NEW YORK -- Peer-to-peer networks such as Morpheus and Audiogalaxy have enabled millions to trade music, movies and software freely. A group of veteran hackers is about to unveil a new peer-to-peer protocol that may eventually let millions more surf, chat and e-mail free from prying eyes.

There are good spamming filters out there. Depending on the software you use of course....but, I find the product at www.cloudmark.com to be the best. It will only work if you use Outlook or Outlook Express, but it installs easily, operates in the background and automatically filters spam from a reported list of spammers within a community of over 40,000 users.

99% of the spam that my ISP is kind enough to promote, automatically gets flushed.

Another nice feature is that it puts it into a special folder called spam, which you can review as time allows and be sure that no good mail gets hard deleted by mistake. Once you've reviewed it, you move it to the trash. Thus, It keeps it out of your inbox.

You can also add spammers to the community list if one gets through. Works great, less filling.

bump for a closer look. We need something like this.

...how do we tell a regular Joe from a criminal? You can't in a free country.

Sometimes it seems like in this country they're trying to make regular Joes into criminals.

Yeah, send them a letter saying to remove your email from their list so they can lift your return email and sell you to catalog companies. Great idea.

If we had been more careful about visa controls, border security, and in enforcing existing airline security, 9/11 would have been prevented or attenuated. If we deport radical Moslems, they can e-mail each other encrypted steganographs all they want.

Kerberos: Yes, freedom comes at a price. But it’s still a better buy than the alternatives.

LibKill: DANG! I wish I had said that!

Kerberos: You will, LibKill, you will.

Apologies to Monty Python. :)

Yeah, if not prevented, it sure would've been much harder for them to pull off. And, we must stay vigilant to not let the damn socialists set us up again.

"Kerberos: You will, LibKill, you will. "

LOL

"Yes, I want to be free but I also want my friends and family to live in peace"

You want PEACE?

Graveyards are filled with orderly, neat and clean rows of people who are experiencing complete peace... and peace is way overrated imho.

I would rather die free, in a struggle to maintain absolute individualism and the freedome it engenders, than to "enjoy" the peacefulness of a prison cell.

I wish that for my kids too.

The idea that government of anything = peace... is ridiculous in the extreme, WE HAVE never HAD as many laws on the books; state, local and federal than we have today.. never in the history of man. Has it diminished crime or increased moral virtue statistically in any realm? I would argue NO.

In fact, the more they try and govern us, the worse our culture gets... maybe we need to try a different tack... but we wont. WE keep doing the same thing by writing more laws, but expecting different results... its crazy.

Freedom by its nature means DANGER... after all a person who is free to do what they will, MAY do the wrong thing. But I wonder, if making laws made people do right, wouldn't the trend lines be going the other way?

We need a LOT less government, not a slower growth of the same. We need to ratchet it way way back to about the 1825's level or thereabouts. Government needs to go on a serious crash diet... before it kills us all off, by starving us to death with taxes and needless regulations.
