    Bastard!

    I just tried *#0000# on my Siemens GSM phone in Hong Kong and only succeed in changing the menu language to Chinese!

    Fortunately the very obvious *#0001# changed it back to English.

    Phew.

  19. Re:Moneypenny on Skydiving Across the English Channel · · Score: 1

    This is absolutely true, because I saw them filming it.

    It was amazing. Since I work on the harbourfront in Hong Kong, I could look out of my office window and SEE people in free-fall below the tops of some of the buildings in Hong Kong. They would then pop their chute somewhere under 500 feet, I believe.

    Later on that week, one of my friends was out drinking and happened to bump into the stunt coordinator (or someone like that) and he said that the skydivers were getting some obscene amount per jump - about 2000 Pounds Sterling (3200 USD). And these guys were doing 5-10 jumps a day!

    Nice money.

    Yes, that would most definitely be a problem.

    It would probably also tell me that it's time to get some new friends :)

  23. Re:Slight modification: white-list+Bayesian is use on Bayesian Filtering For Dummies · · Score: 1

    You don't necessarily need an explicit whitelist. All you need to do is include the email headers in the list of tokens from which the Bayesian filter learns.

    Then, if you receive non-spam from a friend, their email address is automatically added to the list of non-spammy words.

    Conversely, any time you classify a spam email, then that email address, and potentially the domain if the tokenising is smart, is added to the list of spammy words.

    This is what SpamBayes already does, I believe.
