Habeas maintains a BlackList called the Habeas Infringers List that is specifically designed to be used by spam filtering software.
Based on that, It seems to me that you made a mistake (which is no big deal,) or that you're fear mongering.
I don't think it's warranted to assume that Habeas is against spam filtering. They have simply built a business model around rectifying the most major shortcoming of current anti-spam technology: false positives.
That passage was related to the Habeas Whitelist and not the Habeas Haiku . It is a License Agreement and has nothing to do with copyright infringment . Furthermore, it only specifically covers situations where people attempt to blacklist sites on Habeas' whitelist; somthing no sane admin would ever want to do.
Please tell me you just made a mistake, and aren't smoking some really, really, really strong crack.
There are good media players out there, you just need to know what to look for and where.
Media Player Classic (MPC) is a shining example of a solid, simple player with a good feature set.
Since you're probably interested in being able to play most video formats, you'll want to download Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative to save you the hassle of installing the invasive Quicktime and Real players. Both QT and Real alternative are codecs rather than full blown players, and allow you to view their respective video formats in MPC.
Top it off with the DivX and XviD codecs, and you should be able to play pretty much anything under the sun with the exception of DVDs.
Unfortunatly I don't know of a free codec that can play DVDs, thanks to the RIAA's work on DeCSS. If you have a registered DVD decoder package, you'll probably be able to use MPC with it's supplied codec.
You can now play all your videos in a single place without sacraficing your privacy.
...for bringing this up in a rather serious discussion, but I can't be the only one who read "kill 9 innocent people" and immedatly thought: "Wait... wouldn't 'kill -QUIT' be much cleaner?"
Printing out the build documentation was the first time I was ever happy to own a dot matrix printer. If you don't care about super crisp output, the old dot matrix could blow through large quantities of text in ways that even the best modern laser printers can't.
(Moreover, there also isn't yet any standard mechanism for users to report spamminess or nonspamminess back to normal IMAP or POP mail hosts -- and Bayesian algorithms require sampling both spam and non-spam mail, not just spam reported to an abuse address.)
Over IMAP this is exeedingly simple. Create two standard folders for the user, say 'Valid' and 'Spam.' Have them sort the mail manually into those folders.
Since IMAP orginizes the mail on the server, reading the contents of those folders after the user sorts his mesages and using it as a base for filtering would be no problem at all. Additionally, it has the benifit that the user could simply chose to ignore or delete those folders, side stepping privacy issues.
I'm well aware that an admin *can* read my mail... Fuck, I'm the admin after all... But I don't think running a filtering program over the contents of two folders is anymore invasive than running SpamAssasin or SpamBouncer over their incoming mail. It does become an issue if the admin pokes his nose into a person's scoring system... But then again, an admin could just as easily collect the same statistics using a simple shell/perl script.
The biggest problem is that this type of filtering is that it's an administration/support nightmare. I wouldn't be willing to hand hold a few hundred users through the conversion to IMAP, explain how they are supposed to sort their mail, or deal with the inevitable issues accompanying a complex system like this.
Plus, are filteres of this type even available as a semi stable product?

The physics for object orbits are incredible. This is a great demonstration of the exact effects you describe, and should apply to the questions and comments about orbits around a black hole.
Enjoy!
P.S.: You have no idea what a breath of fresh air it is to be able to visit cool links that aren't being slashdotted to hell and back.
To deal with the/etc/passwd problem, you may be able to use somthing like LDAP authentication.
Convert your system authentication over to an LDAP database, install the LDAP PAM libraries, configure qmail for pam -> LDAP authentication, and then connect to your login database over the loopback network connection.
I've never actually done this, but AFAIK it should work.
I think you failed to detect a hint of sarcasm in my voice with regards to my comments about other preditors. The sad fact is that our little town once had bears, mountain lions, et all, but that humans destroyed them all. No amount of aggression could do that without the aid of the tools and ideas that the origional auther tries to downplay... Additionally, these creatures were destroyed due to fear, rather than aggression, again, going back to my point.
Look at forgin policy... Look at the war on 'terror.' Look at the US tendency to poke our noses into other people's business... Look at our LACK of expansionary movement.
We fight for oil, we fight for 'security.' Greed and fear; both in their very primal forms, but with rather advanced technology. Dude, all off this supports my point that aggression is a means to an end, rather than a goal. Deer don't fight for the sake of fighting, they do it for mating and survival. Most (if not all) animals (including humans) will *NOT* attack each other just for the hell of it.
The problem is that he (and you it seems,) believe that people will kill each other for the sake of doing so. He's wrong.
Sadism is the exception rather than the norm.
This all says to me that he has a lot of pent up anger at the world.
If people are so deeply agressive, why the vocal support for conservation from the slashdot community? Have slashdotters really lost some basic human instinct? Do you think humanity has fundimentally changed over the past million years?

I personally just mute the midi interface in the mixer. =)
Doh! I should have remembered. Thank you. : )
Real Player has been using the RPM extension for about as long as RedHat. I admit to having a problem with that as well.

I hope that helps.
How long does your average chess match last? There still seems to be quite a bit of interest in chess.
You know, you could have changed your homepage in the amount of time it took to write: Yes I know, I'm too lazy to change my default home page....
Try: alias find='find 2>/dev/null', or locate(1).
Speaking as someone who is owed $35,000 by a startup... Are you saying that employees are now considered "investors?"
No, it sounds Awesome.
I'm hoping for more of a "Bambi vs. Godzilla" scenereo myself...
...and based on what you've written, I'm willing to bet you've never run a network larger than the one in your home.

There is somthing horribly ironic in seeing that sig after a long post on the Star Wars universe.

There's somthing to be said for old tech. : )

P.S.: IMAP rocks. ^_^
A bit insecure, are we?
But... in soviet Russia the fingers break you... Wise ass. ; )
Give netware a try. I understand that it's even better than Windows in most ways.
OS/X is based on a BSD kernel. Last I checked, BSD was a Unix clone as well.
...you've never had your wallet stollen, have you?

It's not a place I'd want to keep sensitive data.
I found this cool earth orbit physics toy and demonstration while reading one of my favorite web logs, Sensible Erection. (I, uh... Read it for the articles.)
