You would think that slashcode would have implemented a HTML validator and spellchecker by now just by the sheer amount of times/. gets egg on their face from stupid crap like this.
I already found the way to remove 90% of my spam. I just send mail from the following domains to a temp folder:
aol.com
excite.com (dead now, probably a good thing)
hotmail.com
lycos.com
mail.com
safe-mail.net
yahoo.co.uk
yahoo.com
I have a special list of people that are explicitly allowed. I expect to see more filters like this in the future, especially for domains that are known offenders.
Good software (usually open source) usually won't die if the founder forgets about it. The fact is that most software can be replaced with something else (however difficult that may be) if development stops.

This guy explained it better than I could, and had more insight to the nightly builds. I'll just assume that someone overlooked this in the nightly build that I have 2001112003.
I don't know why it would be different in the nightly than it is in 0.9.6, but I am not claiming this as fact simply to be belligerent.

Adult entertainment site playboy.com was found hacked in it's server this weekend. Even if you haven't bought a membership, you may still want to check your credit card for unusual charges.
All the comments mention are x-10 and better quality cables. Perhaps I
should have been more specific and asked where I could get a good quality
home FM transmitter.
I really don't want more wires, and I don't want to have to adapt every
radio in my house to techno-spec hardware of the week. I hope you
understand.
I'll take my chances and post this in the next story and see if anyone
replies before it gets modded offtopic.

Have you ever cruised around sourceforge.net? Notice how many projects are in a perpetual "Planning" stage? I'd rather wait and possibly have 2-3 groups race each other than to have one group lose interest.
Not only that, but whoever hacks the X-Box risks the legal wrath of Microsoft. Now what could be more exciting?
For the record, I won't even be buying an X-Box. This could change if someone ports linux to it though.
Or maybe I should just redirect the domain to/. for the hell of it.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying...
I originally bought the domain with the intention of making a parody/satire site spoofing Microsoft and Linux, but I don't have time to do YET ANOTHER PROJECT.
Moving down the list of things to do with it... I am not a kernel hacker, just a surly PHP coder. I don't forsee myself hacking the X-Box anytime soon. So the next viable option was to just give it away (or sell it to some crackhead domain squatter who will throw pop-under ads all over it, no thanks).
I have it, and I'm giving it away, please enlighten me how it could be any easier than that.

I guess journals are much more important.
I can use my quantum computer with quantum decryption to crack it. duh.

It asks for it regardless of whether is declared or not.
Only if you actually bookmark the site. That's why I'm saying that stats will be skewed. Most programs interpret a GET favicon.ico == 'bookmark'
on every first page visit to a site it requests favicon.ico
I wonder how long until all the stats programmers out there figure out why bookmarked visits spiked in December?

Now that I think of it...
Build an app... out of many languages, using a single common interface, and using a file to save data preferences. It's fuckin' Microsoft(TM).
You know in the real world, I expect my app to work properly when I "try it all at once".
I would go mad just writing a common error api in each language.
