Re:Too bad we can't use it
Linking mailto:martinalderson@gmail.com is just evil. What would happen if some spam bot was trawling Slashdot, looking for email addresses just like mailto:martinalderson@gmail.com?

What's Google-like?
This is something I've been wondering ever since I fired up my Gmail account. The "magical" Gmail search function is really just a plain fulltext search. The entirety of Google's distiction and inventiveness is centered around a single conceit, PageRank. It's a good algorithm and it works well, but it's usefulness may wear thin now that Google is considered the One Search Engine and there is an entire cottage industry devoted to gaming it. And since PageRank doesn't map particularly well to either email or filesystem structures, I'm hard-pressed to see why a Google-like is the distinction to which everyone aspires. I guess because it made their owners millionaires

Not the Web Browser, no.
The "browser" of today is designed to handle a number of simple interactive tasks. Web forms and Flash and JavaScript and so on are all there for one reason: to take the Web from being a set of hyperlinked documents to being a set of zero install cost applications.
Using just a browser, you can participate in a forum, you can play games, you can read email , go shopping or bid in an auction. Are those Web pages, or are those applications delivered via a browser?
Unfortunately, Internet Explorer is holding us all back. It's got us stuck in a technology rut, where existing standards are corrupted and future standards are stillborn. Progress cannot be made, and we're left with the cruft of the last browser war. Web developers want the new features of WebForms 2.0, XHTML, XSLT, and CSS, but have to target the current user base: IE5/6. Users, of course, never see anything but what the web developers produce, and that works fine in IE5/6. It's a lock-in.
So what you're asking here is impossible. The web browser is already an applications platform, and there are already hundreds of thousands of applications targetting that platform. You used one when you posted your comment, but I didn't see you complain, or insist that slashdot isn't a web site. New standards are an evolution, not a revolution. We have Web applications today, but the Web apps of tomorrow could be so very much better, if only Microsoft weren't in the way.

Re:why?
I've written small servers in java before, and they always got really unreliable after about 2-3 days of running. If I restarted the program, it'd work fine
Then you did something wrong. There's nothing inherent in Java that causes it to be unstable. It's possible you were leaking threads or objects in your program, and that's what caused you problems. I can almost guarantee that you'll run into the same issue with a server written in any other language. C/C++ would be particularly bad, because memory can leak in ways that are nearly undetectable.
If you have an example of a small server, feel free to mail it to me. I'll take a look at it and see if I can spot the problem.
anyway, I need something to search through my logs faster. I'm getting tired of having to jump to the console and do a "cat * | grep what I am looking for"
When you've got 75MB of chat logs in thousands of files, that can take a bit of time.
Fair enough. I still think SQL Server is an overkill, but to each their own. In case you're interestedd, here's a small SQL engine that can be easily embedded into your program.

Yaay KDE!From the accountment page, KWin got a button for always on top, Juk can now burn audio CDs, and Kopete can transfer files. e.g. features that I've really been wishing for (amongst many more)...
Guess I've got some downloading to do, eh? Which comes to a gripe - it's a real pain in the arse to download all the seperate files and install them. Sure would be nice if the KDE team wrote an "update" script that would check for updates and optionally download/install them. PS. Anyone want a gmail invite? mail me.. [only one left!]

Congratulations on your FROSTY PISS.

And for weblogs...
There's a very interesting post on kottke.org that discusses online applications in relation to weblogs. I quote:
Taking the weblog example to the extreme, you could use TypePad to write a weblog entry; Flickr to store your photos; store some mp3s (for an mp3 blog) on your ISP-hosted shell account; your events calendar on Upcoming; use iCal to update your personal calendar (which is then stored on your
transform/aggregate/filter it all, and publish it to your Web space; and you manage all this on the Web at each individual Web site or with a Watson-ish desktop client. -

stress testing conversations
I've done a little bit of my own stress testing. However, I've done it a little bit different. I wanted to see how Gmail handled huge conversations. I e-mailed my brother and we spammed each other back and forth in the same thread, seeing if we could influence the Ads. After a while we started adding more people to the conversation (our current test thread has nine people). We started out by hitting Reply All and saving the quotes from the previous e-mail. It became a huge list of >>> near the bottom and eventually Gmail clipped the messages. After a few hundred replies, opening the thread became slower and slower. When it reached 426 replies, it took me a week to finally get into it. With that I made one last reply and closed the thread. Hey, just out of curiosity, I opened the thread now and it loaded pretty easily. I wonder if they have optimized their behind the scenes engine to make it faster for large conversations. Maybe I'll continue the thread. Also, if you want to be part of the new test thread, just send an e-mail to adpowers@gmail.com.
Anyway, here is my Gmail stress test.
Also, you'll notice I have a few mailing lists on the side. I only read the Freenet one, but I subscribed to the Linux Kernel list and some others because I know them to be high traffic. Gmail is pretty impressive and they seem to be optimizing it even more. -
Re:Next step, try the spam filters
I propose testing Gmail's spam filters next: disseminate your Gmail addy to porn sites
Well, let's use page rank by linking his address to the words pornography and free porn!
Problem solved. Mod me up folks, we'll turn google against itself! -

'Quiet Period' not very quiet...Despite their "quiet period", Google have been busy making all sorts of announcements over the recent months, no doubt to bolster their valuation before the IPO. Moving into email with Gmail, entering the world of digital photos with Picasa, adding a new adsense for search program, and improving their corporate search appliance.
They may also start leveraging the success of popular services that use their Web APIs , such as Google Alert and Copyscape , particularly with the commercialization of Google Alert. Positioning themselves as a general technology platform for the web is surely a step in the right direction to further raising their valuation.
Will be interesting to see how quiet they stay from now till the actual IPO...

Well
You could just open a couple dozen Gmail accounts.

Re:Repeat after meAmerica is not the centre of the world. Diversity is ok. Multi-culturalism is ok
Multi-culturalism is okay? Even here in the USA? Guess it was a little hard to tell what with all of the blacks, hispanics, asians, arabs, and other nationalities running around. We have no problem with multi-culturalism. But that isn't even what this issue is about...
The Americans aren't demanding that everyone speak *American English*. They are simply wanting people to speak *English* The language wasn't invented by nor is it owned by the Americans. Is their demand wrong? I don't think so being that a good amount of the entire *worlds* communication happens in English every day AND seeing that the company that owns Orkut is an *American* company.

ANNs, Artificial Neural Networks
Neural networks, are basically many interconnected neurons, which are mathematical functions performing a weighted sum of the inputs and delivering an output through a non-linear transfer function. They are used in a research oroject I have worked on to determine data patterns in 'electronic noses'.
Link for info here
Personally, i think this article is very full of buzzwords, but using ANNs to pick out spam is very possible and would return an excellent catch rate, especially if the data collected from being 'trained' could be collected and refined for making better networks.
I'm not sure how 'up for it' home end-users would be, it may take a lof of hardware to run (we use a shit load of Xserves, but maybe thats overkill).
It could be great for actual mail servers, like gmail for example. -
