    Rottenflesh ain't bad either as a Freshmeat parody.

    Because this project is painfully insightful.

    Also check out rotten flesh, a parody of freshmeat, driven by the same engine as the postmodernist writing generator.

    I can't believe it, Rottenflesh really is indestinguishable from Freshmeat

    Here's an example (can you tell which it's from?):

    About: GLiv is an OpenGL image viewer. It performs image loading via Gdk-pixbuf (which is bundled with GTK+-2.2) and rendering with OpenGL. The graphical user interface uses GTK+ with GtkGLExt. If Gdk-pixbuf cannot load your image, it uses ImageMagick to convert it to PNG. GLiv is very fast and smooth at rotating, panning, and zooming if you have an OpenGL accelerated graphics board.

    Changes: A Russian translation has been added, and the Brazilian Portuguese translation has been updated. The progress is now shown when rebuilding the images menus. The slide show can now loop in both directions. ImageMagick loading is now more robust. Slide shows with only two images are now faster.

    I think that's what his point is, that anyone can put something up on SourceForge.net or freshmeat, even if it's been done 384 times before.

    The parody rottenflesh.net is indistinguishable from the real freshmeat. It also stays crunchy in milk.

    I'm sick and tired of 0.x versions or the upgrade from release version 3.23.609 to 3.23.718c because the menu choice Options was rephrased as Settings.

    Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

    The trees should be pruned, or why not a peer-review ranking system? Reciprocal altruism, yadayada.

    BTW, what's with all these slashdot server errors?????
    I heard it's because they use open source.

    It's too bad that SA is ranking the Bayes score so low. You can, in 2.43, craft a message with a very negative score, even with a fairly spammy body. Take a look at this carefully crafted message

    the body was taken from a spam I got (about DVDs) and the headers and footers were crafted by looking at SA 2.43's tests. The result?

    X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-21.5 required=5.0

    your two-point hit from Bayes won't do anything... (and heck, looking at the message there must have been a bunch of tests that failed to trigger because lines that should have been in the header ended up in the body)
