PRESS RELEASE FROM THE AYN RAND INSTITUTE
2121 Alton Parkway, Suite 250
Irvine CA 92606July 24, 2002
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEGOVERNMENT REGULATION IS KILLING THE STOCK MARKET       IRVINE, CA -- The steep decline in the stock market is being fueled
by investors' realization that increasing government constraints on
corporate America will harm business and the economy--not help them, said
Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute.       "Instead of launching a witch-hunt against CEOs and rushing to give
the government wider powers over business, we should get rid of the complex
and contradictory regulations that encourage bad accounting and prevent
shareholders from acting in their own interest."       "The common explanation that 'greed' is to blame makes no sense--the
abuses in companies like Enron and WorldCom were not exercises in
self-interest, but in self-destruction.       "In an unfettered free market the desire for profit is satisfied by
honest, long-range, rational behavior: by innovating, by hiring the best
employees, by selling quality products and by providing accurate information
to the owners of the corporation--the shareholders. As for short-range
managers, the markets will not tolerate them. As for the real swindlers,
existing laws against force and fraud are sufficient to protect us."       "If our politicians are indeed concerned about the stock market,"
said Dr. Brook, "let them demonstrate it by eliminating, not adding,
regulations and making the market truly free."###   ###   ###Ayn Rand Institute executive director Dr. Yaron Brook is available for

so we've made tons of progress on the f-n rate since then.  But the mere

so I'm left with the same comment:> # XXX So, if another way is found to slash the f-n rate, the decision here

what effect HTML stripping would have (I don't have suitable test data to
measure that on).

the uncontrollable forest fires were the result of the Forest Service's
long-standing "10:00 A.M. policy", in place until the decision in 1963 to
switch over to "let-it-burn".The 10:00 A.M. policy was based on theories about forest management from
Europe, and wasn't as applicable to the American wilds. So, we went from a
policy of containment for 100 years to one of letting things burn unless they
directly threatened property.40 years after the end of the containment policy there is still a lot of stuff
left to burn. I can't imagine that artificially planted replacement
forests, with dense stands of identical trees, help that much either. I would be comfortable laying the fault for these contributing factors
squarely with the Forest Service. I would put the blame for many burned homes
upon the people who chose to build their dwelling with an unwise combination of
materials, location, and landscaping.--

>list specifically dealing with MacOSX?  (which, FYI is a version of BSD)>SlÃ¡n,>TimHi Tim,
It isn't a "version" of anything except NeXTSTEP, with a Mac hackjob.
It has a bastardised, but functional BSD -layer- which sit's atop Mach and
uses case insensitive HFS+ but it isn't really a BSD.(Here's a neat trick, touch "Makefile" and "makefile", notice the lack of
error message but the absence of "makefile", and don't bother formatting for
UFS. The Apple UFS implementation performs like a dog, was frozen in 97,
implemented badly and has not been updated since. HFS+ get's tweaked every
now and then, but enough screaming has them looking at shoving UFS2 in there
somewhere down the road. )Then there's the holdover NeXT inherent weirdness, such as multiple versions
of common Unix files, but none of them do anything, and all changes you
would usually append to them have to go through NetInfo Manager.All in all, I find it to be a functional, if not overly quirky desktop
environment.As for your initial question,
http://www.omnigroup.com/developer/mailinglists/Regards,
Mark.

holiday safety reminder holiday safety reminder the holiday season can mean an increased risk of fires and a higher potential for criminal activity due to people taking advantage of convenient downtown shopping and because of the increased number of special events and office parties . we would like to pass along a few safety and security tips from the city of houston fire department and the houston police department . ? please do not prop open stairwell doors or doors to the freight elevators . this defeats security . ? use only artificial trees and greenery in decorating your office space . do not place cut trees or greenery within the building . cut trees become major fire hazards when they dry out . ? office parties or the holiday mood may distract you . be alert for thieves who try to take advantage of the holiday season . sometimes just having fewer people at work during the holidays creates an opening for thieves . if you see someone that does not appear to belong in your work area , immediately call the enron security console at 713 - 853 - 5360 . ? keep your purse or wallet with you at all times or locked away in a drawer or closet . ? if you go shopping , invite a friend to go along . try not to overload yourself with packages . when you return , lock your gifts away in a safe place . ? always be aware of your surroundings while in a public area . if things don  , t look right , follow your instincts and avoid going into the area . ? when waiting for a ride home after hours , remain inside the building near a card - reader door until you see your ride arrive . ? if office parties are on company premises and involve alcoholic beverages or public invitees , call security at 713 - 853 - 5360 . security will advise you as to company guidelines .

This is not directly SpamAssassin related, but more of a general
dealing-with-SPAM issue.What is the best way to deal with SPAM during the SMTP transaction?
There are domains and addresses that I know are SPAM at the 'MAIL
FROM' and can deal with at the SMTP level. I have been, and I think
most people, respond with a 5.7.1 code, a "permanent" error. That
pretty much means, "Don't bother to try from that address again,
you'll get the same error." People often add cathartic messages to
accompany the 550 like, "Spammers must die."But this might not be the best way to go. You are telling the spammers
that you are on to them. This may cause them to try other methods to
get around your blocks. Is it perhaps better to blackhole the mail?
That is, act like everything is OK during the SMTP transaction, but
then just drop the mail into the bitbucket. (This is generally how
SpamAssassin works since almost everyone uses it after the SMTP
transaction has completed successfully.) Spammer thinks everything is
going fine and has no reason to try new methods.Then there is a third possibility. Instead of returning a 550 code
indicating you're on to the spammer, fake a 5.1.1 response which is
saying "mailbox does not exist." This would be in the hopes that some
spammers out there actually remove names reported as non-existent from
their lists. I know, a slim hope, but even if only a few do, it can
lower the incidence.So, what are the arguments for each? Do spammers even look at _any_ of
the bounce messages they get? The volume of bounces must be
huge. Personally, I'm starting to think blackholes are the way to
go... But sending back that "Spammer die, die, die," or stock "Access
DEE-NIED!" (my ephasis added) message can be pretty satisfying. ;)

