Use spamassassin + bayesian filters, train it on that account and your other accounts will be virtually spam free! The main problem with spam is that the rules cannot be updated as quickly as the spam, that's where bayesian learning comes in - but as the name says, it needs to learn before it can provide good filtering. With an account like this one, you should be up to date with all the latest spam text instantly. I envy you!
even though the sticky question of "open source" licenses was not fully resolved. Right, it sure isn't resolved at all!
"..work group server developers interested in receiving interoperability information from Microsoft will be able to develop and sell their products on a global basis.." Major problem with this: this is at cost, and with objectionable terms.
Now I know it has been rumored & seriously considered here before but I just can't believe it has happened! Hell, even I am considering paying for an OSX license, now that I don't have to pay Apple hardware prices.
is that Intel feels the need to issue a press release about *not having any new DRM in there, look a few years back and the news would have been about the presence of new DRM... times they are changing, for the better.
I agree, there are also some problems with openssl using the wrong method for guessing which architecture it is running on, which means you can't compile it under UML 32 bit guest on a 64 bit host (it tries to build it for 64bit guest). That forces me to use a linux32 chroot and take the virtual machines down for the upgrade (at least until the fake/proc filesystem is restored in 2.6 uml), not nice!
I agree, he has come up with some very interresting bugs in the past. It is just that this one is not one of them.
It is a shame to see that this bug prompted the immediate release of a new 2.6.11.x stable series patch, when other real bugs did not and took over 10 days from discovery to patching. (see latest.11)...
I don't think that the new and improved stable release system is working perfectly yet.
"the definition of technical contribution in the directive is "ambiguous and too liberal", the UKPO said."
I am glad they listened to what most of us told them (well the lawyers seemed to have a different opinion on this, but eh..) - I was at one of the London workshops.
"If an opportunity arises to discuss amendments to the directive, it is worth considering that there may be an advantage in changing the definition of technical contribution," said Probert.
Translates to: don't hold your breath! It is going to be extremely difficult to change the text without new voting arrangements and with France rejecting the new constitution about 1 hour ago, we are unlikely to see that either - not soon anyway.
No they are not! SiI 3114 did really well and it is cheap.
Never mind all these other posts claiming that SCSI beats the crap out of everything else, it does not!
SCSI is bloody expensive and only marginally faster in these benchmarks. Now, unless fast disk access is the only way to improve your systems performance, you are probably better off using SiI 3114 and having many more of those.
Now that does not cover issues like hotswap support, noise, MTBF, etc...
But still it was an interresting read (albeit in Norwegian..)
maybe they are just up to their old tricks, kinda what they did to sybase: sure we can co-operate on a new integrated database for windows... and later on walk off with the code.
Except that I can't see how that would work as long as we stick with the GPL. Maybe that's what they want to discuss, that we replace the GPL by shared source, what a great idea.
since they run a few of their own sites (or at least they used to) through akamai's proxy servers (running Linux) I wonder if they give these sites an exemption? Because let's face it, if detecting apache is -1 point, detecting Linux is probably -10...
Although I agree with the parent statement (political parties do not help democracy), we tend to forget that some of these same Founding Fathers had slaves. Just because they were quite clued up for their time, does not mean that everything they ever said or done was perfect and does not need to evolve with time..
My point is that we should look ahead, not fall back on the bible or the founding fathers everytime something difficult comes up.

It is much better to use a scripting/page language that allows your server to generate a page adapted to each client's abilities: the interface can remain rich *and* optimised for various formats.
And you can achieve a lot simply by using thicker client side (script or other), re-usable style sheets, etc
if you can cope with them, they're OK for the occasional typing, seriously, I got one and was pleasantly surprised by how well you can feel the keys click when pressed.
I wouldn't use it as my main keyboard, but I guess it depends how much they use it and how important it is to have it germ free...
they work, generally, but I wouldn't trust them for this kind of job.
they need external power source and in my experience they tend to be a lot more picky when handling deffective drives (which is what your RMAed drives are, right?).
Just a plain old ide card/mb with a removable caddy tray will do just fine.
interresting how the whole "trusted computing" FUD campaign has had an impact on the perception of security (large increase for MS), whereas in the real world their crapware is still as insecure as it ever was.

"Developer Kit, which includes 3.6GHz Pentium 4. OS X 10.4.1 for Intel"
AMD has the lead on the 64bit x86 line,
why go with the p4? (at least it is not itanic!)
I didn't say "no DRM" but "no new DRM". Replace new by unannouced if you want to - the statement remains valid.
is that Intel feels the need to issue a press release about *not having any new DRM in there, look a few years back and the news would have been about the presence of new DRM... times they are changing, for the better.
let's not forget that,
Japan is a leading car manufacturer (especially when it comes to "green" vehicles) so this would also benefit their economy.
Grab yourself a dead bargain
I decided to underclock some 1U systems (~XP 2500) to ensure that they would never overheat (longevity was more important than performance).
It works perfectly: a drop of 20% in core clockspeed greatly reduced the heat output, the core temperature dropped by almost 10 degrees C.

it is about abusing the license

Am I the only one to find the words "indiscriminate redistribution" and "broadcast flag" difficult to use in the same sentence.
Are they being ironic or what?

Mod up!
Couldn't agree more!
2) More than just "on/off", Gee, who would have thought about that.
Oh, I forgot, the paper trail has gone cold. Never mind.
