The school has not very much interest in the web design field. Probably it's
due to a traditional approach by the most important teachers in the school.
Into multimedia courses students prefer to attend 3D and/or video editing

I live in Varese, a small town near the Switzerland, therefore there are not
very much job opportunities into this kind of field.
Milano is considered the most important italian city for design and fashion
agencies. Anyway since the beginning of the new millenium I noticed that job
offerings in these kind of fields have decreased dramatically.
The recession effects are more evident for those involved into web design.
In Italy there are very little opportunities nowaday because from small
sized companies to big corporations, very few managers are aware of the
importance of online services.
Often, middle sized companies are present over the web with a static website
only. They think about their web pages as they would think about a printed
brochure. In addition, potential italian customers are not inclined to use
the web to do money transactions or for reservations, at least not as
american people do.
I think that most of the jobs in the web design field come from website
redesign and/or dynamic website development.
Unfortunately, In Italy at the moment is very hard to find these kind of
jobs, especially for a freelance...

Check the headers, you are responding to a know spammer named
ArtistMike that has its posting privs blocked from SN. It seems to
have issues with the fact that they will not let it spam through their
service and they block any post with its spam sig in it. Which is why
it must use socks and frogs. But it always drops its spam sig when
doing so in compliance with what SN has decreed.

But this is way too frustrating. And there is no reason on earth that it should be. None I am at a complete loss. |
There should be an online form that you could fill out with the data needed
to start the newsgroup -- and then the needed "control message" would be
generated -- then either posted for you, or you could post it yourself.
But they don't do that do they. Supernews does not want to make it easy to
make newsgroups. That is just more work for them ... more newsgroups that
they have to make room for.
So naturally they don't make it easy.

I am the original poster of some of the messages to the Supernews tech
support newsgroup you've been clipping and cross posting.
SN tech support and I been talking about files that were missing on
July 5 and possibly one other day. The conversation has been going on
for a few days.
I can catagorically state that Supernews has not experienced anywhere
near a full week of missing files. AFAIK, SN has had this problem
roughly once a month for the past few months.
I found that the fact that SN doesn't have an automated system of
tracking the number of incomplete files, and the fact that they didn't
seem to know how to find incomplete files after being given the name
of the newsgroup was very disturbing to me.
The fact that the files are _still_ incomplete is also disturbing.
You'd think that after being alerted to the problem, SN could initiate
a part of their system that would go out and get the missing parts.
That's what I did manually by going to Big Gulp, I don't see any
reason why SN couldn't have done the same automatically.
At the very bottom of this post, I've attached the full text of the
post l uploaded to the SN support newsgroup. I included more than
just the part that complained about SN, which is what you did. I also
included the other half of my post that put the current Supernews
problem into perspective.
Supernews apparently has some ongoing problems but they're not huge
chronic problems like what AstraWeb seems to have, nor are the
problems occurring every day. There's absolutely nothing wrong with
publicizing those problems, it can only motivate SN to improve their
system. But exaggerating those problems and only cross posting half of
the posts to the support group isn't accurate and being inaccurate
probably isn't going to help.
You may have noticed that one set of the incomplete files I listed
ended up complete, something the SN tech obliquely mentioned.. That
happens sometimes, there can be propagation lag. I acknowledged my
error and then doubled checked the other incomplete files I listed,
which were still incomplete, a result I reported.
I program large embedded systems and I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT when users
send in inaccurate, incomplete or exaggerated bug reports. I try hard
not to do that, even though I accidently did. But I acknowledged my
error, posted a correction and reconfirmed the information in my
earlier bug report. I only wish all users did the same.

