Yes, David, I admit to having reached an opinion on this matter. I don't
make this board because I'm clueless about this topic; and I do not support
Clintons, either of them, or Kerry, or any other war-monger. I find the
lifelong record of George Junior to be one of miserable failure, in every
way, and amazingly, without exception.
I made this board to solicit contrary persepctives, those which are based
upon fact, not fantasy; and I don't really see anything wrong or misleading
in that.

deceptive, deceitful, insincere, and the like. These are examples of ways
in which we are capable of professing that which we do not believe; or in

am one; I have discoursed with hundreds; I have heard and read hundreds of
others.
>I guess the point you're trying to make is one about hypocrisy, and not
living what you preach.
I'll offer the modification that, yes, hypocrisy is what irritates me the
most. I don't care if somebody is of any religion, or even no religion; but
I detest hypocrisy, which I find abundant in the loudest self-proclaiming
Christians to whom are provided a broadcasted and distributed public voice
in America.
Back to the original question of "sacrifice", I refer also to the "died for
our sins" mantra in grokking the "excuse not to live by" statement from the
original thread; together with the hypocrisy of course :)

I just heard (and saw) these guys play some awesome blues style on the PBS
series "Sierra Center Stage". It was a very enjoyable experience for this
old Chicago blues afficiando familiar with Walter Horton, Billy Branch,
and Corky Siegel. Also a Garcia fan, the guitars were also quite good.
Apparently, the Ford brothers were playing notable music during or before
1972. I'm not at all sure when this particular recording was made; but it
sure is good.

I'm starting to look into these for webhosting and other server uses. There
are lots of interesting tech issues to discover about underlying OS, the
base software, network configurations, hosted/client OS, management
options, and several other feature considerations.
If anybody has experiences or interests with these things, this board is
now a place where we can share with each other.
For the uninitiated, take a look at unixshell.com for starters.
BTW, I"m keeping my Meta-ARPA account with SDF no matter what I do with
other hosting or VPS or even other basic shell accounts. Having redundant
remote shells is very handy for debugging site and network troubles; and of
course the community is an increasingly comfortable experience.

SUBJECT: hurricanes and global warming
DATE: 01-Dec-05 22:11:48
HOST: sverige
Recently the NWS gave a press event remarking on the 2005 hurricane season
and stating with confidence that 2006 would be little different. Again,
they made their assertion that global warming was not a factor, which seems
to be the dominant view of most ocean-atmosphere scientists. One reason
regularly made in connection with this disjunction is that the warm gulf
current is on its own cycle which is minimally influenced by air temps.
However, in this press conference, they also said that part of the reason
the '05 season was so active was that strong westerlies did shear apart the
advancing storms; and it is *that* statement which may reconnect the global
warming with the hurricane season, because it is temperature differences
which create the winds.
Equatorial winds blow from east to west because the earth is rotating west
to east beneath (and with) the atmosphere. Other than that, winds blow in a
direction from high pressures toward low pressures, these being created by
differential heating of the equatorial and polar reegions. "Warm air rises"
in the equatorial regions creating relative low pressure at the surface;
while cold air in the polar regions descends into relative high pressure
areas on the surface and then blow toward the equator.
Coriolis effect turns both the equatorial easterlies and the polar
northerlies, while higher friction at the surface slows the surface winds
relative to the upper level winds, which has a direct impact on the
direction of those winds, ... and the whole lower atmosphere is stirred up
into a constantly morphing swirl for which the predominant influence is
...
temperature. specifically air temperature, which indeed is influenced by
the temperatures of the land and water surfaces beneath it.
Hopefully, Jeff or other more expert than I will correct me where I'm
wrong.
My point here would be that the "strength" of the hurricane season is a
result of many influences; and that any global warming would perhaps affect
the season more than it would affect any one of those individual
influences. Notably, global warming wouldn't impact the temperatures of the
gulf current or open ocean surface as much as it would impact the winds
which drive and destroy a tropical storm.

