>Let me get this straight... You are claiming that fend-shui is fake because science doesn't back it up, then you disclaim that claim by saying you don't really know if science backs it up or not. Ok.
no, I think you missinterpreted me. I claim (from what I've read (scientific or otherwise )) that feng-shui is a fake thing. Hence the "AFAIK".
I don't claim I know more then I know, and if you know you know more then I know, then by all means, let me know. I sure would like to know as much as you know, you know?!
>In other words, you probably should have placed a disclaimer saying "I really have no proof or statistics to cite, so I made them up, thanks for reading my post!"
>Spam isn't an illness, it is a business. Filtering reduces spammers' profit margins. Reduce them enough and they'll stop doing it.
I concur with you on the fine point you make "Reduce them (profit margins) enough and they'll stop doing it". But I have a hard time even hypothetically conciving that "Filtering techniques" will ever ever bog spammers (enough to make them stop) from reverse-engineering 'Filtering techniques".
I've used a couple of the (at the time) best "filtering techniques". At this present day, it's "Accuracy rate" is sinking like titanic, in the begining it had a 99% accuracy, now it's down to 80% (or lower) - some proof? I get like ~200 SPAMs a day, and ~50 of them pass right thru it. (1 - (50/200))=0.75 ==> ~75% accuracy. But I haven`t done a full analysis, so this is a rough presumption.
OT, anyone half decent knows 'feng-shui' is a fake thing/* like astrology,
tarot-card reading,... */.... it`s a belif-system, and as long as you believe
in it your mind will make it real for you... no *real* scientific studies back
them up *AFAIK*.
and btw, WAKE up ppl. 'Filtering' won't make SPAM *ever* go away. As
long as you keep on filtering, I guess, it'll act as a cure/remedy that
'relieves pain',
but it isn't a cure/remedy that'll kill 'cancer' for good.
And from a different sidenote, 'Filtering' cost us the consumers more money in
the long run, as it's we who pay for the SPAM! weather we look at it, or we keep
filtering it away (shouldn't such activities be HIGHLY illegal? in any justice system?...).
Becase it's we who pay for the Broadband the ISPs deliver to us, and they have to
charge us according to how much it cost's them to sustain it (+some profitable margin).
SPAM eat's like *what was it* 60-80% of the total broadband (world wide) now?!
And yes sir'y, You and I are the ones paying for it, if all we do is keep on 'filtering' it...
... I guess, the recursive point I wanted to make is, as long as you believe in
this new 'Chung-Kwei'-filtering will STOP SPAM your mind will make it real for you...
finally!... why we must switch to 64-bit computing (AMD64, in any case....), to finally achieve that 'groove (almost) noiseless CPU':-)
BTW, Here's the link parent forgot to mention/link to./* basically it`s just a bunch of PR Spin/BuzzWord, as it's a rename of 'PowerNow' that has been in the Mobile cpu's... I know, I know - why rename/rebrand it and sell it as it where something new?... what can you do, every Corp. (as we know them) *just* got to show to the world they got a bigger 'DICK" then their competitor(s)... */
... and in all fairness/* even as an AMD zealot */ how does Intels' line stack up to this feature?.. anyone?
- make sure you have a CPU that has the NX feature. Such CPUs are:
all 64-bit variants of AMD (Athlon64, Opteron), future CPUs of
Intel, Transmeta and VIA.
(NOTE: 64-bit x86_64 kernels already
make use of the 64-bit variant of the NX feature - this patch
is only meant for 32-bit x86 kernels and distributions.) [emphasis added!]
maybe this link will shead some light on why no-one is agains ARM?!....
..they aren't in the business of 'competeing in/on a manufacturing' bases, but to provide their costumers with the designs they need (Seems like a 'service oriented' approach, to me).
/* they make their money by licesing 'the final design' on some royalty-base *I guess*, and I guess their costumers sees those royalties as 'part of the manufacturing costs' and don't really care much more about them. +Plus it would cost 'them' more to R&D and Devel/Debug etc etc on their own, then to go with ARM.... Finally it brews down to 'costs' and it seems ARM provides a compelling cost-effecting product/service(s).... */
I guess their new 'RSS'-thing really works well, and decide to do something about my *flame*:-).../* doubt it, but one can wish that would be true =)... no, I think they where going to do the 'freebe', just not in real time... */
follow the white rabbit, alice =)
That's, _MEGA_ Outragous! of them, (have you seen the prices?!/* I just checked */).
if they have 'money' problems that they can't continue to do the 'freebe'-keynote thing, I could consive to pay for the 'transport' (at the same amount/level, like 'that comdex'-thing, zdnet charges one for (on a per 'feed' price)....)... but at the prices I've *just* seen in the ADC-members page, *FUCK THAT*...all I wanted is to tune into the keynote, instead of watching <something else>... but I guess I'll be watching <something else> then....
