Network Associates Aquires Deersoft Inc.

Duncan Findlay writes "Network Associates Inc. has just acquired Deersoft, Inc., which is known by many as the creator of SpamAssassin Pro, the proprietary (Windows) version of the GPL/PAL licensed SpamAssassin (Mirrors: Eastern US, Europe). It seems that we may see parts of SpamAssassin under the McAfee name within 6 months. You can also read the story at Yahoo or at Reuters. Unfortunately, the SpamAssassin trademark was owned by Deersoft, so hypothetically, NAI could force us to call the Open Source project something else!"

Weakest link by vandel405 · 2003-01-06 22:10 · Score: 0, Offtopic

So i just watched the weakest link college edition and this idiot from mich state deerborn wins. He's a pol sci major, and when asked 'What body of congress is composed of 100 members' he answered 'The House Of Representatives'.... Then at the end he bragged that his school was the best and that is why he won, and he's taking it home to them. I bet the pol sci department is proud...
