  1. Re:One cool thing in the roadmap... on New X Roadmap from Jim Gettys · · Score: 2, Informative

    Xmove while ok in concept, it doesn't work that great in practice. I was able to get it to work on to Xsessions on the same machine, or two VNC Xsessions. But between an Xsession on a remote machine, or even the local Xsession and a local VNC Xsession it wouldn't go due to font and/or color depth incompatibilities.

    Native support that addresses those issues would be great, I would love to run X apps in a screen like wrapper would I could attach them to any Xsession I might be located at.

  2. Re:Bayesian filters vs. IMAP on Seven Spam Filters Compared · · Score: 1

    Check out SpamBayes's IMAPfilter, might do the trick for you.

  3. Re:Spammers will just just HTML with images.. on Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters · · Score: 1

    There is usually enough information in the url and headers to classify it as spam. I rarely get these pure image spams in my unsure folder anymore, SpamBayes nails them dead on. SpamBayes has even been tested to filter only only header information with some success.

  4. Re:And the winner is... on Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters · · Score: 3, Informative

    SpamBayes has a very well done pop3 proxy that will work with ANY pop3 mail client, including Eudora. There is also an IMAP filter for those that like IMAP and for those procmail fans it also has an app called hammiefilter which is a command line version of the SpamBayes tools.

    SpamBayes also has a very well done and integrated Outlook plugin which leads to the common misconception that SpamBayes will only work with Outlook.

    Also note the review mentioned that both SpamBayes and POPFile work on multiple platforms and he is reviewing the pop3 proxy on both them, not their counter part outlook plugins.

  5. Re:What about features other than text? on Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes it does, the developers have created a test suite and a very extensive tokenizer. Any additional pseudowords, or new ideas to tokenize a message are tested very throughly before they are added (as most tend to actually lower accuracy instead of raise it). There have even been tests using SpamBayes on just headers and just message bodies and both have worked very well.

  6. Re:Things PHP is missing on PHP Cookbook · · Score: 1

    For the consistant database integration, take a look at the Pear Database class that is included in every PHP download. http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.php

    They abstract out all the database related functions, and are a pleasure to use.

  7. Re:Semi-off-topic: best Bayesian filter for Outloo on Spam Conference in Boston · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try Spambayes, even though it is early in development I didn't have any problems getting it to work. After some initial training it catches about 99% of my spam without one false positive.

  8. Becareful... on Large IDE Drives as Long-Term Archival Media? · · Score: 1

    I have tried the removable hard drive w/ ide interface and after about a year of use the ide connection between the holder and the hd case stopped connecting causing a huge head ache.

    We have recently switched to an external firewire drive which is working alot better and better yet, you don't have to reboot (hot swapable).

    Bottom line of advice, avoid the removable ide bays, they are more pain they are worth.
