Hi Daniel,

AT&T Wireless is AS 20057

You can see all of their announced prefixes here:

http://www.robtex.com/bgp/as20057.html

At least one of the prefixes you list above is Google.

AS | IP | AS Name
15169 | 66.102.1.1 | GOOGLE - Google Inc.

Depending on what you're using to build your access table, you may be able to just allow from the AT&T AS. Not sure if netfilter/iptables can work with Autonomous System Numbers or not.

Cheers,
-Dave

If every "first" visit became a multiple query interrogation of the servers used to host the sites (versions, redirection testing, etc) before a host made a connection, you'd be wildly unpopular instantly I suspect. If you think the dig effect is specular today, you'll have seen nothing yet. This would essentially bring every new site under attack the first time it was popular.

If you're a believer in a score based system, my guess is that only the escrow/trust system scales. Everyone doing it on their own simply doesn't scale.

Hey Daniel,

Sorry, now that I've had the chance to reread this post, I mis-spoke when saying we were in disagreement. And the notion of having all of the questions already formed up in your head was clearly a figment of that prior misreading. Not sure wth I was doing at the time, or if I was interrupted between reading and replying, but clearly I ended up on some alternate conversation.

"The more questions one has floating around in their mind at any given time, the more knowledge can be harvested from day to day experiences."

I have to disagree with this. The more questions floating around in ones head the more likely they are to not generate questions based on their immediate observations. Effectively, too many questions results in too much noise and not enough room for signal. As a result, very little ends up being harvested. Instead the most likely result is "knowledge" produced inside their mind rather than by exposure to day to day experiences. Self made knowledge is often inaccurate without the test of reality. If you have a million questions already in your head, and they fill your thoughts, you'll completely miss the opportunities to harvest knowledge from your day to day.

I argue that in order to most benefit from day to day exposure to data one must be able to generate questions quickly on the spot and at the time of exposure. Going around with a head full of questions is likely to be a major distraction as it's inherently related to things not in front of you.

It's good to keep the "pump primed" so to speak, but I think the definition of curiosity is to generate questions quickly based on observation, not to have them pre-fetched.

For some reason I ended up being more of a Thundar fan.

Actually, looks like the Greeks used it in their architecture. So make that thousands of years.

This sequence is very popular in music and film. All of the Stanley Kubrick are supposed to be using it as well. They call it the "Golden Ratio". Many artists believe it is the secret to successful art. If you look, there are dances, paintings, music, and movies that all use it. Tool is doing what mathematically aware artists have been doing for a few hundred years, and mother nature since the beginning of time.

Welfare by another name. The difference here is that it allows for a market response rather than a government response. It's more successful to let people choose their own doctor and pay for it themselves than it is to use the same money (and probably more) to build a clinic because the doctors have to compete and the clinic doesn't. Competition again shows itself to be valuable. Don't get too distracted by the notion that the parents should be "taking care of their kids" anyway, that's not the main point. The same argument can be said of any kind of assistance, public or private. The "for the sake of the kids" part is just to make less people complain that New York is trying to change its public assistance program to one that allows market competition.

I've seen mIRC bots with more capability than this. =(

It must suck thinking you're cool when all you can muster is blog spam. Maybe we'll stop by and say hello while you're working your shift at the dollar store.
