| 00:16.34 | Bradipo | I hate spammers. |
| 00:17.19 | Bradipo | Look at this subject and the effort they are putting into avoiding filters: |
| 00:17.23 | Bradipo | Subject: FWD: Here's All Meds. xana:x: ' V1AGR@ ' Va/l/ium ( Fi0.ric3t ` S0m@ ( .P.ntermin wHkka |
| 00:17.49 | Tenebram | I'm frustrated that my usb key isn't being recognized by this lab computer. |
| 00:18.07 | Bradipo | Thank goodness for regexs like v[i1][a@]gr[a@] :-) |
| 00:19.20 | Newsome | Yeah, like we all need _just one_ more viagra offer... |
| 00:20.14 | Bradipo | I think the majority of spam we receive is Viagra related. |
| 00:20.38 | Newsome | I'm not surprised. It's probably the same for us |
| 00:20.54 | Tenebram | Mine is nearly all medication-related. |
| 00:21.02 | Bradipo | Hey, I had a question about BYU's IT group. |
| 00:21.21 | Bradipo | My sister works at BYU and she asked me why I get so many calls on Sundays. |
| 00:21.54 | Bradipo | Then I asked her, if BYU's website went down on Sunday would they be called about it? |
| 00:22.30 | Bradipo | She said that they probably wouldn't have to do anything about it until Monday. |
| 00:22.30 | Newsome | I think they would. The church has computers in the datacenter too, and there's always someone there, on-duty. |
| 00:22.38 | Tenebram | Yeah... |
| 00:22.38 | Bradipo | But then I don't think she knows what IT is really about. :-) |
| 00:22.48 | Newsome | They probably wouldn't fix it until Monday, but they'd know about it :) |
| 00:22.58 | Bradipo | Well, that's what I meant. |
| 00:23.03 | Bradipo | Would they have to do anything about it until then? |
| 00:23.54 | Newsome | They have "official" down-time Monday mornings from midnight to 6. I guess it's their 'fix-it' window. |
| 00:24.02 | Bradipo | Cool. |
| 00:24.24 | Newsome | I'm not sure if they'd do much about it on a Sunday, though. They'd probably just let it go down. |
| 00:24.35 | Bradipo | That's what I thought too. |
| 00:24.59 | Bradipo | I mean, its not like you have corporate pressures about sales and profits or anything. |
| 00:25.11 | Newsome | Back when MyDoom was big, I tried contacting them all weekend about getting email back up, but nobody seemed to care. |
| 00:25.15 | Newsome | true |
| 00:25.17 | Bradipo | lol |
| 00:25.28 | Bradipo | Yeah, my sister wasn't even aware that they had turned off email until I told her myself. |
| 00:25.57 | Newsome | I was pretty mad that they had just completely turned off email. For 4 days. Yeah, that'll help the problem. |
| 00:26.15 | Bradipo | Well, I can only imagine how many infected systems might be hitting BYU. |
| 00:26.38 | Bradipo | The number of BYU email addresses floating out there is considerably more than sco.com |
| 00:27.02 | Newsome | They left the student and faculty email lists open, and someone's box sent to both lists! |
| 00:27.29 | Bradipo | The signal to noise ratio was definitely slowing down the flow of legitimate email. |
| 00:27.47 | Newsome | ouch |
| 00:27.50 | Tenebram | And turning it off didn't slow it down even more? |
| 00:27.57 | Bradipo | lol |
| 00:28.04 | Bradipo | It didn't slow it down at all. |
| 00:28.08 | Bradipo | It stopped it. :-) |
| 00:28.11 | Tenebram | You don't get much slower than stopped. |
| 00:28.32 | Bradipo | Just goes to show that email isn't 100% reliable yet. |
| 00:28.49 | Bradipo | Neither are phones, but phones seem to be much less susceptible to viruses. |
| 00:29.11 | Tenebram | I'd just be happy if I could get these stupid lab computers to recognize my usb drive. |
| 00:29.31 | Newsome | I checked both our DNS servers, and we didn't have any requests for www.sco.com during the MyDoom period. |
| 00:29.39 | Newsome | VoIP is okay. |
| 00:29.49 | Bradipo | That's good. |
| 00:29.58 | Newsome | I'd take a good digital PBX over VoIP, though. |
| 00:30.06 | Bradipo | We were definitely getting hit with a lot of DNS queries, but nothing that we couldn't handle. |
| 00:30.26 | Bradipo | I was being sarcastic about VoIP. |
| 00:30.43 | Bradipo | Not only will email become unreliable, but so will phones with VoIP. |
| 00:30.52 | Bradipo | I would prefer a PBX as well. |
| 00:31.00 | Newsome | All the things you hate about IP, combined with all the things you hate about phones! |
| 00:31.14 | Bradipo | Yep. |
| 00:32.43 | voip | totally |
| 00:33.08 | voip | anyone who says otherwise is a liar or just ignorant |
| 00:35.35 | Bradipo | Although, if VoIP is free I wouldn't mind using it. :-) |
| 00:35.47 | Bradipo | I wouldn't mind calling all across the US for free over the Internet. |
| 00:36.21 | Bradipo | I tried speakfreely in the past and it wasn't too bad. |
| 00:36.34 | Bradipo | But it dropped packets a lot and wasn't the most user friendly program. |
| 00:40.31 | neybar | anyone know how to lowercase and strip out white space from a variable in ASP (vbscript) |
| 00:41.46 | Jayce^ | use perl |
| 00:44.18 | neybar | I would if I could... |
