I know I could. I don't want to maintain rules, this was my point on thunderbird. If it is junk, I click the little junk icon, and voila' no more junk from that guy versus creating a new, flawed rule based on subject or some other word. Writing spam rules is tedious and does not replace adaptive filters.
Unless you compare it to thunderbird. Junk filters, all I want is junk filters. Why can't they just put adaptive junk filters in evolution. Thunderbird has had it from the beginning.
I agree. I use the geek analogy. It's like migrating from a windows network to a linux network. Although the existing structure is inefficient and unreliable, it is better than nuking the server room and starting from scratch. The key is migration planning. Maybe we need to come up with a migration strategy for our government.
Too bad we can't have a test society to test our test government on before gov_1.0 deployment. There have been many alpha/beta releases of government, but unfortunately, after release, development goes stale and none of the bugs are fixed, only worked around - which is only sustainable for so long. I believe we are reaching the end of sustainable. I really believe that our government has no real goal. I feel like we are sitting in the middle of the ocean in a leaky canoe, trying to patch the holes, but not going anywhere.

This reminds me of something that became perfectly lucid to me today.
Noobs are difficult.
I had decided recently, for security reasons, to move a set of documents from one share, to a seperate share just for the group that uses the docs. Like an idiot, I changed the users login scripts in the middle of the day thinking it would be no big deal, they were expecting the change and knew it was coming that day. All they had to do is logout and log back in and the new mapped drive would be there. I was amazed by the number of times I had to explain that in order to log in, you must first log out. The users couldn't understand why, if they already logged in, why they had to log out, then log back in again.
I don't know about the Florida State Lottery, but I do know that something like 73% of PowerBall Lottery winners are from a "quick Picks". When you consider the odds involved, it is completely feasible for there to be several draws without a winner. As an aside, I have to call bullshit on your guy buying all possible numbers inorder to win. If this is indeed true, he lost money and really did do it exclusively to say he won it.
You write software that designs it for you. Pump in some parameters, a materials list and voila! Instant stuff. I know there is specialised software that does this in a basic way now. Darwinistic software, software that goes through the trial process during design. I can't see how it would be so difficult to write software in this manner as well. Just write some standard sophisticated JUNIT tests.
In the future, currency will be in the form of sexual favors:-) Think about it. If you want your wife to do something, you can't bribe her - she has all of your money. So you exchange back massages or her favorite sexual activity, or another human only activity. Of course, when there are realistic sexbots, that won't work either. If all needs are met for survival, sexbots are available (so will likely cleanerbots), then all that is left is ego. You will work for the prestige of working.
According to the Stanford-Binet scale, the average IQ is between 85-110. An 85 IQ is almost retarded (it's actually 75 or less to be considered mentally handicapped) and 110 isn't that brilliant.
So, if the average person is stupid, then half the population is dumber than that. Which means a democracy is lead by a bunch of idiots. I know I am smarter than the majority, and I'd wager you probably are too.
I am not the originally poster, but I had to point out that he is probably smarter than average, and thus the majority.
I know you have heard the saying "What is right isn't always popular, and what is popular isn't always right"
Think about that the next time you decide to defend the majority. I, myself, am always suspicous of them.
I like both "DE"s, but prefer the applications that kde has, and since functionallity is the ultimate goal, it is what I use. On the other hand Gnome does stuff better than kde i.e. context menus on panels, so I am torn. If the advantages of both were integrated, we would be on our way. Instead we have 2 not quite right options. I really don't believe it would kill the innovation of "DE"s if one was focused on, people will always want a choice. Even windows has litestep etc.
Ideally we use a version of Gnome, with many of the kde apps integrated out of the box without going the way of ximian desktop and hiding the functionallity normally available. Ultimately, the advances made in one enviroment will advance the other as well.
Virtual folders rule. I wish more mail clients had those. It is so cool to sort all your mail as it comes in and have only 1 folder to open to read your unread messages.
You missed the point. Even if you were successful in tracking this ONE guy down and successfully knocked him down - you got ONE. You need an automated approach that will get everyone of the sonsabitches. Maybe if you automated the process and integrated it into firebird where every time you marked spam it would do this behind the scenes in a hands off sorta way - yeah. But not the way you do it. The opportunity cost is far greater than the return.
Ever see/read the movie/book "Needful Things" by Stephen King? Basically, in the climax of the movie/book, everyone is in the middle of the street trying to kill each other due to provacation from this one guy. Wouldn't it be cool if we could turn microsoft, sco, spammers, virus writers, conservatives etc...against each other? Have them all in the middle of the street stabbing each other to death.
Yeah, that makes sense. "Spam me and I'll spend 300000% more time in faxing you!" Yeah, that will show them. How much time/effort do you think it took for them to send you that email? I bet they laugh their asses off when they get someone who does this stuff - I know I would. Such a passionate, yet completely ineffectual response. Don't waste your time until you can do something with a little more impact. Even if this spammer decided to quit because of your fax, do you think he'd tell all of his spammer buddies and they'd stop as well? Not bloody likely.
Oh and bandwidth goes both ways. When you waste theirs, you waste yours as well.
I do. But instead of making it complicated, I just make a pattern on the keyboard. In most cases, I can't even tell you what my password is, I have to type it. It is actually more simple than remembering words. See, this password: @W#E$R%T is easy when you type it out, just use/alternate your shift button. Nothing new I'm sure.
Sure it is a great example for your point - when you take it out context and change the words.
I'm not looking for food, I'm looking for FISH, and I have seen FISH in the water. Since I have seen FISH in the water, I would certainly look for FISH in the water first - not the woods. Obviously not all water has fish, but in my experience, there is not fish in the woods.
Now I am not particular about what kind of FISH, just FISH.
Your example, concerning food is more applicable if I was looking for planets, not life. There are plenty of planets (food) around, why look for the Earth-like ones? I will digress, since I addressed that in my first post.
Yes possible, but it seems more likely, since life is proven to exist on earth, that looking for conditions similiar to ours would bear more results. I mean, look at the dataset, where would you begin - on the Jupiter-like planets or the Earth-like planets - considering what we know to true?
OK, see, what I would do is type it out, then copy and paste it into word (or in my case OO), then press f7, fix what is misspelled, then paste it back into the little reply box. This way you don't look like a jackass.
No matter what you say, no matter how relevant or insightful - if you spell like a 3rd grader you will never be taken seriously.
It's just rubber-necking. We all want to see the horrible destruction when the opposing wills make it to court. I for one cannot wait until the show down. I am just curious as to how fucked our legal system is. If SCO pulls this off, it is indeed time for a revolution. If they get their just due (i.e. federal prison etc...) I will have new faith in the system. Either way, the end result will be dramatic.

I immediately thought of Jody Foster going "Good..To..Go" while sitting in the machine we built from the plans the Vegans sent us.

What lies? I believe all we did was quote the real Ann Coulter - is she a liar?