I ran TBBS software in DesqView and later OS/2, as FidoNet 1:115/678 for
modem speeds until 14.4 baud at which point I couldn't get the
latest TBBS/modem combo to run in an OS/2 sponsored DOS session. I still
think about trying again however. At the time, I also acquired an
Internet connection which was sufficiently distracting to not hurt
myself trying to resolve the modem issues.
TBBS was developed by Phil Becker whose background included programming for
space satellites and their episodic reprogramming by remote radio link. To
watch it handle 16 concurrent phone line sessions on a 386-16 was pretty
special. SeaDog mailer; Sirius echomail handler.
I was connected at the time with Hewlett Packard Hand Held user groups,
HPHH and later PPC. It was an international group which travelled a lot and
had international and regional assemblys as well as regular local meetings;
it was a very social environment and a superb bunch of tech geeks indeed.
HP engineers were active in the group; we hacked the hardware and software
on those things, many of which are still running today.
I learned computer programming on HP series handhelds; RPN on the 20 and 40
series was my favorite; also BASIC and FORTH on the 71-B; and "assembly" on
them all. What's notable today is the attention then paid to efficiency of
space and cpu cycle, something which MicroSoft programmers never, never,
ever, understood, at all.
It was a different era with different tools, constraints, and
opportunities; one in which you could find integrity and other virtues; and
respect, from and for, people, groups and their accomplishments. That model
is not disappeared, thanks to SDF, the BBS docu, other projects and the
individuals who keep these things alive.
But much of it, like hitch-hiking, isn't likely to become part of current
activity of today's generations; only, we can hope, part of their
consciousness.
The DOS based HP-200lx still connects to the internet and runs a Kermit
session; something it was doing long before other "palm" and "handheld"
marketry was even envisioned. HP-110 blazed the "laptop" path for others to
follow.
It was the era between punch-cards and mice.

Hi christ. I'm not sure why you bring up "what happened in let's say
baghdad a few years ago". I was referring to what has been happening
throughout Iraq each and every day since then; and in Afghanistan before
that. You apparently have little good information about how many innocent
civilians have been murdered in those countrys by the Bush-Rumsfeld regime.
By any accounting it's well over 20,000 civilians by now; needlessly, and
stupidly, slaughtered by the Bushite ideology, which sounds no different
from the Islamist ideology. Go figure. Then watch "The Power of Nightmares"

Rather than scream at Americans, I recommend changing your TV viewing.
Start by never, ever turning on any of the broadcast or cable "news"; none
of them, ever, except for maybe BBC if you're jonesin. Don't visit their

There's better places for better (more accurate, more relevant) news; and
frankly, nobody needs to know *anything* immediately; it can all wait until
you're ready for it, or it comes across on the radio.

A good driver always knows where everybody is around them, and is always on
the defensive against hitting or being hit, no matter what they're driving,
pushing, pulling, walking, or whatever.
If you "WALK" because the sign tells you to, or proceed because the light
turns green, then you're more stupid than a fool. You walk when you
determine that it is safe to do so; there is no other valid criteria.
If a car *might* turn suddenly, or stop suddenly, or start suddenly, you'd
better anticipate it; no matter what their silly blinkers might be doing.

sheywood, "If use my turn signals to let the people know that I intend to
change over to their lane and get in front of them they will quickly speed
up and not let me in."
I'm sympathetic with this situation, and experienced it today, inspiring
this post.
Here's the way I handle it. While looking for the opportunity to change
lanes, or to turn into a street from bottom of T-intersection, I don't
"blink"; .... but as soon as I commit to the action, I turn on the signal,
so that all involved are more likely to WAKE UP (usually from their cell
phones) and go into a more defensive attention.
If you change lanes without blinking, you seriously deprive them their
opportunity to be relieved of any ambiguities they may have about your
*intentions*.
In short, signalling is not a *request*; I treat it as a statement of
impending fact; and when I see one alongside me, I anticipate that driver
does not see me.
Please drive kindly, as well as defensively, and HANG UP THE PHONE!

cor, when I say that the devastation of the Gulf coast, and impending loss
of the City of New Orleans, is "worse" than the WTC attacks, I refer to the
suffering of humanity, and the extent of personal loss; not to foreign
policy, global politics, the malicious ideologies of wackos, or any other
precursor of the destruction experienced in NYC 4 years ago.
I agree that the tsunami was worse than this. I haven't heard that
reference elsewhere.
Of course, others think of New Orleans as biblical Gomorrah; and I fully
expect that any minute now Pat Robertson and Billy Graham will be preaching
about how jazz musicians have had this coming to them since the French
first got off their boats in North America.

