Apparently the US declassified a good part of it's "Secret Cybersecurity
Plan", including discussions on IDS' to be deployed. A good read.

Now, this may be a good idea:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/190579/senator_to_introduce_internet_huma
n_rights_bill.html
The basic idea: The law "would impose criminal or civil penalties on
U.S. Internet companies that bow to pressure of foreign governments and
violate human rights."
Still, this creates a cache-22. This would essentially bar US companies
from competing in markets like China, which are huge. So would this put
our companies at a long-term disadvantage?
Perhaps this law makes more sense if it applies to *ANY* company that
operates in the US.

I guess what then gets confusing is, does Google pull out of China and thus
provide the people with zero search results? Or stay in, and hope that the
users stay one step ahead of the censors?
I think either way they contribute a little bit to the oppression, but which
is the lesser evil? I'm not sure myself

Message-ID:
According to CIA word fact book China has around 300 Million internet users. That probably 25% of china's population with tremendous expansion potential. Entire US population is around 300 Million. Recently, China has invested a lot of money developing its infrastructure to accommodate in country R&D. Given all this, if there is a restrictive law that penalizes US based companies for obeying laws in other countries, isn't it easier for companies to pull out of US and move their operations to China? Hasn't this happened to manufacturing sector already?

Good point. Luckily, I just can't imagine Google doing that, but that would
be a concern about a lot of other companies. I was going to make a point
about fear of being totally taken over by the government a deterrent for a
company considering moving HQ to China, but that's already likely to happen
in the US now...

I think it is the wrong approach because doing business on a large scale givew companies the power to influence foreign governments. walmart is a good example, they have gradually improved labor conditions throughout the world by inspecting the plants they do business with and requiring better work conditions. Google is a recent example as they are currently in dispute with China and chinese researchers need their service.

I am against tiered pricing and here is my reasoning.
For ATT 3% of users use about 40% of network capacity. At a first glance, it would look like a lot of people will spend less money if they paid for what they used. Unlimited users should pay more then casual users. Right? If that is true, the carriers will lose money if they move to a tiered model. No? Then why are are proposing tiered pricing? Theoretically it may be true if they keep per GB cost low but practically what will happen the carriers/telcos/cable providers will bump the unlimited and per Mb usage charge way high. There will be a perceived value in getting the higher limit plan. It's like wine tastes better because you paid more for it. For most providers doing this will increase their average revenue per user (AURP). Also, why are users forced to get data plans when they get a smart phone? Now, the carries have started forcing users to get data and text messaging plans because the cost of voice calls are going down. Okay. I will stop my rant now.

Do you mean they have no moral or legal authority? They certainly have
the legal authority (e.g., Cuba, munitions).

The basic idea: The law "would impose criminal or civil penalties on
U.S. Internet companies that bow to pressure of foreign governments and
violate human rights."
Still, this creates a cache-22. This would essentially bar US companies
from competing in markets like China, which are huge. So would this put

Perhaps this law makes more sense if it applies to *ANY* company that

I thought all users had the same amount of bandwidth, depending on

Or do you mean high throughput users?

I think we can officially change definition of bandwidth since it means data consumption rather than throughput.

Now, this may be a good idea:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/190579/senator_to_introduce_internet_human_rights_bill.html
The basic idea: The law "would impose criminal or civil penalties on U.S. Internet companies that bow to pressure of foreign governments and violate human rights."
Still, this creates a cache-22. This would essentially bar US companies from competing in markets like China, which are huge. So would this put our companies at a long-term disadvantage?
Perhaps this law makes more sense if it applies to *ANY* company that operates in the US.

"We" are not proposing a tiered payment structure. "They" are going to
propose the new plan, where "they" is the company offering the
bandwidth.
Honestly, to me, it seems like low bandwidth users are in fact
subsidizing the people that gooble up the network. So why not have
people pay for what they use?

I am against tiered pricing and here is my reasoning.
For ATT 3% of users use about 40% of network capacity. At a first
glance, it would look like a lot of people will spend less money if they
paid for what they used. Unlimited users should pay more then casual
users. Right? If that is true, the carriers will lose money if they move
to a tiered model. No? Then why are are proposing tiered pricing?
Theoretically it may be true if they keep per GB cost low but
practically what will happen the carriers/telcos/cable providers will
bump the unlimited and per Mb usage charge way high. There will be a
perceived value in getting the higher limit plan. It's like wine tastes
better because you paid more for it. For most providers doing this will
increase their average revenue per user (AURP). Also, why are users
forced to get data plans when they get a smart phone? Now, the carries
have started forcing users to get data and text messaging plans because
the cost of voice calls are going down. Okay. I will stop my rant now.

I don't have sources to cite on hand at the second but I seem to recall
that every time tiered pricing has been tried in the US, the low
bandwidth users never see a bill reduction; only the heavy users see any
effect on their monthly cost and that is a dramatic increase. So, great
in theory, not so much in practices thus far.
There's also a common complaint that the whole issue should be moot.
The telcos have failed to upgrade their infrastructure despite increased
prices and gov't grants specifically for that purpose. Had they done so,
the available bandwidth would have more easily kept pace with the
increased load.
I'm going off memory on this and am not an expert so if I'm wrong, I'd
welcome someone setting me straight.

