Mozilla Adding Spam Filters
ksheka writes "Mozilla mail now has Spam Filters, using Bayesian filtering method, no less. This is a very good thing, because it learns from the spam you receive, and constantly modifies itself, based on new spammer techniques!"
lets see if the moderators can keep up with my new method of first posting... spacing out words seems like the de facto standard of all the spam that gets through my filters....

Compile Mozilla from scratch, and you'll see that you can custom tailor the build and cut out a lot of cruft. Of course, if you just want the browser, go for Phoenix, but really compiling on your own puts you in the drivers seat and optimize it to your own needs.
The problem here is that binary distributions package it all together, so the result is the full-fledged Mozilla. Before you Gentoo zealots get out here and plug your so-loved-distro, remember that even you don't have as much control as you could.
Basically, my point is that all these features are a Good Thing, and that complaining about the bloat is silly, since it can be custom tailored to fit your needs.

HYDERABAD, India (Reuters) - An eight-foot tall condom greeted Microsoft chairman Bill Gates Thursday during a visit to an Indian city, a tribute to mark his generosity in fighting AIDS.
The world's richest man smiled when he saw the giant air-filled condom in India's rising technology hub of Hyderabad, where his company has opened its first software development center outside the United States.
The billionaire inaugurated his four-day visit to India on Monday by announcing $100 million in contributions from his charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to spread awareness on AIDS.
India has four million people with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, making it the second largest number in the world after South Africa.
I know that M$ has played an underhanded trick by building IE into the OS, but it works fast. I know a lot of companies that write IE specific webpages. Mozilla is a good competitior, but it still has a lot of catching up to do. The load time is the first thing that needs to improve.

By default, Phoenix has popup blocking, and IMHO makes the internet experience better. If popups are so "good", let /. itself start using them...

Face it. It's funny. Unfortunately it's a kind of funny that generates a knee-jerk reaction in those who don't get the joke . (kinda like 'Buffy'). The troll aspect of this joke is a necessary component of the joke. If you think that the parent is a troll, I'd suggest that you just let it be and presume that you just didn't get the joke. (Either that, or just stop and try to think of it as funny.)
OS Software is like love: The best way to make it grow is to give it away.