Original and complete post follows:
While checking out ab.warez.ibm-pc, it occurred to me that the
quickest and easiest way to check for incomplete files in any
arbitrary newsgroup is to run two copies of Agent on a 20" monitor.
Point both instances of Agent at the same newsgroup but on two
different nntp servers, one at SN and the other at Big Gulp or any

the header list. Agent will show which files are incomplete on SN and
you'll instantly see the status of those files on the alternate nntp
server.
I just did that (BG only has 4 days retention though) and, apart from
a few minutes to download all the headers, it just took a few tens of
seconds to see the differences.
BTW, I've been using SN since January and the service has been very
good.
I've always regarded BG as the gold standard for completeness though
but the differences between the two systems isn't very much. IIRC, SN
has problems with incomplete files about once every month or so and in
every instance except one, the files were either identically
incomplete on BG, indicating a problem with the source upload, or
they were complete on BG, indicating a problem with SN. Recently it
seems BG had a problem with a full disk and the first 3/4 of CD1 of
the Seymore Butts upload were entirely missing from BG.

I suspect that all nsps know how to do this. In fact several years ago I
posted a technique and I don't believe that any nsp said it would not
work. The issue is impact to the servers involved. With the latest
uptick on the feeds, I suspect that this extra workload could be a
problem.
There is one nsp that will do back fills for missing articles when a user
makes a request. So, we know that some admins will take the time to do
this. It's not one of the pricey nsps either. There may be more, but
I'm not aware of them.

That's a good point. I hope a rep from an NSP will write a comment as
to why they don't do this as a matter of course.
Actually, what I wrote, that the incomplete files on Supernews only
occurred on one day was incorrect. The problem only occured for a few
hours (less than 6 hours, IIRC), not for an entire day.
The missing parts added up to about 1M out of a total of about 1G of
uploaded files. So extrapolating out to the 1 TB/day daily feed, that
meant that SN might have lost about 1G of data. I'm not sure if that
kind of extra load on the NSP servers or incoming bandwidth is a
practical problem, hopefully someone from an NSP will tell us.
It's ok to change your name... really.

Stop changing your email address or Supernews will give you an ass kicking that you will never forget. This is a fight that you can not win. Stop morphing your From: line or face the consequences. PLONK!! BOZOS, if Al doesn't follow my orders, send complaints to [Email Removed] and be sure to include his entire post, including all headers. Well, it took a couple of days but here is the bottom line. Our legal folks got in touch with the Supernews legal folks. Supernews is owned by Critical Path which located in San Francisco not far from us. They do not have anything in the TOS about prohibiting clients from changing their e-mail address or name. Critical Path knows they cannot enforce this and they say it makes no sense to even try. People change (what is termed as morph) their name and address for all sorts of reasons and it is not an area that C.P. wants to get into... mainly because there is no reason to. The "Andrew" that was quoted above is either no longer with the company or does not speak for the company when it comes to legal interpretation of their policy. C.P. was not sure who the "Andrew" was but they said that the statement attributed to him was not operative. After reviewing a number of similar issues, what it comes down to is that people are and always have been free to change their email address and their name at their own discretion. While some say that "morphing" to obfuscate one's true identity could be an issue with some ISPs it has never been an issue when the actual identity of the poster is easily discerned. So we don't know what Netcop is talking about when he/she claims that this is somehow against any TOS. There is no requirement that Usenet users employ the same name and/or email address with respect to Supernews, Critical Path or any other provider that we could find (although our search was not exhaustive.) We corresponded with several people we consider "experts" on Usenet and to a person they said that when users are NOT employing an anon. re-mail service and/or they are NOT trying to obfuscate their identity, changing from one format of a name (say IBM, Inc. to IBM Corp.) is not considered abuse and that none of the firms that provide Usenet feeds would pursue a complaint about someone changing names or email. So AGAIN, we don't know what "Netcop" is talking about but having done the research we can say with reasonable certainty that it is perfectly permissible for people to change names and return e-mail addresses at will. BOZOS, if Al doesn't follow my orders, We found this phrase to be of particular interest. Exactly where does this person assume the authority that he or she can give "orders" to anyone on this NG or on any other NG? Al, You have been warned. Stop changing your email address or Supernews will give you an ass kicking that you will never forget. Finally, we turned "Netcop's" post over to a consulting company that has a successful record of tracking down and identifying posters like "Netcop." We take threats like the one he/she made seriously as would anyone. If we are able to unmask him/her, we will report back with his/her true identity so that others might feel less intimidated should he/she make this kind of threat to someone else. When you threaten to kick someone ass, you need to make sure that they don't have the resources to kick yours ten times harder. We have those resources. It's one thing for Netcop to post his/her displeasure. We have no problem with that. As a publishing company we are obviously in favor of a free press. But when he/she crosses the line into intimidation, our position moves from one of defense to offense. One cannot negotiate with terrorists... and we won't try. ANC Adams-Blake Company, Inc.

