    Hmmm.This is an interesting point that I have not thought about. In an scenario where public keys are published somewhere and the encryption is mailclient->mailclient server side filtering and spam filterint in particular would not work anymore.

  5. Full Text Index on IMAP server on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    What interest me is an IMAP server which can FTI the mail contained within. IMAP seraches are conducted on the server, not the client so an FTI on the client is not very useful. Any ideas?

    Yeah, the speech synth really interests me. Currently we are running critical and informational events through a combination of mbrola and festival, which is quite good but that voice is really nice!

    Purely out of interest, what are the chances (in percentage) that the average sample of, say 1 kg of earth based sedinmentary rock would have fossils in it?

    So if you go to a doctor (who is an expert on medicine) with a headach,e he gives you vial of medicine, you drink it and promptly dfrop dead because it was cyanide was it your fault for drinking it in the first place?

    This is a difficult borderline grey area thing.

    Thats the same reason that cats can fall from higher elevations than humans without getting hurt and you can drop an insect from anywhere and it will not die when it hits ground. An elephant can die from a 1 meter fall.

    Oh yeah, Peter Henderson. That paper is a classic but more because it was the first project to do a lot fo the work on lazy streams and IO. That and a old paper by Kahn which dates from 1972. Noweadays that approach is pretty much dead, Monads have taken over everything.

    Let me see, changing the process about how galaxy clusters (which are extremely complex phenomena) are LESS disturbing than bringing in multiple forms of unexplanied forms of basic substances and forces into our fundamental model of the universe?

    I would like to add and expand to the question because I have exactly the same problem. Everyone always repeats the isync mantra.

    Howeever, the reality is that I (and I suspect the poster) do not have a Mac. So is there an equivalent for Windows? In particular a program that speaks syncml, that runs on windows, over bluetooth and syncs with Mozilla's address book?

    On Linux?

    On my T610 at least when you install the software the part that syncs with those programs has $ signs in front of it and takes you to an ecommerce site.

    90% of the code nowadays have much more to do with the speed of the network between the database or another server and no assembler will really improve that. Algorithms, Caches, yes.

    In the 1980's an OS was written in a lazy functional language which used lazy streams for I/O.

    The only compromise with regards to referential transparency was use of the McCarthy amb operator.