I was wondering if anyone has any well-working SPAM filters based on open

been using have worked fairly decently until recently, but fighting SPAM is
always a changing war.
I'm familiar with a lot of the commercial products on the market, but I want
to give Open Source a chance before going 100% commercial. I wouldn't mind a
subscription fee for some sort of signature-based service or blacklist if
there's a good one out there, but I would love to see a good open source

Kerberos (or LDAP if I must). But, assuming it is a framework then I can
just replace or modify the relevant function that does the actual password
change and still leverage all the email handling, input sanitization, html
output, etc. that would hopefully come with a framework.

GUI-fied open source packages (or debian based appliance) for a not-so-bad
price with good support and feeds for rules. Customizable per-domain and/or
per-user configurations, etc. It just works.

Message-ID:
2nd the Roaringpenguin.com recommendation. We used the open-source
version (MIMEDefang) for years and years. It worked great. Never had the
GUI (+postgres backend) or the advanced spam stuff, but i'd tested it and
liked it.
If you just want a blacklist, spamhaus is the best one out there.
If you intend to go total open source (mimedefang, spamassassin, clamav),
I'll say it's doable but it's almost a full time job keeping up with the
rules and making sure you're watching and defending against the attack du
jour. For spam fighting, it's definitely not set it and forget it.
Depending on your mail volume of course. We ended up going with a
commercial appliance (IronPort).

I don't think it is unlawful or unconstitutional for the government to
forbid an American company, say Northrop Grumman, from doing any business
with a foreign company, say Iran. For obvious reasons.
You can do business with China though. Then they'll do business with
Iran.
Oh wait. When you say overlords, did you mean our Chinese overlords? :)

Some of it on my end is going to "Junk Mail" via Outlook's crazy filtering rules. SpamSoap (rebranded mxlogic filtering) is stopping a few of the messages here and there.

I don't want to spam this list w/ debating the Constitution but you have to look at what "regulate" and "commerce" meant at the time of the signing of the Constitution. "Regulate" basically meant to keep regular, or not interfere.

Message-ID:
Yes, a nice, long writeup. And the conclusion of section IIIB seems to
support my point:
"...and the term "To regulate" means "to make regular"--that is, to
specify how an activity may be transacted--when applied to domestic
commerce, but also includes the power to make "prohibitory regulations"
when applied to foreign trade. In sum, Congress has power to specify rules
to govern the manner by which people may exchange or trade goods from one
state to another, to remove obstructions to domestic trade erected by
states, and to both regulate and restrict the flow of goods to and from
other nations (and the Indian tribes) for the purpose of promoting the
domestic economy and foreign trade."
http://www.bu.edu/rbarnett/Original.htm#IIIB
The term "to regulate", when applied to foreign trade, definitely does NOT
mean "to not interfere". Not interfering is more applicable to domestic
trade.
That said, and to steer this back on topic, I think this Human Bill of
Rights legislation is pure and utter crap from the most bleeding heart
liberal in congress. If the federal government wants to do something
about human rights violations in China (or anywhere), then do something,
damnit. Do not punish US companies cause you don't have the balls to
stand up to China yourself.

I don't agree with his conclusions but the meat of the article should give you enough information if you want to start researching the issue any further. We are supposed to be sovereign. Someone who is sovereign doesn't ask permission of anyone to trade goods and services.

So you believe that private US defense contractors, who've developed
weapons and technologies under the auspices of the US government, should
be allowed to freely trade said weapons and technologies to countries such
as China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, and North Korea?

Message-ID:
The government heavily controls imports and exports of goods, especially
weapons, raw materials, and food with taxes, quotas, and restrictions. There
are a lot of reasons for this, including making it possible to sustain our
own agriculture and keep prices competitive with other countries. That said,
Ray's point about the government not having the balls to focus on the real
issue is something I totally agree with. If the US has a problem with human
rights violations by foreign governments, they need to tackle the issue
head-on -- not attack the liberties of our own people instead.
This reminds me of the old "war by proxy" mentality of making somebody else
fight your battles for you so you can keep your own hands clean.

Govt. price fixing on imports/exports doesn't keep prices competitive and only destroys are agriculture. It only makes the prices for international goods and services for the consumer more expensive. If Coca-Cola can purchase corn (for corn syrup) from Mexico at half the price than it could from a company in Iowa but the govt. lays a tarrif on all corn imports from Mexico to make it more expensive, then Coca-Cola will buy the more expensive corn from Iowa. All that does is artifically keep prices high for consumers. Protectionism and price controls ALWAYS result in more govt. power/control and less consumer buying power.

I don't know KDE at all, but if that's some sort of a user preference thing,
you can try removing your ~/.kde* directories. (make backups first)

I am an idiot and somehow lost the BackTrack 4 menu in KDE (I think it's
because KDE fucking sucks). Does anyone know how to restore it? Doing a
reinstall is really not an option...

It's been a long time since I used KDE and I have never used backtrack
but that's not going to stop me from giving you any advice.
Is your whole menu bar missing or just backtrack applications?

Haha, thanks Karthik.
It's just the BT menu within the KDE menu.

Do people not realize that WinXP and up has zip functionality built
in? I've seen WinZip installed on way too many XP machines. Actually,
I think Me could use zip as well.
Granted, you can't span archives or set your compression level, but
you can still zip and unzip, which is 97.4% of what archiving apps are
used for.

Message-ID:
create a new user and see if you get it back from there?
kde has a kmenuedit command, so if you get the full menu from your new
user you should
be able to export stuff from that user and the import it into your
existing user account.
or just start using a new username.