Christian writings are much less hateful than the behavior of many who
profess to Christianity.
As to the "natural" man and the "image and likeness of God", I see it as
man born to become more Godlike or spiritual during the course of his life.
While it may be that the raw innocence of newborns and young children are
also an image of God, it is not one of power or wisdom or even love, during
the months of helpless dependency.
The "natural" in man is then like the natural in Jesus, being his mother;
and the "spiritual" in man like that in Jesus. And it is man's proper
activity during life to set the spiritual before and above the natural,
that his/our natural may serve our spiritual.
The natural is essentially selfish greed and willingness to exploit others.
The original Ten Commandments were provided to address these conditions,
and to point the way toward God as the source of love and wisdom.
The spiritual comes to humanity in Christ, who reinforces the Divinity as
the source of love and wisdom, and provides a life of examples, and a
couple simple new commandments, to guide man in elevating brotherhood over
selfishness, in their lives.
The Old Testament was a 10,000+ year project. The New Testament is still
pretty young yet, but a lot easier to understand and injest, particularly
if you stick to the four Gospels of Christ as authoritative, and not get
sidetracked into the epistles.

Q: Were humans given the world to rule over by god?

Q: Why to do the motheistic cults of Christianity and Islam want to spread
their beliefs to every human being on the planet?
A: It seems that they believe that they were told to do so; or that they
were called to do so; by Divine instruction. Too bad, eh? It doesn't seem
to occur to many of them that they just might have misunderstood any of it.
Q: Why does the World Bank and IMF want to spread market liberalism to

I have a ColorComputer setup (boxed in storage). It is certainly Motorola
6809. I was writing software application for it (native ROM BASIC), and
needed assembly language for printer output (star charts). I dust it off
every few years since. I have (I think still) external diskette drive, many
plugin cassettes, complete office suite software, monitor interface, more
dust, and good manuals. It was a very excellent package for its day.
My only two other collections are vinyl LPs (which I'm disposing of in

Hiya, bb.
Your first sentence looks *almost* like fud to me, so let me ask for some
specific of how you consider those applications to be responsible.
From my observations, the biggest risk of using peer applications is from
an already insecure machine, broadcasting itself to such a large audience
of potential malfeasants. I see increased firewall activity all over the
port range while peer apps are running.
In this scenario, it is not the applications which are insecure, but the
computer upon which they are run.
The second risk I see is that a requested file is delivered as something
other than expected, and could be executable malware. Again, it is not the
application which is insecure, but the user.
The third possibility is that an incautious user will obtain a malevolent
application which they expect to be a clean peering software; and then test
it on an insecure system or local network.
Were you thinking of something else?

That's a very good question. So, here's my thoughts on it.
Never forget about the law of unintended consequences; and exercise the
precautionary principle; in everything, not just special things like other

I'm not sure how eyesight develops, but I've heard that pre-teen livers are
not ready for alcoholic beverages, or caffein.
Pictures in daylight are good; and since they sleep a lot, flash probably
won't hurt them if eyes closed and sleeping.
Definitely do not expose the baby to tobacco or other smoke; lungs are
certainly immature.

It's more difficult to poison the fruits and vegetables and grains, but you

You don't have to blame "the capitalists" for this fact, but you should

How any government can even utter the phrase "health care" while condoning

>Your $1500 will take you 3.58 years to pay off at 14.24% with monthly
payments of $45. You will have added $420.58 to the cost.
That's the minimum; miss a payment and pay fees and double the interest and
never recover.
Just don't do it.

