Sendmail On IBM Mainframes Running GNU/Linux

raffe writes: "Cnet reports that Sendmail has released a version of its e-mail server software that can run on Linux-powered IBM mainframe computers. In one benchmark test, IBM found that it was possible to house 2 million e-mail accounts on a single server, with 10 percent of the users accessing their mail at any given moment" For some reason though, IBM zSeries machines aren't listed at pricewatch ;)

GNU/Linux??

Maybe I've been smoking too much crack, but I though CmdrTaco stated one short week ago that Linux should not be referred to as GNU/Linux?

Fuck the lameness filter, here's something really lame, courtesey of Slash:

# interpolative hash ref. Got these figures by testing out
# several paragraphs of text and saw how each compressed
# the key is the ratio it should compress, the array lower,upper
# for the ratio. These ratios are _very_ conservative
# a comment has to be absolute shit to trip this off
if (!$bad) {
my $limits = {
1.3 => [10,19],
1.1 => [20,29],
.8 => [30,44],
.5 => [45,99],
.4 => [100,199],
.3 => [200,299],
.2 => [300,399],
.1 => [400,1000000],
};

# Ok, one list ditch effort to skew out the trolls!
if (length($$comm) >= 10) {
for (keys %$limits) {
# DEBUG
# print "ratio $_ lower $limits->{$_}->[0] upper $limits->{$_}->[1]<br>\n";
# if it's within lower to upper
if (length($$comm) >= $limits->{$_}->[0] &&
length($$comm) <= $limits->{$_}->[1]) {

# if is >= the ratio, then it's most likely a
# troll comment
if ((length(compress($$comm)) /
length($$comm)) <= $_) {

# blammo luser
$$error_message = slashDisplay('errors', {
type => 'compress filter',
ratio => $_,
}, 1);
editComment('', $$error_message), return unless $preview;
$bad = 1;
last;
}

}
}
}
}

"GNU/Linux"???
