  1. Re:get rid of email altogether, I say on Using Statistics to Cause Spammers Pain · · Score: 1
    1. The type of system you describe (a whitelist-based system) has already been implemented many times over. TMDA, etc.

    2. No. I want to be able to receive mail from people I don't know who have read my writing, used my software, or checked out my website. And I don't want such people to have to jump through hoops to become "designated friends" before they can do it!
    I use a Bayesian filter (with an automatic whitelist which insures that anyone I've ever conversed with before can e-mail me unfiltered), and it works extremely well for me.
  2. Re:Anti-Spam software on Using Statistics to Cause Spammers Pain · · Score: 1

    SpamNet is a commercial version of Vipul's Razor, which runs on Unix systems and is certainly not Outlook-only. I believe the two (SpamNet and Razor) access the same checksum database.

  3. Bogofilter and ESR on A Conference About Spam · · Score: 1
    Perhaps someone will ask ESR why he refuses to update a way outdated bogofilter page that shows up at the top of Google results, despite repeated pleas from the developers.

    The real, current bogofilter page is at http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net.

  4. Re:ssh-keygen this you !@#$!@# on SSH Key Management Part 2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is the server running commercial SSH? If so, you'll need to convert the public key using ssh-keygen -e before putting it on the server. Also, the authorization file is a little different; it doesn't contain the key directly.

    My ISP's server is running commercial SSH 3.something. I have an .ssh2 directory there, containing my (converted) public key and a file called "authorization" which points to it:

    >cat authorization
    Key id_dsa.pub

    Hope that helps.

    ...they've just gone underground.

    Here are a few modern, independently-written Interactive Fiction games that match or beat anything Infocom has produced:

    Photopia (scroll down)
    Metamorphoses
    For a Change
    Babel
    Worlds Apart
