  1. Re:Pardon my scepticism on Why UNIX is better than Windows... By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It's actually documented- G. Pascal Zachary claims that David Cutler introduced the phrase to MS when he led the development of Windows NT.

  2. What's the point? on SpamArchive.org Launched · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What's the point of testing a filter against a database of known spam if you can't test it against a database of nonspam?

    Anybody can write a filter for bulk mail. How do you differentiate between solicited and unsolicited bulk mail?

  3. Red Sox have won the World Series five times. on The Chronoliths · · Score: 1

    Heck, even the Boston Braves won it in 1914.

  4. Re:Spam Assassin on Anti-Spammers Wage E-War · · Score: 1


    Unfortunately, if you receive a message from a free mailing list service such as Topica or Server.com, then the in-line text ad will trigger Spam Assassin.

  5. This article makes no sense on The Music Biz Is the New Book Industry · · Score: 1

    Mr. Wolff is arguing that for the past twenty years people have been replacing their vinyl copies of Thriller, Nevermind and Celebrity with CDs? Publishers are selling fewer books? Hemingway and Mailer outsold King, Clancy and Rowley?

    I think that Mr. Wolff is commenting more on the fact that his hometown of New York City has lost the title of cultural capital of the world to LA where they don't write books. They write screenplays.

  6. Re:What about collaboration software? on The Myth of the Paperless Office · · Score: 1

    When I was a sysadmin at Apple back in '92, we used a document collaboration product from On Technology (the name of the software escapes me). It was great! I would write procedure documents and anyone in the office could annotate the docs with questions or corrections. Unfortunately, it appears that On Tech no longer offers the product.

  7. I think Newshub is better on Computers Summarize the News · · Score: 3, Interesting

    http://newshub.com/

  8. Re:Gateway had this idea several years ago on Future Trends In Home Computing · · Score: 1


    Would any of you Gateway guys be willing to visit http://disc.server.com/Indices/136505.html and answer some of the tougher Destination questions?

  9. Re:Crass American Commercialism. on Making Banner Ads Suck Less · · Score: 1

    So, how do you account for Picadilly Circus?

  10. Will Google create their own Groups service? on Google Acquires Deja · · Score: 1

    I notice that the service will be called Groups.google.com. Does this mean that Google will revive Deja's build your own newsgroup feature and then compete with Groups.yahoo.com?
