2. Moz doesn't delete the spam, it marks it as spam. This is important if having legitimate email deleted scares you [as in many improperly setup spamass setups].
3. Moz trains *very* quickly and essentially correctly identifies all spam.
4. Moz has a push-button setup. It really can't get any easier. You click "this is spam" and boom Moz learns.
I recently switched from XP to Debian [knoppix actually]. In winxp I had Moz [naturally] and it was trained very well.
Upon switching to linux I spend a few days getting all my spam in the inbox and now [a couple weeks later, though really after the first few days it was much better] I get nearly no spam in my inbox [and zero false positives].
Seeing how Moz is open source there is little reason for not using their filter technology in another open source mail client [what would be cool is if you could export/import the filter data so you don't have to retrain it].
The problem with such memories is that they are not durable.
A smarter idea would be to have a high capacity li-ion battery backup that recharges when the computer is on. Eventually the battery will die which means making it hot-swappable [e.g. while the machine is on] would prove useful.
My computer is on 99% of the time so the battery essentially would never be used [except for power outages and the like].
In the end a battery backed solution would prove more practical for durability [e.g. you can re-write a "sector" a few trillion times] and cost.
You'd think that. Except many devices have timeouts that go upto seconds. So when trying to config [e.g.. guessing]...
Also it wouldn't be impressive if there weren't alot of churning to effectively turn on a computer.
What you really have to question is why you have your mobo do the PNP setup in a matter of a second then linux still takes about 20 seconds to boot [thereabouts I've never really timed it].
Part of the problem is people want 10GB/sec memory.
Which causes heat and requires alot of expensive memory. Heck I would settle for 50GB of 5MB/sec memory which is all my IDE harddrive can write anyways.
Of course 5MB/sec wouldn't be popular [even though you could effectively make it with ram from the early 90s]. Which is why you lie, it isn't 5MB/sec its 41943040 bits/sec. Now that's impressive!
A teacher who has engaging real life problems to give to the students can go only so far. A student can find a class "boring" no matter how hard the teacher tries if they are not following along.
For example, in my senior social science [was in French] I admitedly ignored most of the homework and projects. Near half way through the semester I didn't know what they were talking about half the time and it was hella boring.
same thing for other subjects. If you don't learn what a limit is, you're really going to hate derivatives and rates of changes problems. If you don't know basic chemistry you're really going to hate advanced chemistry, etc, etc, etc.
As for "bill neye" and such. I watched those shows but did you ever notice how slow they were? They would waste a full hour teaching maybe a few things [on sporadic subjects].
As for ADHD that itself is a copout. How many of these students are just immature brats who get ansy when they realize they're going to fail because they are not following the class.
In the end its two-ended. The teachers should try to engage the students. That is, to find problems that the students will not only understand but at best be a part of [improv is always cool]. The teachers should spend the time to teach the basics properly and not skip to the more "fun" lessons.
However, the students have to put an honest effort forward. Just being "present" in a class is not doing your part. You have to follow the lessons, do the homework, interact with the class [e.g. volunteer to answer questions], etc, etc, etc.
Why should they? Whats in it for them? Not landing in detention or getting in trouble with their parents?
This is exactly the problem. What's in it for them? Learning something they didn't! I don't know about you but in my school after grade 9 most classes are elective so if you really hate calculus don't take it. If you really hate gym, don't take it, etc, etc.
I mean the teachers can't force feed knowledge to unwilling students.
It seems all too easy to blame the school when little Johny fails math. Had the parents only known little Johny only showed up to 3 classes and skiped all of the exams....
And I'm speaking as someone who a) somewhat fresh out of high school and b) lives beside a high school.
Sorry to burst your bubble but not every subject in school is "happy joy game fun". Calculus is fucking boring. My class had all the classical puzzles [e.g. sand pouring, how fast is the diameter growing after x seconds, etc] but there are only so many different puzzles you can do before you're repeating them.
Same for other fields. You can have "challenging" work but not everything is a fucking game. The minute parents and kids realize that "interesting" and "games" are not always dependent on each other the better.
Kids who tend to be the most disrespectful and disruptive just want to have fun and games. So be it. They can have fun and games on the streets.
I mean I totally agree that a monotonous teacher who just drivels out a lecture probably won't insight much interest. However, there is a difference between "engaging" and "fun". The kids have to meet the teachers have way, that is they themselves have to take an interest in paying attention, doing the homework and asking questions.
You nuts can invent C(\+)* while I will stick to plain jane ISO C thank ya very much.
Seems people keep inventing new languages to solve problems which are already solved in existing languages. Maybe if the two week IT people who are the backbone of these languages of the week spent three seconds and checked for existing solutions [libraries] they wouldn't seek the language of the second.
"throwing money" at anything won't immediately solve it.
However, providing resources where required can help. For instance, if our teachers were decently paid. Or how about schools that pass health standards? Or how about not having to share 20 year old copies of MacBeth that miss pages 37 through 45!?!?
Things like 2000 new computers won't help education. Things like 1000 new "Directors of the Board" [e.g. Ottawa area] won't help either.
What would help is if people in charge of the money decisions actually sat through a semester of high school [or elementary] and saw what crap teachers and students have to put up with first hand.
Also I firmly believe that teachers should have more recourse in punishing students than kicking them out of class. How about outright failing them? See how cool teenagers think it is to act up when they are 23 and still haven't finished grade ten...:-). From my last year in high school my teachers would actually look forward to the senior classes just because the grade nine students could get away with murder [it's politically incorrect to be held back a grade].
Anyways my original point was that the US is alarmingly becomming a war-bound nation. Dropping fair education for higher military might is just one of the many signs of things to come.
I remember Cyrix MI and MII processors as the "I can buy this on a retail job part-time salary when I was 16" processors which wickedly out performed any economical intel processor of the time.
In fact I recall my 486SLC/66 had desperate troubles playing mp3s yet my MI/133 [or 166 I forget] would sail through them with power to spare. My 233Mhz MII was even sweeter.
At the time I could put a mobo+cpu together for like 200$ or so.
My current processor cost 225$ alone [iirc].
Oh yeah and as another poster pointed out the Cyrix cores were much better with heat than intel/amd. The C3 is even better.
Just to let you in on a tidbit. It is *perfectly* legal for me to follow you anywhere I would otherwise be entitled to go.
So if I really wanted to know what you were buying I could just follow you around for a while. No big secret.
What people fail to argue [or as often] is the cost to the consumer. Will this stop shoplifting and ultimately control prices or will it just be yet another failed attempt and drive prices higher?
My approach is to use ASSERT like macros which the end developer can tweak to various styles [or NULL]. Good code should always check for the majority of errors out of the box.
It comes in handy specially when you are writing new code and happen to forget to copy a pointer [which happend to me just the other day].
It's an argument to a function. It cannot be modified by another thread/process [other than access the stack directly].
Besides if you are really out to screw a program up no form of mutex/semaphore/etc can save you. You might have written a function which doesn't lock correctly, etc...
Slashdot Mirror
Well does he really need to actively access his 3000+ files?
I mean I've probably made 1000+ word processing documents but I don't cherish them for a lifetime.
And you're more than right. If he has a legacy with wordperfect why even bother thinking of making the switch?
Tom
save your corel files in a intermediate type [ms word, rtf, etc...] then open then in OO.
:-)
And to think I'm going to college to learn shit like this...
Tom
Vile foe! you make no sense!
This means war!!!
Um features of moz over spamass.
1. I don't have to setup a server to run moz.
2. Moz doesn't delete the spam, it marks it as spam. This is important if having legitimate email deleted scares you [as in many improperly setup spamass setups].
3. Moz trains *very* quickly and essentially correctly identifies all spam.
4. Moz has a push-button setup. It really can't get any easier. You click "this is spam" and boom Moz learns.

