I have a threefold problem with "cloud" storage/computing 1) Lack of control/physical security, up to and including removing my access to my own data due to a violation of some cockamamie TOS or similar agreement. 2) No ability to remedy downtimes, while rare, still do happen. 3) The ability of government agencies to scan my data for whatever they feel like arbitrarily and possibly without due process.

I prefer at the proxy level. Dansguardian/Squid/ClamAV is pretty easy to set up on your distro of choice.

Okay see what you are describing are best practices, which completely ignores the bad practices that organizations actually.......practice. They do bother, since it doesn't cost them a damn thing to get an invalid address bounceback to an address that isn't theirs. If you shotgun out enough messages about your 30 dollar dick pills and 1 percent of people buy them, congratulations, you've just made money.

I'd actually love to see a citation on this, I could google it but maybe you have an article handy. I generally err on the side of brute force or social engineering rather than out and out "hack" or system compromise.

It could very well have just been guessed, the spammers' mail servers are more than likely more than capable of shotgun blasting millions of messages to $randomstring@domain.com in less time than you'd think, and if you change the replyto address, you don't even get the bouncebacks.

I fail to understand the purpose of this law. If you don't fufill your contract with your provider, they generally have early termination fees and such in their contracts, why do they need the feds to enforce something that doesn't need to be enforced.?

Someone has to say it, may as well be me. What is this MSN?

Probably a dozen.

Well that's a whole other discussion, 120 similarly configured access points is worse, IMHO.

This problem has been solved already, it's called WDS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

Well it's a lazy journalistic crutch and needs to be mocked at every opportunity.

Came here to post this.

A pool. A list of gun owners. Same thing!

Not really see what they actually did was just literally publish the list, they didn't incite anyone to violence. I'm not entirely sure I agree with the release of the list to begin with, for other reasons.
