Denial

Denial, in ordinary English usage, is asserting that a statement or allegation is not true. The same word, and also abnegation (German: Verneinung), is used for a psychological defense mechanism postulated by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. An individual that exhibits such behaviour is described as a denialist or true believer. Denial also could mean denying the happening of an event or the reliability of information, which can lead to a feeling of aloofness and to the ignoring of possibly beneficial information.

VoIP spam

VoIP spam or SPIT (Spam over Internet Telephony) are bulk unsolicited, automatically dialled, pre-recorded phone calls using the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Telephone spam is comparable to E-mail spam, but due to its synchronous character, different mitigation methods are needed.

Voice over IP systems, like e-mail and other Internet applications, are susceptible to abuse by malicious parties who initiate unsolicited and unwanted communications. Telemarketers, prank callers, and other telephone system abusers are likely to target VoIP systems increasingly, particularly if VoIP supplants conventional telephony. The VoIP technology provides convenient tools (e.g. Asterisk and SIPp) and low-priced possibilities to place a large number of Spam calls.

The underlying technology driving this threat is Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This technology has received significant support from most major telecommunication vendors, and is showing signs of becoming the industry standard for voice, video and other interactive forms of communication such as instant messaging and gaming.

Spit (album)

Spit is the debut album by the heavy metal band Kittie. Produced by Garth Richardson, the album was released on January 11, 2000 by Artemis Records.

Background

Kittie was formed in 1996 when drummer Mercedes Lander and guitarist Fallon Bowman met in gym class. Mercedes' sister Morgan Lander became the lead vocalist and guitarist after weeks of Fallon and Mercedes jamming. Tanya Candler completed the lineup by joining as the bassist. Kittie created demos and began playing gigs in 1998. Kittie played gigs at Call the Office and The Embassy and signed up for Canadian Music Week in 1999. The band approached Jake Weiner, a person who was second in command at NG Records. Kittie made him see them play live and Weiner and the rest of NG Records signed Kittie in the summer of 1999. Kittie got signed to the NG Records-distributed record label Artemis Records and producer Garth Richardson obtained Kittie's demo. NG Records was bought out by Artemis Records. Thus, Kittie ended up on Artemis Records.
