Since the Antenna is right outside of your dwelling, are they actually paying you to rent the space the signal will be transmitting from? If not, you may ask them to pay you outright or have them fully isolate the signal from entering your dwelling. Otherwise, you can contact the Condo administration and ask for your "kickback" for housing such "dangerous" signals to your dwelling. Has anyone done this in the past?

This is why there would be a global payment system that mail servers would join... the user would purchase a minimum of 5-10$ of eStamps and would be distributed monthly to the providers. sender provider and payment provider would get 35% of the fee while 30% goes to the receiver provider. Problem solved.
Sender and receiver provider would make money while the actual sender is paying for it.

Look at my mail server's spam status.
the RBL has blocked 95% of the spam out there.
57.5% had no SPF records. Looks like SPF has gained a lot of ground now... almost half of the Internet is now using it.
Using Surgemail, I do not need to use 3rd party anti-spam systems as the anti-spam is handled by the mail server itself. It handled 4 million messages in a month and does not break a sweat. I love this mail server and no other system can persuade me to switch... Support is incredible, service top notch... can not praise it enough.

Stimulus Bill May Allow Packet Inspection by ISPs 2

Submitted by unassimilatible
unassimilatible writes "While it has been widely-reported that the nearly $1 trillion "stimulus" bill is chock-full of pork projects which have little or nothing to do with stimulating the economy, some even more insidious things appear to be hidden in it. First, we hear that there may be some Big Brother monitoring of health care. But even scarier is an amendment which made its way into the bill which would allow packet inspection by Internet Service Providers. The amendment was inserted by Hollywood's best friend and Net Neutrality foe, California Senator Diane Feinstein (D). From the amendment: "In establishing obligations under paragraph (8), the assistant secretary shall allow for reasonable network management practices such as deterring unlawful activity, including child pornography and copyright infringement.""

64 Gigabit Flash Memory Technology Revealed->

Submitted by
Al
Al writes "Researchers from SanDisk have announced a thumbnail-sized Flash Memory drive capable of storing 64 gigabits of data. While a single applied voltage is normally used to write data to a memory cell, the new approach writes data to four-bit (multi-level) cells instead. Writing to these cell can easily erase a neighboring cell due to electrical coupling effects, so the SanDisk team use an approach called three-step programming, which involves writing to several nearby cells in a number of steps. "Developing a four-bit-per-cell chip is a massive challenge, and we consider this to be a major breakthrough," says Khandker Quader, senior vice president of memory technology and product development at SanDisk. Quader adds that the work presented at the conference has implications for generations of flash memory to come."

Firefox is faster in wine than the native one

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "Tuxradar did some benchmarks comparing Firefox Windows and Linux JavaScript performance.
"We did some simple JavaScript benchmarks of Firefox 3.0 using Windows and Linux to see how it performed across the platforms — and the results are pretty bleak for Linux."
Later on, they tried wine.
"The end result: Firefox from Mozilla or from Fedora has almost nil speed difference, and Firefox running on Wine is faster than native Firefox.""

I highly doubt that global warming is reversible. What about the Canadian invention to clear our air of CO2 that is available? I think it is time that the Governments stepped up and considered investing money for the environment as I have not even seen any bailout package for the Environmental development. Guys, its our future, our childrens' futures, our grandchildrens' futures, Let's not make it worse for them to live on this planet!

A bug in the hand is better than one as yet undetected.