>> your house---like anything else in a capitalistic society---is only
worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
That's not entirely true. That describes what it is worth to others. You
may value it very differently, higher or lower, for many reasons.
For instance, what does it cost you to repurchase and relocate if you did
sell? Consider tangibles like replacement and moving expenses.
Also, there is value in intangibles, amenities such as neighbors, schools,
parks, etc. which a young family raising children will regard differently
than a retiring couple or a dedicated bachelor.

My counsel on this matter is that you consider a)what happens when the new

than current, c)your life position with risk, d)karma down the lifeline.
It sounds like your current employment (about which we know less than we do
about your former) hasn't chased you away, and is a situation which you
could easily discuss with them/him; and that he might even be honest and
open with you about his situation (like you say, can't find integrity
everywhere), so that you can engineer a situation where everybody wins and
nobody loses.
It is *always* best to strive for winners rather than losers.
Worst case scenario, you could change jobs; former employment could fold
without your support; new employment could fold because it took too much
risk; and you'd be ...
Short form: do the bold thing but don't hurt anybody along the way.

It might be nearly time to go independant, hang your shingle as a
consultant, and refer to those incomes as clients rather than bosses.
You'll have to charge them enough to cover your expenses and benefits and
taxes and insurances and all
but note that the general employment scheme is that billable rate is
approximately equal thirds of direct expenses (wages), indirect expenses
(overhead and benefits to employees), profit (incl. depreciation) ...
so that if an employer pays you $1 per hour, they have additional expenses
of $1/hr which are directly attributal to your employment, and they bill
their clients $3/hr minimum for your time; not necessarily that they bill
for your hourly time, but that your time/expense is figured (well or not)
into a project deliverable unit rather than base "time and materials".

One excellent use of blogs is for families with travellers; and for other
collaborative groups.
I just installed (not here) b2evolution which has the interesting feature
of presenting multiple blogs, and a "merged" blog which puts them all into
sequence. I find the ability to post independently, and to comment back, to
be useful and pretty well organized; though a wiki is also looking to be
good in this regard as well. I have not yet stumbled across a single tool
which does both, which is fine.
It took a few minutes however to remove all the "trackback" features by
which much blogware has grown into devices intent upon gaining search
engine rankings.
For a private, family, or group, site which doesn't want to be discovered
or archived, well .... I probably don't have to elaborate.
Interesting that this topic should arise (and too bad it didn't get its own
board), since I'm presently evaluating both, and looking for other
collaborative tools. For wikis, I've setup PMwiki (on SDF) and MediaWiki
(Wikipedia engine), and am still researching for the preferred overall
feature set. I'll note here that MediaWiki is being developed with a focus
on Wikipedia type projects, and comes up short in areas of access controls,
multiple concurrent projects, upload flexibility, and (of all things)
footnoting.

The trouble with this approach is that .plt files are printer specific,

well; but that it's hard to know what format they're in to convert from.
The better solution, and I do this regularly, is to have the source
application print to a PostScript file; and use GhostScript or GhostView or
GSview to convert the .ps to .pdf or anything else it's capable of; or to
just send your printer or plotter.
ps/.pdf is a good format for transfer between different users
plt is a temporary file between the application and a specific printer,

Be careful in discussing this because the definition of "democracy" has
been hijacked to frequently now refer to unrestrained global market
domination having more to do with exploitation than representation.
It has essentially become a useless word due to this. And when you hear
"freedom is on the march" and you see what's actually happening, you can
fear for the future value of that word also.

Well, John, my question was mostly directed towards Martin anyway since he
seems really opposed to the proposed constitution.
Myself I especially liked the part which defines the rights for a European
citizen.
How the actual representation is worked out, it looks a lot more
manageable than how it is now. That it's not perfect, ok, but I did not
expect it to be. Nothing's perfect. Especially when we have to agree with a
lot of partners on one text. But it's a start. If you say no to that,
that's just... just... I don't understand...
I'm really annoyed by the french non, really...