Hi,I am looking at the options for a UNIX/Linux Virtual Server capable of holding multiple domains - preferably not tooo expensive as I am not a business. I wish to build a few PHP/MySQL sites and host them...A rough list of features I am after areCirca 50MB-100MB web space for now
POP email accounts
Account Control Panel
Perl
PHP
MySQL
FTP and Telnet Access 24/7
Own CGI-BIN
Webalizer Graphical Stats
Server Side Includes
Good Reachable Technical SupportI have seen a great looking 300MB solution in the region of 600Euro p.a. which at the moment is a bit over my financial head in one payment - I haven't completed any sites yet, but have a few potential jobs coming up.Any tips/pointers much appreciated!Regards,

When reviewing the Toshiba Pocket PC e740, I spent a lot of time trying to understand its XScale processor. A benchmark provided by Intel seems to indicate that it performs certain operations faster than previous Pocket PCs, but in hands-on use we didn't find any significant difference in performance. I'm still not certain whether I should attribute performance limitation to the operating system (which hasn't been optimized for the new chips), applications (which likewise haven't be optimized), or simply that the new chip isn't that much better than the old StrongARM. But regardless, the e740 is an exceptional Pocket PC and one I don't hesitate to recommend to those looking for a high-powered PDA.

enron sells hpl and bammel american electric power buys houston pipe line american electric power thursday announced it has made a major move to expand its wholesale natural gas business in the southwest , agreeing to acquire the 2 . 4 bcf / d houston pipe line ( hpl ) along with the bammel storage field , one of the largest storage fields in north america , from enron . aep said since some details remain to be worked out , it was not disclosing the terms of the transaction at this time . aep will be acquiring the stock of hpl and it expects to complete the deal in the next couple months . hpl , one of the two original pipelines joined by enron chairman ken lay to form the company in the mid - 1980 s , has an extensive 4 , 400 mile transportation and gathering system through southern texas . the 118 bcf bammel field , located near the houston ship channel market area , has a 65 . 7 bcf working gas capacity and is known for its fast in and out capabilities . it has a 1 . 4 bcf / d peak withdrawal rate and a 365 mmcf / d injection capacity . " adding hpl to our natural gas asset portfolio will help us reach our goal of becoming a top - 10 gas trader and marketer , " said paul addis , executive vice president for aep . the company currently is second in the u . s . in electricity volume . " hpl will enhance aep ' s natural gas business with its multiple connections into the production areas of texas , its numerous interconnects with intrastate and interstate pipelines and its position in and around houston as a premier provider of natural gas . " aep , headquartered in columbus , oh , has numerous power generation plants in the midwest and southwest , including a number of gas - fired plants in texas . in 1998 it bought the louisiana intrastate gas ( lig ) system . john olson , energy analyst with sanders , morris & mundy in houston , said " for 55 years hpl has enjoyed a reputation as one of the strongest pipelines in the country . as a stand - alone operation it is first class . it ' s a very , very strong asset . " he said hpl has been showing losses of $ 50 million a year or more in recent years , " but those numbers are meaningless " because enron has been using it at discounted transportation rates to underpin its marketing efforts . olson said the sale is a continuation of enron ' s move to sell most of its hard assets and become a soft asset player . " they are emphasizing their trading . they are doing far better at trading . " for one houston - based risk manager , the sale of hpl by enron was a question of rate of return . the competition among intrastates in texas is fiercely competitive and for gas delivered to the houston ship channel it can be a game of half - cents , with a shipper on one of the multiple intrastates undercutting another to try to shave a profit , he said . enron recognized this and wanted out , he speculated . - -

I actually like Neale's X-Spam-Disposition header, I just wonder if maybe we
should choose something with a different prefix than "X-Spam-" so that
people don't confuse it with SpamAssassin, all of whose headers begin with
that prefix.Also, some sort of version information would be useful.  Perhaps the CVS
version number for the classifier module could be tacked on.Skip

completely transparent. The ratings and the feedback is there for all to
see. Most importantly it relies on the individual to make the decision for
themselves rather or not to trust a buyer/seller.Contrast this with TeS which utilizes "sooper secret" methodologies to
determine rather or not a submitter is trusted or not and at what point
something becomes spam at some level of "confidence."The unfortunate thing is that in my experience Razor is an incredibly
ineffective filter at this point. The spot checking I've done indicates about
a 40% hit rate. Submissions I made a week ago still don't count as spam,
apparently because I'm not trusted enough, or enough people haven't submitted
the item, or some unknown combination thereof. Why anyone would continue to
waste their time submitting items when they aren't being accepted due to
a series of calculations which will not be shared is beyond me.Any trust model that cannot survive public scrutiny isn't worth trusting IMHO./\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Hi all,
Is there any way that the mailing list can be
turned into newsgroup?Newsgroups are great for threading of discussions,
working offline and I feel that they work
much better for this sort of technical discussion
than a mailing list.Any ideas?
Paul...p.s. Hamster doesn't work, cos I get the list
