I have no 'best' way yet. It's still not 100%. But I do a regexp for spaces (more than 2) some charsacterss at the end of subject line.
Then I take the stirng see if all digits (spam) And then do a quick check to see if any vowels. If no vowels - spam. If mixed digits/alpha - spam.If any character was non-alphanumeric - spam.
I simply noticed a pattern with a lot of spams. A lot had a random sequence of characters mostly numbeic at the end of a spitload of space.
Tcl has some regular expression pattern matching. I coded a test to look for a few spaces (more than 2) and a string at the end of a subject line. I then grabbed the string and attempted a string to numeric conversion. If all digits - spam. Then on those strings that used a character sequence. I checked to see if it contained any vowels. No vowels - spam. I did not go so far as to run a check against a dictionary but...
The other great one to do is a reverse domain lookup/ping test on the sender. However; this has a relativly high cost associated with it to do every time. Maybe as a last resort. I have not implemented that yet.
Most spammers are such loosers that they bounce/steath themselves.
Considering -this: T1 & T2 establish that you can travel in time without causing a paradox and totaly blowing up the universe.
So. maybe Skynet et all just exists further in the future (history repeating and all) Furthermore: they only blew up the lab and destroyed the parts of T1. They did not get _all_ the people and scientists, and data backups. (you did make backups right?)
So you could have the same thing happen, just time shifted.
I wrote one in TCL recently - still alpha testing it. Pre-screens e-mail in my pop3 account _before_ I d/l it with fetchmail. Mostly based on a hueristic approch. EG spam rules:
If more than 50% of characters in subject are upper case = shouting.
If the Subject has a random number or nonsense string at the end.
If e-mail has no 'from', 'to' or 'subject' line
If e-mail is not addressed to me
Certain percentage of spam words (make, money,loan,etc)
Certain spam phrases
luzer list

It was amazing just what it did filter - I went from 10 spams a day to 1 a week. (mostly due to timing issue of spam pre-filter to fetchmail d/l)
It whacked almost 300+ spams from my 'public' e-mail account in one go. I also have it log the from/Subject - just in case)
You don't want to. After ripping 300 of my CD' to MP3's, I only need to rip a few at a time any ore for the new (used) ones I'm getting now. Biggest problems? diskus obscura or the unknown disk error. Worse yet was the mislabeled or inconsistantly labeled track info from freedb (even on dual packs.) Go figure.
I used the dual CD's in my linux server(using mp3c) plus the dual CD's in my Win box (using cdex.) I even created a script that would close the cd tray, rip and eject. So my involvement was slap on new disk, click on a icon (gnome) Took me a little over a week to rip them all.
I would say that unless you have to rip 10,000 CD's, using a massive changer would not be time well spent.
Here in Denver they said that people lost their connection totally, and it would be a week or two to fix. Then I saw that they were going to refund users for 2 days of service. I thought two days? If a I was down for a week I should get paid for a week. They should have had a contingency plan in place BEFORE it happened. I mean it not like it was unknown @Home was closing down.
I seem to remember a 'build your own computer project' (Byte mag?) that worked similarly. Imagine a CPU bus. Add as many CPU's as YOU need. Just stack as many as needed in a box. Well maybe not THAT many.
Ok where can I get a quad CPU board... Hell with that! Give me a 2^8 mod - would have to rename thou. Hmm.. Beo,G4,256...BfG2k anyone?
With all that artic silver thou, I would think that it would be difficult to remove.
(from previous articles on overclocking) As you use the compressed hydrogen gas, the container would get colder. I remember an article about a person using a jet engine to burn massive amounts of fuel in order for the fuel can (in water) to cool the beer. Heh. Jet engines, Propane and beer. Which is more dangerous?
So... you get power and a cold source for finally OC'ing those laptops!
given that 9.5 uses about 3X more memory than netscape, I can't afford that on my work PC. It was slow, resourse intensive, and when I try to hit the case mod section of HardOCP the thing drive thrashes my PC to a crawl. Sorry but until they deal with the bloat, I'm not interested.
I have some maps for UT that are 4mg is size alone. Surely they jest with us.
I'm surprised they did not put in a 40gb drive. It about where the lower end price/size break is. (eg cost per meg)
By my estimates its about 40gb on the low end and 80gb on the high end. Any bigger or smaller than that, and you start paying through the nose for little extra bang.
That and validating 'qualifications.' How many times do you see, a certificate program qualification, and not general practice qualification. eg. MCSE, NCE vs BS in IT with a minor in accounting.
Seems to ba a lot of 'track' certifications, and not a lot of 'general purpose' certifications.
Well given that we now have terabit-bit-per-sec network devices, most of the cost is the highpowered hardware to drive the signal. On something the size of motherboard you could have 128 channels of potentially terabit channels. Also you could have multi-colored laser as well on the same fibre and not interfere with other devices. Eg. all the CPU uses the ir band, the mouse/keyboard/slow devices use the red, harddrive and similar devices use the blue band.
how long this would take. Its getting cheaper to use fiber. The boards are getting tighter packed etc. I wonder if they will design a board that you don't have to swap the motherboard every time a new cpu/bus archetechure comes out.
Backplane anyone? the S100 had it - It was a good idea at the time.

I just hope the Terminatrix is user friendly, and loves to interface.

Just don't ever put on Grand Theft Auto 1,2 or 3.. just too much temptation.
About time they got volumetric texturing on a 3D card. When I nuke someone I want to see the smoking hole.

Considering the other technologies in prograss, we will have a built in 'computer link'
Ala the article about Nerve cells hooked to silicon
No, thats what lawsuits are for. (Free Dimitry!)
Now I'll have to buy anti-biotics for my computer when it gets a virus! I wonder if it will be covered by an HMO?