/* here's hoping they'll come to their senses, and post-post it under their: Apple Events. */
IIRC, there was a 'image & link' here to the 2004 WWDC.
but now, it`s gone missing (it appears, so, anyway).
anyone know what happened to it? (cause I don't)
why don't they just manufacture them with
'pins to spare'?... like, for once, think 3 or 4 steps ahead of the curve.
/* what I mean is, make a socket, with like 4000 pins (I'm just `cat/dev/urandom`'ing here:)),
and use it for the next 5-10 years or so.... then one would _truely_ have a 'backward compatible' solution.... */
PS. Baah, what am I rambling about this to 'greedy capitalist', they freakenzie want to squeeze as much 'juce' as possible (and 'updates/upgrades' is their 'golden goose'...)
this all might be/or is a true measurement that shows more 'cache' is better... but this kinda also onnly makes it a validate measurement to state 'more cache is better' if both people have the same hard wired 'architecture' of a brain.
... there are plenty of benchmarks made about cpu's that hade different architecture, and while one has a smaller cache then the other, it still beats the crap out of the one with larger cache....
so this 'more cache is better' statement just flew out the window....
but with the power connector that are poorly designed/of low quality on the motherboard of the laptop.
*I'm one such victim*...
and my main opinion is 'flawed design view', when they try to squeeze more stuff into smaller form factors. And after I looked at it, I found that there would have been room for a proper solution (instead of a conncetor that is mounted strait on the PCB, you use a connector that you mount in the whole of the case and run wires to the PCB instead... this is to leaviate any stress/shock one might put on the 'jack connector' connected to the connector... heay, accidents allways happen... and possitive side effect is that it'd also make repairs easier/less risky. I'd rather prefer to soilder on wires, then on the PCB...).
but, then again, one of their thumb rules are also 'cut costs as much as possible'... and 'sell as many units as possible' (that is, try to sell one person as many as possible)... *crazy conspiracy, talking here:)*
why everyone is so fixated on 'only the good' songs...
maybe it's just myTaste... but, even those tracks I really loath, I jump over to listen when I'm so f*cking tired of hearing the same ol' same ol' 'good' tracks.
just, 'kdict static random access memory' (in KDE...)
and I quote (mark in bold - the important fact):
" (SRAM) Random access memory in which each bit of storage is a bistable flip-flop, commonly consisting of cross-coupled inverters. It is called "static" because it will retain a value as long as power is supplied, unlike dynamic random access memory (DRAM) which must be regularly refreshed. It is however, still volatile, i.e. it will lose its contents when the power is switched off, in contrast to ROM.
SRAM is usually faster than DRAM but since each bit requires several transistors (about six) you can get less bits of SRAM in the same area. It usually costs more per bit than DRAM and so is used for the most speed-critical parts of a computer (e.g. cache memory) or other circuit."
so, for every 'bit' you'd want, you have to pay more (in monetary sence), and also get larger chips (about six times, larger - PS I mean only the 'chip' in the 'chip-package', not the 'packaged-chip').... so you kinda wonder if it really suits as 'RAM', especially in cases as notebooks, PDA's, usb-memory... etc. (yes, maybe you wouldn't notice much in a desktop/workstation/server computer)
although, with minor re-struckturing, like layering even more in 'building ontop of each other' instead of building chips 'on a flat 2d surface', we would notice even less of a dimensional change (don't think you'd notice a few micron's change in the z-axel) - though I'm not aware of anyone having the tech to brew chips with more very many layers (Intels & AMD's chips got like IIRC 5 -to- 10 layers, don't recall by heart they have more then that...correct me if I'm off...). So it'd cost even more in the begining, as the tech isn't really developed yet (to have the same successfull manufacturing rate)....
and reading the slashdot-summary, I just wanted to say that it may not be 'watching TV per say' that's bad... but it would lie more in 'what you are watching'.
Has anyone done in-depth studies about what 'content' might or might not do?
really nice... but I think we all forgot about "catch-22"
- - -
Catch-22
is a military term that is confusing
and difficult to describe.
In short, its basic meaning is that if there was a
rule, no matter what the rule is, there is always an exception to it.
It is a mysterious regulation that is in essence a
circular argument. This catch keeps Yossarian in the war because a concern for one's own life proved that he is not really crazy, and to get out of combat you have to be crazy. The catch is used by the superior powers to uphold and increase their
power, and yet it is harmful to those who do not have power in the first place. It creates situations
where, when you think everything is perfect,
Catch-22 pops up and makes your plans impossible.

ok - it's a totally fair counter-argument you make, let me relpy by quoating - "Since shattering that 50 percent mark the level of global spam e-mail has continued to skyrocket. By most measures that figure is now somewhere around 75 percent". And that was July 15, 2004.
