This should be a given. If you try to block spam, you are going to block some legitimate messages. Hopefully, your ratio of blocking spam messages against legitimate messages is good, but it will never be perfect. This is due partly because spam itself is subjective. A lot of spam messages can be picked out and determined to be a spam message by 10 out of every 10 people. But for some messages, its not that simple. It's just real subjective. Then you're asking an algorithm to use subjective logic to determine whether a message is spam or not and problems just occur. Like I said, for the most part these filters work pretty good, but its not going to be perfect and anyone that thinks so, is just not thinking straight.
I am not opposed to some degree of flagging an alleged spam message, but to discard it without the end user knowing about it is where issues begin to arise. By flagging a message, the end user is able to use their own discretion to determine whether a message is a spam message and they can do whatever they want with those messages.
This isn't to say that RBLs and spamlists are a bad idea, just if you implement one of these, then be prepared for some type of backlash. Perhaps in some cases an RBL is necessary, but to think that using an RBL you are going to stop all spam and all of your clients are going to be happy, that's just wrong.
For communication purposes isn't it better if everyone can read and understand what you are saying. If a typed letter does that, then all the better.
But as far as actually writing your own notes, one should still be able to write on paper and be able to understand their own handwriting. I don't see the art of physically writing going away anytime soon.
I used to do the Jewel case thing, and I still keep some of my games and CDs I use most often in jewel cases above my desk. I have since gone to using those Zip around binders you can get OfficeMax. Usually OfficeMax will have a rebate deal in the Sunday paper where you can get them free or close to it, after rebate.
While I haven't read this book or the previous edition. If you are wanting to learn the language and don't want to pay for the book, php.net and phpbuilder.com are two of the best sites available. They post have good references and PHPbuilder has a very useful forum in case you get stuck.
While there are still copies of Netscape and Netscape users out there. It looks like the majority of the people use Internet Explorer, Opera, and Netscape (not sure what order). It looks like Microsoft is taking aim at Opera now.
For what its worth, I think Opera is the best browser out there. It has great speed, and renders the HTML like its suppose to be rendered. Can't speak for stylesheets though, don't use them.
I think Berman and the rest of the Star Trek production staff just started cutting corners. This started back in First Contact, when Data disabled his emotion chip. How? Where did that come from?
When I left the theater after seeing Nemesis I couldn't help but think, "This movie could have been so much better". Maybe it needed to be longer, if it did then so be it. They should have explained the fire while cloaked ship (sorry, forgot its name). Don't get me wrong, that was real interesting. But the battle scene was too short. The ship should have headed towards earth. And had a more massive battle.
The Data dying, while not completely cheesy, could have been better. I have nothing wrong with the idea, but make it mean a little bit more.
The idea was there for this movie, but it was almost as if they got half-way through the movie and thought "wow, this movie is going to be long, we better start cutting it short". It just left a lot of emptiness in me. I also think they were trying to mock Star Trek II too much, without being obvious. But they paid too much attention to not being obvious that it was actually obvious.
In closing, I too hope this is the last TNG movie. It is time for this series to rest in peace.
Not that I don't think it was a problem with the shuttle, I just don't think everyone should be so quick to determine that the cause was not terrorist related.
Course, if there were some device planted on the shuttle, its very doubtful investigators would ever find any evidence of it.
Wow, steal stuff let it be reviewed 2 months before anyone else sees it, and not expect to go to jail. Sounds like a prime presidential candidate if you ask me.
I seem to remember reading something about a scanner, about the size of a pen, that would allow you to scan individual lines. This was a couple of years ago I think. Don't remember what it was called. Anyone else remember these? Maybe I'm just thinking of some James Bond flick.
Microsoft is just trying to show the public that there is competition in the Operating System market. Its sort of a reverse psychology, but think about it. They never have admitted on their commercials that there is anything else to use. By showing anti-unix commercials, they are saying to the public "You say there's no choice for operating systems? He's another choice, it sucks though."
I'll have to agree as well. I use Icewm. Its small and fast, especially since my Linux box is a P166. I use the Infadel theme. Icewm runs pretty smooth on that computer.
P.S. Icewm also supports hot-keys. Gotta have hot-keys.
at the college I attend. The networking teacher uses it to project handy dandy Powerpoint Presentations on it. Is there any software for Linux that interfaces with it? Everyone is so caught up with Microsoft at that school, that they don't even know what Open Source means.
I can see where they can have their advantages though. Mainly the fact that they don't use ink to write on. This has become a problem in most classes, especially Calculus class where you can't read what is on the board because the marker doesn't write.
However, for that same reason, I'd have to say that I do not like these Smartboards. They're method of writing is similiar to a PDA, which is difficult to line up stuff that has already been written. This would not be good for a math class.
I'll have to agree with this concept. Up until a few years ago, I was downloading all the warez I could. Finally realized that I never played any of the games I downloaded, I just downloaded them to download them.
Last November, one of my friends got a copy of RtCW, I got a copy of it, to play the single player, I had the intention of buying it, just not at that moment. A few weeks later, Circuit City had it for $30, so I bought it, even though I had already beaten the game off the copy.
I think as most people grow older and more mature, they realize what buying a game means. Its like the whole concept of warezing games (and applications too, I guess) doesn't mean anything any more. If you want a game, you buy it. You might get a copy and try it, but you later buy it.
Thats my take on it anyway. Right now, I can't play any games, not with Calculus and the fact that my Winblows box has been running for close to 5wks (ph33r the power of Windows 98) and it doesn't do anything.
BTW, I wonder what the record is for most ISOs downloaded over a dialup connection? I'd bet I downloaded 50+ ISOs over dialup, back in the day (still on dialup).
Though its been a while since I have programmed in C, I think it is worth noting, for new users, that learning C, is a lot easier than trying to learn C++. I tried to learn C++, but as a newbie programmer, it got very confusing. I don't remember why, but C was just a lot easier to learn. I never went on to study C++ (perl got really interesting). But, my advice for anybody wanting to go into programming, take a look at C first.
The one thing I have against Opera, is that I cannot get Java to work on it. I'm using Opera 6.0 TP2. Has anyone gotten the Java plugin to work? Is there something else you have to do. I followed instructions on Opera's site.
Despite this, I still use Opera as my broswer of choice. I just use Netscape if I have to use Java.
You know, the one with a seat, so I don't have to stand all day. And the one with 4 wheels for better traction. And, hopefully it will have some type of cargo storage unit.
Oh wait... they already make those... its called a car.
Is there any place you can download the Super Bowl commercials at? I'm on a 56k and streaming doesn't work very well. The Ifilm Site only allows streaming. Is there a way to download these?
BTW, I can stream them while I'm in school, using the school's phat pipe, but can't hear them and that ruins them.

What about the Current Euro Notes? Will they recall all the notes that and then redistribute them so that they all have the RFID?

Does this only affect mIRC? Why not just switch to a different IRC client?

Well, ha... I'm running Windows 98, so I'm like 91 levels above Mandrake.
Please say Jar-Jar's not in this one ... Oh, wrong trilogy, my bad
Actually 1972 was the last time mankind went to the moon. Apollo 17 was the last Apollo Mission, in December 1972.
Probably not the the first post, but pretty close. Had to give it a try
Just the camera, S-band radio and main computer are yet to be completed.
Well, atleast the wings are installed... its almost ready.

So does this "New Chemistry" actually make sense?