Chris: I understand that also the Dutch West Indies Company was part of the
problem in the days of early US colonization.
My current synopsis is that the U.S. in particular made a fatal mistake in
letting "the economy" or more specifically "the market" gain control of the
government. It is my firm belief that an economy or an economic model
should be the *tool* of government.
As voters, U.S. citizens have obviously lost control; the notion of
democracy in the U.S. is a pretense. There is no informed electorate; there
is not an electorate which votes; and officials in office are not
representing the views, rights, and causes of their public constituency.
Since the government is controlled by "the market", that is the only place
where citizens can have an influence, not as citizens but as consumers, or
non-consumers.
Sadly, the public isn't generally well informed about these matters. For
the last fifty years and longer, U.S. society has developed a culture of
willful deception, and a tolerance of the same, which is in my view
disgusting.
It seems that this culture of deception is motivated by, and principal tool
of, market domination over not just social causes but the basic
activities of self-governance.
The scene becomes really bizarre with the connection with religion; for
almost all religions and advanced civilizations now vanished figured out
that the only real purpose of the human experience is to love one another,
with tolerance, toleration, and kindness, and giving to others.
Selfish greed and exploitation is well understood to be a path of sure
destruction; self-destruction; as its proponents lie to each other and
eventually to themselves. Walmart devours the healthy decentralized
economies, depends upon "growth" which is not sustainable.
A free market, capitalist, consumer economy requires consumers with
discretionary spending power; the middle class. I heard this week (sorry no
citation) that the size of the U.S. middle class, by proportion of
population, is significantly smaller than that of other industralized
nations.
The economic model has already failed. It is not distributing enough
purchasing power to sustain itself no less add to its growth.
It is this failed economic model which is running the country into the
ground.
The current administration is actively and openly and proudly plundering
the public treasury, and its not even being talked about.
It is my hope that Europe can avoid this pitfall; and that Latin America
will continue to reverse the damage done there by U.S. intervention; and
that Americans will start to wise up and take their country back before
polluting it to extinction.

1. you need to create properly formatted files .mdns and .mdns.update in ~/
Maybe by cgi; maybe by scp. There is earlier discussion of this in the
bboard archive for 2005, else 2004
2. With a vhost membership, I'd wager that your.mdns.org url could be added
to the SDF host; the trick would be to update the IP; maybe run a chron to
test for your.mdns.org response and if fail fallback to the appropriate SDF
IP by same proc as #1 above.

The easiest thing is to copy the mail to yourself at your SDF and
preferably yet another outside addy. If there is still one missing, then in
addition to manually sending via sendmail as suggested, you could use
'host' or 'dig' to discover the receiving MTA for your domain, and then
manually telnet to it, sending an email my manually entering SMTP commands
as described by RFC 2821 (which you can learn to do in <30 min.)?
This way, you personally witness its arrival at your domain host; and may
optionally have a log of the transaction with which to confront the admin
there.

If you're system running the web server is behind a NATting device, then
that device will have to be configured to do port forwarding, both
directions. Alternatively, the NAtting device may have one port which is
not NATted (they name it some kind of 'zone') for teh purpose of connecting
servers.
I don't think that "routing" applies to NATting.

You should probably plan to use some kind of "boot manager" on a primary
partition. There are plenty available, and you may find 'lilo' with your
linux distro.
Historically, MS systems have needed a primary partition for booting, but
w2k can reside on a logical volume.
It's common practice, and plenty of guidance is available in distro manuals
and online.

OK. I got that fixed. It was a 0d0a term rather than just a 0a which caused
the problem.
My next solution-in-process is to find a way to automatically disable the
mdns assignment on impending connection downing. The automated process of
sending ~/.mdns and ~/.mdns.update works by scp; but deleting a remote file
isn't something which I've figured out yet.
And, you'll be pleased to hear that i'm not going to just experiment with
things like empty files for this purpose. Until I solve it, I'll either let
the assignment continue until updated, or assign some localhost IP -- or
better yet, a remote hosted site -- hmmmmmm....... ????

If there was an alternate 'mesg' switch to enable reception of
announcements of a new question from a user in com's helpdesk, I'd be able
and willing to enable it on occasion of my availability and willingness to
be responsive. I'd also be able to enter com's helpdesk, post a question,
trigger a 'send' and see if anybody arrived with an answer.

