McAfee Granted Far-Reaching Spam-Control Patent
Titusdot Groan writes "Infoworld is reporting that Network Associates, makers of McAfee, have been granted a broad anti-spam patent. The patent covers "compound filters, paragraph hashing, and Bayes rules" and was filed in December of 2002. The patent appears to affect Spam Assassin, Spam Bayes and many other anti-spam products and services. As an aside Paul Graham's "A Plan for Spam" was published August 2002."
To most, all that matters is the illusion of freedom.
Completely off topic, but It's called *flatware*, tableware, or silverware (if it's silver). Cutlery only really applies to knives of various sorts, and sometimes, by extension, accessories thereto - for example, the large fork that comes with a carving knife set. But properly speaking, the spoon and fork that form part of a table setting are not cutlery, but flatware.
It has always been. Face it.
Digress from all the brainwash.
Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe, I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone

I think it's funny to watch people exercising their right to speech talking about how un-free they are...
Exactly how are you no longer "free?"