Tom
Oooh, ooh, one word.
Redundant.
I already have Moz installed, it already sports a mail client which has spam control.
Why would I install this new suite and then a spam filter?
Tom
Quickly checked their feature list. No automatic spam filter [as in Mozilla].
No sale. I live off that moz filter [since it catches basically all spam I get].
Tom

My rant (c) 2003.
Tom
Not really. The lack of spending on edumication means the US will be filled with illiterate bullies who pick on the few who can still read.
You'll need them there ships to protect yer honour against the literate of the world! Down with Canadia!
Down with the edimications!
Tom
... and 90s...
common they're cool!
No stalking is getting involved in their life. .e.g. calling them, getting in their face, etc...
Find me the passage in the either the criminal code for Canada or the US where following someone [say in a Mall] is strictly prohibited.
And I did mention "entitled to go". Obviously private property where you don't have reasonable believe of belonging would be illegal.

Tom
Track after you buy it?
You mean that Zellers Cheroke jacket may have been sold at a JC Penny?
Grow the fuck up you twat.
Brand visibility ALREADY exists. Which means people can ALREADY tell where you buy your closes.
And among the rich isn't it chi-chi to be known to buy from the best of the best shops? [e.g. 1000$ tshirt, etc...]?
Tom
By far the funniest thing I have read all day.
Congrats.

It comes in handy specially when you are writing new code and happen to forget to copy a pointer [which happend to me just the other day].
Tom
Which is totally useless if you happen to be authoring a library which other developers depend on.
:-)
Nice try though
Tom
Hey no prob. Not like I could say I know how to program in LISP [at all] or Java [proficiently] :-)
