Why I no longer bother to complain to ISPs about spam

The simple answer: reporting spam to ISPs is not an effective way tomake the spam stop.

My job is to protect my users (or just myself) from spam, not tohelp ISPs police their customers and clean up their spam problems.Complaining to ISPs is no longer an effective way to do my actual job,if it ever was; blocking spammers, spam sources, and ISPs is, though.Once I have dealt with the problem, complaining to the ISP is at bestdonating my time and effort

Or, in short: Solaris 10 is just a warmed-over, slightly tuned


A clever way of doing IP address assignment

One of the little hassles with hardware that can be managed over thenetwork is the bootstrapping problem: it has to somehow get an IPaddress so that you can manage it and give it the right IP address. Overthe years, vendors have come up with any number of solutions to this,such as the ever-popular 'give it an initial static IP address and it'sup to you to arrange a host that can talk to it'.

嘩。

收到四個不同男人發出的短訊。

中英法日俱全。

發生了甚麼事?

近來香港女人很缺貨嗎?

世上最錯的事就是當男人打電話給你你認不出他的聲音還用另一個男人的名字喚他。

如果你跟我一樣成長於七、八十年代的澳門,請問你還記得小學時讀的課本有描述過澳門嗎?我的印象中是沒有的,英文課本的主角“明輝”和“小明”只會去新界郊遊,尺牘課本的女主角“小曼”會寫信向住在外國的表兄介紹