The pResident, Bush Junior, is SOLELY responsible for gutting FEMA and
loading its management, and that of DHS, with political hacks who have no
more competence for their assignments than does his own spoiled idiocy.
If you'd like to apologize for the moron, please start a bulletin listing
all the things he and his team have done which Americans can really be
proud of. The exercise will surely be worth your 'while'.

in other words, it would be much more net friendly to whitelist your

I've learned that ALL email addresses should be considered disposable. The
downside is those systems (including my former ISP) which refuse to reject
mail during SMTP and regularly accept it then delete it; thus senders never
learn that their mail was not delivered; and spammers never get stuck with
a ton of undeliverable mail clogging their own systems.
This, by the way, is imho the Net's greatest failure and the sole reason
why the spam problem continues.

No transcript, but the 28 minute, 13.5MB file is worth hearing in my
opinion; contains some remarkable view of Don Imus whom I'd never heard of.
May 1, 2005 -- DON Imus didn't like being called "a cantankerous old fool"
by MSNBC's Contessa Brewer on PAGE SIX. Brewer, a former news reader on
Imus' show, also said the I-man doesn't know how to relate to "beautiful
women." "With that fat ass she's got, she wouldn't be one of 'em," Imus
said on the air Friday. "That skank has to spend three hours with makeup in
the morning ... Who's she kidding? . . . Plus, she's dumber than dirt ...
Oh, my God, what a pig. But I was willing to cut her some slack and not say
anything, you know, until - in fact, I didn't say anything . . . That's why
they have those big double-doors there at MSNBC, you know, so they can get

The reason for not bouncing spam is that the bounce probably just targets
another innocent victim whose address was forged into the original spam.
The best practice, in my view, is to refuse to accept the spam during smtp;
leaving it on the sending system, which would then be responsible for
notifying the sending party of undeliverable mail in the case of false
positive spam ID or in this case of addy does not exist.
I have not tested to see how this is currently handled at SDF.
It seems possible that smj could, if so inspired, insert a mail filtering
rule which whitelists local intra-sdf messages, and maybe even local
forward files :)

I have seen it; first acquired via torrent; then by purchase. It had some
exposure at theaters, but not near as much as it deserves; and hardly any
press mention (to my limited awareness).
There have been some really outstanding films made in Canada and Great
Britain which I wish more Americans had more exposure and access to; and
which I've been able to see only by virtue of bittorrent.
From my perspective, any venom directable toward bittorrent and other open
sharing ought to be directed against the willful and insipient censorhip to
which American citizens (officially "consumers") are now subjected.
Other notable examples include:
The Power of Nightmares by Adam Curtis
The Century of Self by Adam Curtis
The End of Suburbia by Barrie Zwicker
and excellent biographies of Bush and Cheney by the CBC.
I wish I had better access to the works of John Pilger.
And some stuff just never does see the public in mass, but is at least
publicly available:
http://www.mediaed.org/videos/CommercialismPoliticsAndMedia/Hijacking_Catastrophe
http://www.truthuncovered.com/
Robert Greenwald has a new one trying to break the media barrier, and with
support of MoveOn.org, "Wal-Mart; the high cost of low price"
http://www.walmartmovie.com/fear_and_smear.php
so you raise this topic at an opportune moment.
Readers interested in possibly dated .torrents mentioned above are
encouraged to look closer (hint), or to inquire directly.

"Layla" is an extraordinary piece of hard driving rock; right up there with
Hendrix' "Watchtower" and Joplin' "Bobby McGee" and [quite] a few others
which just make you have to get up and engaged with it.
But it's also a very pretty song. I think it'd work into a wedding, due to
the way it has more "flow" than "beat", a quality which Clapton seems to
credit to Jim Gordon (drummer!)

