<0> and by most people's standards it's probably still light and mostly lands in my outlook Junkmail
<0> And I find it kind of funny
<0> I find it kind of sad
<0> The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
<0> I find it hard to tell you
<0> I find it hard to take
<1> I'm going to make it a mission of mine to ridicule any tele-marketer from now on.
<1> I think it's going to be fun.
<1> Like putting on an incomprehensible accent ;)
<1> See how THEY like it hehehe.
<0> don't get those anymore. first because I got on the telco's filtering thing..forget the name. then signed up for that national listing thing.
<0> then since dumping landline :)
<1> Pricks.
<0> this grey song sounds familiar
<1> It's faily famous.
<0> you guys don't have anything in place to stop it?
<1> Not that I know of.
<0> oh, Do Not Call. that's the one you sign up on here
<1> Is that like some governing law?
<1> One more :
<1> :)
<0> it is a listing that makes it illegal for telemarketers to call you
<0> started a few years back
<1> Nice.
<0> but, I also had this service on my landline that Ameritech offered before that. I just can't remember the name
<1> I rarely answer my home phone. Only at time I think they wouldn't call.
<2> hey
<1> Y0.
<2> under linux, what's the best way to rename all of the files in a directory to lowercase?
<0> made it so if they blocked their number, they'd have to get me to approve their incoming call. all these computerized spam calling things couldn't deal with it. went to nothing telemarketer calls
<3> FKnight`: with perl if thats your bent
<1> FKnight`, http://www.linuxforum.com/man/rename.1.php
<3> I used to have a script for that, but my box is down atm
<2> Dovinshka: I'll try that thanks
<0> and for a couple that got through and repeatidly called, I call the telco's Call Annoyance bureau and reported them :)
<1> Ooh, It's funny that all the calls I get are FOR the telco's ;)
<0> damn
<1> ****ing offshoring.
<1> Where did Gimp-Cow go?
<0> if only they could do that for spam. I mean really, I don't need any email from brazil...or russia for that matter
<1> Same.
<1> TLD blocking :P
<0> heh. so, our work domain in .com is/was a brazillian porn site. it is down now and I hear we have made an offer to buy it from them for their asking price (which was probably dumb because now they know someone is willing to pay that much, they can hold out for more)
<0> of course, the asking was a bargain for such insanity. think it was just under 10k
<0> but we haven't heard back :-)
<1> See, you can't do that here.
<1> It's illegal.
<4> Dovinshka, where's "here"?
<1> For .com.au that is.
<4> ah
<1> Or anything .au.
<1> Auda protects us.
<4> actually, its legality worldwide depends on trademarks, brand names, prior use, etc.
<5> cant we just ***ume all url's in the channel are nsfw?
<4> you can contest domain ownership if someone steals your name
<1> We have a terrific set of policies here. In fact, if you send unsolicited emails without an unsubscribe feature, you will get fined.
<0> well, they had our domain.com (we're .org) for ages.
<1> Thuryn, yes thats different though.
<0> and it is not in anyway an obvious porn name, at least in english
<1> Thuryn, have a read here, http://www.auda.org.au/
<1> Our policies are quite strict.
<0> but it has been the domain bane of our existance foreva
<4> Baracuda, you could dispute ownership - esp given what they're doing with it - via internic
<6> Dovinshka: uh huh, and what if your name is mcdonald, and you want mcdonalds.com.au, McDonalds can just bully you to get their way
<0> whatever we "can" do, I believe the lawyers are well on top of it. so we'll leave it to that as opposed to irc advise :)
<6> what if your nickname is "Big Mac" and you want bigmac.com.au
<6> does McDonalds have anymore "right" to that domain name than you do?
<6> sure its a trademark
<1> Jet, yeah that's always the case. I had a client who had laserjetsupplies.com.au, and had it for a few years, and so then HP decided it would take action in obtaining that name.
<4> Baracuda, well, given that i'm a DNS admin for missouri.edu and have fought these battles, i suggest at least showing it to them, since it's $10K cheaper.
<6> but does that mean EVERY trademark in the world should be an unregisterable domain
<6> Dovinshka: yup
<0> not to mention that for all I know they had the domain.com before we had the domain.org
<6> Dovinshka: and the big boys have the money
<0> it isn't a new developement
<6> and can just bully you into giving it up
<1> They didn't even want to fight it, as it would cost more than the effort.
<1> It's a cruel world.
<1> Mad world...
<0> and yet still, some admin on irc vs company lawyers mean nothing to me
<4> Baracuda, but when did your company come into existence, and does it use the same name?
<0> whatever stfu
<6> I'm reading articles about this problem in 2000 BoardWatch magazines
<6> and how something has to be done
<6> 6 years later, same problems
<1> But you are fighting against the big names in business. They unfortunately have first dibs on laws ;)
<4> i see. so not doing anything about it is always the best policy. well, whatever. it's only your company's money. no skin off my nose.
<0> no. but legal council over some wank on irc means lots
<4> for starters, it's *counsel
<6> oh, he wanted to start the meta argument
<6> lets debate spelling, and the subject we're debating
<1> I remember the story on mikerowesoft.
<0> dunno. but being stupid enough to push an op that doesn't like you in the first place is stupid :-)
<1> http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/01/19/offbeat.mike.rowe.soft.ap/
<1> However, that kid did it with full intentions of creating an issue.
<6> right
<6> cause he could have registered mikerowe-software
<6> or soemthing
<1> Exactly.
<1> The only thing that bugs me is that if they wanted it in the first place, they should have done something about it then, not create issues for small business later.
<1> This is the loophole we need to fix.
<6> its a tough issue... if you say "you snooze you loose" then it encourages cybersquatting
<1> Yeah.
<6> if you say the trademark holder has rights, it ****s up people who have a legit "right" to a domain name
<1> Basically it should be dependent if the company that owns the domain is a tranding company with that name.
<1> That is a must here in .au
<1> it must be a trademark or business name in oreder to ourchase the domain.
<1> Damn, now I can't spell.
<0> dunno what he wanted to start, but he didn't have the sense to stop message harr***ing me after I warned him. PERMA
<0> :)
<1> Heh.
<0> I especially like how they think you give a **** about their insults. DUDE. I just banned you. Do I give a **** what you have to say? :-D
<1> Can't you use server side ignore anyway
<1> ?
<7> MENSA
<7> PERMA-BAN TO MENSA MEMBERS
<7> **** your top 98th percentile IQs
<0> perma is more fun :)
<7> Anyone here a mensa member?
<7> I Swear to god i'll kick your ignoranus *** out.
<0> I used to **** one.
<0> but she used to laugh at the whole mensa thing too
<7> tickle me elmo
<0> she was not typical
<0> in anything
<7> mensa = pinnacle of arrogance
<1> sartan, nah just did they test :)
<0> she was ****ing my bf too :)
<7> i was ****ing her too
<1> Baracuda, that would have made for a steamy threesome :D
<7> i didn't have *** tonight.
<0> she blew us both , together in the bathroom at a party
<1> Nice.
<7> a steamy threesome is three evenly placed piles of fresh **** outside in the cold
<0> the same party she tapped on my shoulder and made me aware that I had nailed everyone there. god I was a whore
<0> but hell, it was preaids days. why not
<1> Baracuda, dude, you gotta take me to these parties :D
<0> it was a loooong time ago
<1> sartan, dude WRONG THREESOME!
<7> haha
<1> Turd baths heh.
<0> ew