That's a good idea. I will try to use it the next time. I can produce a case
study complete with numbers that pointed them out all the advantages after a
website redesign. Thanks for that Gem!

| potential italian customers are not inclined to use the web to do money transactions or for reservations, at least not as american people do. But one of the advantages of using a web site is you don't necessarily have to be in Italy. The potential customers could be anywhere around the world. This could open up their markets considerably. Include in your proposal all the safeguards you can include to insure maximum security and minimum/no losses. |
I would like a lot to work for a foreign company. I thought to visit the
French Consolate and ask them to give me some advice about this topic. What
do you think? Could it works?

| Unfortunately, In Italy at the moment is very hard to find these kind of jobs, especially for a freelance... Maybe a bit easier with a team or an alliance with a major design firm who's willing to outsource the web stuff to you. A proposal to some agencies selling yourself could be lucrative, too. |
Thanks for your suggestions Gem!

Did anyone of you who are PayPal users get a:
"Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement" email??
Most importantly is it legal and for real??
It says:
1. WHY DID I GET THIS NOTICE?
You have been sent this Notice because the records of PayPal, Inc.
indicate you are a current or former PayPal account holder. This means
you may be eligible to receive a payment from the proposed class action
settlement in the lawsuit In re PayPal Litigation, Case No. 02 1227 JF
PVT, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California in San Jose. This Notice provides a summary of
the terms of the proposed settlement. It also explains the lawsuit, your
legal rights under the settlement, what benefits are available to you
under the settlement, and how to get them.
3. WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT?
In early 2002, Plaintiffs Roberta Toher and Jeffrey Resnick filed
separate lawsuits against PayPal, Inc. These two cases were later
consolidated into one lawsuit in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, entitled In re
PayPal Litigation, Case No. CV 02 01227-JF (PVT). The lawsuit alleges
that PayPal violated the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFTA"),
15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., including provisions requiring PayPal to
supply customers with information about dispute resolution procedures
and to follow certain procedures when investigating complaints of
unauthorized or incorrect electronic fund transfers. For example, the
lawsuit claims that PayPal did not provide account statements in the
manner required by the EFTA. The lawsuit further alleges that PayPal has
placed inappropriate restrictions or other limits on customers' accounts
and engaged in other improper practices. Based on these practices, the
lawsuit asserts claims under California state law for conversion, money
had and received, negligence, and violations of consumer protection
statutes.
PayPal does not believe that it did anything wrong. In fact, PayPal
disputes that the EFTA, originally passed in 1978, applies to its
business. PayPal denies any and all liability for the claims alleged in
the lawsuit. The Court did not decide in favor of the Plaintiffs or
PayPal. Instead, beginning in the fall of 2003, the parties began a
series of settlement negotiation sessions mediated by United States
Magistrate Judge Edward Infante. Eventually, in November 2003, both
sides agreed to a settlement in principle. By settling their claims,
both parties avoided the uncertainty and cost of a trial. The settlement
provides money and other benefits to the Class. On June 11, 2004, the
parties entered into a formal, written Settlement Agreement, which is on
file with the Court and available on the Internet at
https://www.paypal.com/settlement/. By entering into the Settlement
Agreement, PayPal is not admitting any wrongdoing. PayPal continues to
believe that it did not do anything wrong. The Representative Plaintiffs
and the attorneys appointed by the Court to represent the Class believe
that the settlement is fair to Class Members. By this notice, the Court
is not expressing any view on the merits of the lawsuit.
