  1. m0.net? major spam haus on Microsoft and the SPAM Game · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've had m0.net firewalled off from my mail server for months (maybe years) now due to their incessant spewage of spam.

    just look here
    http://groups.google.com/groups?q=m0.net&ie= UTF-8& oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search

    The fact that M$ would even consider such a slimey bag of spammers is typical of their unethical monopolistic behavior. Maybe its high time we added all of M$ ip blocks to the various rbl's and see how Uncle Billy feels when his corporate emails start hitting /dev/null

    hmmmmmm, sounds just like our government any more. Contrast the communisnt part to Ashcroft, Riaa, Mpaa, M$.......

  3. Re:Stability on What High End Unix Features are Missing from Linux? · · Score: 1

    well solaris runs on a limited set of sun approved hardware. Linux runs on everything including that crappy pc chips motherboard you gave to your grandma ;) I do agree to a certain extent that linux tends to be too dynamic though.

  4. Holy shit! on Lead Scientist Responds to Questions on Root Server Queries · · Score: 1

    i thought i was the only one who used 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2

    easiest ip's in the world to remember, great ping times. I have them set as the secondary and tertiary dns servers for my company network.

  5. even better idea on Lead Scientist Responds to Questions on Root Server Queries · · Score: 4, Informative

    set your dhcp server to assign your company dns server to the clients.

    THEN

    iptables -I FORWARD -p udp --dport 53 -j DROP

    let them try to hit any external dns servers :) they'll be scratching their heads : )

  7. thats because your at a bar on Why Nerds Are Unpopular · · Score: 1

    A bar is merely a extension of HS. Its another meaningless social competition. The competition is to see who can buy the pretty girl the most drinks, come up with the wittiest bullshit lines, etc.

    Dont play that game, refuse to compete.

  8. maybe BOA on Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 Million Credit Cards · · Score: 1

  10. Re:ode to my Yamaha 4416 on Yamaha To Withdraw From CD-R/RW Business · · Score: 1

    people on ebay tend to pay outrageously for scsi shit, dont ask me why. I sold my plextor 12432 scsi on ebay about 18 months ago and got $150 for it. I turned around and bought a liteon 24x for $80 or so and pocketed the difference. And that liteon 24 was a MUCH better burner to boot. Its currently sitting in my file server cooking tar files : )

  11. copy protected audio cd's on Yamaha To Withdraw From CD-R/RW Business · · Score: 1

    thats a MESS admittedly. It depends on what scheme they use for copy protection, but a lot of the protection schemes used for audio disks prevent them from EVEN being played in any sort of computer cdrom or cd-rw drive. Some car stereo's cant even handle these schemes. If your a big music phile and want to make backups of your disks, the best way to go is get a stereo with a good digitial or optical out, run it into your sound card, record it as a wave file, then use your favorite mp3 codec ( i suggest lame naturally) for the backups. I'm just glad all the music i like (60's and 70's rock) is already out there, so audio copy protection for me is a mute point.

    Of course, you just end up hitting Kazaa, and give the riaa fascists a giant middle finger anyways : )

  12. profits are leaving the CD-RW market on Yamaha To Withdraw From CD-R/RW Business · · Score: 4, Interesting

    and yamaha knows they arent in a position to compete with the likes of Lite-on, Msi, LG, etc. Face it, the CD-RW has reached the end point as far as innovation goes. A modern Lite-on burner can record to even the shittiest media, handles most forms of copy protection without grief, can be purchased for under $60, and never coasters a disk.

    The next big frontier is Dvd recorderables, which is still a mess. And i am sure thats what yamaha is looking at for potential profits.

  13. make sure you use authenticated smtp on My Short Life As An Unintentional Porn Spammer · · Score: 1

    or that you dont allow ANY external ip's use your server to relay.

    Do a google search for auth smtp for more details

  14. the playboy subscription on NASA: Evidence Favors Infinitely Expanding Universe · · Score: 1

    was with kip thorne on the existance of black holes or not. Hawking bet (in a cover your ass type bet) that black holes didnt exist, and Thorne bet that they did. The terms of the bet was 1 year of playboy (it might of been penthouse) for Hawking, and 4 years of something more bland for Thorne. Hawking eventually paid up on his bet to Thorne.

  15. Arthur C Clarke's status on Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama going Hollywood? · · Score: 1

  16. why violating open source copyrights SUCK on Castle Technology UK Ripping off Kernel Code? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ok, i've seen a lot of posts on people being hypocrits about complaining the kernel being ripped off vs downloading some crappy boy band music off kazaa.

    1st. When someone downloads some crappy song off kazaa, they arent claiming they made the song, or that they "own" the song, they just want to listen to the damn thing. Same thing goes for someone installing that warezed copy of office xp. They arent claiming that they coded office, or that they have the right to resell it, they just want to write documents.

    2nd. If this company was merely using the modified kernel for internal purposes only , that would be kosher imho. If they wanted to modify it and sell the product, as long as they gave credit (and the modified code), that would be kosher too.

    On a strictly personal level, i believe that when some large ass company (i.e. Microsoft, Riaa, Adobe ) commits multiple henious crimes against the people (i.e. DMCA, Sklyarov, Monopolistic abuses), that the company no longer is worthy of copyright protection. Thats why i have ZERO problem with people downloading music, burning off copies of Windows and Office, etc, for their friends and family, and giving the above companies a giant middle finger. Its civil disobienace at its best.

  17. Re:4th amendment violation? on Remotely Counting Machines Behind A NAT Box · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i think an isp is allowed to watch the packets on their network for any number of reasons. Thats why things like ssh, ssl, pgp, etc exist, to keep an isp from seeing exactly what your doing.

    the license agreement big busiensses and governments sign to get the "special" price on M$ bloatware gives
    M$ the "right" to show up anytime they want. Basically in signing the contract, the business signs away its rights, which is another reason why i encourage all my clients to go OSS.

  25. pre acceptance filtering vs post acceptance ? on Network Associates Aquires Deersoft Inc. · · Score: 2

    Personally, i prefer to use RBL's and block the spammers so i dont have to fill up my server's hdd. I tend to suspect that RBL checks are less computationally intensive then content filters.

    Besides, if the ip keeps tripping my rbl check, i can add it to the firewall and waste about zero cpu time on em : )
