How many bugs of type "silent delivery & execution of code" can you find for MS IE? How many in for Mozilla?
It goes to ~/mail/spam which I read once a 2-3 days so I don't lost any email. I just don't want my computer telling me I've got new mail when I've got new spam;-)
I found ifile - http://www.ai.mit.edu/%7Ejrennie/ifile/ - that learns how to recognize spam with statistics of word usage. I have written some scripts for using it with standard unix procmail and standard unix mailboxes. It recognize over 90% of incoming SPAM and 99% of corrects mails so it works very well for me. My scripts will be soon integrated in ifile package as said by ifile's author.
I'm a security consultant and I do read a bugtraq. I also study exploits to know "how doest it work", "how to protect" and "how to test vulnerability".
If I were in Australia - can I read bugtraq more? Can I study vulnerabilities and show anyone how the vulnerability could be exploited? Can I post to bugtraq? Can I post there step-by-step crack-howto? Can I post there step-by-step howto with shell commands? Can I post there shell script? etc...

Okay, no more Microsoft submissions today, please.
I was just going to submit The News(tm) that Microsoft really really sucks a lot... but if you don't want any more submitions today I will try it tommorow...
Konqueror is great, and web pages look terrific with anti aliasing is turned on. Galeon / moz can't do it as far as I know (may be with GTK 2?)
If you recompile Mozilla with Xlib or QT backend instead of GTK backend (see./configure) then Mozilla can do AA fonts.
The AA fonts will be in Mozilla 1.0 even with GTK+-1.2.x - you can have AA fonts in GTK apps but you must use Xrender explicitely. (look at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/) and search "anti alias" strings.
JFYI - Opera (http://www.opera.com/) can use AA fonts too, when being run under KDE with AA turned on.
Mozilla 0.9.x is getting better everyday, it's getting faster also... I think we will have a very good browser when M1.0 will be out.
(personally, I like Konq. but the thing with preformatted text, square chars withou line breaks annoys me (I often use bugzilla etc.)... I've been told by KDE developpers they're fixing this)
Yes, I have tried many of email clients (pegasus for DOS, pegasus for Windows, Kmail, PINE, elm..)
but I stick with MUTT for 2 years now because this email client simply RULEZ.
It's configurability, native PGP/GnuPG support is awesome. I think you can even imagine your "dream" client and then take a deep look at mutt's configuration documentation and configure mutt to suit such your dream client. Yes, I really think mutt is so powerfull...
It runs on all unix flavours (and Linux of course), and my friend us using it on Windows thanks to CYGWIN project.

I live in Czech republic and I believe that Russian-Georgia conflict is completely different than German occupation in here...
PCLinuxOS 0.93 is already using DKMS framework for 13 different drivers (ati, drm, fuse, kqemu, libafs, madwifi, ndiswrapper, nvidia, orinoco ...)
If the enc/dec functionality is really "complex"
then it's burned already. Security features need
to be SIMPLE, otherwise they do no good...
There are many old/new tricks for MS IE that allows
malicious scripts to cross MS IE security zones too.
MS IE is an increasing target for the attackers, just
like MS Outlook was/is. Just wait and see.

Actually, the mathematics behind this movies is a crap (and a big one). But I still like this movie, the soundtrack is really cool.

And I'm not right. As I read later - they'll change tha Law to make sysadmins rights to use this tools.

Skipstone is somewhat similar to Galeon with less features, a bit faster/more responsive, smaller and less dependant on Gnome.
It used to be little more buggy than Galeon but it's several months I haven't used it.
