  1. Bayesian Filtering on Politicians Seek Spam Loophole · · Score: 2

    I just thought I'd chime in about this sort of spam. If I get one or two of these all the rest will be history. Why? Well, I wrote my own Bayesian filtering program in Java for IMail after seeing the article on it 2 weeks ago. It works amazing, better than I expected, my whole company gets no spam, and we were 4 people who got about 200 spams/email viruses a day (yeah the progrma can filter email viruses too). Anyway, Bayesian filtering is the way of the future, spam would go away overnight if everyone's client or server did this.

  2. Re:The gallery of idiots... on Congress to Ashcroft: Go After Song Swappers · · Score: 2

    Funny how I personally know that Biden himself used napster.

  3. Re:Who shops at circuit city? on Circuit City Phases Out VHS · · Score: 2

    What like Jade Tree or Revalation Records, Touch and Go or Sub Pop? Best Buy has a better selection than my local indie store, even when it comes to indie releases.

  4. Re:pattern recognition? on DARPA Project Babylon: Universal Translator · · Score: 2

    That always was my favorite episode. It was a cool sci-fi idea, and Star Trek usually just pursued such run of the mill generic sci-fi that that episode really suprised me.

  5. Re:One folder to rule them all... on Improving Unix Mail Storage? · · Score: 2

    Try iMail for NT/2000, my company has been using it for about 3 years. Its not perfect, but its pretty good, and it hasn't lost any data yet.

  6. Sounds like Half Life's plot on E3 Doom III Preview · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not to nitpick, but the plot description sounds exactly like half life's plot. An isolate research facility is experimenting with teleportation qhen things go bad and people start turning into zombies. Some members of the upper management have questionable motives...

    I am sure they will go in a bit of a different direction than half life, but hte starting point seems the same.

  7. Re:Institutional incompetence on Oracle Investigation Grows · · Score: 2

    I'd love to see an open source alternative to Oracle. If anything this will make the state gov't seriosuly consider IBM's DB2.

  8. Inflated scores on Gamespot Goes to Subscription Model · · Score: 2

    Great, so we get to see all the 8.5 scores for games, even though the tone of the reviews usually indicate the game should have been like a 6. Ever notice how even a horrible game never goes below 6 or 7 something?

  9. Re:Libertarians take note! on Taxing Sci-Fi Products to Fund NASA? · · Score: 2

    You've never been on the NJ or PA turnpikes have you? Compare them to 95, 295 or 476 (all non-toll roads in those same state) and they are far interior to the tax funded roads.

  10. Re:Every time on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 2

    What a load of bullshit, you can be in and out of IIS in about 30 seconds. The only time you need to go looking for something obscure is when you are changing a setting that actually _is_ obscure. All the common stuff like index files, diretory security, 404's are pretty easy to find under the tabs.

  11. Ugh... on Burrough's Martian Tales Optioned · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    No wonder people dislike sci-fi so much when crap like this gets made into a movie. I mean seriously, its horrendously outdated adventure crap so its just going to be a big special effects extravaganza with no plot. Here we go with another "Scoprion King" or "Tomb Raider"

  12. Re:I don't know about you... on Behind The "Work-At-Home" Street Spam Signs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If only we could get people doing that to the signs all the damn politicians put up around election time.

  13. The Abyss? on Sea Gliders for Other Worlds · · Score: 2

    The concept of using "rotors" (I guess those would by gyroscopes right?) inside the craft as a means of maneuvering reminds me of the alien craft from The Abyss. They had those weird spinning pieces inside them and not much else.

  14. Re:Article Summary... on Star Wars as Pulp Sci-Fi · · Score: 2

    The blue screen problems when Luke was in the Rancor pit in Jabbas Palace are also pretty bad. And they never got fixed either

  15. Re:Dumb..Very Dumb on Reflections on Brilliant Digital: Single Points of 0wnership · · Score: 2

    Yo, that guy isn't talking about killing all white people, just one specific white guy. Whitey, Deluca, his old manager. He wasn't even that white, he was Italian. One of those olive complexion mutha fucekers.

  16. Re:I don't get it.... on EchoStar Asks Supreme Court to Let Unlock Local Channels · · Score: 2

    I assume you were being sarcastic by the last comment? TV has been "imperative" on the federal level since it was first created in the 40s-50s.

  17. Re:wonder if it over heats? on Weirdest Case Mod You've Ever Seen · · Score: 2

    I've known plenty of friends who ran bare pc's with a power supply sitting on a desk and no case for several years with no visits from the FCC. This wouldn't put out any more RF noise than that setup.

  18. Re:Seriously? Mutation? on Thumbs Are the New Fingers for GameBoy Youth · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Thats how wars have been fought for over 100 years. Thats why in WWI and before European nations were no allowed to use certain types of weapons on soldiers (such as "exploding bullets").

  19. Jerry? on US & Russia Show Off New Rocket Designs · · Score: 2

    I am surpised in this politically correct day and age that a German satelliete would be called "Jerry" :) Of course I don't even want to go into what Tom implies.

  20. Re:That's not how optical scanning works on Laser HUD Projected on Retina · · Score: 2

    I remember an old tv my parents had, when you turned it off the beam would center in the middle of the screen and slowly fade over a few minutes. As far as I can tell it was just how the tv operated

  21. Re:It's not dumb. Testing common sense is science! on Rejection Makes You Dumb · · Score: 2

    Actually, at one point the theory was that there were "circles moving within circles" to get the orbits of the planets that were observed. In otherwords, a big circle to get the orbit around the Earth, then a smaller circle fixed on the larger one, like the object was rotating around an imaginary planet. You could just add more layers of circles until you got the orbit to match what astronomers saw. I'm sorry my description doesn't explain it too well.

  22. Re:Not a mini-me Buran, more a carbon-copy X-20 on Russia Unveils Space Shuttle for Tourists · · Score: 2

    Oh, I just remembered the bomber was called the "Amerika Bomber". Can't find any pics on google right now.

  23. Re:Not a mini-me Buran, more a carbon-copy X-20 on Russia Unveils Space Shuttle for Tourists · · Score: 2

    And the Dynasoar was the spitting image of a Nazi sub-orbital design that never got built.

  24. Re:*Groan* Go Hug a Tree on Robotic Mini-sub to Inspect NYC Water System · · Score: 2

    haha, decent roads and New Jersey in the same sentence? Try driving outside of your own state for once and you'll see how shitty NJ's raods are.

  25. Damn! on Interesting Concepts in Search Engines · · Score: 2

    I actually came up with a similar idea 3 years ago. Not that anyone will believe me, but kudos to the people who actually put some work into it instead of me sittin on half and idea.