There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really
know it are the ones who have gone over. The others - the living - are
those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could, and then
pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time
to choose between Now and Later.
But the edge is still Out there. Or maybe it's In. The association of
motorcycles with LSD is no accient of publicity. They are both a means to

A perfect example of this today is the U.S.A. which is subsidizing corrupt

constitutional mandate to provide for the health, education, and welfare of

As to whether God created Man or Man created God, the question, or the

natural, physical embodiment had evolved to the point where this issue
became cognizant.
With such a long history, it is no suprise that the questions and answers
would themselves evolve over time. So also should those fabricated
organizations called "churches" and "religions" evolve to address the
current minds and context.
The birth and development of a physical human is pretty miraculous, and not
really made by or controlled by or even fully understood by humans.
So, it would seem that if there IS a God, we did not create it.
And if there's not, then what created us, and can't that be named God?

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Robert. I'm sure it's not the first time
many of us have experienced firsthand the direct consequence of incomplete
filewrite due to catastrophic failure of one sort or another, especially on
multi-tasking systems. I don't know of any backup or redundancy strategies
which would preserve your file through a power failure, though there may be
one, I doubt it's affordable.
In your case, any recent backup would be helpful however; single flat file
that it is, wouldn't have to be restored to the same location, or if it
were, and the existing file at the location backed up to elsewhere, it
would indeed minimize your loss.
Anyway, ...

One of the biggest reasons sites get listed in spamcop is when they accept

The reponse from Don (who has been with SpamCop for a very long time)
provided an important illumination, pointing to an SDF user who is using
SpamCop reporting services without properly configuring them. It isn't
necessarily, or particularly likely, that there is malicious intent; just
careless reporting.
By way of background, SpamCop was started as a project to parse Received
headers in order to determine the source of the spam, and to report the IP
semi-automatically.
After several years of evolution, the SpamCop reporting process implemented
a database of mail servers which legitimately handle the mail for the users
who use SC to analyze and report spam. This is the part which Don
referenced that was not properly activated by the SC user who
inadvertently or carelessly reported SDF.
OR, it could be something completely else all together.

Thanks, James for the extensive information. As it happens, I recently
added a Sonata case to the room, and was frankly disappointed to discover
that it isn't much quieter (?) than my Lian-Li which I run full time nearby
and is the target of this silencing endeavor.
Your tips on ducting are most apropos. My case sits off a carpeted floor
between my steelcase desk and wood pannelled wall. Most of its sound
pollution seems to be the PSU exhaust from Enermax 350. I'm not excited
about trying a different PSU, so absorbing or diffusing that airflow is my
primary intent.
I've been thinking to find a soundproofing material, such as the Sheetblock
you identified (thanks!), maybe together with Mineral Fiber Insulation to
suspend or drape a covering around the back, top, and sides of the computer
case, redirecting the exhaust flow around toward the front side and
reducing its sound along the way, baffling if necessary. It doesn't have to
be pretty :)
I'd be eager to replace the Volcano-7 Athlon cooler along the way.

It should be noted that I saw a documentary on the North Atlantic super

It started with research into a glacier breaking off into the Gulf of
Alaska, causing water to wash over a nearby island, and was also detected
as far distant as Hawaii.
So the researchers went looking for the worst possible scenario in all the
oceans. I don't recall the N.Atlantic discovery as being triggered by
volcano, but it was a very large chunck of a former volcano which breaks
off and falls into the N.Atlantic, on the west side of some island near the
Canarys.
Ocean waters would rush inland several miles into N.America; washing
everything off Florida of course.
I don't recall if the documentary was on PBS or Discovery or otherwise.

I don't know who advocates (as distinct from talking about, as slack media
might) seriously that global warming "causes" extreme hurrican season or
even hurricanes at all.
It might be more reasonable to consider whether the extreme burricane
season is just another evidence of whatever is causing ocean levels to
drown long habitated atolls, and glaciers to melt and break up at rates far
exceeding historic trends, amongst other observed events of relative
interest.
My initial point was only that disassociation based upon a single parameter
of warmer waters is no more legitimate than association based upon a
single parameter of air temperatures.
And in today's civic-political climate, any university or other research in
the U.S. will certainly take the big heat and suffering if they assert or
support any science which does not fit into the ruling political
ideologies. Accordingly, we may have to interperate true intent from
between the lines of the statements actually made.

