    And with IAMP I mean IMAP...

  2. Re:Spam = /dev/null on Bayesian Filtering For Dummies · · Score: 1

    I recommend POPFile. It's multiplatform (Uses Perl. It has a Windows installer that inclues a stripped down version Perl), and it can categorise your mails in more categories than just "spam" and "not spam", eg. "spam", "work", "personal", "tennis" etc.

    It acts as a proxy between your mail program and the POP server, so you can keep using your favorite mail program. It only supports POP at the moment, but IAMP support is on its way.

    POPFile also recognises and counters many common spammer tricks, like commented-out-words (pe<!-- asdasd -->nis), d.o.t.t.e.d w.o.r.d.s, S p a c e d O u t W o r d s, same colored text and background on html mails ("invisible ink"), and more.

    I reset my statistics on May 7th, and my current accuracy is 98,59 at work, higher at home. I have received 356 mails, of which 5 have been misclassified, with 1 false positive.

    Because the gram is such a small mass that it is difficult to make a precise standard mass.

    And how many sites actually use the ?

    Opera uses both the link-tag, or if it is missing, links that have the text "next" in them (or in the case of image-links, the alt text). IIRC it uses multiple languages to find "next" links.

    Oh yeah, and if a page has a bunch of links to images, fast-forward lets you view them as a slideshow.

    No, wait! Analogies are fun, and I can make this one even sillier:

    It's like a burglar that is hiding in a closet and mooning people through a window. Every now and then he goes out and gets a mail package that contains equipment and futher instuctions.

    The new "patch" is like a booby-trapped pistol that is rigged to blow on the wielder's face, and that hopefully only has one bullet in it.

    Seriously, the guys in India, Russia, et. al. are working their asses off for far less money than IT professionals make here.

    Or they are slacking off for far less money than IT professionals in other places.

  11. Re:But does it have destruction of property? on Doom III Trailer Debuts At E3 · · Score: 1

    Try Red Faction. Parts of the environment were destructable. And not just "I shot a rocket at a wall and it revealed a secret passage", you actually made holes into the walls.

  12. Re:I think hl2 will be better... on Doom III Trailer Debuts At E3 · · Score: 1

    Parts are implemented in some games. Red Faction had deformable environments, many games have had ragdoll physics and objects that break when enemies hit them.

    I remember the days when it was the Genesis vs. SNES vs. 3DO vs. Turbografx 16 vs. NeoGeo vs. the Jaguar.

    Genesis vs. SNES vs. What? vs. What? vs. What? vs. What?

    Those other consoles haven't really died because they hardly lived.

    There is this thing called Xbox live, you know. You could download them directly to the Xbox.

  16. USB on Sony To Release PSP Handheld Console In 2004 · · Score: 1

    The PSP has a USB connection. The PS2 has two USB ports. Think Gamecube - Gameboy Advance.

    Where the hell did you people pull that 2 hours from?

    Someone said "It better not have a battery life of 2 hours", and after that everyone is saying "OMG THE PSP HAS A BATTERY LIFE OF 2 HOURS IT SUXXX"

    Has Sony released any specs on battery life? No.
    Will the PSP have a battery life of 2 hours? Probably not. I'm sure Sony know what they are doing.

  24. Re:More to the point. on Sony's Memory Stick TV Tuner at CeBit · · Score: 1

    So it took, what, 6 posts for one of the "I want a phone that makes a phone call" -people to emerge.

    At least Nokia has made a "basic" phone, the 2100.

    Sorry, it also has stuff like a stopwatch, a full-screen clock, and changeable covers, but it is a new phone and about as basic as you can get nowdays. You are in the minority, though. Most people want the bells and whistles. They want their phone to be "cool", even if they never really use all those features.

  25. Re:Why use Jpeg? on Video Codec Comparison · · Score: 1

    You already have to trust the results of the author, even if he had posted pngs.

    But he basicly said that "Okay, this JPEG looks better than it should" and "This JPEG does not do the codec justice" and so on. If we are already trusting the author, why post screenshots at all. Especially when they are not accurate.
