But that's the same for any higher topic, like gravity or math or free
will. If someone wants to talk about a complex topic they need to step
up to the level of sophistication that the subject requires of the
participants.

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:55:56 +0000

Hmm, the results indicate we might be switching back to DISQUS. IntenseDebate is that bad, huh? It lacks a certain aesthetic for me, I have to say. I think I prefer DISQUS as well, but wanted to see what the consensus was.

danielmiessler.com | grep understanding : Sleep and Exercise

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:24:17 +0000

Pretty much, yes. It's also been the experience of anyone I've spoken to about the topic, but that's the same for "feeling the hand of God" for 99% of my friends, so I accept the validity of your push-back. I would say that I've also read in numerous places that exercise is listed as one of the best ways to improves sleep, but I'd have to find you some references on that. Finally, it makes sense from a science standpoint, which, alas, cannot be said for the types of claims that your type of response is normally a reaction to.

When you use the term "definition" you speak as if you have something to back you up. I have a dictionary, what do you have? The OED clearly defines atheism as either being the lack of belief in a god OR THE BELIEF THAT THERE IS NO GOD. So, what is your authority on which you are disagreeing with the OED?

Carl, can you update your avatar at Intense Debate? Sorry for the hassle.

Sekiur My Thoughts : Checkpoint Firewall-1 and The SIP Protocol

Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:29:00 +0000

I disabled SmartDefense to make sure it wasn't the problem. As for the externip settings, I have those NAT settings in place buy my provider is still sending me traffic to my internal IP rather than to my external IP. I'm not sure how it's even making it back to me, but it seems like it should be coming to the host defined in externhost or externip. Thoughts?

Sekiur My Thoughts : Checkpoint Firewall-1 and The SIP Protocol

I am having the same problem with outbound SIP connections getting their source port mangled by Check Point. I have modified my SIP service to the 'none' protocol handler, but the source port mangling is still taking place. How did you get Check Point to leave the source port alone on outbound SIP connections? Any help would be appreciated.

danielmiessler.com | grep understanding : Why I Think Google Chrome Will Be Highly Successful

Fri, 2 Jan 2009 06:43:26 +0000

Agreed, they've had some failures as well. I would say, however, that Orkut is a different beast than Chrome because it's pretty hard to get "into" a social network for a user. You have to invite all your friends and hope they stay, etc. It's difficult. With a browser, however, you can pretty much dabble and dip as desired without relying others to do the same. I agree that Google can fail, I'm just saying I think the browser space is one are I think they can and will thrive. And I'm definitely not arguing that they're a contender now; they're way too early for that (they must have plugins to even compete). This is a prediction for like 6-12 months from now.

I did use the migration tool for two accounts --> coming from GMail. I didn't have to pull out of Courier-IMAP because I had everything backed up in GMail. :)

Yep, just pay the upgrade fee and give it your GMail account information. It'll pull it over automatically.

If anyone's wondering, yes...there are downsides. First, I enjoy running my own server. Second, it's definitely putting a lot of trust into Google. I can get over the second one pretty easily, but I'm going to seriously miss running and tweaking Postfix.

I might even find a way to work Postfix into the mix somehow -- especially if this solution doesn't stop as much spam as I was able to with my custom solution.

He's invited me to reconsider my position on personal morality. I've always thought that you had to believe you were doing pure evil for it to truly count against you. I'm moving away from that position now. More on that later.