Fred, I'm interested in understanding your use of "cosmic" in this
discussion. Your explanation is welcome to presume that I understand more
than a little something about spirituality and astrology.
For my part, being perhaps the third oldest gentleman in the membership and
acknowledging your rank at the top, it's quite clear that all things
commonly and incorrectly attributed as "acts of God" have absolutely
nothing whatsoever to do with God, but are well understood in their
entirety as natural processes. Very well understood, and very natural,
appropriate to the physical universe of nature; not to the spiritual
universe of the divine within which we also exist interactively without
constraints of time, space, or other natural and physical parameters.
I just saw a fine documentary on the "little ice age" of the 14-17th
centuries; very interesting and important to the development of
civilization in Europe and North America.
If you get a chance and inclination, I recommend the National Geographic
film "March of the Penguins". Aside from the amazing photography and
fascinating information, it reveals frequently how very very close they,
and perhaps we, are to extinction, due to factors *mostly* beyond their/our
control, be those factors natural or "cosmic".

William Gray, the father and icon of hurricane forecasting, does not
subscribe to theories of man-influenced global warming, so he couldn't
possibly say that such a thing has any impact on hurricanes. He insists
that global temperature changes are "due to ocean circulation changes and
other factors. It is not human induced."
ref.
http://www.discover.com/issues/sep-05/departments/discover-dialogue/
The ocean circulation changes he references are the shallow El Nino surface
temperatures in the equatorial Pacific; not the deep Atlantic thermohaline
circulation (aka meridional overturning circulation) which warms the North
Atlantic surface, which seems to have a 100,000 year cycle which culminates
in "ice ages" evidenced over the 10 cycle term of a million years.
ref.
http://oceanworld.tamu.edu/resources/ocng_textbook/chapter13/chapter13_01.htm
Though meteorologists cannot ignore the interaction with oceans, and
oceanographers cannot ignore the interactions with different air masses and
motions, there's still much science to be enjoyed in studying their
interface specifically. In general however, it is common to observe that
water temperatures are more stable than air temperatures.
As to hurricanes, it seems to me that "an active season" requires more than
just one of the components a)storm formation, b)storm intensity
development, and c)storm motion influences. Which is to say that simple 1:1
cause:effect relationships can only be considered within the context of
many others.

Hi Jeff.
The media has also contributed to the unsupportable notion that global
warming, by whatever cause, is significant contributor to many other things
besides just an unusual Atlantic hurricane season.
Meteorology is one of those fine sciences of scope which is way beyond the
grasp of uneducated masses. I've been a semi-avid hobbiest, informal
student, and watcher for many years. Did you ever happen to meet Ilana?
Part of the global warming debate problem has been rather ostensible
propaganda promulgated by vested interests; another part is the current
government's obvious disdain for facts and science, togeher with its/their
suck-up to their benefactors. More importantly to me however is a
preference for use of the precautionary principle; and an acknowledgement
of the law of unintended consequences.

Not necessarily, John. Some think it's because the bleeding heart
environmentalists forgot to go to Iraq. Some think it's because of
something the Pope did, or didn't, do in the middle of his term. And yet
others, if you can believe it, assert that this is a 14th dimensional
consequence of all the lying which has been done regarding the alleged
linkages between HIV and obesity.
Frankly, there's just no accounting for the foibles of either geeks or
tweeks these days; and those who used to care about, and research, these
phenomena have either given up or lost their funding, and are right now
standing in the same lines as their former subjects and patrons.
It might even rain in Modesto for the first time since Reagan was elected,
John; and that, I assure you, has caused people to swallow their
fingernails, again because of the environmentalists, causing them to bleed
where they ought'nt; and *that* is causing a Chineese butterfly effect upon
the fourth branch of the southern pretty-if-ugly-christian conference which
was hoping to get through this decade without a scandal.
If this doesn't answer your question, perhaps there will be additional
perspectives available on your local transit system.
