Since you are creating a web site for day traders, I think your business plan should include some info on how you can attract venture capitalists. If not, update your business plan.
You must be doing something wrong then. I get about 10-20 emails a day (the rest is spam). Blew away everything and started from scratch a couple months ago for fun, and i'm getting 99.95% accuracy.
So, you get 0.05% spam. Two months with 20 mails a day = 1200 mails. 0.05% of 1200 is 0.6. So, did you get a spam mail in the last two months, or not?
I have tried to contact IBM to get specs for their wonderful hard disk active protection system (warning: flash animation). Emailing
IBM was hopeless, just standard replies about contacting IBM
HQ, but without any contact information. I tried to call IBM but I
could not even speak to someone who had any clue about what I
was talking about.
The system is basically an accelerometer which monitor the movements
of the laptop, and spins down the HD when there is a risk of impact.
I would like to write a Linux driver for it, but I refuse to reverse
engineer the windows driver. More info here
I agree. Yes, parsing is expensive, but it isn't so expensive that it can't be done. Word does spell and grammatical checking on the fly. Electronics design software does "on the fly" forward and backward annotation while you work (checking that the circuit layout is consistent with your schematics). I have no problem understanding that the editor needs to do a lot of what is requires by a compiler. But it can be done.
I want a syntax cheker running while I am editing the source code.
Example 1: When I am writing: "printf("Hello %d\n", "world");" I want a red line under "world", with a mouse-over stating: "Integer, not string expected in printf format string". I want this to happen while i type.
Example 2: When writing: sinus(3.14); I want a red line under sinus(), with a mouse over explaining "Call to function sinus() without prototype" without running the code trough a compiler.
I also want sane syntax highlighting. I want it to highlight the things that I look for when I am browsing trough lost of code. That is my function and variable names. All other should be kept in low key (eg. if while for int struct etc.). I am not sure if i want call to libc to be highlighted. Show me the important stuff, not the cruft! Editors are not too bad on this (or can be customized), but when I press print in emacs or use gnu enscript, it prettyprints all the wrong things, and hides away the important stuff.
I do electronic design, and we are moving away from schematics (visual design) to text based tools (VHDL, Verilog), because of the complexity of our designs. I am sure that advanced systems will be made with text based tools. Simple programs can be made with visual tools.
Graphical tools are phased out in advanced electronic design, and I don't understand why programming (which usually have much more complex logic than electronics) should switch to visual design.
Free hardware is good news, since I use free software;-)

Many users (European, Asian) want software which isn't from USA (eg. Microsoft, SCO, Sun..). Open source is considered belonging to the world, ie. global.
In the movie world, a 7.1 audio mix usually means a 5.1 surround mix plus
a conventional 2 channel stereo mix. You can synthesis a conventional
stereo mix from a 5.1 surround mix, but the result may vary. That is
why some movies are mixed in 7.1, which really is both a 5.1 and a
stereo mix.
When the
movie is distributed on DVD or used in cinemas they use the 5.1. When
the movie is sent on TV (eg. PAL with NICAM), you get the stereo mix.

I don't understand why the software have to be old to be stable. Wine usualy gets better when aging, but I don't understand why this should apply to software, since the bug fixing usually is done by the developers, and they do it in the latest (or development) version.
Is Win95 stable enough for you, or do you prefer the more unstable Win2K ?
I understand that Theo and friends are pissed off by the IETF, but I really hope that they write an RFC for carp, so that we can have a compatible version for other OSes. Are there any detailed descriptions of CARP on the net yet ?

From the FAQ:
Why not add this capability to SMTP as an option?
This solution will only work if it is exclusive of existing practice. In order to solve the problem we must stop accepting traffic from non- trusted sources.
So the diffference is just that, it's not backward compatible....
Well, I did this with gimp (using image->colors->brightness-constrast), and I saw the same thing, but I belive this is an artifact of jpg compression. You can see the same effect on the screenshots from the other games on the same page (See the "game audits" image).

It goes to great lengths to protect the web server machine against attacks and breakins from other sites.
Well, you shold try to google for thttpd security . It has a security record which makes Windows 95 look pretty good.

A Real Solution would be to move the power supply inside the computer. However, that would require that the computer meet UL safety requirements.

I forgot to tell that Eagle isn't open souce, but CadSoft have a free (as in beer) lisence.
We use Eagle for all our PCB designs.

Works perfect for now. But some day the spammers will adopt to this too ....
