There are several papers describing using Naive Bayes classification, as well as others AI techniques, to filter spam here.
Look for the section on "Document Filtering".
the industry won't allow its movies to be broadcast because they don't want viewers to record 'perfect copies' of movies.
Hmm... I sense here a possible money making opportunity. Let's create some "digital decay" software that screws up the digital content before it is broadcast. It would drop a frame here and there, change a few pixels now and then, etc. Then sell it to the MPAA. (Or licence it with a wicked EULA). Then they get to broadcast their crappy, edited-for-TV movies, and we can watch them without being evil-pirate-consumers!
I heard the NPR interview this morning as well. I believe he also said that only "Computer Security Professionals" should hunt for security flaws, and regular folks should not. I have no idea how you differentiate yourself as a "Computer Security Professional". Maybe you will have to register yourself with the government to get immunity from DMCA prosecutions.:(
hmmm. if only Linus knew what was to come when he wrote the following in his first posting to the minix newsgroup:
``Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (it's going to be HUGE, so let's put a stop to this "Linus doesn't scale" crap before it starts!:)''
I thought Bill was going to instruct me to send the email to my friends, and he would pay me a dollar for each one who received it. No such luck though.
Hmm... So along with protecting us from aliens, maybe the "Men in Black" will also run Windows Update for us too? ("Was that a security update?", "Nope, just a weather baloon." *flash*)
I'm in the same boat. I've taken responsibility for computer security at my little company, but there is no training budget at all. I was pleasantly surprised to find that DallasCon had a student price of 40 dollars for their security conference. I got a ton of good information there. Otherwise I rely on web sites like SecurityFocus.com
for information.
Amen to that. I get a ton of spam from Korea, and I can't even read Korean. Even worse, it's all HTML spam, so my email client dutifully goes and grabs a bunch of images from Kornet and Pubnet. I guess it's hard to opt-out if you can't read & write in the language.:(
I suppose the next logical step would be for record companies to pay radio stations NOT to play their competitor's songs. ("Here's $500,000 to play our songs, and another $500,000 not to play that Sony stuff.")
Charles: Yes. So these blancmanges, blancmange-shaped creatures come from the planet Skyron in the Galaxy of Andromeda. They order 48,000,000 kilts from a Scottish menswear shop... turn the population of England into Scotsmen (well known as the worst tennis-playing nation on Earth) thus leaving England empty during Wimbledon fortnight! Empty during Wimbledon fortnight... what's more the papers are full of reports of blancmanges appearing on tennis courts up and down the country - practising. This can only mean one thing!

Hmmm... Robot roadkill? Instead of seeing stereotypical rednecks stopped on the side of the road, we'll start seeing sterotypical geeks stopped on the side of the road.
"Hey, the optical sensors are still good! Woohoo!"

Andrew McCallum's BOW (Bag Of Words) statistical classifier is released under the LGPL. It's available here.

DM: Um, what's yer save versus Slashdotting?
Dude: 12
DM: Sorry, you didn't save. You are separated from the party, and you lose all your spell points.
Dude: D'oh!
Who would all of the script-kiddies on T-online.de and Wanadoo.fr scan if my network wasn't on the EU net?? :)

Um, just do what Q does - "Change the gravitational constant of the universe." *duh*
Heh, just paint your DC black and write "Cisco" on it in white letters.

"ha-ha." (and maybe: "Gotta nuke something.")
They have become....comfortably dumb.

Obviously this is some kind of trojan or rootkit. We better check our logs to see what happened.
This way they can fill up your storage space, and then try to get you to pay for more.
The ring.... It wants you to beat the high score.
Lone Star Comics seems to have a decent selection of Anime on VHS and DVD. You can also order stuff from them online.
