Secondly, over time, assuming that spammers put forth any effort into bypassing his filters, the filters will become much less useful. Spammers will intentionally misspell key words to lower their total spam rating.
I don't think you read all the way thru then. He talks about exactly this. This filter LEARNS, so the first time you delete-as-spam an email with intentionally misspelled words, the filter immediately knows that those words are "bad" and that any subsequent message containing those words is probably spam.
I love this idea, and can't wait to see it implemented.
No. It's called port information is in about a million places which are readily accessible by 100 different methods in under 15 seconds. Why bother to remember them?
Well, I'm sure apple would love your terms. Then they'd be the only company selling computers with a usable operating system.
Why the heck do you want to force consumers to purchase their operating system seperately and install it themselves?
Wrong. You go to your friendly LOCAL computer store (NOT compusa/bestbuy/whatever). Buy a computer. Then buy Windows and pay them to install it. Put it on 2 separate invoices and you get your windows computer prebuilt with no extra hassle.
The people this would hurt would be Dell, Gateway, et al. And frankly, I don't care. I like the idea, gets people buying local instead of from faceless national conglomerates.
IF I were to get an Xbox, Halo would be the reason why.
I wandered into an EB a week ago,walked up to it and started playing. Then I look at my watch, and suddenly it's over an hour later...
It's a very good game.
God I was so mad when they made that xbox only. they damn well better port that sucker.
If something bad happens because they clicked the icon, (e.g. they get or spread a virus), that is the fault of the software, not the user.
You have got to be fucking kidding...
IIS guy: Don't click on something you don't know.
Luser: I clicked on this thing you told me not to because it looked cool.
IIS guy: Oh gee, it's the software's fault, don't worry about it.
Yeah.. right.
While I agree on your overall point about insecure systems...
Blaming the software because the user does something stupid is like blaming your car when you run it into a pole.
We had a DSL circuit ordered in Sept (2000)that verizon finally pulled in April...
Went to wrong address 4 times.
Insisted that the customer was never there even when they got the address right (Cust. runs business from home, and has 2 dogs that bark at any intruder that makes it on the yard, dogs never saw anyone.)
God that was the most patient customer we ever had.
Had another one that they finally ran the line.. then came back and totally rewired the customers house and broke both her phone and her DSL, then proceded to unhook the DSL line that they took 6 months to put in. She cancelled...
And of course they kept telling her that they could have her DSL in 3 days.. if she bought from them...
I don't agree...
Joe Public (as we've named them now) wants to listen to some music while he does his home finances... does he haul the stereo/amp/cd player/speakers in from the den/living room to his home office where the computer is?
No. I don't think so. He pops that CD in the computer and plays it thru those nice altec speakers that came with his PC.
Since you mention teenagers- I know many teenagers whose PC IS their stereo. Hell you can get PC speaker systems in 5.1 digital surround that are better than regular stereo systems. Who the hell needs a separate stereo?

Yet another reason to turn off the stupid preview pane(in the ass).

Save your memory for more important things.
God damn you're elitest.
Try realizing that the USA is not the center of the universe.
(and yes, I'm an american. Morons like you piss me off.)
Well said!
Well said, sir!
VISA and Mastercard are the SAME company.
Wrong.

Not allowed to view this page error.
So much for that.
So just for the heck of it i surf this new XP build over to the windows update page.
And it tells me there are EIGHT updates, including a Critical update for security fixes that have been known since august.
So I geuss we're all getting a 3 month old product, with security holes.
Wow, what a surprise.
This is THE WORST moderating I have ever seen on slashdot.

Safe how? You seem to imply that if it catches fire it's compaq's fault.
This is wrong. If they issue a recall telling you that you should replace and you DON'T. Then it's YOUR fault if it causes a fire after the fact.
Their fault it breaks, but they have offered to replace them. If you refuse that offer, no one's going to help you if your house burns.
Internet is international.
But unfortunately US policy affects a lot of it.
I think I just found a new way to wallpaper my apartment.. woo!
to get done with us.. then we'll all be mindless clones connected by .Net..

So who is left that is actually producing consumer desktops built around AMD??
That was by far the best thing i have seen all week.
Maybe i need to get out more..
Everyone knows Notepad is the best html editor anyway...
