Techworld.com - Anti-spam service hacked by spammers

Normally, I post tech stuff on URLyGrl.com, but this time it is affecting 2 email addresses at UnityPond.net. The spammers have apparently hacked the anti-spam place, sent me yes about 26 messages warning me to remove myself from the anti-spam service. However, even if I decide to comply, the anti-spam service was brought to it's knees and I am unable to access the site!

If you receive any wacky spam messages from kate@UnityPond.net, please my humble and sincere apology!

Kate

Techworld.com - Anti-spam service hacked by spammers: "Blue Security launched its “do-not-intrude registry” last July, which critics said amounted to vigilantism because it traced and sent opt-out email to the senders of unwanted email.

Now the spammers have struck back by emailing threats to a portion of Blue Security’s 450,000 members, demanding they stop using the service.

Normally, the list the spammers are told to steer clear of for fear of being deluged with returns is encrypted – the spammers use an identical algorithm to determine a permitted list of names. The implication is that this has somehow been reverse engineered, allowing them access to some of the user list."

The Improved Hubble Telescope

Per Modern Marvels show on the History Channel, the improved hubble telescope can now see 10.5 billion light years into the past, a distance that approaches the edges of the big-bang at the beginning of the universe.

Gail, Pete and I checked how long that is (and in the past??). Apparently 6 million miles x 10.5 billion will give the distance.

Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Finches Provide Answer to Another Evolutionary Riddle

Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Finches Provide Answer to Another Evolutionary Riddle: "On the other hand, in a relatively stable population, if all females mated with the flashiest guy, the charm of finches would become inbred. Instead, female finches should seek out males with the most genetic difference from themselves. But this would lead to a variety of hues for male finch breasts. 'Even though preference for genetically complementary mates is widely documented, it has always puzzled people that individual differences in mate preference do not prevent the evolution of elaborate ornaments,' ecologist Alexander Badyaev notes."

TAXI FAQs: A&R Interview: Sarah McLachlan - Finds Her Own Walden Pond: "by Bill DeMain

Thoreau once said that every writer's duty was to give 'first and last, a simple and sincere account of their own life.' More than his sage words reached 26-year old singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan. In preparing the songs for her latest release, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (Arista), the Canadian songstress, perhaps inspired by Thoreau's Walden experience, retreated to an isolated cabin in the mountains for nearly seven months of meditation and soul-searching. 'It was just an amazing time for me,' she relates."

Burger King Corporation is committed to the humane treatment of the food animals used for its products. Implementing its new practices and audits is the right thing to do, and the Company is committed to raising animal handling standards across the country. Burger King Corporation is taking an industry leadership role and is working with the National Council of Chain Restaurants (NCCR) and Food Marketing Institute (FMI) Animal Welfare Steering Committee on establishing joint industry guidelines and auditing programs. The Committee's goals are to obtain animal welfare guidelines that have objective, measurable indices for desirable practices in the growing, handling and processing of animals in food production; to foster uniformity for determining standards; to base guidelines for animal welfare on sound science; and to develop the measurable audit processes necessary to monitor best practices.

Common Black-Hawk

Common Black-Hawk: "Description 20-23' (51-58 cm). A stocky black bird of prey with broad wings and a broad white band across the tail; cere and legs yellow, latter visible in flight. When soaring, holds its wings flat and somewhat resembles Black Vulture"

THE MONK PARAKEET

"Natives of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and central Bolivia, they have been imported into the United States as pets. It is generally believed that in the late 1960's, a container of parakeets was dropped and broke open at Kennedy Airport in New York. Several birds escaped and established wild populations in Long Island. Since then the birds have spread into Connecticut with populations reported from Branford to Norwalk. The original birds have probably been joined by escaped pets."

Monks

ozjett: "Quakers make great pets, they are little angels as long as they have not been taught bad behaviours. They provide continual amusement to all who meet them. Quakers in their natural habitat are known for their building, so lots of toys that can be shoved into bars are a good idea."
