  2. wait a few weeks on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 2

    In a few weeks bayesian spam filtering will be in Mozilla 1.3 and all this will be moot

  3. Re:Whatever.... on Joe Clark's Answers -- In Valid XHTML · · Score: 2

    I looked at that FAQ and I noticed that the stylesheet lets you do something useful: put the menu at the bottom of the file, something that the interviewee would have solved with ugly "skip menu" links.

    In the page you mentioned keyboard navigation start from the body of the page, not from the left menu. Really cool.

  4. topic? on Mozilla 1.2.1 Released · · Score: 2

    shouldn't this be a mozilla topic rather than news?

  5. Re:Slashcode.com ! on Software for Online Peer-Review Journals? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know I will be moderated down but I would actually advise against slashcode, for several reasons. First you basically need a dedicated machine (I know it's not entirely true, but it's a pain in the ass). Second, installation is a major pain, and almost never works the first time you try it. Third, extensibility, and customization (e.g. internationalization) is limited and hard to implement.

    I recommend going with one of the nuke clones. I have recommended below Xaraya, which is still in development phase. If you want something ready to go, use Postnuke or Envolution. They have hundreds of external modules, can be installed in 10 minutes, are true content management systems (not just a weblog), have internationalization support, full templating, and you can use a provider for less than $10/month.

  6. xaraya on Software for Online Peer-Review Journals? · · Score: 2

    Check out Xaraya, a promising Nuke clone. It's still in development phase but you should be able to take the codebase and extend from there your modules. There are several others nuke cms (phpnuke, postnuke, envolution...). The open source cms development is still in an evolving phase due to repeated forks.

  7. Tarkovsky's Solyaris on Review: Solaris · · Score: 5, Informative

    I guess it must be hard to compete against one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
    Andrei Tarkovsky has made incredible movies that leave undeletable impressions on your mind. Here is the imdb links to Tarkovsky's Solyaris

  8. Expansion card? on Ogg/Vorbis on Palm OS · · Score: 2

    Why does it have to store ogg on the expansion card? I have space on my device, why can't I use it?

  9. Re:Tabbrowser Extensions on Mozilla 1.2 Unleashed · · Score: 2

    You also better check the extensions in multizilla, the original creator of tabbed browsing for mozilla.

    a cool one in 1.3 is Bayesian spam filtering

  11. Re:Mozilla spam filter on Email (As We Know It) Doomed? · · Score: 2

    I think filter do not solve the problem at its base; it only cure the symptom. Spam still get sent, you just don't see them in your inbox.

    There is one point you're missing: if spam filters are effective, then the returns to sending spam are lower. Hence, as you argue, fewer will find it profitable to send it.

  12. false negatives? on Email (As We Know It) Doomed? · · Score: 2

    How about false negatives? I'd be curious to know how much valid mail was filtered out.

  13. Re:Email important? Just get your own domain. on Charging Does Help Yahoo Make A Profit · · Score: 2

    My host is Eur 50/year toss in $8 domain registration and I get 15pop emails with webmail access, web space, and all that crap. Sign up a couple of friends and you recover the $29/year with no privacy hassles, and your own domain.

    An interesting thread to read is here in this mozilla bug

  15. Re:sacrificial lamb on Questioning Extreme Programming · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    If anything, this is another proof that /. moderation system doesn't work. A post/thread with an explanation of what XP is should have been on top of the moderation raknking but I have yet to find one message or link

  16. A dumb idea on Competiton: Mozilla's 200,000th Bug · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard of. The incentive is just to encourage fake bug reporting, with costs rather than benefits, to the whole project.

    A better choice would have been to pick a random winner from valid bugs filed from today until bug 200K.

    It's aready been done in multizilla. Just click on the preference button and on the menu choose "open preferences editor".

  19. Re:Question about typeaheadfind on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 2

    Whilst it's great that stuff like this is being implemented, is anyone actually working on making a point and click interface to active/deactivate functionality rather than having to get users to resort to deleting or editing files?

    Get multizilla. Besides a great tabbing interface, it gives you a quick option button that opens a menu containing "open preference editor", where you can edit all user preferences with a mouse click.

  20. Re:Critical Mass of Lawbreakers on Cringely On Civil Disobedience · · Score: 2
    one guy would get nailed by the highway patrol and the rest would be ignored.


    But then the solution would be to associate and have sort of mutual insurance that compensate the unlucky guy of the 10K fine. Why not do that?

    It's a much better client than morpheus/kazaa, its network size has passed the threshold to be useful.

  23. id does more than that on Tan With Implants Instead Of Sun · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Actually, it has been shown that the drug has unwanted side effects, such increased libido and spontaneous erections in males. Now it's being studied as a viagra-substitute, the problem is to separate this from the tanning effect. An alternative is to market it as the "barbie-pill": tan & sex; add a sprinkle of coke and you have it all.
