitude, and you have an instant radar system upgrade for air traffic control. Or for border patrol. Or for search and rescue. Etc etc etc. The uses for UAV's in the civilian sector are endless.
I guess I never quite thought of it that way. I do like the idea of UAVs for good, humane purposes like locating a stranded hiker, motorist, etc. I don't think the government needs more ways to spy on people.
To me this is pure un-adulterated outright pollution. The Adv company is deliberately releasing odors into the atmosphere. And I bet they do no have an EPA license to do so.
I would agree. But really, pollution implies that what is being emitted is harmful. Is this really harmful? I doubt that it is nearly as harmful as the carbon emissions from vehicles. I'll also bite that it is creepy but cool at the same time. I means

What other domains does e360 use to send its spam? Me thinks I'll add them to my OpenBSD traplist.
will never see a dime. It cost them more to litigate then they earned from the judgement

Looks like contract violation is a crime in Mexico whereas here in the US and Europe it is only a tort.
That's rough. Can't say I blame the matador. I'd take the fine and live to see another birthday

Eventually, commercial planes will be unpiloted - pilots are expensive. I'm guessing this will be a good test of that eventuality.
The day that happens, I'll just fucking walk it! Besides, a good cross country walk-about is good for the soul.
I'll be damned if I get on a plane that is remote controlled by someone somewhere else. If that plane is going down I want those flying the plane to go down with me.
